Chapter 5: Revelations of the Past

=i grab one side of the container= I'll help you get the containers loaded onto whatever transport you are using, but I want to stay here. I just need to be with Jay right now.

=i shake my head= I don't think she wants to go anywhere right now. Thank you, but not right now.

My name is as of now of no importance to you....mr. i'm twirling a scythe in an unsafe manner

=i look at him sternly=

ok then

=they load it onto a transport and he heads to the trophaeum=

=i walk back to the messhall and grab some food to eat. After eating a few pieces of beef looking things, i head back to the medbay to see Jay=

But? You're shield..?

=She looks down at the heavily modified jackal shield=
It saved your life..? How long have you had this thing..?

Don't worry I know what I'm doing, I'v been doing this for years... Anyways you got to admit this little weapon his pretty neat, modified it myself, ... What kind of Doctor?

=I stop twirling=

the doctoring kind.

(He looks at it and back at her)
@Ash
It has saved my life
I want it to save yours.
Your life is more important than that.

Draco..

=She continues to stare at the shield before holding it back out to Draco=
I'm sorry.. I can't...

=She looks away from him=

(He takes it back)
@Ash
Why.

(He reattaches the shield to his left arm)

=i walk back in to the Medbay to say Jay thinking about something again. She doesn't seem to notice me. i go over and lightly sit down next to her. i say softly= Hey, you ok?

Fine.

I wave absent-mindedly

You wanna talk? =i wait patiently=

Not after what I did... I don't... I shouldn't have them...

=She offers the hand cannon back as well=

No, it's fine.

I pull a half-smile

=after getting things stored away he has the trophaeum move into low orbit=

that should make things easier incase something bad happens

=i grab her hand in mine and smile slightly= Okay, if you are sure.

(He takes it back)
(Holstering it)
(He looks into her eyes)
@Ash
If you are certain.
I shall respect your wishes my love.

(They continue on)
(Catching up with the other two)

Very. Go help Zeru.

I gesture towards the nearby comm unit when his eyebrows raise quizzically

=She remains silent, not wanting to talk=
Where being made to run away like rats... Why can't we be seen as people..? Why always soldiers?

=Her eyes darken as she silently follows the others=

=i smile and shake my head= Should've known. I'll comm you when I'm done, okay? Maybe play cards or something afterwards.

=i wink at her and put the rest of my armor on= I'll see you in a few, meo amo. I love you.

=i put my helmet on and go outside, comming Zeru= Her, Zeru, you still need help?

yeah on the trophaeum hold on i'll decloak

=the trophaeum decloaks=

there should be a falcon in the hangar

=i hack into the falcon nav computer and remote pilot it down to where i am at. i hop in and pilot it back up to the Trophaeum. i land in the hanger and comm him again= Ok, where am I going?

=the group turns the corner and finds the hover craft piloted by a UU sangheili=

well here we are.

=i head up to the hallway behind the bridge, feeling memories kick in as I walk the halls again. Not memories of my teams or anything, but what had happened here. i come up to the hallway and meet Zeru= So, what's going on? What project is it?

(He looks at the Sangheili)
(In his head)
Frick.
Refrain.

(He walks up to it and holds out his hand for Ash)

where are we?

=I look around=

follow me

=as he says that a hidden door opens up and he heads inside and follows the passageway=

=i follow Zeru into the hallway= Well, this is new. How long has it been here?

=She walks over to him, still not saying anything she takes Draco's hand and forces a smile=

=I jump on and nod to the crewman, he nods back=

get on!

(He helps her on first, then himself sitting next to her)

=I follow onto the ship=

What is this!?

@scythe

have you never seen a hovercraft?

since i met u guys

=they arrive in a large area as they arive the lights turn on revealing the built fighter as well as another one almost done building=

this is what i wanted to show u

=She watches the elite in front of her quietly=
How is he so connected with the Elites..? They never normally deal with humans at all...

No I've seen them I was asking what kind this was...

Hey Doctor-guy, I have a question, Where'd you get this?

=i stare at it, running my hand down the side= Okay, so it's a fighter, what can it do?

It's not mine, its the UU's.

=to the elite pilot=

ii

=to everyone, including david who is now sitting on the hover-craft=

sit tight, and hold on.

=I move to the front to talk to the elite=

(He looks over at her and gives a reassuring smile)

Hey Draco!?

=I look at him=

(He looks over at Scythe)
@Scythe
What

Holy shit. Like the gods' own personal fists. I like it. Got a name for them?

=i turn to look at him=

Think you could tell me where I can find him?

=I take out the picture again=

=Ash silently stares at the picture, she remembers Immer on the ground bleeding=
Immer..? Why..? What happened...

=She stares off into blank space=

(He looks at the picture)
@Scythe
