Warframe: The Strife of Clan Prowler

That's fine by me. I'm wanting one more post from anybody before I make my next one.

Ya sure. It'd be nice to get an idea of the Kubrow. :)

Warframe: The Strife of Clan Prowler

Samsara had to pass through the gardens to get to her quarters. It felt nostalgic to her, walking through those gardens under Shinto's tutelage. The gardens were a sort of hub point for the Prowlers, it was where most tenno meditated or practiced their technique. Some were training as Samsara passed, she gave a nod of respect to those who regarded her. Despite travelling through the relaxing and nostalgic gardens, Samsara was still angered by Kuro. Her soft expression couldn't hide it in her purple eyes or her agile pace. To her, Kuro was a coward, needing an honor guard to protect him and wanting to thin the ranks loyal to the Lotus before striking her at the heart. To Samsara, and the late Shinto, fighting impossible odds was the only way to fight for a good reason.

Samsara gritted her teeth, that despicable Kuro... She and Kuro were both a part of the great Clan Prowler during the Orokin era before being put into cryosleep. Kuro had been reawakened months before herself, retrained by Shinto first and as such, was slated to be his successor. She knew that Shinto didn't want it that way, but those were the rules of succession. "Pompous bastard..." she growled quietly to herself, so none of the tenno practicing around her could hear.

She was about to leave the gardens when she was stopped. The raven haired woman looked over her shoulder as her name was called, she spotted Jenus. Taking in a breath and letting it out slowly to relax herself, she turned to face him. "Hello, Jenus. How has the dojo been treating you these past couple weeks?" her voice seemed calm, but her eyes still had that flare of frustration in them. Samsara studied him for a moment, "Been working on your form, I see." she looked to him kamas.

Samsara was about to continue, but saw one of the tenno enter the garden through the same doorway she had. He was an Excalibur, the one she had struck and embarrassed in front of Kuro, one of his honor guard. He was looking right at her, and judging by his stance as he walked in her direction, he was coming to get even. Samsara narrowed her eyes, "One step closer, Naga. See what happens." her bracelet started to channel energy, in case she needed to call upon her warframe.

She kept her eyes on the honor guard as he stopped and looked back at her. He drew his Cronus and slowly started to work on his own technique, knowing full well what would have happened if he made an attempt of getting back at Samsara at that moment. Her bracelet's glow diminished, and a small smirk curled the corners of her lips. "Now then." she looked back to Jenus, "Let's go elsewhere."

With that, she left the gardens with Jenus, "How long has it been now? Since you were last contracted?" she asked, looking to him as they passed through the dojo halls, "We're going to be busy in the next little while..."

That's a shame, Roman. But I understand. Thanks for showing the interest.

On another note, I'll put a post up for you all after work today. Around 7pm PST. :)

IC up! Looking forward to see your intro posts!

Warframe: The Strife of Clan Prowler

Samsara sat on her knees as she looked out of the cockpit of her liset. Among the stars and asteroids, floated the dojo of Moon Clan Prowler. She was not in her warframe, just in some silks that fit her loosely and comfortably. Her shoulder length hair was tied back in a pony tail and was slightly damp, she had taken a shower not long before.

A scream resonated through her ship. It broke Samsara from her thoughts. She looked over her shoulder toward the ramp that led down to her armory and personal quarters. Samsara stood up, "Athena..." she said calmly.

"Yes, Operator?" the liset's cephalon replied, a female voice.

"I thought I told you to have him sedated until we brought him aboard the dojo." Samsara walked toward the ramp, walking down it as it lowered. She laid eyes on the man who was screaming, a corpus man. He was bound and confined in a converted stasis chamber where kubrows were usually kept. She approached the man, he looked at Samsara with fear.

"Apologies, Operator. But we did not have enough sedative aboard to make the entire voyage. I didn't think it would have been a bother to let you know, you do have much more pressing matters on your mind."[i] Athena responded.

Samsara shrugged, "Well I suppose we're close enough for me to not make a big deal of it." she raised her left hand, a tenno bracelet around her wrist. With the flick of her finger, a holographic screen of the ship's supply appeared in front of her. She was low on nearly everything, it had been a long trip. She dismissed the screen and looked at her captive. "So. Have a nice sleep?" she crossed her arms.

