“Hello, yes I live. Just out here chillin.” 

Ky huffed walking through the Bray Tech faculty. He didn’t stray far from the functioning areas. He sighed looking at his data pad scrolling through various links. “Attempt to sync to Ishtar Collect data base, attempt number.... 49.” Ky groaned leaning against his wall slowly sliding down. It wasn’t safe to leave, but he would rather like to interact with someone other then his old Boss. Clovis was great, but blunt and not exactly known for his deeper human connection. Ky perked up hearing the sounds of movement and a voice chattering.  “Hello?”

Ky’s heart race, he wanted to run back to his desk, to attempt to break the simulation. This was all to real, the Traveler was theorized to stop at earth last. To mark the end of a journey and the start of something new for humanity. He followed Hannu with no real thought, sitting inside the shelter his mind processing.  “Earth... What... Earth was suppose to be... It couldn’t have finished Titian!!” He flinched looking at the exit, “Fallen? What is a fallen?” He looked lost, he had never heard of that. Everything was different yet the same, his mind racked for  a reason. This wasn’t a Vex simulation, they weren’t creative enough to generate a new creature. They could only pull from files of pre existing creatures they had studied. It’s why they hung around human habitats alot, trying to catalog all their data. So, this couldn’t be a simulation, their human replicas were hollow, empty. Atleast that was the running theory and he would cling to it  for his sanity.  Still a question rose, one that he had been asked by Dr. Bray when he had come here first. Where something came from, or when?  When. Such a heavy word and his body shook sitting on the cold metal floor. When was always the focus of Vex. Never where or why, but when.  “Hannu, what.... What’s the date?”

Probably gonna be the AU XD 

AU with @clovisbraythefirst but open to all!! Ky or Kupier S. Rigel hails from Golden Age Venus. He grew up on Venus and during a time of peace and prosperity. His youth spent running around Vex ruins and knowing only the knowledge gifted from the traveler. He grew up in the Ishtar Academy and spent much of his time exposed Vex tech like many of his friends.  In order to attend the Graduate program offered by the Academy, he presented a paper focused on Radiolarian and how it helped maintain the Vex’s inner workings even though they haven’t moved in what seemed to be centuries.  The paper caught the attention of Dr. Clovis Bray who approached Ky with a chance to do an Internship on Europa at his company while he attended his classes. The pay that could be put towards his classes and chance to work with a leading company that focused on the progression of science drew Ky into working for Dr. Bray.  His time on Europa made him home sick, his father sent him off with a sprit bloom. On occasions his father also  sent him a crate of snacks that could only be bought on Venus. Ky became wrapped up on making Vex technology easier to interface with humans, he barely registered when it back fires. One of his most proud inventions is the small assistant he made to look and act like the Harpies he had seen as a kid.  The small Harpy is synced to his Data pad and uploads his voice notes and video recordings to his data pad so Ky can review them. It was infact during an routine reassembling of a vex core that casued Ky to jump to current times.  He finds himself thrown into a new time, the Traveler has just reawaken, the Darkness has settled into Europa. Vex roam across the planets, His home and family long dead. he can barely understand what anyone is saying and he finds himself hanging out closer to his boss more then in the past.  Can Ky adjust? How did he end up so far into the future?  Should he trust these new bearers of light or the man that first brought him to Europa? Come meet Ky, a living relic of time long forgotten. 

Ky blinked his brain taking a moment to process the information he had been given. “Hannu??” He echoed rushing up to keep pace with the other. Dangerous? The words echoed in his mind, what had happened? His mind racked for any sounds of alarm or something!  Nothing came to mind, he remembered rolling out of bed. Putting on a lecture being broadcasted by one of his professors. They had been on the topic of Vex and how even with time marching forward, their cores were perfectly in tact. He was watching it on the data pad and eating on his way to his little station. Surrounded by older folks, very few from Venus. Though most from his home were already in steady careers with  Ishtar Collective. Ky had even been in talks with them, but... Dr. Bray had been very receptive to his papers. Focusing on the units themselves.  “Hannu....” Ky’s steps started too slow, taking in the signs of aging the more they walked away from his area.  “How.... What happened? I was just watching a lecture this morning.... Did... Did the traveler move again?” He walked away from the other, he  could feel the chill of Europa cut through his coat and his mind wondered if he could go back and pull his old college sweater on.  His fingers brushed over a bullet hole in the wall and his stomach lurched. Maybe it was just all a simulation. It had to be!  “I mean... How can this whole place feel so empty in a couple of hours?? The others were just breaking off to go get something to eat.” He commented his steps returning to keeping close to the AI. Perhaps the only familar thing in this place.   “I hope this is a simulation.”  He muttered in his native tongue. 

