Mountain investigation (open thread)

Heat sat upon a fallen tree trunk. He wasn't a stranger to Mt. Frappe, as he had recently learned to embrace its remote, isolated location. The snow and the constant nipping ice were even a little welcome at this point. Anything to keep the disgusting organics far, far away from his presence. Heat had noticed, however, how it wasn't just the strong winds or a bolt of lightning that had pulled down this tree to the earth. It wasn't even the only tree that had been unceremoniously destroyed. Heat moved his head slowly as his eyes surveyed the field in front of him. Words couldn't very much describe what he had seen, but 'Scorched Earth' seemed appropriate enough. It was like a war had taken place and the smell of fire was still fresh in the air, even with the cold winds carrying it away. Snow had begun to set in, like it was trying to hide the evidence of what had occurred in this here mountain, but the craters and the electric crackling of residual energy seemed to have other plans. Heat sighed.

Likely the doing of mindless organics, trying to show their superiority the only way they knew how: fighting, killing and destroying. He probably would have resorted to the same means, but it's not like he would admit that to himself so quickly. He huffed, a cloud of hot steam shooting out from the small segmented plates of synthetic skin that covered his body. It was hot enough to melt any of the snow that had begun to rest upon him, as he didn't have any problems sitting in the same position for hours at a time. Though, as he did, the trunk of the tree he was sitting upon cracked, and broke apart. It seems like whatever attack had torn it from the earth in the first place had completely hollowed out its insides, and the android that was sitting so peacefully atop of it now rested with his back sunken into the snow, though, that's when he noticed it.

Staring into the sky, he could see a humanoid figure whizz by in the air, flying away from the scene of the destruction he had been quietly witnessing. Heat didn't ruminate and ponder upon the meaning of their hasty departure for long, and simply assumed they were the cause, at least partially, for the scene he had just been quietly observing. The android didn't even bother to get off of the snow and clean himself off, and instead simply elevated himself off the ground with his ki flight, taking off after the figure he had seen zipping through the air, only deciding to lazily angle himself properly in the air when the cold air became a nuisance against his face, the icy wind biting at his lips and his nose. Still, he could clearly see some sort of figure just ahead of him, though he could only clearly tell it was a person at all once he flew close enough to them, staying airborne beside them as the mere sighting of this... woman(?) was enough to set off alarms in his internal systems, his white crosshair-pupils turning to a blood-red color as he took in their form. Two arms, two legs, one head... Heat frowned, staring at the person beside him in awkward silence as he flew beside them. His animosity towards their appearance being enough for him to not even notice how he couldn't sense any form of energy signature coming off of them.
