The front Infiltrator, with its hardlight Katana draw, delivers two strikes. One goes parallel to the ground, and one goes directly to the middle of the larger critter, then it jumps back. The Katana, in each of the strikes, produces some kind of thin crystalline medium that is launched into the air, and carries a bit of the hardlight that, though not very potent, still has an edge of the size of a proton, more than enough to cut through any normal foe.
The whole team leaps back with resounding electrical arcs and hissing hydraulics of the exosuits, as the ones that were watching the back now watch the front, and the other ones continue fiering their hardlight repeaters at the critters, which could surprisingly resist one of the rounds.

It would seem the front infiltrator would also discover difficulties in it's attempt at killing the large creature that surprisingly tanked one of the shots of the AT guys, for while things the thinness of a proton would slice through normal foes like butter it would seem extremely clear these creatures were not normal. For as the flying hardlight cuts collided with the quickly approaching critter they cut into it's carapaced shell, then shattered as something stopped the hardlight, merely giving the critter some small proton wide cracks in it's carapace.

And it would seem that despite the technological advantage of the delta infiltrators, these critters had the obviously superior biological advantage as they approached quicker than the delta could back away, three of the smaller critters came close enough to the deltas to enter their 'shield's area, colliding against particulate masses but not stopping, their protection being ample to last them a fair while against the wworkings of the particulate shield.

As Karmelie approached the door, it creaked open, revealing an abyssmal corridor with no end in sight, shadows covered the corridor head to toe, the walls seeming to not be there yet they were there. As good as Karmelie could see, there were no signs nor traps. Unknown inscriptions covered pieces of the large doors, incomprehensible to her.

As Johan hurried along to where the woman was previously seen. He had to go back over the bridge, hurriedly going up the stairs leading to one of hte plateaus where he could see a statue in a meditating position, it not being one of his concerns he continued forth down to another little forest, following the sandstone pavement over another bridge leading to one of the temples other entrances. There he could see the woman (@The_Norwegen_idiot ) standing on front of the large wooden door which had opened, an abyssmal corridor showed itself.

As he walked away from the door, it creaked close, shrouding the abyssmal corridor back into hiding. looking around, the two plateaus that were on each side of the small forest he came from, the cyan barrier musing out at the bluish tinted skies as aflame acid fell from the heavens. On the plateaus close to their edge with the barrier, were two statues sitting on stone blocks, one were in a meditating position, the other in a crouched stance. both had something golden hanging in front of their face, and they both held something.

But which plateau shoudl he start with. The na sudden shiver down his spine makes him feel watched. Looking back, He caught a glimpse of something humanoid that just so suddenly disappeared.

This humanoid apperance wasnt new to Charlie, as he dealt with assasins pointed at him back home, though it was frightening.

Charlie takes out some kind of laptop and marks these locations for "investigation" maybe by some other arott another time. After that he begins walking casually towards the temple, looking around for hostiles...

Darknessry Johan takes something that looks like a clock out of his pocket, and uses it to communicate with Wastas using signals, who also has the device:

J: "I have spotted the woman, she seems to be going towards the temple. From the way she inspects the environment and doesnt have a clear destination or knowledge of the environment, it is safe to assume that we are not the only ones who came here to investigate. What are your orders?"

W:" Follow her for now, and dont let her notice you. If she comes in possesion of something important, subdue her. Dont use lethal weapons. Me and Karmelie will head into the temple now."

and with that, Wastas approaches Karmelie

W: "Anything suspicious?"
K: "Nothing, except the darkness, there is a posibllity that this temple was abandoned, but there may be traps. We wont know for sure until we head in."

Wastas nods and reaches for his pocket. He pulls out a handful of small metallic balls, with some holes in them. He goes towards the door, and then throws the balls as far as he could. The balls activate as soon as they touch the ground, lighting up the surroundings. Some balls stop in the place, providing clear light, while others keep on rolling. While that is happening, Wastas enters the temple, guns ready but not drawn, with Karmelie still outside, looking towards the temple

the ship landed as close to the barrier it could, and when then crew made necessary steps to protect the ship from acid, and they headed towards the barrier

Darknessry follows it, atleast best he can, it is on a different t level of gravity from him. Right behind dasha, I’d guess. Also finally with a bit more.... enthusiasm that he has lacked so far

(welcome to the mirrored palace where fantasy and all kinds of fuckery is cranked to 11!)

As they followed the statue, it lead them through the corridor which quickly gave way to a wide, straight sandstone bridge that lead to some sort of island, looking around, they could see multiple islands, them being in a massive cylindrical room, dozens, if not hundreds of kilometres wide, blueish fog made the sandstone walls look like skyes, a massive abyss stretching downwards under the bridge and the islands.

One thing that seemed off to them were the fact they could make out ruined bridges that extended from all the islands they saw towards the centre, almost as if there should have been an island or something in the centre. The two could also notice something like large creatures scattered around on some of the islands, due to the islands still severe distance apart and away from the two, the creatures had to be exceptionally large.

