Pox looks down at him for a second before looking around them.
"I don't think this is the Ishtar sinks. We must be somewhere else on Venus."

"I'm not familiar with this area," Chase said. Blake just lie on the ground.
-
"I'd say we're in the Eros mountain range. About two hundred miles from Ishtar."
-
"Eros Mountains? Never heard," JJ said. "Blake, get up," Chase said, nudging him. The Titan was snoring in his helmet.
-
"It's a less known area." She shrugs.
-
"I do believe Eros is the Greek name for Cupid, so don't be surprised if you fall for someone while you're here, James," Delphi comments. He blushes under his helmet.
-
Pox laughs and draws a sidearm. "Anyone have a ship?"
-
"We all do. But Blake can't pilot his because he's asleep. He'll ride with me," Chase said. "You may ride with me, Jamie," JJ said, trying not to stutter.

Edited by Cannon011: 4/4/2017 1:41:46 AM"Ok. And call me Pox. Only my friends call me Jamie." She replies.
-
"Alright, then, Pox," JJ said, "You either ride with Chase in his cramped New Monarchy ship, or me in my roomy Seraphim Toaster."
-
"I'll go with you." She nods towards JJ.
-
Delphi transmatted the two of them into JJ's ship.
-
Pox takes a seat, glancing around.
-
"You sound like you've had it tough," JJ tells her, "What's your story?"
-
"Not much to tell. Got found about a century back by Andal Brask, before he became the Vanguard. Had a nice fireteam. They died. Ended up here." She replies nonchalantly.
-
"Eight years ago, Delphi resseruct me literally right next to Flame and Puma as they ressurruction their Guardians. My fate was tied with Blake and Chase from the beginning. A Warlock had watched us come back from death. You might know her, her name is Sarah. We've been everywhere. Blake, Chase, and I... we're a fireteam."
-
Pox nods, her expression unreadable under the helmet. "You're lucky to have them."
-
"There's things a simple as that you can take for granted. I know many people who've lost their team. The stupidest reason I've heard someone lose their fireteam was because of love. It was all a hilarious love triangle until one of them became a third wheel. Ironically, it's the third wheel that keeps the memory of his team alive. The former lovers hate each other, so that's what tore the team apart."
-
Pox shakes her head slightly. "A fireteam getting destroyed because of a love triangle? That's got to be the saddest thing I've ever heard. Is your timeline just less professional than mine then?"
-
"Luckily, that's the only time it's happened. But to be honest, I feel sorry for the guy who wound up the third wheel. He always had feelings for her, but he never had the guts-- nuts and bolts, rather, since he was an Exo-- to tell her how he felt. It wasn't exactly a love triangle the entire time, anyway. What really tired them apart is when the Warlock fell for that Titan."
-
"You see, normally when that kind of thing starts to happen in my universe, someone ends up requesting a transfer to another team." Pox replies.
-
"Well, the Hunter didn’t have time to do that... within two months, the Titan was dead. Went on a suicide mission to the Black Garden. Solo. Didn't come back."
-
"That sucks."
-
"Wow... surprising that you're not suspicious. Wait a minute, you weren't paying attention, we're you?"
-
"Suspicious to what? And yes, I did pay attention." She replies.
-
"I said the Warlock and the Titan hate each other, as if I'm saying that Titan was still alive, and you don't bat an eye. Wow."
