Elario & Tifa II

[Elario Luminus]

Kylar fell into a crouch and retreated back into the treeline. His night vision brightened at the helicopters search light as it passed nearby. He found a COMM. link with the Elite miraculously.
'Those people in the chopper know we're here. Otherwise there wouldn't be a search light.'
Kylars target designator in his visor placed a red diamond over the helicopter, and gave its name and distance.

>//PROTOTYPE: FALCON<//
>>-DISTANCE: 1000M-<<

The Spartan frowned. Falcons weren't placed into production till 2479, when UNSC strike teams had to get through tight mountainous regions of Insurrectionist-held planets. And it's 2012 now...odd. We...no, I need to get in touch with a military power somehow. And without compromising Cthar. That's gonna be difficult.
Another snag. Kylar felt what he assumed would be frustration, then quickly pushed the feeling aside. Focus on the mission, or in this case, the current objective, then contemplate afterwards.

Cthar's reply to Kylar's observation was a growl of agitation. He'd concealed himself neatly under the cover of the trees a short way from the Spartan's position and thanks to his camouflage he was practically invisible.
"Do we have a plan?" the Elite asked.

[Elario Luminus]

'Right now, no. The closest thing we have to a plan is surviving. Personally, I need to get to a military power quickly to assess what we can and can't do. Unfortunately, I'll need you as far away from that spot as possible without getting yourself killed or seen.' Kylar stated, as he watched the helicopter pass lazily and safely overhead. Waiting for the sound of its blades to disappear a little, he spoke up again.
'That will have to wait for now, though. Military's out in force right now, and they won't be able to do the same thing during the day without arousing suspicion.'

[Tifa Lockhart]

The only reply Kylar would recieve over the comm this time was a faint growl of acknowledgment.
For the first time ever, Cthar was at a loss for what to do. His situation seemed completely hopeless... stranded on an alien world, far from his people, far from help and with no way of ever getting back. He'd never been a coward, but deep within he could already feel a shadow of doubt sneaking its way up inside his chest.

[Elario Luminus]

Kylar knew his Elite companion would be put out by all this, and possibly by the fact that Kylar had just asked him to go hide alone while he went off and spoke to a military power. After watching the prototype Falcon disappear behind the nearby cityscape, the Spartan crept out from beneath the trees.
'Okay, we're good. Let's get moving.'
Kylar moved at a quick low-profile jog, unsheathing his combat knife as he went. If something, or rather, someone jumped them, he wanted them to know about it. He set a NAV marker on a large building, regal in appearance, that was set deep in the city. 'That's our target. Let's get there.'

[Tifa Lockhart]

"Affirmative," the Elite replied gruffly, breaking from his cover just after Kylar, and following just behind him under the shielding of his camouflage.

[Elario Luminus]

((You can follow the next step if you like.))

[Tifa Lockhart]

((uh... what?))

[Elario Luminus]

((I'm experiencing writers block. XD))

[Tifa Lockhart]

(( i have no idea what to do?))

Kylar quickly arrived to a concrete barricade that bordered a road. Cursing, he snuck under the dark cover of a tree as he checked along the road in both directions, checking for vehicles of some sort. He saw a large-ish white dot appear on his motion tracker to his right, and looked in that direction. Sure enough, the Spartan watched as headlights grew brighter as the vehicle got closer, but they weren't the usual white LEDs that cars normally had. They were an ugly yellow, and Kylar's suit was telling him that they let off a slight reading of radiation. As the car zoomed by, Kylar snapped a photo with his helmet camera, then pulled the photo up and studied it.
'This is an old vehicle. Uses petrol and old 21st century lights. It also doesn't have any systems in it to counter driver error, so it's completely manned. This isn't good.'[/b]
Deleting the photo and checking the road to see if it was clear of cars, Kylar vaulted the barricade and sprinted across the road.

Cthar still followed silently, ducking from shadow to shadow in order to make his camouflage its most effective. He didn't like doing all this sneaking and hiding... and he didn't particularly like following a human around, but he really had no choice in the matter. He pressed himself right up against the nearest wall when the vehicle went past. It was of no kind that he recognised, but it still had the inherent clunkiness that he'd come to expect from human engineering.
