Setting
Calidona, the western continent of Misrana, is the known place for the inhabitants of the Supremacy. Its power and influence reaches across all four continents - including its own - but it comes with the cost of rising conflict. The Supremacy isn't to worry, however, being that Calidona houses the largest continental population on Misrana.
General Information: Calidona is run by the Triumvirate, a team of three beings that make the bulk of the decisions. There is one ustelan, one alulan, and one Nunki Triumvirate member each. Men and women are equal within Calidona and its military and governmental status. Currently, for the civil war, the Supremacy is drafting soldiers from across the continent, which is putting a lot of tension among its people.
Culture: There is some semblance of a religion upon Calidona, where loyalty is with the Supremacy, and to bend to the Triumvirate's will is necessity, and it's thought to show great respect to the power that provides all one needs. Questions are not to be asked. Questioning the religion is thought to be highly disrespectful, and if a family member or someone involved with the one who is raising suspicion does not act, then officials will take responsibility. There are classes that many are put through to reform, and should that not prove to be effective, then torture, jail, and death are available options.
Races: Among the more dominant races are the alula, the nunki, and the ustelu. Humans are a shy, but welcomed species, and often the malemni, golemni, and nahriman are looked down upon, and live in the poorer areas within Calidonan cities.
Military: Calidona only serves for the best technology in their military, fitting their soldiers with the best equipment money can buy. The vehicles are less organic and more mechanic, with high-grade Magic capsules that cause the worst amounts of Magic pollution, but pull more energy for more damage and power.
Calidonans focus on ground-based military; using their population to their advantage. Their military forces often come in terrifyingly large fleets, armed with non-individualistic top-grade machinery. The soldiers are trained brutally and intensely, serving two full years training themselves to fight on the battlefield, and four years actually participating in active duty before they can return home again. Even then, they almost always return home changed.
Most of the Calidonan military population isn't due to voluntary signing. Even though the upper class of Calidona treat the draft as a 'blessing', as the Triumvirate would like them to, young and able men and women are drafted and ripped from their homes regardless of wealth or social status and brought to the military to serve their term. To shun the draft order would be to give six years of one's life until the Calidonan complies and submits to military service.

The cyborg rolled out of the way of the small object but the noticed it's trickery. Optical and Radar systems inoperable switching to sound and xray scanning. The robot began to scan again looking for the hostile being. Environment no longer suitable. As it's AI systems realized this it began to activate it's feet and back thrusters. The air around it became heated as the metal cyborg began to rise above the fog and into the sky it hovered above the treeline.
The fog was no ordinary fog, it was a combination of toxic gasses and spores. As the cyborg flew out of the fog the gasses would react with the oxygen and would act as a catalyst for the spores, which would begin to grow into thick moss and mushrooms, covering the body of the cyborg and restricting it's movements with its roots.
Below, Ralen stood in the middle of the fog with his hood and mask up over his face. He spun in a rapid circle, causing his cloak to swing about and clear the air. He then lifted his bow and released an arrow with a head shaped like a claw at the foot of the cyborg. A rope was attached to the other end of the arrow.
Below, Ralen stood in the middle of the fog with his hood and mask up over his face. He spun in a rapid circle, causing his cloak to swing about and clear the air. He then lifted his bow and released an arrow with a head shaped like a claw at the foot of the cyborg. A rope was attached to the other end of the arrow.
The cyborg had foolishly not taken a sample of the fog and now it was covered in the moss and everything else then the claw impacted. System failure increasing shield strength diverting electric charge to shields. As it did this the shields were retracted to under the moss as they began to form a blue barrier between the metal and the roots as they tried to push and pry the roots free. Then the shields were electrically charged as they zapped the growing organism in an attempt to kill it. This was a dangerous move as if the shields were pushed back it would mean an untimely end for the cyborg. This move proved how desperate the situation was for Emrys-079.
No Ralen grabbed the rope and pulled, jerking the hooked arrow into the cyborg's leg and pulling him to the ground with a strength far more than his frame should possess. He reached up to gain a better grip and pulled once more, attempting to force the machine to the ground.
The machine felt a pull and it luched toward the ground with astounding speed. The moss had finally began to fall off as the cyborg increased it's thrust tenfold to match the overwhelming strength. The rope was slack from both the thrust and pulling. It looked as if it would tear at any moment. Emrys took this moment to drop it's sniper and grab it's pistol as it fired a series of shots at No Ralen it's thrusters still activated most would miss.
No Ralen twisted and stretched to dodge the bullets as they came at him, before grapping hold of the line and giving it one more harsh pull. The machine might notice that as he did, his feet were flat on the ground and the grass seemed to grow thick around his boots, as though the very earth was holding him to the ground and granting him leverage.
As the rope was pulled further the pull was just too much and the cyborg began to loose height. In one last move it shot the rope breaking it and getting free. -Systems at critical levels, retreat suggested- As quickly as the robot had landed it streaked through the sky as it left the area headed away to recover from the encounte.
No Ralen frowned as the rope broke and sighed, following the cyborg's escape. He picked up his bow and set off in the direction of his camp.
He wasn't concerned about the robot, the moss had done it's work, the poison spores had been set to impregnate the creature. They would lie dormant until activated, and then they would paralyze the creature.
The hunt was beginning, and Ralen never missed his mark.

