//TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS…//
ESI: What was that?
MURIB: We got hit. Engine 7 is down.
SUNDARESH: We can't take another one of those! This is a colony ship!
ESI: Hard aport. Put Hyperion between us and that—
MURIB: Sir, the r—
ESI: And flood the EM spectrum with—
MURIB: CHIOMA! The round—the one that hit us—it's moving!
ESI: What?
SYSTEM WARNING//STRUCTURAL IMPACT
SUNDARESH: He's right. I'm reading… arms and legs? It's attacking engine 6.
SANCHEZ: I'll scramble a squad of Cloud Walkers. They can suit up and—
MURIB: The maneuvers I'm pulling'll fling them into space, even with mag boots.
TSE: Bringing point-defense cannons about.
ESI: It's only three meters across. Sure you can hit that without peeling us open?
SYSTEM WARNING//STRUCTURAL IMPACT
TSE: Kinda have to, Cap'n. Firing.
MURIB: Buset! That thing just took a fifteen-millimeter burst to the chest!
ESI: Again.
TSE: Firing. It's clear!
MURIB: Mostly. Looks like it left a… is that a spear through our bulkhead?
SUNDARESH: Not sure. It's some kind of exotic matter, spitting all my sensor pings back at me, amplified, like a…
ESI: We can figure it out later, dear. Sanchez, how's the ECM?
SANCHEZ: Not great. Whatever they're using to coordinate, it's not electromagnetic. Getting something weird, though.
MURIB: Weirder than the three-meter hitchhiker knocking on the hull?
SANCHEZ: Maybe. You remember those Vex signals you discovered?
SUNDARESH: On occasion, Carlo.
SANCHEZ: There's a big one! Recurring. Coming from the outer system. Think it's a distress signal.
ESI: Ignore it and get me—
SUNDARESH: No! Bring us back around into the moon's shadow!
ESI: Maya!
SUNDARESH: We need to break line of sight. I can feed that Vex signal into that thing skewering us—use it like an amplifier. It might trick these attackers into thinking we're a Vex ship.
MURIB: It's a tightbeam transmission. We'll have to ride it back to the source to keep that up. You sure you want to meet whatever makes a Vex cry for help?
ESI: Enemy of my enemy, Arief. We might just find a safe port in this storm.
Trivia
- Winterbite has had two glitches where it did more damage than intended against bosses. The first resulted in the weapon being disabled along with multiple other weapons for the World's First race of Root of Nightmares.
- Winterbite’s Perk “Big Frigid Glave” could be a reference to Doom’s BFG9000, or Big Friggin’ Gun 9000
