Hell no, OUR missions take priority above all else, they can do whatever they want so long as they stay out of the way. Just because they're scary doesn't mean we need to do whatever they want us to do. They aren't invincible.

Pfft. I never said their missions take priority above ours friendo. This is regardds to THEIR motivation. Whatever they're after. Since we're a merc, we can't just say fuck corporations. We gotta understand em, to get the most money outta them. Or crush their toys eventually. But seriously, we aren't backed by a megacorp, we don't have that money. Pick your battles anon.

"We're here to rescue Dr. Vahlen." You say cautiously, keeping your grip on your weapon tight.

"I see." HUNK nods but doesn't lower his weapon. "Our mission is to bring in the rogue BOW for further study."

"That means we got dibs on it!" SOPMOD says cheerfully. "So you two are gonna have to move along now!"

Huh, seems like HUNK and SOPMOD were here on a different mission, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that someone in Umbrella caught wind of Vahlen's... "experiment" and wanted a piece. Pretty much the reason why Vahlen wanted you to destroy the BOW in the first place.

You look to HK, but she keeps her gaze and aim squarely on HUNK, waiting for your next order.

All you knew was, the longer you dallied, the more time the Viper could recover, or worse, more Umbrella mercs converging on your position. If HUNK had the idea to check this place out, others couldn't be far behind.

"Sorry, but we got dibs." You reply. "Doctor's orders."

"I see." HUNK says coldly.

"Eheheheh, things are starting to get fun, eh newbie?" SOPMOD giggles.

HK remains silent.

And this impromptu Mexican standoff continues, the four of you keeping you weapons trained on each other as the window outside howls, causing the hull to creak and groan.

If we're going insane, I say an Aussies-in-Vietnam-style Bitch. You take an L1A1 SLR (semi-auto only British and Commonwealth FAL), take the handguards off, saw down the barrel as far as you can, use a matchstick as a "field-expedient sear" so she can rock-and-roll, and bolt on a grenade launcher.

>>3020531
Not really. The very minimum we could probably use is an LMG unless we get enough strength mods to fire heavier machineguns from the shoulder, or hip.

"Nothing says we can't have a little contest to see who can get to it first." You speak up.

"Oh! OH! That sounds fun!" SOPMOD turns her head to HUNK, her eyes wide like a puppy. "Can we race 'em? Please? Please?"

"This is not part of the mission." HUNK growls.

"Oh come oooooon do as a favor to me?" SOPMOD asks, still keeping up the puppy eyes. "Remember that time I totally saved your life?"

"Because you're programmed to." HUNK reminds her. "And if I remember correctly, it was YOUR demo charge that collapsed the tunnel in the first place."

"But I pulled ya out, didn't I?" SOPMOD giggles.

HUNK just gives SOPMOD a hard stare before shaking his head ever so slightly.

"Fine. I'm in no mood getting shot for no reason." HUNK grunts, lowering his weapon. "We'll do it your way, then. First one to neutralize the BOW gets to decide what to do with it."

"All right!" SOPMOD cheers. "Then we'll go this way and you guys can go that way! Totally fair! Right, newbie?"

"I suppose." HK replies tersely. "May the best pair win."

And so HUNK and SOPMOD head down the tunnel they picked, leaving you and HK alone.

"Well, let's get moving." HK grunts. "We don't want them to get ahead of us."

Considering our partner, an M27 IAR with some nice Magpul 40-rounders, and a 60 round drum in the gun, would be a solid choice to let us do the Automatic Rifle thing, though personally I'd say old school Galil with one of those ludicrous 50-rounders in the gun and a harness full of 35s would be more unique and stylish.

You nod. HK was right that you had to get going and keep moving if you wanted to get to the Viper before HUNK and SOPMOD did.

"I've been tracking the blood the BOW left behind after it was wounded, but it seems like it's already regenerated its wounds, or at least closed them up." HK explains as she scans the ice in front of you. "If the BOW retains the instincts of a snake, then it would naturally move downward deeper into its tunnel system.

You pause and focus on your biosensor. You could detect an extremely strong signal, similar to HK's, moving upwards towards the upper decks. Were HUNK and SOPMOD up to something? Meanwhile you were having trouble finding the Viper. You're not sure if it was just the climate, the Viper's biology, or if it found some place to shelter itself.

Going down deeper... you'd be heading under the ice and be well underwater. If there were a hull breach down there, well... well you wouldn't want to be down there, that's for sure.

Well, guess there wasn't much else to do but go deeper into the ship. You could definitely feel the ground beneath you slant downwards as HK leads the way. At some points, the tunnel winds close to the ship's rusted hull. You try to ignore the large chunks of ice protruding from the hull, indicating past breaches. Hopefully they wouldn't open up again.

