A sparrow flies over a hill in the Earth terrain as Cecelia zooms toward the center of the half-dozen Fallen. Throwing a knife at one's face, it quickly falls dead as she pops a cap from her handcannon into the nearest face she found, while tossing her swarm grenade behind her to do some damage. She turned around to the weakened three: two of the "grunts of the litter" as Einstein so eloquently calls them, and one humanoid bug. Well, it has 6 limbs. She dashes in to stab one grunty in the face, whips around to shoot the other's face, and is left with one Fallen.
"Einstein. Music?" The Awoken thrill-seeker requests. "I thought you'd never ask, Princess." And with that, heavy metal instrumental music starts jamming in Cecelia's helmet as she pulls out her knife to face the Fallen. Making it interesting. "Hey, any challenge?" The Awoken smirks from in her helmet as bug-boy roars at her. "Yeah, only stabs to the back." Her helmet responded over the music. "Easy," is all Cecelia said as she rushed in. The Fallen had just charged a shot, but couldn't pull the trigger before before Cecelia knocked it aside, spun until she was back-to-back with it and stabbed in the small of the back. If you can call it that.
Rolling away, the Fallen decides to try it again. They never learn, do they? Cecelia dashes at it, this time tossing her knife up in the air. She punches it in the face before it can shoot, because energy weapons need charge time, flipped over it, catching her blade after landing a little shakily, then getting in two more stabs before it turned to face her again.
With a smirk, Cecelia says "let's dance, partner." She grabbed the arm holding the gun, put it out as if to do the tango, and carved its back with her knife using her knife hand. It finally falling to the floor, Cecelia brags to her Ghost "hey, never said I needed to be behind him to make backstabs. Chalk another one up for me on the challenges, Einstein." The Ghost sighs and agrees, adding one to Cecelia's count. "Way to go, Princess. Find the loopholes." "Hey, that was fair and square. It was a stab to his back."
Einstein bleeped, getting a message, and played it internally, giving Cecelia the gist: "Some 'Aaron the Ranger' is supposedly in Scandenavia and we're chosen to investigate. Speaker's orders." Cecelia sighs. "A fetch mission? Really? This is gonna be boring, but it pays well, so let's go. Meeting at the Tower first." And with that, Cecelia and Einstein headed off to the Tower.