"I assure you that while I am sure you are a perfectly nice woman, I am not particularly interested in pursuing a relationship with you - especially what with my current profession and the great possibility that we will continue working together. Keeping the relationship professional would be the smart thing to do."
He sat back in the co-pilot's seat and examined the console in front of him. It seemed they were nearing a planet of some form, one with an atmosphere that was at least breathable. Good.

Kayera Altona rolled her eyes as the ship closed with the ground. "Oh your no fun, you know what you keep that attitude up and girls will start to think your on the wrong team." She walked to the exit to be ready to leave the ship as soon as it landed.

Godrage followed Kayera, throwing on a jacket as he did so and making sure to collect his gun from the table behind him on the way out, which he pocketed just as he approached the airlock exit.
"So, this is some form of tropical continent? I can feel the heat already," he explained as the ship touched down and the doors opened. He stepped on down to the ground below them, a clearing in the middle of a thick rainforest. As he looked around, he peered back at Kayera in order to ask her a question.
"So... What are you?"

"So... What are you?"
To answer him, Kayera exploded into a fog which then passed over him. She reformed with her arms around him and her head next to his, with her lower body rooted to him like a parasite. "I'm whatever I want, or need, to be." She said before she liquifed and sloughed off of him and reformed out of the puddle. "You sure you don't wanna have some fun? I'm a very accommadating partner, if you get my drift." She winked at him over her shoulder.
He watched as she changed her body so freely, and used it in what seemed like such a clear attempt at seducing him. He couldn't deny that he didn't like her; she was strange, interesting, attractive and had repeatedly helped him and saved his life. With such close physical proximity and emotional connection, it was easy to understand why she had just about successfully cracked his armour.
"Fine," he answered her. "This was bound to happen sooner or later, and in the middle of no-where like this with nothing but a ship, there's no point trying to avoid the inevitable, right?"
He made his way to Kayera, put his hand on her lower back and began to push her back up towards the ship for the obvious.

Smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him as she made her own way onto the ship. Once onboard she would turn to face him and, with a barely controlled laugh, she shakes her head. "I keep forgetting this myself, but technically speaking, I'm naked to begin with." She laughed and the bikini top and the blue jean pants that had covered her shifted and formed into skin and flesh, as they were nothing but adapted cells of her body.
She smiled suggestively at him. "Well, your turn."
She smiled suggestively at him. "Well, your turn."
The man smirked. "You really are a strange woman, Kayera," he told her, putting an arm around her waist and pulling her to his side as he escorted her down the corridor and to the sleeping quarters. Items of clothing were being lost form his form along the way, and in the true fashion of a professional assassin, his gun was the last to go - placed on the table besides the bed they would be sharing.
Without a single other word, he would push her down to the mattress, where they proceeded to sleep together.
Several hours later, the man woke, and like a robot he rose immediately from his bed and began to dress.

Kayera stirred and opened her eyes to look at Godrage's back. "mmmm... Nice." She said as she reached up and squeezed his rear, before pushing herself up and wrapping over him. Her body would melt and wrap over him in the same armor as it had before, covering his form entirely.
She would then whisper in his ear "This is more comfortable isn't it, and it's more protective. A win win for both of us. You get the support of my amazing abilities, and I get to stay snug close to you." She giggled.

