Species: Human. I'm pretty certain of that. Kanohi: Kanohi Bluglass, Mask of Anti-Glare Prescription Glasses Weapons and Equipment: Equipment: Flat caps. A wallet. A driving permit.
Weapons: I have an awesome katana on my wall.
IC: Tuhi waves back and grins nervously. “I have no idea what to do,” Tuhi hisses through gritted teeth. “What’s your plan?”
IC: "I... I'm not sure either," she admits, her smile fading. "I was hoping to do some training with the new mask, but... I should go with the team and help, right? It sounds like they'll need all the help they can get."
IC: “I don’t know if I’d be more helpful or more of an added liability,” Tuhi whispers. “I don’t know if it would be a good idea for me to tag along again. I think I’ve done more harm than good in past missions, but I’ve been practicing with the gear Takua gave me...” He wrings his hands. “What do you think? Should I try it? Will things be different this time?”

As the soldier pressed forward the Toa confirmed a short walk, thankfully. He wasn't too keen on a marathon distance before he takes on the world once again. He'd had ample rest, yes, but more would be fine even for a few more minutes yet the soldier was never one for complaining at all. No, he typically dealt with the situation with ease, either an easier way or the much harsher way. But regardless of his mental complaints a job was a job, and it might pay handsomely.
The Vagabond turned his head in confusion, "A... Transport Chute? Elaborate." This caught his curiousness now. Was it much like a parachute, or maybe a type of Jumper Pack the Phase I Etorian Units wore primarily. He remembered the battle over Petram Ridge, a small rebellious settlement, the main HQ of the Su-Toa Leaders: Korungu, Terraumn, and Solomon. While Solomon escaped the other two were taken out by para gliding with Jumper Packs, it made arial assault much easier.
IC: “See, it’s like a tunnel, and they use magnetized protodermis inside to move you from one station to another. Might feel some fear-dread if it’s your first time—pardon my slang—but we should be fine. Fastest way to get from one side of the city to another.” The two come to the base of a large tower. The chute must be the large pipe-like structure above them that runs through the tower.
IC: The two AEGIS personnel (both Skakdi with the faintest shade of green to their armor) sort of flatly stare at the two Kra-Toa for a long time.
After an uncomfortable amount of time, one of them speaks.
"You mean, leads as to the anomaly responsible for the recent attacks/abductions in the city?"
IC: Kage sighed. "Yes. I mean the anomalies. That's the only reason I affiliated with you people, isn't it?"
Shadus shook his head. "No idea about him, but I, personally, don't want anything like the village to happen again."
IC: "We're not classified to know or discuss any further information about the anomalies," the speaking Skakdi grunts in a monotone. "Please file an appointment slot with resident director Doctor Koll if you wish to discuss further information."
The other guard looks somewhat uncomfortable, but doesn't say anything. After a moment they tap the side of their helmeted head, and begin to say things into their mic.
"We're Toa. Nature is our weapon." - Rahzahkea
"You. No matter what spell you were under, this was your doing. Remember that". - K̞͍̗͚̘a̶g̰̥e̳̦̞̝̻̕
IC: “Should be perfectly safe,” Sansod nods, “Our air power is undisputed and we have firm control over that region.”
IC: Pheore nods in agreement. "Bandits have not managed to replicate or steal any of our aerial transport; flight is by far the safest way to travel, not to mention faster than almost any alternatives."
"Well I could have told you that," Lync grumbles. "As long as we don't get caught in a dust storm across the Wastes, we're good. Flying in awful weather is a nightmare, fancy flying box or no."
Across the group, Seriac moves closer to Tuhi, waving in greeting. "Hey Tuhi," she says, smiling. "I, uh, didn't hear whether you were going to go with the others or not."
IC: "Where is the Kane-Ra," Rahzahkea says. "We should prepare to depart as soon as possible. Immediately, if possible."
Kirathel gives a long sigh, seemingly finished with examining her nails. "I'll come along. If you all die anti-climatically to these vague terrorists who else will I find to di-uh, fight on my behalf?"
She smiles faintly, but beneath the smile is something else.
A memory, distant and yet present, of another creature.
The Skrall in the navy cloak, standing before her. Offering...another way.
Storm, Kirathel remembers faintly, her smile unmoved from her face.
Perhaps...
...to see them up close would be...worthwhile.

The Vagabond merely listened as the two approached the large building, a large tube-like structure jutting out the top of the roof. It... Sounded innovated, a quick travel from one place to the next yet sounded so simple. He could guarantee that it really wasn't. The soldier held some skepticism though of the contraption ahead, wondering if that is what they would be taking now. If that was the case, did that mean their objective was much further than he thought?
"I see," The soldier started, taking the structure to a mental note, "And that thing has had no accidents before?"

"I see," The soldier started, taking the structure to a mental note, "And that thing has had no accidents before?"
IC: “Eh...” Bhadra shakes a hand as if to say “sort of.” “There are accidents of course, but it is the fastest way to get from one part of the city to another. We can walk if it makes you uncomfortable,” he adds.
Come! Come and listen, my friends. Listen as I regale you with the next chapter in the legend of the Bionicle.
"No," The Vagabond said in a gruff voice almost immediately, "I'm not too keen on sightseeing. This will do." Continuously he marched forward following the Toa. He didn't want it shown through tone, emotion nor expression... If anyone could see his face. He was actually eager to find out how well this "Chute" worked but didn't want to look like an excited virgin.

