Located to the north of Element City, an industrial area known as The Heap makes its home. An early addition to Electopia's network, the Heap suffers some from poor planning, causing its roads to be small and its alleys plentiful. A functional maze of a town, the Heap manages to stay around providing many raw and processed materials to the other areas as well as managing the human's industrial endeavors as well. The Heap also features a thriving community looking to build and test new battlechips and "plug and play" navi armaments. On the outskirts, what looks to be a volcano sits, smoking from the top. Built into the side of this towering mass of magma sits a large complex, known as the Hygen Reactor, which supplies the area's heat generated power sources and supplements the Power Plant in The Current. Mostly inhabited by Fire navis, many navis which use predominately stone, metal, and break elements find themselves comfortable here as well.
In the Heap on the outskirts is a Navi in red and gray with a kind of construction helmet on his head as he used his pickaxe on the ground. He dug deep into the ground trying to find any sort of treasure he could find. He was covered in dirt and smiled loving this as he looked around the dirt under it all his little tunnel he made.

Baxter
{Appearance}His loose blue parachute pants covering the black boots beneath and held up by a large black belt with gold buckle. He wears a black t-shirt under a blue sleeveless vest and to literally top off the ensemble a sideways blue baseball cap that reads "Let's Go!" in bright red with purple border.
*pant pant pant* A youthful navi plops onto the ground at the edge of the diggers tunnel. Yo. *pant* It's ya boi *pant* Baxter... He attempts to make a hand gesture, but is too tired. You seen a Candevil 'round here? Bout 3ft tall, white.. red eyes. He shouts down the shaft.

Meanwhile as the two navis met, Asymptote was busy in his own way. His fist crashing through a cyber boulder not too far away from where Mechaman and Baxter were. Shards of rock raining down from right outside of Mecha's tunnel, but dissipating into fragmented data as soon as they hit the ground. Asymptote let out a pant of exhaustion as he reared back his arms for another one to come down. But it did not.
"Alright Asymptote, I think that's all we got for today. Take a break and we'll call your operator if we need anything else. Good work today, we sent today's funds to Joseph." A voice from a loudspeaker not far from where Asymptote had been at. Alright then. Good. Wasn't sure if I had much more in me for today. Been a good workout. Asymptote would comment, rolling his shoulders. "We don't get many navis of your bulk and strength Asymptote, that's why we keep you guys and girls on call just in case we get any more of those big boulders we fish up from the lava. But you're one of the first we think of, so be proud of that." The voice responded before cutting out.
Asymptote sighed as he flexed his fingers, despite his form, he'd still rather be crunching numbers, not boulders and giant rock cubes. At least he wasn't being prosecuted for his...form. Guess word traveled around over the last few days of his fight in the Net City Colosseum. But regardless, he was about to jack out before seeing Baxter down below, seeing the navi, he raised an eyebrow and quickly climbed down from his perch. Landing with a loud thud near the navi poking his head in the tunnel. Anything I can help ya with? We don't usually allow civilians around this area, last I checked.

It wasn't long before the sound of claws scraping rocks could be heard. "GET BACK HERE YOU!" followed by some other shouting could be heard echoing in the distance and drawing near. Suddenly, out of a nearby tunnel, a purple colored humanoid dragon jumped out and seemingly tried to tackle a virus, which promptly avoided by stepping on the dragon's head and scurrying in a different direction. Thorn growled, getting up and dusting himself off.
"You are so lucky I am not allowed to use my full powers here or you'd be swimming in poison." He muttered, before noticing that he was not alone. "Oh. Looks who's here..."

Baxter
The bulky navi rumbles the ground, popping Baxter into the air a few inches. My man you are a large man, man. but yeah I'm huntin my lil devil of a can....devil. Yeah. Baxter rambled, his breath and stamina quickly restoring itself.
He's about 3ft ta- As he begins restating the description he hears the shouts of another nearby and a thud of a missed tackle. From the ensuing dustcloud a small candevil virus popped out and into the air. It's milky white form sloshing to the ground in a flump and quickly reshaping into a scurry way from the group.
Baxter jumps up to the his feet and calls out to the purple navi. Yo man that ain't how you catch a virus! but since you're looking for em too have you seen white candevil with red eyes around here?!

Mechaman was busy working away as he heard some yelling and proceeded to climb but then felt a few clumps of rock fall down disapating as they hit. He would feel rumbles and more yelling as he poked his head out sounding a bit Russian in accent as he said "What in the Nav is happening?"
(The word Nav was a name for the Slavonic or Russian underworld, ruled by the god Veles.)

Thorn turned his muzzle at the squabbling voice telling him about viruses and catching. "Hmpf, try catching one of those annoying brats without using any of your abilities. We'll see how that treats ya."
He would then blink at the guy and end up with a smug grin on his face as well. "Oh oh. Seems like I am not the only one unable to catch a virus. I could almost call it hypocritical. Anyway, name's Thorn. As per the candevil...I'm afraid it's not here. Might want to search elsewhere."

