Chapter 6: Complications part 2

Honor to meet you, Zeru.

=I go to the Medbay to see Justin dead.. or sleeping.. either one, who cares=

=I sit down in the corner=

Well, I'll let you two continue the tour. I'm going back down to the planet to do what I meant to do. I'll comm if I need you guys.

=i start walking off to the hanger bay=

=looks at Zeru=
So, what else does this ship have to offer?

Alright then, I guess I'll just head down to my ship. If you or Dormii need me, I'll be there.
Just call ahead first please.

=i get to the hanger bay, and change my mind. i head back into the ship, heading for the messhall=
He'll get my messages

(He finishes off the Squats and begins to put up the dummies)
(Hey placed them in a circle)
(He stands in the middle)
(He scans the targets and attacks)

=Justin wakes up with his leg better, and heads over to the hanger, the usual hangout for his squad=

(He lands one final uppercut to a dummy)
(He looks around and leaves the training room)
(Getting his breathing back to normal he finds himself in the messhall)
(He sees Dormii)

@Dormii

Hey. How did the tour go.

=I sit down in the messhall after grabbing some food and start eating, trying to keep my mind off of Jay and other things. Draco shows up=
Hey, pretty good. Like any other tour. So, when did Sarge show up?

(He sits next to him)
(He shrugs)

@Dormii

My guess is that he had always been there.
He only really showed up after the big attack with Zayne.

(He taps his head)

It is a party up here.

So....Robotics huh.

Code:

You were in bad shape when you were found

How bad?

P.A.T.I.E.N.T.S. comes back into the room humming to himself.

Code:

Lift up your shirt.

I look at her puzzled and doe as she says. I gasp and drop my shirt again, afraid to look.

Code:

It's ok. Don't worry. It will perform just like your real organs did.

But. Im just. Just.

Quote :

You shouldn't let it bother you too much human. Take something to help you calm down.

CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! ONE SIDE OF MY ENTIRE STOMACH IS NOTHING BUT ROBOTICS. AND YOUR ASKING ME TO CALM DOWN!

He continues to hum and float around, switching many different circuits.

Code:

Please Shelby. He has helped as best he could.

I sigh and look down

Your right.

Code:

You used to say i always was

I raise a half grin but then become saddened again.

You think my amnesia will ever pass?

Code:

Highly unlikely.

Quote :

I'm picking up a strange ship nearby. It looks like one of your human crafts. I'm counting three survivors on board. Barely alive. They seem to have run out of supplies and have dwindling oxygen reserves,

Do something then? Pick them up.

Quote :

I can attempt a manoeuvre that will as you say "pick them up"

DO IT THEN!

Quote :

Initiating roll now. Hanger doors opening and thrusters dropping to 15%. Shields lowered, 72 degrees tilt on the forward flaps.

=I chuckle=
Nice. So, how many are in their now?

=I take my knife and toss it in the air, repeatedly=

Lynn-They are responding!

Grace-Thank god

(The Pelican begins to fly to the hanger)
(They land inside)
(She opens the back and they hop out)

(They look around)

Jon-What kind of ship is this?


(Draco)

@Dormii
This would make a total of four. Including my own.

=I raise an eyebrow=
Four? I thought there were three, if you include Sarge.

(He tilts his head)
(Thinking)

@Dormii

Oh. You never met Hope.

Hope? =my eyebrows raise a little higher=

(He nods)

@Dormii

She is the embodiment of my knowledge.
Memory.
Other things.

Oh, cool. I'm going to guess she's helpful and supportive?

=I take a bite=

=He sighs=

Fuck it...

=He gets up and grabs his gear. He decides to go get something to eat=

Allisia?

Code:

Yes, sir?

Have the Eirav Wing re-dock here.

Code:

Yes, sir.

@Dormii

Here and there.
Kinda like my mother. It's........Strange

(He looks at him)
(His eyes flash purple then red)

Purple, interesting. And hey, at least you kinda have a mom, even if she knows everything that you know. I'm sorry, Draco or Hope, but that's just kinda creepy.

=He walks into the mess hall. He walks up and takes a turkey sandwich. He sees Draco and Dormii at a table=

Hey guys.

=He sits down a few seats away from them and takes off his helmet to eat. The Eirav Wing lands in the hanger=

(He nods to Xazhi)

@Dormii

You kinda get used to it after so many years.


(The Forerunner ship)

(The group begins to walk around the ship)

=I half wave to Xazhi. To Draco=
Yea, I'm not sure I could live with someone in my mind. I have too much darkness in there to let someone else in. It wouldn't be fair.

Quote :

Isolating that sector. Locking doors. Shield system online. Stationary fields up. Want to speak to them human?

No. Leave them there for a while. I'll visit them in person. I just need rest again first.

(He laughs slightly)

@Dormii

Trust me. You wouldnt want this curse.
Only one upside. Whenever I feel kinda lonely.
I can just start talking to one of them.
Preferably Hope.

(Zayne appears)

Zayne-And what is so wrong with talking to me?

Yea, that's true. All I got is my memories, and we all know how those turn out.

=i take another bite and chew=
If I may ask, how do you control it?

(He looks over to Zayne)
(Then back to Dormii)

@Dormii

I cant. The only time it is ever controlled is if Ash is here.

=I look where he looks, seeing nothing=
Let me guess, someone's here?

(He sighs)

@Dormii

Zayne.

Zayne-You say that like you hate me. Cmon man we are practically brothers.

=my eyes widen=
Oh, great. Should get the shotgun ready?

@Dormii

If you want to waste a few shots into the air.
He wont do anything.

(He looks at Zayne)

Right?

Zayne(laughing)-Ill try to resist.

I meant in case he takes over, but as long as he won't try anything...hey, what happens if two of them try to take over at the same time?

(He shakes his head)

@Dormii

Hope isnt a people person.
She has only come out to talk to Ash.

Sarge will only ask for permission.

Zayne comes out whenever he wants. Or I put up a strong enough defense to stop him.

Zayne-Never happened

Well, tell Hope I don't blame her, but if the problem is judgement, I won't judge. I'd be happy to meet her sometime.

=I take another bite, finishing my food=

Zayne-You both are boring

(He disappears)

@Dormii

Not that. She just doesnt like people.

Any particular reason? I don't want to seem insensitive, I mean, she is technically right here listening. I'm just curious is all.

@Dormii

Not really sure.

(His eyes flash purple)

Because of the human curiosity.
Constantly Probing for information.

(His eyes flash red)

Okay...maybe that...Sorry...

=i chuckle=
Nice to meet you, too, Hope. I'm sorry if I offended. Human curiosity is a pain to get rid of.

(His eyes go purple again)

@Dormii

No. You did not offend.
It is fine. I am sorry for snapping.

=i put up a hand=
It's quite all right. I'd ask another question, but I'm afraid you'll get after me for it.

=i smile jokingly=

(He sighs)

@Dormii

Alright.

Now, if it's alright, how do you change the eye color, or, for that matter, choose the color? It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I won't mind.

(He looks around)
(Thinking)

@Dormii

That is one thing that I have never thought about.
Hmm.
I am guessing it is like genetics......to an extent.....

=i shrug=
Maybe. Who knows.

(He shakes his head)
(His eyes turning back to red)

@Dormii

I am going to go to bed.
Ill see you later.

(He stands and walks off)

=He finishes his sandwich. He looks at Dormii=

So whats up?
