Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 3

=I see Dormii=

Hey, hey, hey, whoa. Where are you going?

=I stuff the note into my pocket=

=i don't look at Snow as I keep walking=
Anywhere. Just looking around, remembering things.

=He looks up at Dormii=

Xazhi- Hey there, buddy. Goin for a walk?

=He turns back to whatever it was he was doing=

=I catch up to him=

You are lucky I am letting you tour the place.

=I put the pen in one of my empty pistol clip bandoleers=

But you have been good lately.

=I give a little smile=

=I keep walking, but answer the other Spartan=
Pretty much.

=We walk past him and I whisper to Dormii=

I don't like that character.. he seems strange.

=We continue to walk on=

=i don't look at him, but i whisper back=
How so?

=He looks over to Snow and Dormii as they walk by. He gets up off the wall and activates his PAC and PTC before going off to explore the ship in the oposite direction=

=I try to explain=

I have never heard of his battalion. He was at the hotel that Ash and Draco were at. He suddenly appears on this ship.

=I hold out my hands=

You don't think that is strange?

It is strange. Who is he?

His name is.. umm.. Jack.. Weidleman... or some shit like that.

=I look back to make sure he isn't following us=

I sigh and look the AI right in the face

So your just gonna stay around here then. Not got anything else to do.

Code:

You know full well i can do all my duties and still stay here talking to you.

Yes, unfortunately.

Code:

I thought you enjoyed my company

I do.

Code:

Just your day affecting you again

I guess what Ash said really shook me up.

Code:

She does seem to hate you right now

Thanks for putting it in perspective Night.

Code:

Any time Jay. Chess?

You know you've already won before we play.

Code:

True, although you do almost beat me this time.

And if i deny the opportunity to play chess with you? Then that changes what you have seen.

Code:

 I don't think so. The allure is too great

I sigh again

Your right. And i do need something to take my mind off of things. Pull it up then

Code:

Right away

We sit there and begin to while away the hours playing the chess.

=without looking, i notice his fear=
Scared of him?

Well he did decapitate Voutan..

=I continue to walk in silence=

I don't see how a person could do that...

=i shrug=
Some people don't have the proper Filters. Sometimes, the Horrors get to them, it happens.

=I turn to face forward and go silent..=

Wait.. where are we going?

=i shrug=
No idea. Around the ship, really. Just looking.

=we turn the corner and end up in the offices section=

You seem kind of mellow.. What's the deal?

=I follow his lead=

I regained my memories, the ones blocked out by ONI. I remember everything, my childhood, my family, growing up in the Spartan program, everything.

I don't know whether that is good or bad... It seems like that Spartan program was a bitch

It was. Flamethrowers spewed fire over our heads as we crawled under barbed wire. You didn't eat anything but MRE's if you didn't win. Electrified baton were your reward if you quit. All that to children.

=i shake my head=
It seems to me like my squad got the worst.

=I keep that in mind=

Anything else? Did you eat Napalm for breakfast?

=i smile jokingly=
Only on Fridays.

=we keep walking through the area=

=I become silent=

It seemed like hell.. and I am putting Ash through it..

=i notice his silence as we walk past empty offices=
Cmon, what's on your mind? What did you do to Ash and Draco in rehabilitation?

I can't tell you that..

=I look away as my mind wonders=

Who am I going to tell? My cell wall? Besides, they'll tell me sooner or later.

=i look at him for the first time=
Cmon, tell me.

=I sigh=

Very well..

=I begin to explain=

Well, I kind of had to wing it through the beginning. I started off with 200 push ups in 5 minutes, they couldn't finish in time. Physical abuse was administered...

Wait, wait, wait, wait...you HIT them? =i stop and turn to face him, my arms crossing= You do realize they are going to hate you even more now, right? And you don't have the protection of being years older and stronger, or being scary.

=I stop=

Yes, I do realize this.. You won't believe how frightened I am.

I pop my head out from a room further down from Dormii and Snow.

No but he is under my protection. They touch him and they answer to me.

Code:

Chess Jay.

I pull my head back in.

I know i know. I doing it.

=i nod to Jay=

=to Snow= I don't blame you...

=i sigh= What else?

Well, then I made them crawl through barbed wire. Machine guns firing, bombs exploding.

=I begin to walk down the hall again=

=i stop him=
Here's good.

Real bombs? Real bullets?

=I turn to him=

Well, not at first. Until Jay ordered me to load live rounds.

=i look her way=
Jay, seriously?! You could've killed them!

=i turn back=What else?

They had to climb a wooden wall, with bullets still firing at them and Sprint into a minefield.

=I turn the other way and slowly begin walking=

I wave my hand around the corner

Had to be done.

=i walk over to her office and lean against the frame, a slight smile on my face=
Really? Did it really have to be done? And mines? On a ship?

=I follow Dormii=

Well.. that was rude.

=to Snow= Hey, you wanted to come along with me.
