"The exact nature of the blight is unknown to me, but based on how it was described, I suspect it to be some variety of sentient creature." Kopaka said quietly, looking around as he did so. The biological at his feet was interesting; she carried with her an aura of distinguishing integrity. The cloth veil she wore piqued the Toa's interest, but he decided it was better left alone. At any rate, it didn't seem as if she could help him in his mission, but perhaps she could be of use in another way.
"You are prime? Have you been in this strange world long?" Kopaka asked, turning his head back to regard the woman...
...meanwhile, certain things were watching from the shadows. The small cracks between strings of code where they could hide while avoiding detection. They were small, larval looking creatures that had yellow bodies and sharp, blue beaks; kunemon. They descended from cracks in the digital ceiling, unaware that both Kopaka and Athena were not only primes...but primes who were not so easily ambushed.
"Eeeelectro Web!" one of the larval digimon shrieked, sending a blast of electrified silk at the pair. By this point, Kopaka had already spun up his shield and held it aloft. The gooey attack was deflected away from the shield as it rotated. Athena, having also detected the kunemon long before they had been within striking range, had already drawn her scythe and was returning fire at the startled creatures from behind the cover of Kopaka's shield.
"It would seem the infestation has found us." Kopaka said. His tone was completely flat, so it was impossible to tell if he was being wry or not. Regardless, the kunemon were maintaining their positions dangling from the ceiling, out of the range of Kopaka's sword. The Toa might have been able to send a blast of ice their way, but he was not sure if the rules of elemental control worked differently in this world within a world.
"We need to lure them down." he said softly, swatting away another incoming strand of electrified web. There were precisely thirteen kunemon arranged at various points on the ceiling. Despite their size, they were surprisingly deft at avoiding Athena's gunfire. There had to be a way to get them down from their vantage point...
