Chapter 6 - Complications part 6

=After a few hours, he starts to approach the base from the north-western hills. He stops for a moment and comms Recon-S1=

Recon-S1, this is Silaev 2310. Im approaching the compound. It appears to be abandoned, but there are signs of recent activity. Proceeding, assuming all targets are either civillian or neutral untill proven otherwise. 2310 out.

=He stands there, looking at the base momentarilly. He remembers the Spartan from the day before, and how he hacked his comms. He remembers that he did not kill the spartan=

Shit...

=He continues, keeping low in the grass. He activates his PAC and PTC=

(Lana)
Nope. I base my age off of years. Every new year I add one to my age.

so Every new year will be you birthday from now on!

(Lana)
=i smile=
Yay, every New Year will be my birthday!

=i throw my arms up and then put them around his neck=
Yay for New Years!

yay indeed...

=I smile at her=

(Dormii)
--Another comm has been sent. From the same source--

Jam it, hack it. Tell me when you are ready.

--Jamming...hacking--

(Lana)
=i smile and kiss him for a long time=

So? don't you want to know mine?

=As he approaches the outskirts of the compound, he tries to Comm Recon-S1 again. He notices his comms have been jammed. He sighs=

This could either be due to the compound...


Or much

much worse...

=Not needing dead comms, he powers down his armor=

(Dormii)

--Jammed and hacked--

Okay, hack into his visor. Get control over it. I wanna play a game.

--Okay...working...and he shut his armor off again--

Damn. Okay, where was he?

--Compound--

Okay. Heading there now.

=i motion and Senox, Scientia and I start moving back towards the base=

(Lana)
Of course I do. What is it?

October 30th

(Lana)
I think that's in a few days. Want anything special for your birthday?

=I budge a little bit and look up at Christina still asleep=
=I smile and look around the room=

What to.. do.....

I'm not sure, although every day feels like my birthday when I'm with you...

Can I get some Grenades?

(Dormii)
=we come up to the compound, and I see a figure in the base. The same one as before=
Hey! You! What are you doing here?!

=i start running after him, ignoring the pain=

--Dormii...--

Not now.



(Lana)
=i press up against him=
Sure, unless you want something else...

=i give him a kiss=

what do you- Ohhhhh...

=put my arms around her and kiss her=

sure why not?

=He turns and sees the Spartan chargin at him=

Fuck!

=He removes the mag from his DMR and replaces it with an empty one, which seems like a reload to others. He moves to avoid the Spartan=

(Dormii)
=i run faster=

--Dormii...--

=to BeP=
NOT NOW!

=i call out to the shooter again=
Hey! Wait! I just want to talk, you idiot! That's all I wanted!



(Lana)
=i kiss him back=
I wondered when you were going to figure it out.

=i kiss him harder=
But, you have to wait until your birthday, okay?

I can wait...

Four nights in a row is enough for awhile....

(Lana)
=i smile=
Hmm...we'll see...

=i give him another, smaller kiss=
Now, what else can we talk about?

*yawn* I don't know, you got any ideas?

(Lana)
How about what you dream about?

=i start leading us back to the room=

.........................hmm...

colours i guess... you?

=He stays low in the grass, ready to draw his ELS if the shit hits the fan. He calls out to the Spartan=

Really? Because i dont feel like taking a grappling hook in the side of my goddamn head! Hi, Corporal Naht Amour Ohn, nice to meet you. You must be Sgt Barbaric Murderer!

(Dormii)
Gods dammit, that was an accident! You ever tried controlling a grappling hook? It doesn't always do what you wanted! Why the hell didn't you just talk to me when I said hi, Corporal Naht?


(Lana)
I usually dream about things that happened earlier in the day. Like how they could've been different. Almost always they are lucid dreams, though, which is kinda cool.

=I begin wandering the ship, looking for something to do=

usually about what happens earlier in the day huh? what's the last few night's dreams been about?

=He reloads his gun with an actual loaded mag=

When your helmet gets hacked, armor locks up, and freind is dragged into the brush by a strange Spartan with a greppeling hook, you tend not to be too trusting of said Spartan! I didnt know the UNSC was in the business of getting to know people before killing them nowadyas! Then again, judging by what happened yesterday, im again a little more that reluctant to believe you!

(Dormii)
If I was UNSC there would be more lights, more ships, more people, and more alarms. So, thankfully, I'm not UNSC, I thought you were!

(Lana)
=i smile=
Reliving those respective activities.

=i look in his eye=
What did you expect?

= I chuckle=

I'm really tired... you?

(Lana)
=i shake my head=
Not really. Doesn't mean I can't be your pillow.

I love my pillow...

=I hug her as we get to our room=

Im part of the SS! Fuck no, im not UNSC! You're a Spartan! And you killed my partner! And you have a massive Supercarrier up there! How do you expect me to seriously believe that you dont have an army behind you!?

=walks out=

if we had an army u'd be dead by now

(Dormii)
If I had an army with me, they'd be surrounding you! Do you see anyone right now?


(Lana)
And I love my blanket...

=i hug him back and kiss him as we go in the room=

=I lay down on my fluffy pillow once we get on the bed=

I love you Lana...

= I drift asleep=

Looks can be decieving! I have an army, and yet here i am, all by myself!

(Dormii)
Yeah, and your point is? You want me to prove we don't have an army by not shooting you?



(Lana)
I love you too, Kurbis...

=i run my hand through his hair as he falls asleep=

To be honest i dont give a shit wether or not you have an army! You killed my partner by drilling a hook into his skull on his first mission! A scouting mission, no less!

=He continues to keep the distance between them at least 10 yards=

(Dormii)
Well how the hell was I supposed to know?! You were freaking spying on us! I was disarming a potential threat!


(Lana)
=as i run my hand through his hair, i start to think of my life on the planet, of how hard it was to not kill myself everyday. Of the times I tried...=

Disarming and Killing are two very different things! And we're searching for something! None of your concern. Our orders were to avoid any fatalities on any side! You have put quite a damper on that!

(Dormii)
And I told you, that was an accident! Know what? Screw this, you aren't going to come talk. I'll come to you.

=to Zeru=
Keep him busy. I'll go get the Cyclops.

=i turn and jog off towards the Cyclops=

@dormi got it

@ the scout just come out we'll talk about this

=He pauses=

And who might you be?

=He stands out of the brush=

(Dormii)
=i reach the Cyclops and climb inside. I power it on and start stomping back towards where Zeru and the other soldier is=



(Lana)
=i sigh and return to the present. i kiss the top of Kurbis' head and go back to running my hand through his hair. i smile as I go=

=He sees the Cyclops=

Holy shit!

=He ducks into the brush and starts running away back towards the hills=

I may have orders not to kill anyone, but whos to say that stops you!? Fuck that!

=ztarts chasing after him closing the gap inch by inch=

(Dormii)
=i start running in the Cyclops, making large strides, closing the gap much faster=


(Lana)
=i slowly fall asleep, thinking of Kurbis and things to do=

=He stands up straight in order to run faster, slowly moving away from the Spartan. He looks back and sees the Cyclops quickly cathing up=

Fuck off!

=he comms Recon-S1=

Recon-S1! This is Silaev 2310 requesting IMEDIATE extraction! We have multiple hostiles!