Asymptote blunk as he saw thorn burst out of a nearby tunnel, trying to chase after yet another virus as he comically missed grabbing it, tumbling to the ground and getting back up just the same. Oh, hey Thorn. Asymptote simply said, before turning to Baxter. Haven't seen a white candevil around here. It's probably somewhere in the area. Asymptote would begin before turning to Mechaman in turn.
Couple of civvies. One's looking for a virus, the other was chasing after one...which I think matched the first's description. You don't see many white Candevils around unless you buy 'em from the breeder. Asymptote would respond, "thoughtfully" stroking his metal chin, before seeing a white blob scurrying around the area, as if in panic. Asymptote would simply, and gently, grab Baxter's head between his thumb and forefinger and turn him towards the scurrying blob. That yer virus?

Baxter
Yo, that's cold do-... lizard. It ain't that I can't catch em and more I can't find 'em! Totally different ski- *ack*! The vulcan head pinch caught him off guard, instinctively going limp to defend himself like a man does a bear... minus the peeing.
The scurrying blob bobbed and weaved around the loose rock and stonework. My metal man... Baxter squints That looks like my little man! BELARUS!
The scurrying virus abruptly stops and turns to the group, skidding and tripping over a rock and tumbling down deep into a random mineshaft.

"Hey As-" Thorn zipped past the group faster than anyone there could and dived once again to grab hold of the falling virus. Thanks to his clawed feet planted in the ground he would not run the risk of sliding down the shaft...too soon.
"Gotcha ya little bugger, are you trying to kill us or something? Well to be honest this is the closest any virus has ever come to killing me."
He turned his head to the group. "HOI! Little help here? I'm losing grip. And don't you dare grab my tail!"

Asymptote beamed as Baxter noticed the virus almost immediately, unfortunately, he almost got himself killed by tumbling into one of the mineshafts nearby. Thankful for the Darkloid's assistance, asymptote would let go of Baxter's head and immediately run towards Thorn, causing several quakes on his way, but that's the problem with having such a giant body he supposed. But it did come in handy.
Grasping Thorn by both ankles and pulling the navi up from the mineshaft in the ground with little difficulty, along with the candevil (he was most assuredly going to find out who left the mineshaft without any warning signs and give them an ass kicking later) and having him dangle above solid ground. Navi meeting his friend's face, Asymptote could only chuckle. We REALLY have to stop meeting like this, Thorn. He chuckled before letting both down to the ground and laying Thorn out like a pelt before letting him go.

Mechaman nodded hearing the explanation from Asymptote before seeing the insanity that happens next trying to back away from it all feeling he'll never get anything done if this keeps up over a simple virus. "Who are all of you navis?"

Baxter
The virus squirmed and wriggled along the ground before abruptly stopping again, this time there was no skid. Just a dead stop as if frozen. 15 paces away is Baxter running towards it with one arm outstretched.
Y'know I hate doin' that man. You been actin weird ever since we gat here!... Wait He pauses as he gets within arms reach of the petrified candle virus. Yo this ain't my Belarus. His color is all wrong n his codin's generic too!
The youngster eases his hand and the virus resumes its motions, momentum and all carrying it. It shifts and darts away from the group once more. but I bet it might know where my main man is!
It's ya boi Baxter! Virus tamer and researcher extraordinaire! My boy Belarus n I are here on academic mattas. Got files n all for it y'know? Here to learn why all the candevils in this network are white. Odd colorin' yeah? I tinkered my main wick to fit in and look the part. Dude must be deep undercover. Yeeeeah... Baxter rubs his hairless chin. Gonna tail this one. Thanks yo. He pats Asymptote's knee, as that's all he can reach.
Baxter then pursues the virus at a stealthy pace, ducking behind boulders and trying to let the creature ease up, trailing it to see where it leads him.

Thorn would chuckle at his friend's witty remarks, thanking the heavens he didn't fall down. Once he had been settled down, the draconic navi joined the group by coiling himself around Asymtote's body. From their previous meetings, he knew the big guy didn't mind the contact and actually enjoyed the company.

Asymptote was promptly curled up around by his friend's body, the navi chuckling as the virus ran off along with Baxter. Bah. Not even the right virus. Doesn't help that they all look the same usually. Asymptote mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head.
Oh, right, introductions. I'm Asymptote.exe, Normal Navi turned...well...Frankenstein's Monster, I suppose. Asymptote began as he stretched. This here's Thorn. A navi I met not too horribly long ago. From what I can tell, he's pretty strong. And kinda-sorta has a bit of a story with him. Like me. Asymptote continued, letting out a sigh. Anyways, got off work breaking down those Rockcubes and Boulders that get drug up from the lava, something about keeping the inner crater clean of debris or something. Decent change to help my netop live on while he's currently unemployed.
