A few days later, on another ship that's lost power, "Taylor."

"A little busy here Anet."

"How do I reload my pistols?"

"Oh for crying out loud, vent the remains of the previous clip and add the new clip."

"How do I do that."

"What happened to your bow?"

"I ran out of arrows."

"There's some right there, just pick them up."

"Where?"

"For the love of god, have you turned your overlay off again? Wait, don't answer that, just get your Chassis to fix it. It can look up the spe... Yikes!"

"Oh, hey that worked, thanks Taylor."

"Why do you keep turning it off?"

"It's distracting, it's hard enough operating with only 4 senses without it."

"Right, new plan. Once we've finished here, you're running Mars solo until you've got the hang of everything. While you're doing that I'll use Cy to get me to the Red veil again."

"Operator, Ordis thinks you may be making a mistake."

"Ordis, who would you trust Anet to at the moment, yourself who guided me through my early days, or Cy?"

"Ordis thinks you may be right."

"I've got it! I've reloaded my pistols."

"No need to sound so happy about it, just start killing again."

"Hey!"

"Oh, there's Rell's Donda. I'm going to grab it, keep an eye out as he was very possessive about it...

"Oh void, I was right. Anet!"

"Bit busy over here!"

"Disengage and head for the exit, I've put this one down 5 times already."

"How?"

"Anet, did you ever run the simulations you put us through?"

"Of course I did."

"As a Warframe?"

"What? No."

"That explains so much. When I drop your one, turn and run, you'll only have a couple of seconds."

"Got it, thanks, Ow!"

"Right, new new plan, you're going through the simulations first, then you're doing Mars. Run faster!"

"I'm running as fast, Wooah."

"I've got you, get back on your feet and run, I'll be right behind you. Ordis, I hope you're ready, as we're coming in hot."

"Ordis is concerned about the Operators wellbeing, as she doesn't seem to be on fire."

"Ordis, it's an expression. 30 seconds."

"Anet, you go first. Backwards not forwards, argh! Ordis tell me she's alright."

"The Lotus is just extricating herself from the exfil port."

"Ordis, a little quicker please."

"One moment Operator, The Lotus has her foot stuck."

"Really? I'm getting a little too busy here. I would really appreciate it if you could hurry the f'ngh up."

"Taylor, I'm going as fast as I can!"

"Well slow down and think about it then, it will be quicker."

"How does that make sense? Oh hey it worked!"