Ky blinked looking at the other, the removed helmet made his eyes brighten. “Oh my gosh look at you!!” He stuffed the data pad under his arm looking at the exo. It was amazing, this model was much farther along than the one that followed Dr. Bray around. “Amazing! So close to vex... Mmmm, does it use radiolarian?” Ky muttered to himself his mind barely registering the the question.  He blinked rattling off the current date, but the year was much further back then what it was currently. “ Ahahah, Don’t tell me I’ve been working for a few days?  Some of my friends I was conversing with before I came here mentioned that could happen! You work so hard and just pop your three days off. They joked that Vex tech will do that to you. Just mess with your perception of time.” He wanted to reach out and touch the exo’s face. It was so advance, “Ahhh, I’m sorry, I’m just really amazed, I think things would progress this fast! I know Dr. Bray is brilliant, but I didn’t think  he’d have material to make one of his robotic assistants so advance! Much less make defense models. I wondered if he had contracts with Earth’s military.”   His stomach growld, churring “Ah, if its alright. I really do need to head to the canteen and get a snack and check on my Spirit Bloom. Did you just need a date check?” He started to duck under the arm trying to get away. He was so tired and sleeping against the helmet of a vex unit never made a good pillow. He also need to check a few things. If this was a simulation then perhaps hashing it out with the Clovis they crafted could help him escape! Though, this chill and rather musty smell didn’t seem right. If they were basing it off his own knowledge. He remember this place being much warmer smelling much more sterile.  He started to his hunt for a at least a  vending unit and then bed.  “Sorry if I umm... Set off any alarms! I was just worried ya know? There’s normally some people milling around. Hehe, I would think I would hear music too, Altair, ya know, he’ll play music while he’s reviewing his reports and... Yeah.” The broken glass he heard crunching under his foot came back. The stranger robot before him that looked much more advance than a few months work. His stomach churned Data pad returning to the front gripped tightly. He felt like a child in this moment.    “This... Isn’t a simulation right? You’re... real?” 

Ky frowned toying with his pad pulling up the map that one of his coworkers had given him. Still, there should be a dull roar of voices in the facility. There should be someone around! This was a thriving colony after all, wasn’t it? His heart started to beat faster the longer he went without seeing someone.  “Hello? For Traveler’s sake... Don’t tell me I’m!” He muttered in his mother tongue, frantic his mind rushing with fear. There was no way that this wasn’t real. The rumors couldn’t be true, surely the Vex weren’t. No, no the Vex were unpredictable. That’s what he had always been told about them. The impossible was possible with them.  He walked up to a card panel, hand paused before running over it.  Pushing against the screen, it felt the same.  Ky felt a crack running along the screen, “No..No this is real, maybe there’s a faculty wide briefing.”  He kept walking hands adjusting his glasses looking for anything that would give away where ever was.  “Ughhh... Maybe I can fudge that I made it there?  I don’t think he chipped us?” Ky muttered, head looking away from the panel at the sounds of footsteps. A guard?  Oh no. Was the faculty really in lock down? Who would have actually tried to break into here?  He smiled nervously walking to meet the other.  It was a relief though, another living being! Someone who could have answers! “Hello! I’m Kupier! Uhh, Kupier Rigel I work in the Research Development... Is... Something going on? I didn’t get an alert about anything...” He gestured with his pad his ID badge moving a bit from where it was hidden. God he felt sick, was he hungry?  “I’m.... Well if nothing bad is happening, I’m gonna go get ready for bed before Mr. Bray hits us with an emergency meeting or pushing deadlines up.” He quickly side stepped the guard pulling his map up.
