Chapter 6: Complications

=I wrap a new bandage around my leg and take a crutch=

=I begin to follow Dormii and everyone else=

=i nod to Draco walk over=
Okay, well, as you might have guessed, this is the Medbay. Basically, just about anything can be patched up here.

=i gesture to follow me=
C'mon.

=They both follow him=

=as we go, i point out different sections of the ship=
Engineering, Living Quarters, Communications.

=we come across a slightly redder hallway, the stench of blood is here=
Oh, great, I was hoping to forget this place.

=Lori looks=

Lori- What happened here?

=I sigh, but keep quiet when I see the hallway=

Well, I almost bled to death, all this slight redness, that's leftovers from me. I thought Zeru would've been able to get it all out.

(Justin) " Lets sit down here, we have been up all day"

=The squad sits down against a wall and rests=

=Xazhi stands quietly=

And I had to save you.. again..

=I lean against the wall=

=i sigh=
Yes, Snow, you did. That was when I thought you could still be trusted. Okay, moving on from that horrible memory, we have more hallways.

=we start walking again=

=I chuckle=

You never trusted me.

I thought you could be, never did. Now, do you want to revisit your old home, the cell block? If you do, keep talking.

=I chuckle again and retract my smile=
=I think of my former cellmate, the female Spartan...=

(He finds their room)
(He opens the door)
(Looking around he steps in)
(He sets up the room)
(He took off his armor and sat on the bed)

Hate this place

(He remembers the day Ash had gone crazy)
(He remembers the day she had left)
(His battle with Torres's clone)

=we keep walking=
Good.

=to Lori=
So, since I've run out of things to show you, tell me about yourself.

Tar-tun:

= he wakes up on the floor=

Ugh... Drool glad I'm in my own room.... I really need to see someone about this...




1000 posts!!!!

(He lays down)
(The dogtags clang together)
(The sound echoes in the room)
(His mind clearing)

Why...why did I see those visions

(He sighs)

What does it mean

(Hope appears)

Hope-You are blaming yourself for her leaving

Dante-Why would I do that

Hope-Because you are unsure

=She looks at her feet=

Lori- Im just a freedom fighter. Nothing special about me...

So? Everyone's different. C'mon, tell me. Please?

=I watch the woman=

Lies, obviously hiding something..

=Xazhi glares at her=

Xazhi- Go on, tell him who you really are.

(He looks at her)

Dante-About what

Hope-The events that had unfolded

Dante-That fight?

(He stands and walks up to her)

Hope-Yes

Dante-She said it was okay

Hope-Your mind is rejecting that, showing you these visions

C'mon, I won't judge. I'm only worried about who you are, and what you do to me or my friends.

=i look at her=

Dante-How do you know this

Hope-Well...since I am one fourth of your mind. I should know.

Dante-Right...

(She disappears and he heads to the bed)
(He sighs)

Lori- I... im nobody... Really, im just a soldier... Please, I... Im nobody...

Hey, we are all soldiers. That's nothing new. Who are you? Here. =i point to her heart=

The only shame one should feel is the one they place upon themselves. I won't care what it is, whatever it is.

=i look over at Xazhi=
Don't worry about him.

=I become impatient=

Miss, please tell us.

=She backs away=

Lori- Im no one! Really!

=She accidently backs into Xazhi. He whipers to her=

Xazhi- Dormii wont always be here to protect you. Id watch my step if i were you...

=Her eyes widen as Xazhi shoves her away back to Snow=

=I grab her before she hits me=

That was uncalled for, Xazhi...

=I turn the woman around=

Now. Tell me who you really are.

=to Snow=
Snow, she doesn't want to tell us. Leave her be.

=to Lori=
I'm sorry, usually people have better manners.

=She says to both of them=

Lori- Im not hiding anything! Im nobody...!

=She gets very defensive and looks away from them. She pulls her hood over her head=

=I put on the flash up the darkened screen on my visor and sigh=

=i walk over to her=
It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to tell us. I was just asking.

=i put my hand in her shoulder=
C'mon, let's go find some quarters for you.


=we start walking=

=They come to a room and she sets her stuff down. Dormii goes out into the hall as she goes to sleep. Xazhi finds his room from his breif stay aboard the Tropaeum and takes a nap=

=I hobble back to the Medbay=

This is my home...

=is going over the data for the new armor=

almost done it's capabilities are better then ithe one before it

=I stand back up and start to walk through familiar parts of the ship=

=Dormii's room... Jay's room... Ash's room...=

(He stands, grabbing the pistol and holstering it)
(He opens the door and sees Snow)

=I stop in front of Draco=

Hello...

(He looks at him)

@Snow
Hey. Where are you heading off to.

No where.. just.. limping around..

=I look down at my leg=

(He looks down the hall)

@Snow

Right.

(He steps out)

Im going to the messhall

(He starts to go)

You can join

(He turns back around to face Snow. His eyes flicker white, then turn to red)

If you want.

Why not...

=I follow him=

Haven't eaten in a while..

(They walk)

@Snow

Tell me about Lori.
She seemed kind of...off

=I shrug my good shoulder=

That is what I thought... but she seems to be hiding something... She is a Freedom Fighter, come to collect a bounty? Something is not right.

@Snow

Interesting.

(They enter the messhall)
(He walks over to the counter and takes some food)
(He takes a seat and begins to eat)

=I grab an apple and some water=

So.. where is Ash...?

(His eyes go dark)

@Snow

Searching. For her family.

(He continues eating)

=I take a drink of water and fill the rest into my canteen=

That.. that is nice...

=I throw the apple into my bag=

When is she coming back...?