The corpus looked at her with a pleading expression. [i]"I know you tenno use credits like the rest of us chums! I promise, if you let me go I'll give you all the credits you've ever wanted!"

Samsara sighed, "My funding comes from my clan, corpus. I didn't capture you for money." her bracelet started to glow as energy began to channel across her body. Samsara's Ash warframe began materializing and forming around her body, it started at the chest and formed around her arms and legs. She chose not to bother with the helmet. Samsara's glaive materialized with her warframe, it slide from her wrist and extended its blades in her hand. She put one of the blades to his throat.

"Operator, this man is needed alive by Master Kuro. It would not be wise to kill or otherwise harm him." Athena advised.

Samsara kept the blade at his throat while she studied him. "I don't care about Master Kuro. He brought our clan into open conflict with the rest of the tenno, he didn't adhere to our late Master Shinto's demands. Kuro will get this man back with many injuries before we dock with the dojo. How soon is that, Athena?"

"Two minutes, Operator."

"More than enough time." Samsara said as she dragged the glaive from his neck, grazing the skin, down to his chest. The sharp blade cutting into him a bit as she passes the collarbone.

The corpus cried out in pain, "Ahh, please! I thought you tenno were honorable!"

"We are. But only to honorable enemies. Now... Where is he..." she pressed the blade into his stomach, an inch of the metal sinking into him.

The liset landed in the dock and a group of non-tenno dockworkers loyal to Clan Prowler ran to meet up with Samsara and her valuable cargo. The rarely used footramp of the liset lowered with Samsara in her ornate Ash warframe standing at the top. Behind her, was the corpus man on his knees with non fatal cuts on nearly every part of his body. Master Kuro, clad in his Excalibur Prime warframe and flanked by his honor guard of six other Excaliburs approached Samsara's liset after the dockworkers secured the severely injured corpus man. Samsara bowed her head to the new master, somebody she was not overly fond of. "Sirius is captured and the contract is complete, master." she debriefed.

Master Kuro studied the bloodied man. "What good is this man for interrogation when he can barely even stay upright? What did you do to him, Samsara?"

She dematerialized her helmet to look at him in person, a seemingly innocent smile took her expression. "I didn't do a thing. Athena, explain how our captive got these injuries."

There was an awkward pause while they waited for Athena to respond. "Sirius had fallen into a kubrow den in an attempt to run away from Samsara."

Samsara grinned, "Kubrows. Nasty creatures."

"In Pluto's sector..." Kuro replied, unconvinced.

Before Samsara could reply, Athena chimed in, "The Corpus -were- performing genetic experiments on kubrows aboard the ship Sirius was on, Master Kuro. They needed proper breeding grounds for a sustainable supply of kubrows."

Samsara loved Athena. The cephalon always had her back even in tense moments with the clan master. Kuro studied the blade injuries and rolled his eyes, "Interesting kubrows..." motioned for two of his honor guard to escort the prisoner to the holding cells. Kuro looked back at Samsara, "I don't care about what sort of personal crusade Shinto allowed you to carry out, it ends now. You're of more use to me in the war room to plan our next strike on Clan Tempest."

"Tempest? Clan Tempest? That Storm Clan in the Kuiper Belt? How will destroying them bring us any closer to the Lotus? We should be focusing on the void! Or in direlict ships! Master Shinto didn't attack other tenno clans simply because they follow the Lotus. They're being manipulated by her just as much as we once wer-" she was cut off.

"I am the clan master now. Shinto was an old dog who thought he could fight the Lotus despite her having all of the clans under her influence. We need to thin the ranks before we even consider finding out where she is."

Samsara growled and balled a fist, "How dare you disrespect him in such a way!" She swung, only to have her wrist taken by one of Kuro's honor guard, the master remained perfectly still. She glared at the helmeted tenno and instead sent her other fist at him, sending him reeling back and landing on his back. Samsara walked off to her quarters in the dojo. She heard Kuro yell to her.

"War room, four hours from now. I expect you there, Samsara."

Her Ash dematerialized into her bracelet as she walked off, taking in the information as she left. Right now, it was time to meditate and vent.
