Destiny: The Black Hole of Calcutta - Part 1 - A Crazy Plan
"Remind me again why we came to Calcutta?" Rega-7 demanded as she hunkered behind the overturned cargo truck. Plasma rounds splashed off the rusted hulk as the Walker's rotary cannon fired. Eliksni chatter barked around them, and she ducked lower as Shock rounds spiraled over her head.
"Unknown energy signal was detected here," Wahei's tone was bright, heedless of the Walker's rotary cannon swiveling in her direction. As plasma chewed through the ceramacrete K-rail, she Blinked to another piece of cover, a similarly rusted hulk of an air-car. "And there's a lot of artifacts to be found here. Master Rahool and Ikora are both eager to get anything we can recover here. Two behind you," she added, as an afterthought.
Rega swiveled around and raised her hand cannon, snapping off two quick shots, and two Dregs fell back. "Did either of them mention that Fallen are swarming all over the damned place?" She flung an incendiary grenade into the hole after them, and heard howling from within before flames shot out along with the whump of the explosion.
Wahei tilted her head, and Rega knew the Awoken's lips were pursing in thought behind her helmet. Please don't get distracted by the language, the Hunter thought to herself, and sure enough, Wahei's tone was thoughtful. "Do Eliksni swarm, per se? The ruins of Calcutta are, indeed, teeming with them, but swarming is a verb better suited to describe the Hive--"
"Not the time, Wahei!" Rega shouted as her Hawkmoon barked three more times.
