Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 5

yeah, why?

Tell me about this Rebellion you all were apart of. If that's ok, i mean. I don't want to open old scars.

I don't have any scars on me, so... I'm fine.

And it wasn't much actually, I didn't take part in it as much as the other two, I snuck out of it but I ended up being drafted by the Spartan program and well, then I went AWOL...

Wait, how old were you when this happened? I thought Spartans were old selected at about age 5 or 6.

I was drafted at 9, but 3 and 1/2 years of being in the resistance.

Huh, I didn't think it would work if you were any older than 5. Guess that theory was wrong.

=i see a warthog off in the distance, i think=
I think I see them for real this time. Not sure though.

They don't give a shit how old you are now they'll take you if they want

Bout' time, I'm sick of this place...


Tar-Tun:

@Syaa, All cleaned up!

Well, the sooner we search, the sooner we are gone. Might as well, since we are here now.

me ok 5 mins till we arrive

syaa ok meet me at the other one i got a fun idea

Tar:

Oh-god

Ok...

=he heads to the other mess hall=

syaa relax here's what we're gonna do with others messhall after they're hosed down u can the scrub brushes on your feet and skate around cleaning it

Here's an idea! You can help!

=he gives a sarcastic smile=

All you have been doing is sitting around! How about this? Zeru finds us! He can manage!

now come on, I know your worried about zeru, so come have some "fun" Skating with me!

C'mon it'll be fun!

Allisia...?

Code:

Yes?

...Where is the Eirav Wing...?

Code:

...The Trophaeum, sir.

Motherfuck...

=He sighs=

Okay, is there any way you can set it to autopilot here?

Code:

Yes, but there are two main complications with that.

Go ahead.

Code:

The signal will take a very long time to reach, and the ship will take a very long time to get here.

Estimated time overall?

Code:

Anywhere from a few days to a month...

Dammit. Well, get on that. The sooner, the better.

Code:

Yes, sir.

=She sends the signal=

job-shmob, Let's go!

I'm sure they'll manage without you!

=Grabs her hand and pulls her into the mess hall=

Let's skate!

=picks up two scrub brushes and passes them to her=

=chucks them at his face splashing him before taking off=

keep dreaming hotshot

You think I'm hitting on you!?

I'm trying to keep your mind off work! What's wrong with that, huh!?

=walks after her=

(They had sat in almost complete silence on the way)
(He could see the crashed ship in the distance)
(He picked up the speed)
(They arrive)
(Draco helps Ash out of the passenger side and they walk up to where Dormii is standing)

@Dormii
Hey

well, there's no reason to fly off the handle just because I invited you to have fun!

=to Draco=
Hey, c'mon in. It's freaking freezing.

=i lead them into the ship, going through the comm room. i grab a portable comm unit and hand it to Ash=
Might as well.

=we start looking around=
Zeru and Scythe are heading towards the bridge, underground a ways. Where do you think survivors might be?

(As they are walking, memories begin to flood him)
(He remembers some of the places of the ship)

@Dormii
This ship...
Its...familiar...

Not really not in the mood? That's a double negative...

=i stop and turn=
What do you mean, familiar?

(They stop behind him)
(He continues to look around)

@Dormii
We have been on this ship before.
It is Nikolaus's ship

You mean, crazy doctor Nikolaus who I almost killed and knows just about everything? That Nikolaus?

=my eyebrows raise=

(He nods)
@Dormii
Exactly...

(Ash gives off a sigh)

=i sigh as well=
Well, that would explain why I want to kill something.

=i put my magnum away=
Any crew that you know of?

you know what? I tried to be nice, but i guess you don't care...

Hmm

@Dormii
Sangheili. Many Sangheili.

=i look in a room=
Well, that raises another question as to where are they?

=i open a comm to Zeru and Scythe=
Hey, Zeru, Scythe, you find any bodies yet?

Scythe: nope...

=i sigh again=
Well, that's something to ask Nik wherever he is. By the way, Draco, you got an sight filters or anything in that fishbowl of yours?

=i smile jokingly=

Tar:

=he yells at Syaa=

Fine Ignore me!


=in a lower tone, loud enough to hear though= God what a bitch, I'm just trying to keep everyone in a good mood...

(He smiles under his helmet)

@Dormii

I got Thermal.

=to Draco, half joking=
Seeing anything with that? I'm half tempted to fire a shot down this hall just to see what comes out. And to relieve some stress.

=syaa walks up and backhands him into a wall before heading to the bridge=

and i'm trying to keep the ship in working order and look for the others

(He flips on the thermal vision)
(Scanning)
(He shakes his head)

@Dormii
Confimed. Nothing.

(He looks around)

Jesus. Hated this place when it wasnt half destroyed.
Now...just even creepier

=i stop and lean on the wall, trying to clear my head=
So, how did you guys end up here? The first time, I mean.
