WHO: victor nikiforov (genice), k-2so (k_2so), shiro (bayarm) WHERE: mainly Oros and a cargo ship WHEN: 1st - 4th of February WHAT: victor and shiro go down to the planet to rescue aliens and pick up a droid as well. WARNINGS: well, genocide.
( all signs of tension in an already tense situation. Victor's eyes slide toward Shiro, then away again. he can't imagine what that's like. he hasn't been a weapon of anything other than a certain kind of media and image for his country through the platform of his sport, and it was never so sharp, for the most part. weaponized prosthetics is an almost super-soldier style fancy he wouldn't be fond of if he had time to slow down and think about it.
they don't have that time. he doesn't allow himself to think except in a detached way, understanding basics of crowd control and locking down how he might feel about it best as he can. )
Head for the fringe of the groups. Smaller numbers are less risk. We don't have clear communication with the Orosians and we're running on limited time. I'm sorry, but I just don't think landing in the middle of a big group is going to be most helpful.
( not with just the two of them and one weaponized arm. )
[ victor hardly reacts, and shiro is glad for it. he doesn't particularly want to explain what happened, nor would he be able to because he still doesn't remember most of it.
he gives victor a nod; it's good thinking even if shiro hates that it's necessary at all. ] I don't think we'll manage to fit more than four or five into the ship at any given time. Maybe six. [ he points to a spot on the screen where three dots are moving. ] I'll set down there first.
( pitiful numbers, that handful, but he nods. he doesn't have to be happy about any of this to be facing its reality. )
Five, then. At least five. Starting with these three.
( it isn't enough. but it's going to have to be; three lives are better than zero. are better than what awaits the rest of this world. (though is survival going to be any easier?)
[ five it's not a lot, but if they can make more than one trip before it all goes to hell entirely, maybe they can save more. and they're not the only team down here, trying to save people. shiro tries to find solace in that, but it's a bitter and desperate thing nonetheless. ]
I'll bring her down now. [ is all the warning he gives victor before tipping the nose of the ship downward and beginning their descend properly, toward those three life signs. ]
