Samus needed a distraction. There had been a lot of talk about the Nightmare King lately, but no action as far as she could see. Even she was at a loss for what could be done. Nightmares were a inevitable part of her life, but they had become noticeably more striking recently. She wasn't exactly in a position to act, though. She had no magical ( Read more... )

Samus was well aware that someone had joined her, but couldn't be bothered to take note of them right away. She was too focused on her current task to care, anyway. It wasn't until Nova spoke that Samus glanced up from her work, her eyes meeting with the other woman's. She recognized her immediately, but wasn't quite sure what to expect now that Nova was sober.

"I am," she answered with a curt nod, and since there was no reason in being impolite, she asked curiously, "Your gun?"

Nova wasn't all too bothered by that. Samus had seen her because she'd let herself be seen. It wasn't in her nature to sneak up on potentially dangerous people. Besides, there was no reason to. When Samus looked up from her work, Nova couldn't help the small smirk that curled across her lips. It seemed like her estimation of the hunter had been right on the money.

"So it separate from you after all then." She remarked offhandedly. It hadn't seemed that way at the bar. "Mm. One of them. It hasn't seen much use so I'm ensuring it's still in working order."

"Sort of hard to do maintenance on something that's attached to you all of the time," her eyes were already back down on her work. She could afford to devote a little attention to chatter, but she had to remember why she was here in the first place. She wasn't being intentionally unfriendly; she was just busy.

Engineering! Just where Lash was headed to. The nightmares had kept her awake more so than usual and she needed to tamper with tools to change her thoughts. She was not expecting Samus to be there, but her eyes lit up when she saw the scene. The girl just kept looking from the amazonian woman back to the suit of armor back and forth before the speech finally found her.

"So you're the person inside that suit? It's got a really interesting design! Well for something I didn't invent, anyway."

Samus glanced up from her work and immediately wondered why a giant mass of hair was talking to her She stared straight down at the (rather odd) girl, and quirked her eyebrow slightly as Lash finished talking.

"Don't think we've met."

"Nope! Name's Lash!" She gave her a quick, small army salute (force of habit, you see) before she went close to the other woman and peered at the armor a bit closer. "That's a fine piece of exoskeleton suit you've got there." She was prideful, but Lash could compliment someone else's work when she deemed them worthy. And this lady look like she could kill a glare. The afro girl could respect that.

"Comes in handy," Samus gave her armor an almost affectionate pat.

Lash seemed mostly harmless, but she was still eying her a bit carefully. This armor was her baby important, and she tended to be suspicious of random newcomers trying to sneak a peak at its inner workings.

"It took me a bit to understand what was different about it," Gray Voice said as he strode up behind Samus, forgoing greetings as he had a habit to. "But I finally realized - this isn't the suit you left with." It was more of a statement than a question. "Only something you could've discovered by yourself."

His eyes fell from the suit down to Samus herself. His silence would've indicated that he'd finished speaking before he (somewhat hastily) added, "Quite impressive."

"I can't quite take any credit," Samus was not startled by Gray Voice's visitation. She shrugged without looking up from her work. "I just had to discover what was left for me."

She placed down the precision tool she was using and turned to him, "I suppose I just thought it was expected of me."

"We had a feeling that someday you would need more than what you were capable of mastering when you left."

As she looked to him, he returned the gesture. "...tell me, how long has it been?" He asked. "Since you left Zebes?"

She thought for a moment. The years had bled together since she had left her home, and being on Stacy for so long had made it even harder to keep track of time.

"About fifteen years, I believe," It was her best estimate. She added, "I did go back. Only a couple of times, though."