((Apologies for the short posts))
OOC: It’s chill. No one expects you to write a five-paragraph essay for literally just walking down the street.
IC: Bhadra enters the station and approaches a wall with windows in it. “I need two tickets for myself and this beg fellow here,” he says to the person behind the window, sliding two widgets over the counter. The Matoran nods and pushes a button, opening a swinging door. Bhadra leads the way inside. “Now it’s a bit of a climb from here,” he calls back. It looks like the station uses ladders to get to the loading platform.

IC: "I... I'm not sure either," she admits, her smile fading. "I was hoping to do some training with the new mask, but... I should go with the team and help, right? It sounds like they'll need all the help they can get."
IC: “I don’t know if I’d be more helpful or more of an added liability,” Tuhi whispers. “I don’t know if it would be a good idea for me to tag along again. I think I’ve done more harm than good in past missions, but I’ve been practicing with the gear Takua gave me...” He wrings his hands. “What do you think? Should I try it? Will things be different this time?”
IC: Seriac hesitates, her mouth hanging open. "Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we should just stay here and get some practice. I want to help, but... I don't know."
IC: Kage sighed. "Yes. I mean the anomalies. That's the only reason I affiliated with you people, isn't it?"
Shadus shook his head. "No idea about him, but I, personally, don't want anything like the village to happen again."

The other guard looks somewhat uncomfortable, but doesn't say anything. After a moment they tap the side of their helmeted head, and begin to say things into their mic.
IC: Shadus nodded. "Alright then..." He began. "Thanks anyway-"
"You morons kidding right now?" Kage suddenly snapped.
"We are potentially facing a calamity unlike anything that has been seen in this city. Frankly, there is very little reason to withhold information. After all, let's face it. A single vanguard member is equivalent to a hundred AEGIS soldiers."
Shadus shook his head. "Kage, what in Karzanhi-?"
"Telling these morons that they have no chance without us. Now shut up and let me finish."
He turned back to the AEGIS members. "Each member of he Vanguard has enough power to level buildings. Shadus here, as much as my mind wants to shrivel up and die by saying this, has enough firepower to potentially level a good portion of New Atero in a single day.
"You people...even if you manage to find them, what then? Will you run up to them with your thornax blasters you call 'weapons' and force them to surrender? Don't make me laugh. You're all going to your death if all of us are not on top of this. For Karzanhi's sake...
"Had we not been at the village yesterday, not only would that irritating, floating moron have possibly destroyed you all, but I heard that Shadus, Vashari, and a few others defeated the culprit of the massacre."
He threw his hands in the air. "We also would have had an immortal maniac running throughout the streets causing the city another migraine.
"I don't know what your doctor is thinking, but as much as it PAINS me to say this, as corporations such as you are the bane of my existence, but we HAVE to work together if we are going to face any chance against this.
"Do you people remember the Tower incident? OrNyxos? Or Torok? Or any of the other attacks on the city? We were completely blindsided by those. We did not have the technology to face those. Had we not been swift to respond, who knows what would MORE would have happened? And this is much, much, MUCH worse than any of these."

IC: Tuhi nods. “Practice sounds good. I’m still trying to figure out how to hold the Cordak rifle...” He glances at the ground, embarrassed. “Yeah, I should probably stay home for this one...what are you going to be doing?”

He had returned to the club or gather the two supply crates he had been preparing. Stacking them on top of each other he lifted them onto his good shoulder, and begun to make his way back.
“No one ever stood atop the heavens before. Not you, or I, or even the gods. But the unbearable vacancy of heavens throne ends now. From now on, I alone will stand at the top.”
Seeing the Toa Bhadra order the tickets using some form of currency it gave the soldier an idea that this was much like a transport station. Well it is just that, but there were no trains, rail carts, no vehicles, just this... Ladder that leads to Heavens know where. Sighing to himself as the Toa climbed upward, the soldier thought to himself that this might as well get his blood flowing, a light something to help loosen his arms and legs if anything. He began to climb after the Toa, keeping the pace relatively easily as he could feel certain pops and cracks in his arm.
IC: Seriac hesitates, her mouth hanging open. "Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we should just stay here and get some practice. I want to help, but... I don't know."
IC: Tuhi nods. “Practice sounds good. I’m still trying to figure out how to hold the Cordak rifle...” He glances at the ground, embarrassed. “Yeah, I should probably stay home for this one...what are you going to be doing?”
IC: "I'll be practicing with this," she says, tapping her new Mask of Healing. "I asked around, and Lync introduced me to a healer friend of hers. Everyone says you need to understand the wounds to use the mask properly, sooo he'll be showing me the ropes, I guess." She shrugs.

IC: Above the Vagabond, Toa Bhadra pushes off the ladder and catches himself with his elemental powers. He floats alongside Konan as he climbs.

IC: Tuhi looks at the mask. “Wow! That’s actually really cool! Especially since we don’t have a healer,” Tuhi looks off to the side like something just occurred to him. “Why don’t we have a healer?” He mutters mostly to himself.

IC: Sansod looks at Pheore for an answer to the Kane-Ra question.
As he climbed up the ladder, seeing where the top end or where he assumed it ended th soldier ignored the power of the Toa. It didn't matter to him how his "guide" led him on but it looked as if said "guide" was floating alongside the soldier. It was an annoying matter, one that might, might be solved once he reaches his destination. And how close it was.

The ladder ends at a platform at the top of the tower. Splitting the station down the middle is the chute. A Matori with a glow stone is signaling when people can get on by raising and lowering it. Bhadra lands next to Konan. “We’re just in time, they’re shifting the flow to take us to the Temple of Light. Wait at the edge of the chute.” There seem to be a few Toa teams lined up along the length of the chute, but there’s still room for the Vagabond and his escort. Bhadra stands next to one of the Toa on the far end, striking up a conversation.
