And so the situation devolved from what the Mega Man had thought was going to be a reasonable discussion into a tirade of insults, semi-robotic litany from their resident soldier and the Boss revealing the real reason he wasn't wanting any one go. [color=OrangeRed][i]Of all the foolish, ignoble, ignorant reasons to not send someone...[/i][/color] But before he could shoot off a retort to both their leader's and the soldier's reasons for disagreement, Azura let the pair have it, making clear her issues with them without saying it straight to them. If Vent had gone off first, he was almost positive the first words out of his mouth would have been to call the Boss a fool and an idiot and Ruben a brainless robot with no idea how to think for himself. However, Azura's tirade gave him a second to breath and calm himself down before speaking, not to mention admire her speaking skills.

[color=OrangeRed][i]Well done wordplay. I like it, though...[/i][/color] And then he realized what the Boss had said, completely disregarding the explanation that Vent had given upon arrival, and his temper flared up again. [color=OrangeRed][i]Wait a minute, did he call me a robot?[/i][/color] Vent's normally calm demeanor began to crack as he turned to face the Boss, his teeth grinding. [color=OrangeRed]"I am not a robot, I am a human who essentially wears a robotic exoskeleton when megamerged. As it stands, we know absolutely NOTHING about these Greybeards anymore than we do the area around us or Markarth, so for all we know, they may very well be able to make us fail this mission if we ignore them. From what I remember of the fantasy novels I read when I wasn't running deliveries for Giro was that people with magic can do a great number of things, such as lightning in a clear sky to strike down their foes, a raging inferno started from nothing."[/color] His eyes remained hard as he continued, waving his arm around them to indicate the area they were standing in. [color=OrangeRed]And many of them could do it from great distances, with virtually no line of sight. Are you REALLY willing to risk it all to ignore someone even our contact indicated we shouldn't ignore?"[/color]

Then he turned to Ruben and opened his mouth before stopping and then sighing, shaking his head. [color=OrangeRed]"I'm not even sure I want to bother with you. All you see is what you're told to see, and that's both sad and pathetic. Open your eyes and your mind before you find yourself 'ordered' into a bad position, one you can't get out of."[/color] He turned to follow the Stormcloaks and looked at the others. [color=OrangeRed]"Regardless, we'd best catch up to Ulfric before he wonders what's going on and comes back to stick his nose in a fight best kept amongst ourselves."[/color] He then turned and resumed his walk, keeping a watchful eye on the area around the group leading to the fort for more of those Forsaken, and with every intent to secure and destroy the weapons they were wielding in the future in order to preserve this place's natural flow. A jump in technology that great would potentially destabilize the entire universe.
