The call had been brief. EPD Dispatch was reporting two Imperial troopers as having been neutralized by an unknown hostile, presumably affiliated with Camelot just a few minutes ago. It was not known whether the two Imperial soldiers had been killed outright or not, but it didn't matter. This kind of disturbance to the Empire's operations in the Nexus was exactly the kind of reason Kopaka had decided to post himself here in the first place. The small motors within the optics of the Akaku whirred as the Toa looked east, the most likely direction of travel for the assailant.
Indeed, against the stark white horizon of the Nexus, it was quite easy for the scoped sight of his Kanohi to make out the shuffling forms of not one, but two human figures. A quick scan to the left and right confirmed that no other travelers were in that vicinity. There was a small, electronic buzz as his mask changed to the streamlined shape of the Kanohi Kakama. The Great Mask of Speed shone brightly for a moment before Kopaka's entire body accelerated abruptly into a dark, glimmering blur. Normally, when accelerated to such high speeds, the entire environment passed by as a wall of prismatic streaks. In the Nexus, however, it was shockingly easy to navigate towards the marching specks, who rapidly grew to their full stature.
There was little warning, then, as Kopaka skidded to a stop with a shrill scraping sound, leaving a whirling trail of frost and snow in his wake as he soared past the two Camelot warriors for several meters. Kopaka's heavy black cloak fell slowly about him as sword and shield were drawn, his EPD insignia glinting demurely in the omnipresent light of the Nexus.
"This is Kopaka." he muttered, to seemingly no one in particular.
"I'm engaging the Kingdom aggressors now."
