Been through the desert...

WHO: Elita One and Fortress Maximus
WHERE: Outskirts of Haven
WHEN: Around now
WHAT: Bumping into each other!
WARNINGS: None, most probably.

With a lack of things to do, there was still one thing that took up a lot of time and was intersting enough, even a year after coming here; exploring the Haven and its surroundings. The last few days she'd been travelling straight out from Solus' temple outwards, to hit the edge nearing the wilderness, and raced along an invisible line, darting to each side if she saw something that might warrant a closer look.

You didn't really meet up with others out here - the Junk Pile was a lot safer bet for random encounters than here, so it was a bit of a surprise when she caught the sight of another mech.

... Glyphless or not, though? Hard to tell from this distance, but Elita was nothing if not willing to check it out. She didn't, though, transform and engage her camouflage, instead approaching in full view.

Having been tracking an unknown creature of his own, when Fortress Maximus heard an engine approach, he went on guard; thumbing off the safety of his weapon, he turned, keeping the barrel pointed up until he sighted the source. And even when he spotted it, he stayed on the defensive...though wary.

Didn't look like a monster, but better safe than sorry. He stood his ground, tall and visible, glancing around only once for signs of others.

Very easily seen, and the fact that he stopped and waited for her to approach was probably a good pointer that he wasn't a monster or Glyphless, but you never knew... she transformed a fair bit away, slowly walking closer.

She hadn't pulled out her rocket launcher/EMP, but apparently weaponless or not, she was still perfectly capable of being dangerous. Back mounted panels flicking slightly, she looked the mech over as she came closer - huge, somewhat familiar if only through images and stories told, but she was pretty sure he wasn't from her reality, and...

A glyph.

"Not often you meet someone out here," said Elita, nearly idly as she continued her slow approach, careful only by virtue of uncertainty how he'd react.

[warborn]

Nonhostile. Fort Max relaxed slightly, nodding in response. "Thought I saw something out here. Been following the tracks for a while." It went without saying he wasn't sure what it was, but...

Better safe than sorry. They'd had enough trouble.

At that information, Elita immediately straightened up, optics narrowing as she cast a glance around them. Nothing around here immediately, but that didn't necessarily mean anything.

"I haven't seen anything in the direction I came from, tracks or otherwise... do they lead away or into Haven from here?" Unless it's gone underground, whatever it is, like those mechanical centipedes could do.
