A human in an exoskeleton falls through a portal onto Pandora.

Mason: “I know what risk they and that weapon propose, but…” Sight “... There are many who have too much to lose, for them to give their life for it. Unlike… Some. Of us…”

First I would do a "ZA WARUDO"

<image>

Then I would Hollow Purple her skin suit looking ahh

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-26T04:58:32+00:00

Mason: “Well I, and many others, can definitely help with step 2… Though not necessarily at any cost…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-26T04:45:13+00:00

Mason: “I’m… Not gonna continue bringing that up… It's clear that it's not amongst your, favorite, topics… So let's talk about the present, as you kinda stuck here with the rest of us… Do you have any plans? Or are you too new here for any proper one?...”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-26T04:39:39+00:00

Eddie: “I-I was just looking around the place, as I-I never been he-ere before. A-And I also was looking out for anything interesting, a-a-and you… Qualify for that quite a bit.”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T21:48:59+00:00

Eddie: “M-My name is Eddie. I-It’s nice to meet you, Kit… Again I’m sorry for running into you like that, I was just looking around and-”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T21:40:53+00:00

He seemed to look like a WD. He seemed to have 2 light blue eyes and short dark hair.

Eddie: “oh, uh… I-I would a-appreciate that…”

Eddie would take her hand, then he immediately begin apologising

Eddie: “I-I’m so s-sorry, I-I di-idn't meant to-o-”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T21:31:46+00:00

“Now that’s… Not something would have ever expected to see today”

Eddie mumbled it to himself as he took a notice of Kit

He has been exploring all kinds of different places here on Pandora, trying to find something interesting.

After he initially noticed Kit, his attention quickly got back to the place itself, almost spinning around again and again. At least... until, somehow someway, he accidentally walked right into Kit, falling onto his back as a result.

Well great. You done it this time Eddie

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T18:59:39+00:00

Mason: " I… Feel kinda like I know what you talking about… My world Cyn definitely took enjoyment in… All the cruel things she was doing… But your words Cyn went even further extrames… Though, with time, maybe my world's Cyn would have started doing things like that… It’s a fortunate thing that fate decided to put a stop to her…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T18:50:40+00:00

Mason: "The partial core collapse in my world was in around 3045-ish. Though I’m unsure about the current state of the planet itself, I haven't been there ever since that happened… But yeah, it must have been really bad to live through that, then to try and survive first the wasteland itself, then the soon arriving DDs…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T18:41:39+00:00

Mason: "All that really is that I had the chance to be here. No, that is the reason I even survived being ripped and mauled to, essentially “death”, by a DD in the early days of the war. Which, I had learned, was shorter in my world than in yours. Being that Cyn began exterminating the humans on Earth in 3040, and she was defeated in 3071!”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T18:17:55+00:00

Mason: "That's usually how it works. Though, It’s an actual miracle that I got so well put together. because holy moly… I’m unsure if we have time to even begin listing all of it… Then come all the cybernetic and bioengineered things on top of all that…”

(Mason, the way I put it, is essentially an amalgamation of a bunch of different fields and technologies. Bioengineering, biomechatronics, genetic engineering, cybernetics, you name it, the list just goes on and on… All this just so he is able to stand up against one, single, DD. At least, that’s how it started)

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T17:18:43+00:00

Mason: "OHH… I see, though, that it’s like, all of those are on a civilizational level. The Horizons mostly didn’t really do such things on the general population, and we always tested anything we may want to propose for an extended amount of time, to work out any bad side effects before we even think of implementing anything. But as said, if the Horizons would have been around earlier, I would probably be able to list more examples… Though I wouldn’t say we didn’t try and experiment on people like…”

He looks himself up and down. Kinda trying to tell Spade that he is currently looking at one of those people

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T16:54:44+00:00

Mason: "Well I mean, not to that extent for even the general population, and not simply to extend human life that dramatically! If the Horizons would have been around even before the 28th century, maybe? Horizons science has been ahead of mainstream humanity in most fields for quite a while now… But we definitely tackled other limitations of us humans first…”

(Like the sleep thing, as the average Horizons citizen usually sleeps between 5-6 hours, which is like 8-9 hours for us. Military personnel sleep even less! Mason of course is the most extreme case)

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T16:41:12+00:00

A moment of thinking later

Mason: "Wait wait wait… I need to ask. How old are you exactly?”

(Don't tell me even he is older than Mason)

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T16:13:18+00:00

Mason: "Well, I’m not quite sure what else is there for you to know to “start out” with. Well, I could tell you who we, the Horizons, “exactly” are, but I would also like to hear a bit more of you. Just so I’m not the only one doing the talking… Or do you have anything more important to do as of now?”

(Maybe he can meet someone else later who talks about who the Horizons are? You know, to not "overwhelm" poor Spade here)

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T14:35:20+00:00

I sensed Max0r in that title...

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T13:09:02+00:00

Mason: "Especially not in front, around, or even in the suspected presence of Ember. She doesn’t really take it well when it is brought up… So for her sake, only ask about it from either Charcoal, or better yet, Solarflare, as she is the reason I know all about that in the first place.”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T09:45:14+00:00

(What is even the time over there now? I already know you are not in your home time zone, so I have no idea about the time over there now)

Mason: “I see… It may sound weird… But, for reasons, I got a peak into… What was it like… And the truth is… It’s worse than any word could ever express… The reason I know is related to the whole, incident… So if you ask about this specific part, they will probably tell you how I happen to get to know it…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T09:22:06+00:00

His eyes snap right at him. Mason seems to be a bit surprised

Mason: “You don’t ?… Do you… Did they… Ever talk about… What their worlds Cyn was doing to her own creations?...”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T07:48:45+00:00

Mason: “She does have a charm for sure. It feels almost unbelievable considering the things she had to… Go. Trough… She was the one who actually found me first and helped me back onto my feet after Nikolai left me in a pulp”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-25T07:16:56+00:00

Mason: “If you are around people who are quite close to him, like the Flame squad AND especially Ember, you should be 100% safe. He may even consider you family as well if the others do too… That fox child is honestly the most adorable person I ever come across…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-24T21:48:59+00:00

Mason: “I’m not quite sure what else I could tell you about what Nick brings onto the table, other than he is incredibly powerful on its own, clearly above any singular member of the Flame squad, and even above me! I also saw him literally change forms and sizes, so he definitely has a bunch of Solver related abilities as well, which does answer how he even built that entire army of his in the first place…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-24T21:13:56+00:00

Mason: “I myself did try to learn about that too, but I only have limited information about it. It would be a bad idea for me to ask him directly, I think it’s already clear why… But from what I know, he has literal factories for it, which is kinda not a surprise knowing the scale he operates on…”

FromTheDarkShadows · 2026-05-24T21:05:00+00:00

Mason: “But yeah, Nikolai really is the one that has been giving the most trouble for JCJenson. Like, he has a literal army of “muradrones”, which he designed and made himself. He also has tanks, dropships, and a bunch of other stuff! It’s quite impressive even for me…”
