Tiky

*Tikki just watches as they open the portal*
So, will you be letting Horace go?

. . .
dammit. you have my hands tied
*Tiky pulls out his teleporter and begins putting in coordinates*

Well, bucko.
*Dramatic sharp breath in*
Not in this dimension!

...
heck.
*Tiky puts the broken beam canon away*

D'OH FUCK!
*They attempt to fire the beam cannon, but it has a power failure and shuts down*

Oof.
Bet you kinda wish you could die right now, eh?

//
Fun fact! Tiky has been in this exact situation several times!

Ah. Yep, that's our Trey.

Trey, or some other Engie?

You don't hear- nevermind.
*Tiky keeps the beam cannon aimed at them*
Why are ye here?

*Tiky dashes backwards a meter or so and pulls out a beam cannon*
Give me one goddamn reason I shouldn't attempt to vaporize you right fucking now.

*Clickity click click, and a kerchunk later, the reactor is fixed!*
*Placing it back inside themselves, they then go inspect the creature*
what are ye...?

//
Finally! You got out of that ravine!

*Tiky walks with you whilst they seemingly retune the reactor*

aAah. Thte 8 rInngn is sligTtly outTt ofF aligNEment.
GgoO aHeaD. ItTt WilLl be aMomenT...
*Tiky opens it up slightly and reaches inside*

*Tiky gets up. Their face/mask/thingy looks all wonky*
Yyyep! Jjust about!
?
*Tiky opens up a hatch on their chest and takes out what looks like a reactor of some sort*
Oh... It bBe PpeckKin up Ag-g-g-ain.
WeE can walk and Repepair.
*Tiky inspects the reactor whilst walking*

me parts... yer usually not supposed ta see them, but I got teleported during maintenance.
Gimme a sec...
*The parts rearrange themselves and start going into Tiky*
*There's a whole lotta clicking*

//
@tr3ycr0w.bsky.social ahem.

*Horace trips a wire which causes a portal to open nearby*
*Tiky flies out of the portal and lands on their face*
oww...
already...?
*There are a lot of their parts orbiting around them. They look kinda... unfinished?*

//
Ah.
Well, Tiky has a horrid crash and Jester retrieves them.

(
oh.
Eh, understandable, honestly.
I'll scout ahead whilst he sleeps.
)
*Tiky looks on ahead*

I'll handle this.
Stand back.
*Tiky literally runs into the barricade and leaves a perfect Tiky-shaped hole, cartoon style.*

(
Tf is this, some kind of demon blood?
)
Any Ideas as to who this blood might belong to?

*Hold on, a vial of blood, you say?*
Hmm?
*Tiky grabs the vial and looks at it*

*Tiky walks with Horace to the desk*

Ah. Well, the offer is always there.
*Tiky puts the crowbar in their inventory*

You should probably have a mele weapon to go with that as well
*Tiky hands you a crowbar*

Hm?
What caught your eye over there?

Other than that Trey appearing via a portal of their own and the fact that almost all footage is gone, nope.

A week ago, an ORG Trey was here!

An ORG Trey?
(
Well, this IS an entirely different universe cluster, so I guess it can happen here.
)

*Tiky hops over and looks at the camera feeds*
