Gearshift had come to Praxus with one thing in mind: a big score. Her old stomping grounds were getting boring and stale, not to mention the increasing presence of Peacekeepers in some parts. It irked her to no end when suitable targets were too close to the officers or became all too predictable and the same.
Even her studies had become boring.
To shake things up, The young Cyber ninja-in-training had decided to use the excuse of going to some of the museums in Praxus as an excuse to seek new targets. Much to her awe however, one sphere had captured her optics almost immediately. Otherwise known as the Sphere of Doradas, the gold orb sat on display, not being the relic it once was but now back into pieces, or so it appeared. He spark raced at the thought of snagging such a beautiful piece of history, much less how high of a price it could fetch on the black market! Patiently though, she waited for the History of Technological Relics to be cleared of other patrons, turning her head just slightly enough to ensure there were no other bystanders.
Grinning to herself, the young femme lifted her naginata from her back, extending the blade for reaching purposes and moved back to the relic. Carefully she tested the area around the orb, poking and prodding to find an energy containment field holding it in place, preventing others from reaching it due to a repulsion field layered with it. “Need a little force...” She muttered under her breathe, shoving additional weight behind her weapon, feeling the resistance of the containment field against the staff. With a heave, she managed to get enough thrust to ram the blade through and knock the Sphere from its containment but moments later being knocked on her aft from the sudden yank back. Letting out an “oof!” the flashy painted femme rubbed her backside as she got up, grabbing her weapon in the process and realizing some lights were flashing around the circular platform that kept the energy field triggered. A silent alarm!
Optics widening, the femme stowed away her weapons nd sprinted to the sphere, picking it up in her arms as security cane around the corner. “Stop right there!” She heard one yell as she was sprinting to the opposite hall, catapulting herself over the check in gates much to the surprise of other visitors, forcing them to move aside as she bolted out the door. “Haha! Eat my dust coppers!” She sneered, skipping down the steps leading into the museum before racing around a corner. Still, she could hear their angered yells and curses, smirking to herself as she felt she had gotten away, pushing through the busy streets and veering off into the highway, feeling if she made it to the opposite side she could blend in...
An idea that was dashed as a human vehicle came barreling towards her. Gasping, Gearshift barely dug her heel in to parry to the side, the car scrapping her ankle as she did and overcorrecting her reaction. The entire scenario felt like t was slow motion before her optics, her body crashing down chest first onto the metallic road, a crunching of metal making her grimace in realizing she had partially crushed the sphere, sending some of the previously precariously put back together parts to scatter to the feet of other civilians around her. Sitting up had Grarshift realizing she only held the lower part of the sphere, glancing up to see where the other pieces had gone.
