Chapter 6: Complications part 4

=I look back at Christina=

Well.. we found a good sized field that might be suitable for a small firebase...

(Grey) : Yeah. True. This is pointless. We have not found anything

(Lana)
=i grab the shirt from earlier and put it on. i fake helplessness=
Help, help! I appear to have lost my blanket! Whatever shall I do?

=i laugh and walk over to him and put him in a hug=
I'll be missing you.

(Dormii)
=comm to Snow=
Anything there that we can build off of?

=i open the back of the Cyclops and give Grey a maybe sign=

It's a field.. what do you think?

=I sit down in the middle of the field=

I promise, I'll come back... alive and in one piece.

=i walk towards the door=

If I see any flowers while I'm down there, I'll bring 'em back for you.

I love you Lana.

=I walk out to find Xazhi an Tar=

(Lana)
I love you too, Kurbis.

=i sigh as the door closes and sit down on the bed, thinking=


(Dormii)
=comm to Snow=
Well, smart-guy, have an idea as to how to build it?

=I chuckle=

I am not the Engineer here.

=I turn back around and open our door=

Oh, and Lana if you get lonely, just comm me, ok?

(Lana)
=i look up at him=
How so? No armor, and I don't think the guards here trust me anymore, if they ever did.

(Dormii)
You have eyes, right? What do you think would work right?

Didn't you pack up your stuff on the Tropheum, and bring it along?

=I look to see a forest=

They have some trees over here..

=I say jokingly=

You can make a tree house.

=Christina gives a small chuckle=

SS1- Sir, we have to be going soon.

(Lana)
=i nod=
But, I didn't have anything with me, except these clothes and my hair dye.

=i smile=
I'll find a way, don't worry.

(Dormii)
Well, if that's what you want to sleep in, who am I to judge?

=i give a thumbs-down to Grey and get back in the Cyclops, pushing through the branches=

=i comm Justin=
Hey, Justin, any place that you can see that has a good place to stay?

=We begin to venture on=

So, are we looking for some kind of buildings?

=Gets the Comm=

(Justin) : Yeah. I might have a flat ground.

(Dormii)
=comm to Justin=
Anything with a foundation? A building we can build off of? It'd make our job a lot easier.

=comm to Snow=
Preferably. If not, then we build from scratch.

=Comms to Dormii=

(Justin) : Let me land and see.

=The vulture lands and they investigate=

@SS1 hold on.

=i reach into my back pack and pull out an extra comm set, i toss it to her=

It's an older model, but it should work. I love you.

=i walk back out=

@SS1, lead the way...

=The SS guard leads Kurbis to the Launch Bay=

(Lana)
=i catch it, and put it on. it's a little loose, but it fits okay. i test it by sending Scythe a comm message=
I love you, too.

(Dormii)
=comm to Justin=
Find anything?

=I sigh and turn off the comm=

Well.. we keep looking..


(Christina)

=I sigh=

Fine... I guess we better get to high ground..

=I point to a small hill=


(Me)

Of course, make it much easier

=I smile and we begin to walk toward it=

=Xazhi walks up to Kurbis=

Are you and your squad ready to go?

@Dormii :

(Justin) : Yeah. A flat ground. Pretty big. Some towers. We can use them i hope. Not much other than a few things.

(Dormii)
=comm to Justin=
That could work.

=comm to Zeru=
Zeru, you getting all this?

(Justin) : Yeah. I'm sending the Coords to you.

=Sends the Coords=

+comm@Lana+

Glad it works.


@Xazhi, I think so, I wasn't really listening but, are we going to be fighting?

(Dormii)
Zeru, I'm not sure you are going to be able to. That big of a ship...you might not be landing it might be more of, say, crashing in a giant cloud of dust an debris.

(Lana)
=comm to Scythe=
Same here. Be safe, blanket.

=He sighs and hands him a DMR=

Thats what these are for. Now then, let's go over the plan.

=He brings him over to a holomap of the Planet=

=We reach the top of the hill=

Man.. that is some view...


(Christina)

=I brush up close to him as he puts his arm around me=

Yes... it is...

I already have weapons you know.

= i point to scythe and sniper riffle on my back=

Were going to be in tight quaters, where even you scythe will be to big of a weapon to be used effectively. Take it.

=He makes him take the DMR, and brings up te Holo-map=

Ecenil-seka. An Ice planet, with a small UNSC cammand base. Resistance is expected to be high. And we're dropping in here.

=He points to a valley between two glaciers=

The base is actually Inside that mountain. So, are you and your squad ready?

=I comm Dormii=

I don't see any form of Human or Covenant life from this view...

=I look toward the horizon=

But this place is beautiful...

(Dormii uso)
=comm to Snow=
That may be a good sign.

Oh, and did you tell whoever you are with I said hi yet?

=I grip tighter on Christina=

Sure...

=i open a video comm with him=
You sure? I know how you don't like us very much. Don't want you giving the new guy or girl the wrong impression.

I promise..

=I look at Christina again=

I won't...

Hmm

This is place is nice

(He sighs)

Would love some storms to roll in

(He takes a seat on a nearby rock)
(Looks up towards the sky)

=i chuckle=
I see that look. I'll let you two get back to "relaxing."

=i try to push through a strong branch again and it smacks into me, almost knocking me over=
Ah, crap.

=i straighten myself before I tip over=
Much better.

(He sees Dormii having trouble)

@Dormii

Nice one

(He gives a slight laugh)
(He follows)

=I turn off the video comm and go back to radio=

It is getting dark.. we need to find a place quick...

=i close the comm to Snow and open one to Draco=
Hey, you wanna try this thing? Be my guess. It's like MJOLNIR training all over again.

=i grab the branch and squeeze, making a rough cut on it. i push again and it snaps=
Although with some much better perks.

=They head to the ODST pods and load up. The drop down and start falling through the atmosphere=

(He chuckles)

(He has another flashback)
(A modified tank)
(A 'Grizzly')
(He shakes his head)

@Dormii

I'm more of a tank man.

(He looks back up to the sky, continues to walk)

=i chuckle=
Well, to each his own, i suppose.

(He brings out the arm-blade and runs up)
(He slices some intruding branches and brush)

@Dormii

Could have used this earlier I guess

(He chuckles)

Not bad. Where'd you get it?

(He continues walking)
(Smiling)

@Dormii

Sangheili upgraded my Shield and armor.

=The six pods slam into the snow. They start moving past the trenches and into the valley between them and the base. They come under fire from marines on the base walls=

Xazhi- Marines!

=They duck behind some rocks=
