guardian log 4.111.j ~~~~~ jumphish

Good news, I finally found bgrishinko and shadow again and we teamed up with a few others to go check out this really cool space cruise ship thingy.  Bad news, I'm super lost.. again.

bgrishinko was going on and on and on about realms and codes and RedGas extra dumb IT while I was jumping around exploring.  I might have fallen off the ship a couple of times, but it really wasn't my fault... ever since I got my light back my jumps really don't carry the same momentum they used to.  There was a time where I could harness the pulse of consecutive jumps and out run even the fastest hunters, now I'm slow and often miscalculate how far I can jump.  Anyways, after my last failed jump I re-spawned inside a maze of industrial hallways.  I swear I've explored every route, but I get the feeling I'm going in circles... oh and guess what that new map/radar I got... yeah it doesn't work here..


UPDATE - found them, though I'm still not sure why I wanted to..  Perhaps the fumes from the blue flames and purple floor had gotten to them, because the second I got there I was asked to join a dance party at the feet of a giant yet barely clothed cabal while bg lit him self on fire near the door.  I never turn down a dance party though, so I obliged, and i thought fatty was about to join us as well, but no..  he stomped us.. and only moments later we found ourselves transported into a nightmare that I can't describe.

shadow said it was all part of the plan, a plan that I was promised included some easy loot, but we all left empty handed.  Apparently the plan needs some work, If I know bg, he'll have some ideas for next time, and I'm a sucker for loot, so I'll probably join.. also I want to see fatty go down..

I'm sitll 90% convinced that Shadow is certifiably crazy, but he's not dumb.  To assist in walking me through getting this HUD radar figured out he boosted our party coms and found enough bandwidth to allow me to patch through a live 3rd person video feed from my ghost, there are connection glitches here and there, but he's pretty proud of it and affectionately named it a "twitch feed".  After breaking down a handful of random scouts he talked me through putting the parts together to form a MIDA scout, which basically just collects stats on its usage.  Where it gets really interesting is that the manufacturers hid an easteregg in the telemetry module, unlocked by boosting certain stats.. really dumb stats... like jump in the air and shoot stuff while airborne dumb.  I'm almost completely convinced that BG and Shadow never really needed twitch to walk me through building the weapon, they just wanted to watch me, the bulky midnight lumos "salmon pink" titan, try to stealthfully sneak up on low level enemies and then awkwardly jump and flop around trying hopelessly to hit my target..  After a few minutes of painfully awkward attempts, the hilarity of the situation wore off for BG and he politely informed me that hitting my targets while standing on any elevated object tricked the telemetry module into counting the stat..  anyways I have a radar now, and by this time tomorrow I should be teamed up with BG and shadow.

I made audio contact with Bgrishinko and Shadow today, I'm ecstatic that they're alive, but equally frustrated and bewildered that we have light that can literally resurrect us from death, yet we have a communication system that struggles with even the most rudimentary failover of protocols.  What good is a coms failover if it doesn't notify you or your fireteam that you've been relinquished to fireteam coms due to temporary interference and also fails restore you to your primary coms when the interference has dissipated.  Enough with my ranting, we're all still separated, but shadow says he has some ideas about how we might be able to get radar linked up to our HUDs so we can locate eacother again.. something about collecting scout rifles..   -jumphish

IT WORKED...  IT FREAKING WORKED!!..  I knew that if I would have any chance at survival it wouldn't be from hiding, so I redirected my efforts towards building up some defense.  I read a while back about kessler syndrome, where there's so much debris in orbit you can't place a satellite without it getting demolished, so they started equipping warsats with ACD (active contact defense)..  They can obsorb energy from smaller debris, and when something bigger gets in the way it releases a blast to clear a path.  Anyways I found a downed warsat and was able to modify its superconductor to make my own ACD in the form of gauntlets.  I think I'll call them AC-DC feedback fence.  I'm still trying to lay low, but I feel a little more comfortable engaging smaller enemies now.

It turns out remaining in the shadows is much harder than I had anticipated.  I'm not a dainty hunter and I have quickly come to the realization that my hot pink SRL midnight lumos shader was a horrible choice for this expedition.  You might be wondering why I don't change it out, well its the same reason I can't change anything out right now, BG and Shadow had the wonderful idea of relinquishing all of our excess inventory to our vaults in order to make room for the "sweet loot" that we would pick up from this Raid.  Now here I am, no loot, no backup gear, trying to hide as a giant hot pink princess with no clue on whether or not the rest of my fireteam is even alive.  I can't stay here any longer if I don't go punch something I'm going to end up wasting my super as an anxiety bubble.  wait... I have an idea...  I'll get back to you tomorrow

While the indicator shows one other active guardian in the area, but I can't help but feel I am the last.  My ghost has been malfunctioning for days now and I fear that my light may not be sufficient for regeneration.  I'm hiding in the shadows
