Why do you just have this?
*Grabs onto it and pockets my knives*

@Techspert

Doing dangerous stuff when you’re not a super powered invulnerable behemoth just means you need to compensate with utility. That thing just so happens to serve a few gravity-defying functions. Put it on your hand and hold your hand straight up. Make sure it’s tight and secure.

@GalaxyRaider

I feel like a data piñata.
*Holds onto the handle and relaxes my elbow*

@Techspert

Please don’t burst open.
*I stand as close to the edge as I can and hold my armored hand straight out over it, and a moment later you quickly, but not joltingly, are pulled upward by an attraction between my armor and the thing you hold. I catch you and pull you in, holding you in my arms as I spin you around quickly, making sure not to snag the barbed edges*
Magic!
*Smiles widely*

*Catches your gaze and blushes, but then smiles*
Okay, fine. That was pretty cute.

@Techspert

*Chuckles as I set you down on your feet*
No you.
*Turns toward the cameras finally in acknowledgment, now that we’re both up here*

@GalaxyRaider

*Kicks at one of them*
Aaaand they're not working. Maybe this place really is a massive trap.

@Techspert

I didn’t even do it this time either. So it does worry me.
*Walks one lap around the array, analyzing it top to bottom*

@GalaxyRaider

*The beacon system is surrounded by reinforced glass on all sides, including below, and is only connected by a hair-width optical fiber running between the seams, along with indiscernible wireless protocols*
I brought a vampire tap just in case, but it looks like that thing is using glass all the way down. I’m not really interested in logging in if I can avoid it.

@Techspert

You think disabling security here would do more harm than good?

@GalaxyRaider

Disrupting the satellite is going to be noisy. Plus, we’re exposed up here.

@Techspert

Maybe coming up here was a mistake…
*Puts my hand on my chin and stares at it*

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*In a quick motion, betraying a level of speed that I must have been previously hiding, I sweep kick your legs out from under you and jump back up to slam an elbow down onto you as you fall, blasting you into the dirt*

@Valiance

*my body flimsily gets slammed into the ground as I am still in a daze only to shortly wake after the impact*
Wah-!

[Spiritblitz]

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

*The shell, now cracked and visibly rocking back and forth a block's length, flings you backward as it tries to catch you with its scythe*
Do you feel lucky??
*Rockets into the path of the scythe, a brief blue halo of data traveling from my feet to the top of my head as I catch the hook of the weapon and knock it off its course*

@System

Wah!
*swings my arms and slams the air with a concussive blast, re-centering myself and stopping mid air to slam down into the cracked parts of the shell*

@GalaxyRaider

*Puts my hand against a nearby decorative pillar, but then recoils as if shocked*

@Galvanize

Ho ho! Did I discover a bit of a weakness there?

@Spiritblitz

*The shield holds for a tense moment before giving in, crumbling apart and dropping you into the total darkness that comprises the creature’s body*

@GalaxyRaider

I’m having a tough...
*Closes my eyes and turns my head for a few seconds to clear my thoughts*
Time with some of these hotspots. They keep... scrambling bits...

@Valiance

*grins*
Did you do something while I was napping?
*punches your face into the ground with much more solid force that causes a massive blast-back into the air*
