(Setting) Flooded District
| > The only environmental obstacles for this crew are the surrounding buildings, close enough for people to hop across, some leaning against others. And the water. Being so deep, Mech's wade through it at Hip level. The ship rests on two of it's working thrusters, keeping it from touching the ground completely. However, they work fast as the more they stop, the more fuel is burnt.
| > Two men sit quietly, awaiting orders inside one of the tilted towers. They've been sent to find any technology left over and set up a field perimeter to make sure they have control over any sort of conflict, Silbuck, sits quietly on an overturned desk, his job clear with an orange jumpsuit with the black strips on the legs and arms. The Engineer yawns and looks to his partner, a Pilot, whose set in a futuristic soldier's look, completed with helmet, stands guard silently.
| "Any signal yet?"
> Noah, the guard speaks back, drawing his rifle. It shares the aesthetic design of a SCAR-H, however functions like an AUG. It remains unmarked, and therefore unknown as he uses the scope to look farther out into the city.
"Nope, nothing. Ship isn't a click out, and we've still got nothing."
| "They're taking their time. Captain Murkle's still a bit agitated with our current.. Eh, situation. I doubt they want to even begin wasting time trying to keep ourselves defended."
> He, looks off the ledge before sitting down, dangling his feet and relaxing on duty. David yawns and continues staring at the grey walls around him.
"Alright, five minutes tops and we're gone. I'm tired of sitting here, we've been doing it all morning."
| > Noah nods, returning quiet again. His mind, never really on a certain 'thing', it just wonders, and he's not even sure about what's being thought. In the end his thoughts come up nothing, absolutely blank. He reaches for a shard of broken glass, lightly picking it up before tossing it off the building, watching as it falls... falls.. falls.. and finally hits the water below. David looks to him with a small laugh.
"Y'know... I wonder if Inko realizes her pet's missing again."
| > Noah turns around and looks at him, surprise crosses his face under the helmet.
"What? Lev's out again?"
"Yep."
"How? Who let him out? Someone must've."
"Mac said he watched the footage and couldn't bare telling Lieutenant. He just reached out and grabbed the damn lever."
> Noah begins laughing himself, leaning back onto the floor.
| "There's no telling where he's at now."
> The boy manages to push through, catching his breath and retaining some control.
" I can't imagine losing a Spectre in a place like this.. I don't know about this planet, but I'd imagine someone would freak the fuck out. You think there's a chance he'd still be on the ship?"
"Doubt it. Could be enjoying the water as we speak. Hell could've been the cause of that explosion awhile a go, you seen that right?"
| "Yeah, was like a cloud on top of another cloud, was pretty harsh. I wonder what they were hitting.."
> Noah looks to the sky, yawning.
" More so, I wonder why they were hitting whatever it was. What's so bad a planet's gotta shit on itself?"
| "You've seen Y sector, don't start asking that now."
"Yeah, yeah alright.."
> Both men return quiet again, staring off into their own minds. After a few minutes, David stands.
" I think I may know where Lev's went. I'm gonna' head back, tell control and see if I can't find him before Inko notices."
"Yeah. alright.. I'm thinking about asking control to leave post myself. I want to see some of this civilian sector."
| "Alright, take care. Hey, Titan's can be launched off again, go ahead and call yours in sometime to check and see if it needs repairs. I'll go ahead and get it done."
> With that, David starts down the path he took to get up the building, down staircases and across glass windows, hopping from one building to another. He makes his way back to the ship whilst Noah stands quietly, watching the water once more.
"Can't imagine who in their right minds would get a Spectre."
| > The ship remains quiet. An inactive day for most, but noise is rather low leveled, as most construction work is being held under-water.

| > What was once a possible grassland, is now submerged deeply in water and occupied by a large ship marked OSSN. The ship occupants have not only succeeded in keeping people away, but have also successfully began using the buildings around them that are still standing. Other than the soldiers and engineers in the buildings, Large, repair Mechs walk the ground and on the ship, being transported up and down by lifts, to continue repairs that couldn't be done in an airport.
