Lera Mishnev and Leon Quinn - Main Group, Merging with Smaller Group - Sinai
The machine, now known to Lera by the name of Strife, made a retort to her little quips that genuinely amused her this time around, the air of truth to his words is what sold it for her, even Leon saw the funny side.
"Hey, you're not wrong about the amount of guys, girls and all others between arriving! But there's only one of me, Strife~" Lera replied, then brushed past Strife's shoulder as she laid down her conclusion.
"If it's too taxing watching over these clowns, I'll lend you a hand, yes?" She spoke with quite the cheek in her voice, prior to her heading down with he and the others to group up with more people, ones that those present in their conglomeration seemed to know from events before her arrival.
"That girl, upon the ground...I can feel a great amount of power within." Leon noted, though he had felt its presence from beyond the several miles they just had to traverse, the feeling was evermore palpable now.
"She's dying. That power's tearing her apart, how did this happen?" He added, even as she was being picked up and they followed Sam Fisher. Lera however, simply punched him upon the shoulder lightly, tsking away.
"Now now, Leon, dying or not, they're sure to have good reason as to her condition, no?" Then she looked to Alec, then The Doctor.
"Right?" Lera added in a surprising bout of seriousness with her only visible facial feature, her glowing crimson eyes, narrowing into a glare.

Lord Horus, Iron Lord of Eternal Radiance - Nearby - Sinai
Awakening in a rather undignified position in the middle of a desert, Iron Lord Horus picked himself up in short order, wiping the sand from his visor and robes and looking around, then to the skies. The Warlock was utterly befuddled, squinting under his helmet, then sharply looking to his left.
"Ghost?" He called, followed by said Ghost appearing next to him...to his right.
"Guardian?" His Ghost replied, the hovering drone-like being observing their surroundings with his singular eye. "Where, are we now?" Ghost quizzed, seeming a little done in, believing Horus to have screwed something up in their transmat. Horus simply sighed in defeat, shaking his head.
"I was about to ask you the very same...it's not either of our faults, I'm sure of it, so don't look at me with that tone of voice, Little Light." Horus expressed his dismay, taking a short walk ahead, but stopping and signalling his Ghost to do the same with a raised fist, which then opened up.
"Binoculars, please." His Ghost then materialized a pair from Horus's inventory into his open hand.
"Thanks." He then put them to his eyes, allowing him a closer look at what he had caught a glimpse of: A massive gathering of people, all different shapes, sizes and creeds...why?
"Ghost...are you seeing this?" Horus questioned, his Ghost also taking a closer look. "Yep, that is quite the variety I'm seein'. Initial scans read...cybernetics, healing powers, a binary vascular system now that one's a doozy, um...Traveler's Light?" The Ghost analysed, sounding shocked upon uttering the last result, to which Horus replied with a somewhat frantic scan with his Binoculars, stopping short when he saw what appeared to be a Hunter, female, couldn't tell if she was an Exo, Human or Awoken from this distance but the armour seemed familiar.
"That's another Guardian, Ghost. Amongst all those people...? Well!" Lord Horus handed the Binoculars to Ghost, who put them away for him before he stood from his crouch as his aura of Radiance perked up more than usual.
"Let's go meet them, shall we?" Lord Horus proposed, but didn't wait for his Ghosts answer before taking off toward them. "Someone's eager..." Ghost uttered before disappearing back into Horus's "Backpack" as it were. Lord Horus quickened his approach by mixing his running with Warlock Glides, hastening his arrival before Sam Fisher, quickly clearing his throat and settling down.
"Apologies for any shock, but I've also come to join your little escapade. Lord Horus, by the way." Horus introduced himself, with a short bow, his Ghost briefly popping out to say hello and retreating again while he did this.
