Akris cursed inwardly, he could hear shouting up ahead.  Any opportunity for jubilation upon hearing safety was crushed before it could truly take root, ahead was the sound of battle.  He could even hear the odd burst of gunfire, that can’t be good.  Akris increased his speed, though it was slow moving with so much mist about.<br/><br/>Casting a glance at the computer on his evosuits wrist, he suspected the little blips ahead indicated movement.  Of course it could be biohazard warnings, possibly rad warnings or even just “beware, giant pit!” he could never be quite sure, technology was never his strong point.  Activating his energy spear as he closed in, and hoping it wasn’t the later, he increased his pace perhaps a little dangerously given the surroundings.<br/><br/>Finally he arrived at the blips and his heart sank, he could see the a figure clad in a shattered evosuit, with a pack of ferocious looking felines tearing at him.  With a yell and a lunge of his spear, the beasts scattered from his attack, no doubt they’d be back later, though.  Quickly checking the body, he was sure the fellow was dead.  Just then he heard shouting ahead, at a small cave nuzzled into the trunk of the tree.  Eager to aid whoever he could, Akris made a quick pace.<br/><br/>Casting over the lip of the cave entrance, he could hear more shouting within and spotted several corpses of cats, hoping he was not too late he surged forth.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> “Rutzeh!! You vicious bastards, come to-! … Oh.” </span>Akris bellowed, cut short as he stumbled into the scene before him.  His eyes widened and beheld the two women facing down the massive bovine.  Only as an afterthought did his brain note the sound of a stun pistol charging, but by that point he was well and truly committed.<br/><span style="color: #ff4d4d"><br/>
“Woah now!  Let’s calm things down!  The cats - um, they’re gone! Let’s not shoot each other up!” </span>He gestures behind him with the spear,<span style="color: #ff4d4d">“Hey big guy, those felines’ll be back quick enough, let’s go put that big hamm-....”</span>Whatever was supposed to follow was cut short by the hologram floating before the AI’s manifestation.  He blinked once, then twice, his cheeks visibly warming inside his helmet.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> “Oh.” </span>was all his mind could sophisticate as he took in the sight of the two fae being violated, he’d never seen anything like it in his life.<br/><br/>His stare lasted a few moments, before he cast his eyes over the rest of the number.  Though it didn't take long before his gaze quickly fixed on the naga amongst them, especially given she had raised herself to her full regal stature.  He quickly swallowed, then brought his spear up in a quick salute and bowing his head.<span style="color: #ff4d4d"> "Princess, my apologies."  </span>He announced, his previous bumbling falling by the way side in her presence.  Though his eyes certainly didn't stop glancing towards the scene playing out in the hologram.<br/><br/>Akris’s spear still thrummed with power.  His exosuit was quite clearly designed to be a little more durable than most, free of most of the more sophisticated apparatus carried by scientists and the like.  It showed signs of significant amounts of caked blood over it’s camouflaged form.  The man himself stood approximately halfway between 6ft and 7, well built and probably well structured, although it was hard to tell given the suit.  Strapped at his hip was a retractable sword and little else, missing even the most basic supplies anyone would bring to a world like this.  His scaly skin was clearly clammy, the man had been running for some time.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
