Once Gaige had plucked the strange man out of the earth and booked it for the inside of the ranch, she managed to sprint right by another woman. This other girl was dressed interestingly, for sure. She looked like she had stepped right out from one of those fantasy ECHO books that Gaige's dad used to play for her when she was growing up (though she quickly lost interest in them in favor of the scientific non-fiction ECHO books). With green hair, a red dress, pink waist sash, and all manner of colorful beads, Gaige couldn't help but stop when the girl called out to her, saying that the skeletons don't step foot onto the ranch. 

Skidding to a stop, Gaige turned back around and approached the other woman, who looked prepared for a fight, but otherwise harmless and hesitant. [i][color=royalblue]Good thing I'm here.[/color][/i] Gaige thought to herself, [i][color=royalblue]Krieg or Salvador wouldn't waste a second in taking this as a threat. Even Zer0 might start something just to see if she'd be a challenge. Pfft, what are you thinking, Gaige? Those three never would have run away from the skeletons! Duuuuh![/color][/i] She sauntered right on up to Terra, hands on her hips and not the least bit winded from her run. [color=royalblue]"Hiya! The name is Gaige. Glad to meet ya, and even gladder that your ranch wards off those things! So how do you accomplish it? An underground network of wires that power beacons projecting radio waves at the vibrational frequency matching sufficiently degraded calcium phosphate?"[/color]

The young mechanical genius didn't get much of a chance to continue her conversation with the other woman. At that point she had noticed two other figures appearing on her ECHO heads up display. One seemed to be deeper into the ranch and slowly working its way toward the, but the other made his presence known immediately. The man completely defied all laws of physics by somehow jumping while still in the air, adding a little flip for flair, then running up to them [i]very fast.[/i] The man spoke quickly too, introducing himself as Scout. Another thing he was quick to do was flirt with Gaige and the other woman, but the young mechanic hardly even took notice. Even as the especially flamboyant and hammy Hildibrand made his introduction, Gaige could only focus on one thing. She quickly closed the gap between herself and Scout, deeply invading his personal space by examining his body head to toe, front to back, all while speaking at a million miles an hours.

[color=royalblue]"Oh my god how did you propel yourself in the middle of the air, I mean theoretically you could have used an O2 OZ kit but clearly you're not wearing one and besides those only work in an atmosphere denser than oxygen and this clearly is a normal atmosphere plus gravity isn't all out of whack so that's normal too, so how did you pull that off I mean are your shoes special, do they have hidden anti-grav propulsers, are you a cyborg OH MY GOD if you're a cyborg then we should totally be besties and we can exchange all of our technological specs oh that would be so cool so what about this bat, does it do anything special because it doesn't feel special but looks can be deceiving, since you know a lot of people see me and just think 'oh she's just a teenage girl' but I'm [i]clearly[/i] a mature and sophisticated young woman of great intellect as you can see by my arm which I built all by myself single handedly and I actually mean that literally because I only had one hand at the time, hence the need to build a replacement arm."[/color]

Gaige stood back, finally breathing, and glanced out toward the ranch where the other individual was moving toward them. He was a large man, very large in fact, with a yellow mohawk looking like some kind of punk. In other words, he looked like a bandit. Buuuut you can never be sure until they start shooting at you. Still, better safe than sorry, right? Gaige digistructed her TORGUE shotgun, the weapon materializing in her hands in a pulse of blue 1s and 0s, and pointed it in the general direction of Birdie. It was then that she noted that her ECHO HUD hadn't marked the large, punk brutish looking man as a hostile. Realizing her mistake, and musing over how the ECHO net always seemed to know the difference, she lowered her gun but kept it at the ready. [color=royalblue]"So uh, any of you guys happen to know just where on Pandora are we?"[/color]
