Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 3

=i walk over to the hole and sit down. to Draco=
Talk?

"SSgt Damian Knox, have to speak to a prisoner, guess the one responsible for making the body bags up top."

Just take me to your messhall... Or wherever you were going to take me..

=She sighs as she walks closer to Snow=
Just get me out of here...

=She looks at the marines, and then to Dormii's cell=
I'm so sorry Dormii... I really am..

=I look at Ash=

Yes, Ma'am.

=I look at the Marines and I knock on the door containing Dormii=

=Me and Ash begin to walk to the mess hall=

=She turns to Snow=
Who are those marines?

=She looks down the hall returning to her thoughts=
Will they let us go now..? Will they let us live..?

(He walks over to the hole)
@Dormii
About what.

=I shrug=
Beats me, my guess is replacements. If they are, what was quick..

=I chuckle a bit=

=to Draco=
Well, how is Ash holding up? This whole thing with Jay, and ONI, and these cells...it can't be doing anything good for her.

I knock on the cell door. "I guess you are the prisoner responsible for the body bags up top? My command wants me to talk to you."

=She turns to Snow confused=
Why are you laughing...?

=She drops her head=
Replacements...? This could be bad...

(He sighs)
@Dormii

Its not.
I can tell.

=to the person who knocked=
About what? That they fucked up when they made me and now they are taking their penalty?

=to Draco=
Anything I can help with, Draco?

=I straighten up=

Ehh.. nevermind..

=We reach the mess hall and I grab a cup of coffee=

Help yourself.

(He shakes his head)
@Dormii
There is nothing we can do.
Follow Jays plan?
I can hardly trust after what she said. Let alone Ash.
Try to completely escape, again. Wont solve anything.

"Probably, I know how those egg heads at O.N.I are, I don't know much info, just want me to get you to think straight. I'm not here to get you to kill motherfuckers, here to get you sorted out. You got me brother?"

=i chuckle=
It's the best plan I've heard so far. If there is a chance of getting out of this without bloodshed...

=i take a deep breath=
You gotta take it.

=to the person=
I'm not your brother. No family wants me in it. And there isn't a whole lot you can do to fix this mind.

=She looks around no tired to eat=
I'm not hungry... I just wanted to get out of that cell...

=She heads for a seat, sitting down dropping her head=
Maybe some space will help me think...

(He smiles as he remembers his proposal)
@Dormii
The bad thing is.
Just before we were taken.
I asked Ash to marry me.

(His smile gets bigger)
She said yes

(His smile fades)
Then he came and ruined it all.

"You sure? Cause I'm pretty sure your talking to your friend over there like he was family. And hey, I might as well try right?"

Of course, Ash. Take all the time you need.

=I begin to sip my coffee and waiting=

=to Knox= He may be, as close as it can be, but that doesn't mean he wants me in it.

=to Draco= Congratulations. You want someone to marry you to together? I'll be happy to do it.

=i put part of my hand through the wall, to congratulate him=

(He sighs)
(Shaking his head)
@Dormii
How would we do it.
Even if we do.
I want you to be the best man.

(He looks back out to the door)

"And why do you think that?"

=She looks up at Snow=
You seem very lax for a prison guard... Especially since you Colonel was just killed by someone your supposed to be controlling..

=She sighs, returning to her thoughts=
I wonder what they will do to you...?

=i pull my hand back through=
Hey, it doesn't matter. My religion says that marriage is a promise, but you do not have to have any fancy parties or ceremonies. As long as the two being married love each other, the world will see and rejoice with them. And it would be my honor to be the best man.

=to Knox=
You don't know me, marine. The things I've seen, the things I've done...

=finishes up all the major repairs and has the ship start on the minor damages sustained=

looks like it's time to get started

=heads to the outpost in the koga and after landing he heads to the main data banks and starts downloading it and has that's going on he looks around before he taks everything of use from the base and calling for a transport which he loads and sends back=

damm outdated sytems such a pain to download from in the end this data's worth it

=I sigh=

Accidents happen.