As the woman seemed to turn back into the strange organic armour and cover him entirely, he stood and, not forgetting to take his gun, made his way back towards the cockpit area.
"I'm trying to figure out just what you are," he said, as he took a seat. "You're clearly an organic lifeform, and sapient, but you're definitely not human. You might not even be female in your own species, though I guess it's too late to think that, isn't it?"
"And the way you replaced the technological functions of my previous suit with your own, organic variants... It's amazing. Is there literally no limit to what you can do?"
"I'm trying to figure out just what you are," he said, as he took a seat. "You're clearly an organic lifeform, and sapient, but you're definitely not human. You might not even be female in your own species, though I guess it's too late to think that, isn't it?"
"And the way you replaced the technological functions of my previous suit with your own, organic variants... It's amazing. Is there literally no limit to what you can do?"
"I would be blushing if it wasn't for my current form. But to put it simply, I assume that Melanie told you how she and that ship came to be right?" She whispered into his ear, the suit making it feel as though her lips were right there.
"basically, the same race that created that ship created me. They liked to learn, it was a pastime of theirs." She sighed "one of them wanted to create a biological AI, something that was truly alive, but could interface with non organic systems. They experimented for years before finding a combination of plant and virus dna that allowed a plant based life form to mutate and change rapidly to adapt to any situation." A hallucination of herself appeared to hover in front of him. It was like a hologram, but the suit was directly manipulating his brain to make him hallucinate in a specific pattern. "I was the result. They called me a FaeForm, after the legend of fairies and their relation to plants. They treated me as nothing more than an expirement, and I quickly got tired of that. I was seventeen when I told them I was going to be my own person and leave them..."

"I guess that's fair," he replied, watching the hallucination-hologram with curiosity. "I was in a... Relateable situation myself, at one time."
He went to scratch the side of his forehead a bit, staring out of the pilot's viewing glass at the wilderness surrounding the ship. "So, how long are we going to stay here and what will we be doing? I can't help but get the feeling the only reason we came and landed on this planet was so we could hide and sleep with each other. "
"Also, how much are you linked with me? Can you read my thoughts, for example? Do I have to be careful of what I think about around you?"

"Also, how much are you linked with me? Can you read my thoughts, for example? Do I have to be careful of what I think about around you?"
In response, Godrage would feel a sudden itch on his left leg. "I'm able to integrate to the point where I can make you feel, see, or hear things that aren't actually there. So yeah I can get pretty deep in there. However your brain and mine work differently so even though I can integrate with you, I can't directly translate what you think." The hallucination falls backwards and floats in mid air. "As to why were here, it was the closest planet with a sufficient amount of living material to accelerate adaptation for me. I can grow into a ship on this planet, and I don't know about you but I'm uncomfortable taking that ship anywhere."
"Very well, at least I can think for myself, then," he told the suit's 'organic AI'. "But might I ask you to turn back into an actual woman? I would much rather see you as another person I can interact with, rather than a voice inside my head stemming from an organic suit of armour."
He stood up, looking back towards the room they had shared earlier. "Will I need to get new clothes again? Or will you leave them 'un-demolished' this time? I would prefer to remain dressed, if it's all the same to you."

The hallucination rolled it's eyes. "Oh but your so sexy when your naked. Besides, technically I'm always naked."
Never the less she removed herself from Godrage, leaving his clothes intact as she reformed into her preferred form: A fair skinned woman with short blond hair wearing low ride blue jeans and a bikini top.
She set up walking ahead of him. "We need to find a clearing I can root down in."

"Technically you're not even human, though," he answered with something of a smirk. "So it doesn't matter if you're naked."
"Either way, there was a clearing I spotted outside the ship. I imagine you want to get away from this drone, right? I'm surprised it hasn't tried to take us back to The Huntress yet. I guess the woman got distracted, or something."
He made his way out of the ship exit and down into the tropical rainforest, where a clearing had allowed the ship to land in the first place. "I'll follow your lead, I'm quite curious to know what 'root down' means."

Makes a face at him as she walks. "I might not be human, but if I want to be then I can be, because anything that has DNA, I can become. As to the drone, yeah I was rather unsettled when it didn't react to me hacking in." She hops over a log and turns to him. "i don't know where the clearing is, so you lead."
