There was a tense silence as Shadow 55-70 and his Ghost seached the Glimmer cavern for an exit, but all they could find was the narrow tunnel from which they entered. After going around in circles a few times, the Warlock kicked one of the Glimmer crystals growing out of the floor in frustration, and it shattered into tiny blue particles and scattered itself around, illuminating the room further in the characteristic blue glow of Glimmer.

The unexpected light change cased the cloaking systems of multiple Stealth Vandals to attempt to adapt, revealing the Fallen that used them. As soon as he saw one, Shadow 55-70 turned in a quick circle, seeing that he was completely surrounded by about 10 or 15 of them. The Vandals all chuckled loudly, almost simultaneously, an already eerie sound that was made frightening by the way it echoed off of the cavern walls.

"You... may want to leave for this..." suggested Shadow 55-70. The Ghost complied and Transmatted away, leaving the Exo alone with the Vandals, who all readied their weapons. Shadow 55-70 responded by slightly raising his Multi-Tool, and suddenly loosing a bullet at a Vandal in front of him. It fell, its head bursting and its wispy white soul gracefully rising out of its body in elegant curves, before disappearing in the air.

The Exo missed all this beauty as he quickly dived behind a thick cluster of Glimmer crystals, taking out the Vandals behind him with three precise shots. One of the Vandals that was left shouted something, and then Shadow 55-70 could hear the Vandals scuffling about, changing position. He started wondering what they were about to do, but abruptly stopped as 4 Wire Rifle blasts hit the Glimmer he was hiding behind at once, shattering it.

The energy released when the Glimmer broke, despite it being a relatively weak crystal, sent Shadow 55-70 tumbling down to the ground. As soon as he landed on the cold stone floor, thankful that he was a robot and therefore could dull out pain whenever he fancied, made a quick attempt to stand up. He succeeded somewhat, because as soon as he stood, he stumbled and was hit by three Shock RIfle bolts. Groaning as the electricity coarsed though him, the Warlock made a clumsy dash for another Glimmer crystal, diving behind it, barely dodging a Wire Rifle blast.

One of the Vandals managed to reactivate its cloaking system, and began to slowly creep around the Glimmer crystal, Wire Rifle at the ready. It slowly raised the weapon to its face, its Exo enemy's head in the center of the scope's crosshairs...
