[VIDEO]
[The video feed, when it clicks on, is a bit chaotic, the picture jerking about roughly. What landscape that can be discerned in the image, however, seems to be near the border of the badlands. Something large, mechanical, and sharp suddenly slashes into the frame and then back out again, like a weapon being thrust toward the camera.]
AAhhhhh! Cease and desist at once, you arachnid annoyance!
[Perceptor briefly flails into view for a moment, looking a bit flustered, before he ducks out of view again under another swipe of that weapon. Or rather, not a weapon, as the view shifts wildly to pan across a massive robotic spider with very large fangs lowered threateningly toward the camera.]
[As the view swings wildly again, there are muffled thuds and thumps and the thick clang of metal against metal that seem to hint at an epic struggle. Perceptor looks much more harried when he bounces into view again.]
I, ah, seem to have stumbled into a bit of an inconvenience... wherever this location is. If anyone is nearby, assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[There is an odd, almost liquid sound that splatters into the feed, and a sudden yelp from Perceptor as a stream of thick, greyish goop blasts past his head.]
As soon as possible?

[action]
[The spider grabs the edge of the sudden hole under it with a couple of it's front legs, preventing it from tumbling away completely, but it's clearly losing ground against gravity, if the scrabling noises are anything to judge by.]
Are you capable of forcing the hole to close around and over it once again?
[Perceptor shoots his blaster at where those legs are bracing the spider, knocking them loose. There's a loud hissing shriek of anger as the spider begins to slide down the hole.]
Re: [action]
[And Korra quickly bent the earth close around and over the spider thing as it slid after the guy had blasted its legs. Naga gave an encouraging bark.]
[action]
Remarkable! How is it that you are capable of manipulating the matter around you in such a way?
[He scratches absently at a patch of spider-spit as he crouches down beside her, staring at her with bald fascination.]
Re: [action]
Where I'm from, we call that kinda manipulation 'bending.' [She frowned.] I go through martial movements to bend the earth, but I never thought about...how that works exactly, or where bending comes from.