Then they could hear a shriek as in front, the sanstone statue had seemingly swatted some small critter, leaping forwards way faster than the two had expected, cutting apart odd looking meter tall creatures. Then a loud rumbling from above came. The nan absolutely massive stump like object came crashing down, crushing the statue and any of the creatures unlucky enough to be close by into pancakes, then as it fell, the stump crashed through the bridge, cracking it in two.

Then it slowed down and rose bac kup. It seemed to belong to a very long carapaced limb, stretched out of a large black circular surface high up in the miraged sky, 9 more legs were stretched out of the massive surface, large writhing black tentacles and black mist was also seen coming from the colossal black circular surface. 4 of the massive legs seemed to be holding up a large island, floating broken fragments and bridge made it logical to assume it was what the central bridges were leading to...

speaking of floating fragments, fragments of the crushed bridge they were on seemingly rose from the abyss. How, was a stupid question to ask by this point. The floating fragments could be used as stepping stones to get over the otherwise impossible to cross, destroyed bridge.

Darknessry Angelina looks at the entrance. She begins walk into the entrance with her weapon ready thinking that there is danger inside.

Darknessry soldier is, quite obviously, confused out of his mind, also quite scared now, gripping his holstered plasma pistol on his side, as he tries to see what le shit is even across the remnants of the bridge.

Darknessry unfazed by the anomalous creature,Dasha tries and cross the bridge via the floating stones,her black suit swirling up to cover her face

The soldier could see that the island the fragmented bridge led to was covered in some sort of jungle, strange bird like creatures seemed to circle it while some sizeable, odd creatures seemed to be in combat with living statues much like the one they followed into this place. Predatorial screeching regularly echoed across the island together with larger growls coming from elsewhere on the island from sources the soldier was unable to see.

It goes easily but sometimes were a close call to keep her footing on the hovering fragments, untill she reaches the damaged bridge on the other side of the bridge. Screeching comes from in front of her as a statue much like the one she and the soldier followed fought against a 4 meter tall creature resembling some sort of predator with scythed blades rather than hands , damaging the statue as it was repeatedly stabbed and impaled by the statues longsword. Several of it's limbs were cut off but they were nowhere to be seen along with several pieces of it's carapaced flesh. The presence of all kinds of magic was present within the beast and many of the other creatures on this Island but Dasha was unable to find exact details as if the creatures were lighthouses while the very air was a thick fog.

Then out of the corner of her eye, Dasha saw something move, something that seemed perfectly camouflaged against the sandstone. Then it stopped, then revealed itself as a rat sized creature of sorts, razor sharp edges and spines as it released a screech and jumped surprisingly quickly at Dasha.

It'd be a mistake to assume that any of the Delta's creations were close to normal, and that they weren't to use what they were masters of, spliced with the more advanced methods of the Infiltrators, all to their advantage. Whilst the external suit granted them more brute force, the true greatness about the infiltrators is that they were at the cutting edge of what can be considered biological or not, achieving both great mobility but also great strength of the machinery.
Strenght of such that was delivered swiftly onto the small critters, a precise punch to their face that protuded beyond the shield but held in place due to the fact that the shield isn't meant to stop but rather repell, with the impact force enough to bend a steel I beam and perhaps get through its tensile strength, it's enough to send the small critters flying to the other side of the room. If they were organic the kinetic wave could definetly crush organs.
The other Infiltrators continued shooting their repeaters and slashing with the katana, the AT rifles should be ready to shoot again at any time.

(Can I bring in Nekhala? appearance: a human with robotic plating on both arms and legs, and his right shoulder, and glowing blue eyes, which do nothing special. He usually wears a black bodysuit, and uses dual plasma chain-blades which are very good at starting fires, and are connected to his arm plates so he can swing on them like Spider-man. Left arm plate also has a tiny little energy pulse emitter that he doesn't use much.)

(Okay.) Unbeknownst to the others inside, a medium-sized corvette bearing a nondescript symbol on its side had just warped into orbit. Nekhala sat in the cramped control room, looking at the readings on the planet below. "Well, this could get... Interesting," he said to himself.climbing into the closest drop pod, he slammed the airlock door, and blasted downward at top speed.

Stepping out of his drop pod, Nekhala noticed two things. The first was the slanted burrow that the drop pod had dug upon sensing the acid pouring from the sky. The second was the cyan dome protecting the temple, and containing copious amounts of vegetation. Assisted by his arm and leg platings' micromoters, Nekhala slowly lifted the drop pod to use as a sort of umbrella, to approach the dome without becoming a pile of melted flesh.

dodo_bear

*The acid rain stuck in clumps to Nekhala's drop pod shield, and dripped down the side, slowly eating away the metal. At this point, however, he was already up against the wall of blue. Confused as to how to get in, Nekhala leaned casually against the dome, and to his surprise, he found himself standing on a sandstone porch, and promptly fell over. Noticing a pathway leading up to a potential entrance, Nekhala dashed up the steps, and skidded to a halt before a stone tablet sticking out of the ground at an odd angle.
