"Welcome Operator! Is that a-- MUST WE TRAVEL AGAIN SO SOON?! Another navigation segment? You're just fresh from your last battle! Which planet are they sending you to this time?"

You shrug your shoulders. The Guard have told you nothing. Your ship has no seats, so you sit cross-legged on the floor in a meditation pose. Your mind stays relaxed during the journey to--

"Operator, the coordinates have sent us directly to an enemy ship! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! Worst of all, the ship seems to have been set ablaze and de-stabilized! I will do my best to deploy your frame in a stable area. Please return safe and sound."

'''The ship has an eerie feeling to it, as if something dark and ominous watches over it. Your frame, Chroma, shudders during deployment, as if it has been slightly knocked. Unusual. You saw no obstructions between your craft and the destination ship. You shrug it off. The landing is otherwise uneventful.

'''After a few steps around the burning ship, with the pole-arm Orthos Prime at hand, you decide to swap to a long range rifle. But something will not let you. Once again you try to switch weapons, this time to your pistol. The weapon fails to materialize.

'''Something is not right. You can't summon either of your guns. You think back to the bumps in Chroma's travel. A barrier must be in effect here and it's messing with your weapons.'''

'''With no other option, you continue your exploration with Orthos Prime, and one thing quickly becomes apparent: this ship is infested. Black puddles have stretched and oozed and dripped all over the once clean halls. The mass, whatever it is, looks squishy in some light, sharp and hard in others; common sense has prevented you from touching the muck to figure out which consistency is true. Almost nothing in this section survived the rapid spread of the mutating mass.'''

Roooaar...

'The broken groan is the only thing that alerts you to the massive bulk of flesh and fused jumble of parts -- lord, were those once human'' parts? -- that is suddenly coming your way. You can barely make sense of the odd creature running at you. The atrocity runs at an alarming speed, contradictory to its bumbling, haphazard appearance. It swiftly avoids most of the crumbling ship's fire, but the few flames that do make contact cause the creature to shriek from the heat.'''

There's no time to plan, you have to defend yourself. Will you cast your armor or call your pelt into combat?

Votes for Vex Armor

 * 1) I think attacking something that you might not understand is a bad idea. 09:13, August 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm with Aixon. Maybe it's scared? 07:42, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Votes for Effigy

 * 1) I know we're at war and all but eww, do you really want hard skin? 14:22, August 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Alright, I've always been more of an attack than a defense person, anyway. 04:44, August 10, 2016 (UTC)

I've kind of been lagging on this vote cause I'm not sure what to do. If we decide to stand ground, what if the thing is super strong or somehow connected to the infestation thing and we get diseased or hurt? On the other hand, an attack is risky when we know little of the creature's weaknesses/strengths, but at least we know it is susceptible to fire, and if one of the elements the dragon uses is fire, then it could be effective. What should I do? 04:20, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Oh it certainly IS connected to the infestation but your frame is just an exo-skeletal suit so you won't really get any sort of disease that would really ruin your entire fight, I'm not so mean (yet). I won't confirm nor deny the weakness to fire and I cannot say anything yet about Chroma's element but think of the effigy as some sort of help. All elements will do damage regardless of things, how much being the only thing that's affected so there's no real "loss" by using the effigy. Vex armor on the other hand will let you tank part of the damage it might deal for you to learn about your opponent and in the process end up buffing a bit your damage. Both work, you all just have to figure out which makes more sense for me to use. Anyways, those are my two cents and I'm in no way influencing votes towards either option, just clearing up things as a casual player :) 04:30, August 7, 2016 (UTC)