You continue on through the tunnels, moving deeper and deeper, with the only source of light quickly becoming the glow from HK's eyes and the dim flame simmering on your flamethrower.

And then you enter a large chamber, a section of the hold that seems to have been dug out.

Something drips on your shoulder, and you instinctively look up, turning on your flashlight.

You're met with the sigh of a giant black... THING hanging above you, stuck in the ice. You notice that parts of the ice had bee chipped away, exposing the body, where some sort of black ichor seeps out and pools on the ground below.

This must have been that Invader Vahlen was talking about.

It seemed almost... familiar somehow.

"Contamination index reaching unsafe levels." HK stops and puts a hand to your chest. "Recommendation that you retreat. I'll flush the Viper out."

I mean if we can get rid of some of it, it might bring the contamination down a tiny bit.

>>3020718
>>Follow HK's warning.

Hell if we do follow her warning, we should at least trade weapons with her so she has the flamethrower, so she can flush out the BOW more effectively.

>>3020718

"Don't worry, HK. I'll be fine." You assure her. "We won't be down here long. Let's just keep going."

"Affirmative." HK nods. "But I will keep a close eye on your vitals, regardless."

"Thanks." You grin. "So uh, what do we do about this thing?"

"My standard programming would have me destroy the Invader in order to prevent any possible future harm it may cause." HK says simply. "Though I would defer to your decision."

"My stored data supports that assertion." HK nods. "You're not planning to-"

You shoot a burst of flame from your flamethrower, igniting the black ichor. The orange flames crawl up the walls towards the main body, providing more fuel.

The Viper leaps out of nowhere, striking you like an arrow as its head slams into your chest. The momentum continues, and you both slam into the ice. The ice shakes loose, and flaming Invader blood and ichor comes tumbling down on both of you. HK swings around to bring her gun in line, but a quick tail whip from the Viper sends her flying, smashing into the opposite end of the hold.

The Viper then wraps its body around, you and starts to constrict, squeezing the air out of your lungs. Not only that, but its cold body practically sucks the warm out of yours, further sapping your strength. The world starts to grow dark and blurry, your vision fading-

"My my, it looks like you're in quite the bind."

This new voice you hear crystal clear, and you open your eyes.

Time itself seems to have frozen, or at least slowed to a crawl. The Viper is still wrapped around you, head reared back and fangs bared, ready to finish you off. In the background, you could see HK scrambling to her feet. But you knew even with her enhanced speed and reflexes, there was no way she was going to make it in time.

And then there was that black cat, nestled snugly on top of HK's head, using her beret like a makshift bed.

Wait, since when did that get there?

"You should feel fortunate, that I've decided to keep watching over you all this time." The voice continues.

"Wait, I remember you..." You frown. "...Loki?"

You vaguely recall playing with a black cat when you were young. One you swore could talk to you. But ever since then, Mom had always maintained that the family never had a cat, and you were just imagining things. Maybe you were, but it seemed so real right now-

"Ah, so you DO remember! Human memories can be so fallible, especially when you're young!" The black cat chuckles as he teleports from HK's head onto the Viper's, staring at you with those beady golden eyes. "We're at quite the interesting moment."

"Moment?" You frown, staring back at the cat.

"See, I was content to just stay back and watch your latent potential emerge. It was going to happen sooner or later." Loki chuckles as his tail flicks back and forth. "But this convergence of events... well... let's just say that it's going to happen sooner."

"Potential? What the hell are you talking about?" You growl, trying to move, but like everything else, you were locked in time, only able to see, hear, and speak.

"You have absolutely no idea what Alice and Carol locked away within you." Loki huffs, as if offended. "The crystallization of everything Alice gained. The logical endpoint of her development!"

Loki then pauses and glances back at you.

"My apologies, I got a tad carried away there. It's been AGES since I actually spoke to anyone." Loki leaps from the Viper's head down to your shoulder. He felt... warm. "There's two paths ahead of you, Lewis. You can accept what you are, and claim your birthright. Or... you can try to delay it just a bit. Leave your fate to the whims of chance. But the wheels are already turning, young Lewis. What has started cannot be stopped, so why not just hurry along things for a bit for your own benefit?"

You look at Loki, smugly staring back at you. You look at the Viper, ready to land a killing blow on you. You look at HK, desperately trying to save you from certain death.

"Oh no, I'm not going to do anything. This is all on you." Loki chuckles.

"It'll come to you, if my memory of human survival instinct is correct." Loki purrs. "It will come naturally to you, in your greatest moment of need. You just need to-

And in that instant, time returns to normal. Your chest burns while your skin goes numb. The Viper's hissing fills your ears as HK tries to scramble to her feet.

And... you feel... something. A warmth welling up inside of you, burning like a miniature sun. And you see...

You see... light. A brilliant rainbow of light, like as if you were looking directly into a kaleidoscope.

