-Echo to anyone at this point, do you read me? We need a status report.

[As he waits for a response, he glances off to the side, muttering under his breath.]

Everyone better be alive…

B-Side: Flashback to The Storm:

"Echo to Temba. Come in, Temba- !"

Third time's the charm and it was still no good. The comms weren't working. Nothing was working.

The hiss in the former ARC Trooper's voice dropped off as he stayed low, using whatever was available for cover in Sh'Ka. His helmet jerked upward as a giant shadow passed over him, staring at the shambling bear-like creature making its way through the wilds of the city.

Exhaling a thin breath, Echo waited before glancing back over his shoulder to be sure Omega was still there, relaxing a bit more when he confirmed she was indeed still with him. "All communications are down," he quietly informed her, albeit mildly irritated that this was all happening again. "Unless we come across other people out in the storm, it looks like we're on our own."

Huh. Red eyes huh? Isn't that like the things that attacked out of the storm?

[only_an_echo]

I don't think they are, but I can't confirm it.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Shit man. That sounds terrifying. Seen any giants since the storm passed?

[only_an_echo]

Negative. I've been keeping watch they haven't reappeared since then.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Good to hear. I'm not the best at giants when I can't get weapons in hand.

Which means I need some weapons not affected by the storm.

[only_an_echo]

The only weapons I can think of off the top of my head are the ones that work with the security datapoint. Without it, you won't be able to use them. Any other weapons are the ones Cayde and I were able to take from one of our 'field trips' off-planet, but I doubt any of that will take down giants.

[ziedrich_bearer]

I mean, I keep myself armed too, but I might just have to ask if Tony can make me a sword and something to carry it with. So I am armed when I don't have access to the Arminger to summon my weapons.

[He's taken giants, before. it's fine.]

[only_an_echo]

That's a good option to have on hand. Wish I could say the same about building a blaster from the ground up, but how would that hold up against a giant?

[Of course he sounds incredulous, you don't just take on giants like normal-sized opponents???]

[ziedrich_bearer]

If a Blaster is a type of gun, better than you think. Both Prompto and Noct would use guns back home, to good effect.

[only_an_echo]

By themselves?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Not entirely by themselves, but sometimes there were things that were only really vulnerable to the guns as opposed to my swords or Iggy’s daggers or polearms.

[only_an_echo]

Different methods for different opponents, then. Whatever firepower you have back in your world would be equivalent to the use of platoons back in mine.

[ziedrich_bearer]

[Now that’s something to consider.]

There’s… a nation with that back home. Or there was. Before things got complicated. They were effective.
