Chapter 4: Exodus Part 5

(He grabs his helmet and puts it on)
(The light shining on the Skull Design on his helmet)

@Sophia
Nice to meet you as well.

(He turns to Ash)
(Smiling under the helmet)
@Ash
Of course my dear

=Sophia=

no, I just was busy earlier, now i have some free time, and i decided to meet the new arrivals, so there, nice to meet you, should ever get lost on the ship, just call out my name, and i'll guide yo uthrough the ship.

=I curl up in the corner and close my eyes tight, afraid of what I am seeing. My skin is covered in the carvings, as are the walls=

Gods make it stop. Please make it stop! Stop! Please stop!

=He lays back down=

Voutan- Well, i think i should probably rest and recouperate from the crash. G'night...

=He dozes off=

=She rolls her eyes=
That would have been helpful before...

=She quickly fixes her hair then nods at Draco=
I'm ready...

=She looks to the AI again=
Do you know anything about this shore leave..?

wow he fell asleep fast

=looks back at Aura and tilts his head=

David looks to the bar and notices an empty seat next to Nikolaus, taling said seat. "Didn't tell me we were taking a road trip."

=sophia=
Nikolaus is on a mission, of some sorts, i'm sure you'll him running about, by the way, my name is Sophia, just call my name and i'll appear! bye! have fun!

= I look over at david=

haha, no, no i didn't. drink?

(He nods)
(Taking her hand)
@Ash
Looks like the vacation continues.

=She laughs looking at the door=
You first...

(They go out the door)
(Travelling the hallways)

=She takes her clothes and backpack and leaves the room, motioning that Teirtun should let Voutain rest. She heads into the courtyard and into the forest=

=They come closer to the hanger, Ash looks up at Draco=
Will you be okay with this..?

= walks out following Aura=

Where are you going?

seriously Tar, you know she doesn't understand you!

......

(He looks at her)
@Ash
Of course I will.

(They enter the hanger, seeing the Transport Phantom)
(He looks over the the Pelican and sighs)
Oh well

=She finds a small pond, drops her clothes, and dives in and swims around for a while, not even noticing that Teirtun has followed her. She is finding the atmosphere progressivly easier to breathe, as if she is meant to=

=She stares at the Phantom=
I hope we can trust these guys...

=She looks back to Draco holding his hand=
Lets go... Their not going to wait all day...

=They walk closer to the Phantom=

(They hop into the Phantom)
(Sitting next to each other)
(He keeps looking at the Sangheili)
(The same Sangheili's he would kill if they were enemies)

=his face turns a deep red=

she just took off her clothes...

uh....

=sits down on the beach facing the opposite direction of the water=

It's not proper to look...

really Tar, you aren't?

=She sees him sitting on the waters edge, facing away. She splashes water at him and smiles. She waves at him to come swimming=

=She grabs his hand squeezing it=
What do you want to do in the city..? I haven't been on shore leave for so long...

(He smiles)
@Ash
See the sights.
Be with you.

(He takes off his helmet)
(The Phantom begins to leave)

=his face turns redder =

C'mon Tar, go for it

=takes off his armor and all clothes but his shorts off=

i hope the water isn't cold...

=we walks into the water and swims a bit out=

"What the hell. Single-malt Scotch, please." He smirks. "So whatre we doing here?"

the Pilot turns arounda t dracos comment, chuckles and tarts the phantom to the city=

=She grabs his arm and smims down to the bottem and picks up a rock before swimming back to the top, as if motioning to play a swimming game. She drops the rock back to the bottem and swims back down after it=

= he tries to get the jest of the kind of figuring it out as he goes=

she's easily amused isn't she, Tar?

=swims down to the bottom=

ha! this is actually really fun!

=Ash stares at the pilot=
What's his deal...

=She looks back to Draco=
I've never even heard of this place... When the Thor took shore leave, half the crew would come back drunk.... imagine plotting slip space coordinates with a hangover

=She smiles jokingly=

=She swims down to the bottem of the part of the lake next to the cliff. She sees something farmilliar in shape and size, but its covered in lake moss. She swims back up and motions for Teirtun to help her bring it back up=

=I look at david=

well, you know the note i got back in the 50's room, this business here regards the note

(He chuckles)
@Ash
Probably didnt go so well

(He smiles and squeezes her hand)

=he swims to the bottom with her to grab the the item=

what's this?

=She laughs and looks around the Phantom=
I never thought I would ride inside of one of theses...

=She turns back to Draco=
I just realised we haven't got any money...

=They fight to bring the heavy object to the surface and to the shore. She wipes away some of the moss, revealing a very old-looking set of EOD MJOLNIR armor=

=looks at the really old armor, then to Aura=
(face turns red again)

umm.... Aura?

=taps on her shoulder then points at her clothes =

wow this armor is really old...

Hmm.

@Ash
Well, that sucks.
probably should have thought of that.
Oh well

=The Phantom arrives at the dock, the pilot gets out of the seat and gestures to the side of the door, where several cards are located=
take one, that's how you pay for whatever it is you need, or want. the phantom here will be parked. just comm the ship if you want to go back

=the pilot gets off the phantom, taking a card leaving several for the others on the phantom=

=She looks down at the card=
I guess were in luck...

=She looks back to the Elite=
Thanks for the ride...

=She brushes his hand away. she stands up and puts on the helmet, tapping the side to see if it comes online=

= the elite mmbles something inaudible, and disappears=

(nosebleed)

Why would such an old set of armor still work?

man, this girl is killing me...

It seems outdated...

"I know that, what was on yhe note?"

=She tries puts the rest of the armor on, but has trouble. The armor seems to have been some sort of prototype meant for younger spartans. She tries to take it back off, but parts of it get stuck. She gestures for Teirtun to help her=

(He takes a card)
(Turning to the Sangheili)
Thank you.

(He places the card into his supply pouch)
(He looks around)

Hmm

@Ash
Well, where do you want to go first

=talking to David=

It was a mission, I work for a group called the Black Hand, an information group of sorts, they send people out to get information, and sometimes, remove people.

=sipping my beer, the Bartender brings davids drink over=

some people here are loyal to them, they have caches all over the city. ONI knows nothing about them, an dahs no information concerning them.

uhh....

Get your ass in there Tar and help the poor lady!

=he walks to Aura and tries pulling some of the armor off=

=She looks at the skyline scattered with buildings=
To be honest... I have no idea...

=She grabs Draco's hand holding it=

=After finally getting the armor off, she sits on the ground for a moment with Teirtun before leaning over and wiping a bit of blood from under his nose. She goes over to her bag and grabs a peice of cloth for him=

Hmm.

@Ash
Wanna go to the pub?
Just you know hang out?