The intense burning sensation fades away, becoming something softer, more intimate. Like a hug from Mom, when you very little and scared of... something.

Soon the light dims and fades away, and your vision returns to normal. You blink and find yourself kneeling on the ground, a brilliantly glowing dagger now clutched tightly in your hand. When did it get there?

And then straight ahead, you see the Viper, flung into the ice by an unknown force. HK meanwhile was just standing there, a blank look on her face. Her eyes and facial expression seemed to be twitching unnaturally, as if she had suffered some sort of system error. Did... did you cause it?

But the Viper was already starting to regain its senses, hissing at you with pure malice and... hate? You were getting that impression from it.

Your right hand grips your rifle, the flamethrower still hissing, ready to go. The dagger in your left hand trembles and wriggles, as if trying to break loose and fly straight at the Viper.

So...who should we tell about our newfound powers?

I bet if Sam found out, she'd try to find ways to milk us for all our worth. And make Nemo experiment on us everyday.

>>3020963
Hank would probably have a field day with this news. Maybe tell us stories from years ago during The War.

>>3020963
Mom, Carol, maybe Lucina.

>>3020963
Mom, because she needs to know and start teaching us what NOT to do ASAP so we don't fuck up too badly with these powers. Hopefully there's some kind of secure line we can call her from.

>>3020971
There is. She's called Carol.

All it takes is one swipe, and the Viper is just... gone.

And so is a large chunk of the hull.

You blink as you get hit the face with freezing seawater, and the dagger in your hand is suddenly gone.

In fact, all of your strength seems to disappear along with it, and you collapse to the ground the hold starting to fill with icy seawater.

Thankfully, HK seems to have finally rebooted, and she swoops in to the rescue, scooping you up and carrying you out of the flooding hold. You hear watertight bulkheads slamming shut. You feel the entire ship groan and creak, the extra weight of the seawater weighing it down.

"Lewis, your vitals are in a critical state." HK explains to you. "Can you respond?"

You look up to her and try to say something, but you can't seem to form words in your mouth.

"This is quite serious, then." HK frowns.

"What happened?" Vahlen yelps, scrambling towards you and HK, the armored case still securely in her grip. "I felt something shake the ship and now the whole thing is sinking!"

"Insufficient data for a conclusive answer." HK says grimly. "Structural integrity of this ship is now failing. We need to evacuate immediately."

"The blizzard hasn't subsided yet." Vahlen says as she does a quick, cursory examination of you. "Is he hurt?

"Insufficient data for a conclusive answer." HK replies.

"All right, then we must move." Vahlen mutters. "But if we try to make for the coast, your partner might freeze to death. Perhaps we should head to the Umbrella outpost....?"

"Negative. That would be the first place your possible killers would search." HK flatly refuses. "If we leave now, we can possibly make it when our extraction arrives."

"We need... to leave." You manage to wheeze. "To the rendezvous."

"Affirmative." HK nods.

"You can't be serious!" Vahlen gasps. "In his condition-"

"I cannot disobey his orders, Doctor." HK replies simply. "If he chooses to head to the rendezvous, then that is what we will do."

"If that's what you wish..." Vahlen says nervously.

"Lewis, your clothing is compromised." HK says as she starts shrugging her jacket off. "I'll contribute some of my own to keep you warm. I'm better suited to withstand the elements, anyways."

It's only logical to do this, since Lewis is seriously incapacitated, and HK can simply produce more waste heat as a robot anyways. Generally it's extreme heat that troubles machines, not cold.

Now that I think about it, there is one way we could try combining the best of both power sets, though it may be a bit /d/.

Carol and Lewis should have some good compatibility for some sibling combos.

She could shapeshift into, or create an armor or weapon for Lewis to use, while he could try to imbue her with Magical Girl energy to increase her effectiveness.

I don't think it should be too bad for both of them. Carol has more Invader in her than Magical Girl, while Lewis has more Magical Girl than Invader. I think it should bring out the best of both worlds.

You simply nod, and HK takes off her jacket and wraps it around you. You can instantly feel the difference as HK mounts you on her back and trudges into the snow, Vahlen in tow.

Thankfully, you manage to stay conscious throughout the whole trip. HK continues to plod along through the wind and snow, overclocking her own systems to generate as much heat as possible, not just for her own benefit, but yours as well.

Finally, after what seems like ages, you reach the rendezvous point. Out this close to the coast, you've actually outpaced the blizzard the skies clears up. Even more thankfully, you see the helicopter waiting for you. HK quickly piles you into the back while Vahlen follows closely. The helicopter then takes off, finally taking you away from this cold land.

"Lewis, would you allow me to examine you?" Vahlen asks. "I am a licensed medical professional as well, after all."

HK eyes Vahlen warily.

