#my blu snipes is nowhere near as anxious all the time

[feixing02]

Whether it be loose dirt or the creaky hallways of the buildings they fought in, an obstacle anyone would find while trying to navigate their various bases was staying silent. It’s near impossible, and footsteps are almost always inevitably heard when they’re being listened for.

The trick obviously being, when they’re being listened for. Looking for the distraction of explosions and gunfire or just talking was a good time to move as quietly as possible. If you’re lucky and out of the line of sight, it’s usually enough. That being said, for those that are already looking for you there is no such thing as a silent footstep, and staying in one position is simply inviting eventual discovery. However, Satellite is gifted with having no footsteps.

Owing to this there are a fair number of situations she can get in and out of despite lacking the powers of invisibility. Surely only occasional glances backwards were necessary, and your ears could be trusted for any passerby? Surely you’d hear if someone clambered up to the second floor through the window and was now listening in from the next room? 

Maria has lost count of the amount of times she’s snuck by in plain sight, a few feet behind inattentive enemies. Not that the concept wasn’t completely terrifying for the first few months.