=I take another sip of my coffee=

So does death.

(He sits down and puts his head against the wall)

Nothing can go as planned

=She laughs to herself=
An accident? Is that your excuse? Do you really think they are going to let you off so lightly?

=She sinks back into her seat, brushing her hair behind her ear=

Hey, it wasn't my prisoner. I was just the escortee and guard.

=I take another sip=

It is Jay's prisoner. The Colonel's fault for not getting authorization. In my opinion, the Colonel deserved it.

=She stares into Snows eyes=
No one deserves death...

=She leans forward, whispering to Snow=
Did you know about her..? Jay I mean...

"And what have you seen, and done?"

=I try to keep my cool when Ash stares my eyes=

Actually.. no... I ran into her in the halls.

=I chuckle=

I was about to arrest her, until I found out that.. she was ONI...

=I look down at the table=

=to Knox=
You ever hear of Dormii Fortuni? The Spartan the killed off an entire frigate by himself? You're talking to him.

=She continues to stare into his eyes=
So you talked to her.. Did she act differently..?

Was it all lies..? Did she ever care..? She used as all...

=She breaks eye contact with Snow=
It doesn't matter... What's the point...

=I shrug=

Well, she was undercover. She would act different.. she just kept pulling rank on me..

=I sip my coffee again=

"Huh, no shit, ya, I was one of the men that had to respond to that. I remember everyone you killed, I knew most of them. You don't think I'm scarred from that to Spartan? Hell yes I am, I see there faces all the time, I don't let it get to me tho. You shouldn't let it get to you either if that's your problem. And hell, I've killed my own share of people, as I said, I don't let it get to me."

=She turns her head intrigued=
Pulling rank..? Really...? I never thought the Jay I knew would do that...

=She sighs again thinking back to the moment Snow shot her=
Can I ask you something..? Why the hell did you shoot me..?

Well, imagine if you didn't want to. Imagine killing all of those people, all while begging for them to just drop their weapons and stop. And you know what? I don't think that was the only thing. I think I've done more, more that I'm not aware of. Hell, earlier, those men that I killed, I didn't want to do that. I just wanted to live in peace, and they were going to haul me off to the firing line, all because that ship retaliated for something I had no control over.

=My face turned blank=

Well.. we needed you alive...

=I clear my throat=

I was sure that Dormii.. was going to get.. a death sentence anyway. I decided to shoot him.

=I shift positions=

I didn't really want to kill you anyway.. so I shot you in the leg to disable you..

=I scratch the back of my head=

Sorry...

"Peace? Isn't that what we all want Spartan? I would love to give you your peace, but guess what? It ain't happening, it never will, I'm sorry to say that, but really. Your a Spartan, thus you have to kill, now you don't want to. Which I get, but guess who does want you to kill? Those people with the Stars, and they won't let you have it." I sigh. "Listen Spartan, if I can get you off this ship, will you be happy?"

Only if someone else comes with. But she won't say yes.

=i sigh= Look, I know you are trying to help, and I thank you for it, but there just isn't anything you can do.

"Hey, what I'm here for man. I'm going to talk to that ODST that left earlier. If you need me, I'll be here for awhile." Me and my men start to walk off.

=i call out to them as they leave=
Hey, if you find a Spartan Jay, tell her I want to talk.

=She speaks in more aggressive tone=
So... You had this all planned out... Why wait? Why wait for us in the hotel room..?

=Her eyes darken to that moment the chaos of that fight=

=I tense up a bit=

I had to wait until you both were alone. Unfortunately that Scythe character showed up.

"I'll make sure to." I walk off to the mess hall

=She laughs to herself=
Put a dent in your plan did he? Can I ask you something..? How do you do it..?

=I seemed puzzled=

What do you mean?

=I finish my Coffee and put my helmet back on=

=She looks back at him confused=
You must know what I mean right? How do you do it..? How can you turn on people that trust you..?

=She glances round the room, before looking back at Snow=