Meanwhile, your body was still lacking energy, but it felt like it was being torn to pieces as, well, every square inch aching horribly.

No no no no. No doctors until we get mom here. this shit is WAY too much for her to know when she's not someone we know much about. Who knows how info she learns could leak, willingly or not. We'd be risking not just us, but also mom and Carol if we let her examine us.

I'm guessing that Lewis is the kind of guy that names his attacks.

Maybe if that knife grows into a full length sword, he could call it: EXALTED BLADE

I just hope there's nothing wrong with him since iirc, only women could use magic.

You only manage a nod, but that's enough to get HK to back off.

"All right, this won't take long." Vahlen says as she leans forward, zipping your jacket open. "Hm, some signs of minor physical trauma, but nothing that would explain your symptoms."

Vahlen then reaches into her bag and brings out a small injector gun, pressing it against your chest.

"This will just inject a simple diagnostic sensor." Vahlen explains as she pulls the trigger. You flinch.

Vahlen the takes out her laptop and glances at her screen. You can see her eyes flitting back and forth on the screen.

"Hm, it seems like your immune system is starting to reject your biomod." Vahlen explains and pauses. "In fact, I don't detect ANY immune suppressants in your system, which is... quite odd."

"Never seemed to need them." You croak.

"Well, you do need some now." Vahlen says calmly as she takes a syringe out of her case. "Thankfully I always keep a little for emergencies."

Vahlen moves to inject you, but pauses and glances at HK, who gives a slight nod. You wince at the injection, but you immediately start to feel better. Well, at least you weren't feel like you being torn apart at the cellular level now.

"That should handle the pain for now, but I suggest a more thorough evaluation at a proper medical facility." Vahlen says as she packs up her gear. "And, in return for destroying my creation..."

Vahlen reaches into her case and takes out a small, black box, handing it over to HK.

"My payment."

However, that's just about when you lose consciousness...

Considering how things are turning out, we're not turning into a warframe anytime soon without some rather significant alterations.

>>3021104

If he does have one, the real question is if it just gives him a cool new outfit/form, or turns him into a cute girl.

The reactions should be rather great to see. I'm interested in how Lucina would take the news.

If we do transform, we better give ourselves a more appropriate name for it as well as something to hide our identity. No telling how many people would want Lewis' genetic samples for bioweapons.

>>3022140

I'm putting in my vote that Lewis should look like a Bloodborne Hunter while transformed.

>>3022164
If he choose the 'dark, empty void' maybe. In fact that might even be fitting if that vote also came with ways to gain strength via killing and taking in 'essence' of some kind.

>>3022164
Why?
What's the connection here?
I mean yeah, Bloodborne is cool, but I just don't get why anons constantly want to ape its style even in settings where it would be completely out of place visually.

>>3022164
Pretty good. Maybe mix in a bit of weird organic stuff like Mesa since we're seemingly bingeing on warframes.

>>3021537
>>3021667
If we can spawn infinite clothes, we could give Luci some.

>>3022245

Fair enough. Still, I find it fitting given how Lewis is a Hunter who kills rogue BOWs as a living rather than being a high school schoolgirl.

Just my two-cents.

>>3022254

Because in Bloodborne the Hunters are individuals with eldritch-horror blood who slay monstrosities.

Lewis is a Hunter with biomods and one hell of a spliced genetic make-up who kills genetically engineered monstrosities.

The parallels are rather obvious, but I have no issue with differing to what Merc/the majority of players decide on what Lewis' 'outfit' will be; if there is one at all.

Well, except we went the Magical route for our abilities instead of the Invader DNA one. And most of Bloodborne's visual style is due to it being a pseudo-Victorian English setting.

You don't really remember much of what happened after you passed out. Just... fuzzy clouds. A few rays of light. Scattered images that fade away right before you can make any sense of them.

Finally, your eyes manage to pry themselves open, and you instantly regret it as your blinded by a bright white light overhead.

Soon, you eyes begin to adjust, and you find yourself...

And you find yourself in your room. Your... old room. The one you had lived in when you were a kid, with Mom, Dad, and Carol....

"Finally awake, huh?"

You turn you gaze to the side, where you could see Mom sitting in a chair, cigarette in her mouth. A real one. It wasn't let, but it looked like she was fighting the urge to, a lighter continually being palmed around in her hands. She also looked completely haggard, as if she hadn't been sleeping for days. And to her side, leaning against the wall was a fully loaded assault rifle, read to be picked up at a moment's notice.

You didn't see Carol or HK present, though.

"Mom...?" You croak.

"You're going to tell me just WHAT THE HELL happened down there." Mom growls. "Every. Detail. Now."

Your heart stopped cold. The intense tone of her voice indicated that Mom was being serious. Dead serious. You've actually never seen her so on edge in your life, and it honestly kind of scared you.
