Chapter 6 - Complications part 7

(first person)
I sit there, appalled at what Matthias is suggesting. I say, "You cannot be serious. Are you telling me that you plan to...." He cuts me off.

"Shush! It's too late my friend, the Spores are already safely here, in a timed capsule, that will release them at our trips half way mark. Don't fret. We have plenty of time."

I stare at the man, shocked. How could he do this. Bring one of the nightmares of my life here: A public place. A ship no less. confined, no escape. Utter madness. complete and utter madness.

=I sigh and roll my eyes=

No need to be negative..

=I begin to wrap the cast in bandages to hold it together=

@Snow: What's to be positive about? That I learnt that jumping out of a Pelican is a bad idea?

(Lana)
I don't think the others will let you, Kurbis. Not if they can help it.

"I get it. I'll tell him to hurry up."

=I laugh a little=

Well yes..

=I put the bandages back in my bag=

You don't need to be down about it.. it isn't like you made a life changing decision...

=I look at Christina=

Think I care? What others let me do and not do has never stopped me before. I want that money, I'm a bounty hunter.

I suspose it will give me time to think about things...

@Snow: So what would you class as a life changing decision?

(Scientia)

Beep, boop.

(Senox)

BLAAARG... *Snore*...

=I turn back to her=

Hmm? Oh..

=I shrug=

I don't know... what did you have in mind?

@Snow: I don't know what would class as a life changing decision...

(Lana)
I just don't want you to get hurt or killed. No need to get angry. Just trying to look out for you.

I'm not angry, just determined.

(Lana)
=i get up out of the chair and hug him=
Like I said, I just want to make sure you don't get hurt or killed.

(Scientia)

@Zeru: Bombs is at 67%, we may have some problems with it. I suggest a meeting in the conference room after the bomb is ready.

I mean do you have any memories that you would even consider to be "life changing"

=I sit down in a nearby chair=

I won't, trust me I've delt then worse than Zeru, much worse...

(Laura)

@Snow: My dad died on Reach, and my brother went MIA. So that's about as life changing as I can think about. You have any 'life changing' memories?

=I sigh=

I was on Reach when it was attacked...

=I try to ignore the last question and think back to my experiences on Reach=

That must be awful for you...

(Lana)
=i let go and look him in the eye=
You dealt with Dormii and any other people who may stand in your way? He has a ship you know.

(First person)

I stand up, looking around, I need something to defend myself with, when the flood comes. Having none of my usual weapons about me I can't take them down as easily. Damn Magicks. Where is the World Tree when you need it? Wait. The Prowler is following this ship, cloaked. If I could send a distress signal....

@Snow: It can be bad, yeah. It's the worst when I think about it, him not being there when all this is over...

=A tear starts to form.=

I havn't delt with Dormii before, we get along well, I'll just try to be discrete about getting my target...

Heey.. Don't cry...

=I look around the room=

I can't make her stop crying like I do to Christina... that would be strange...

I am a Medic, I have seen more F-ed up bodies than I have had hot showers..

(Lana)
=i look him in the eye=
As long as you have a plan to not get killed.

trust me I always have a plan... Scythe always gets his Target.

=She smiles slightly.=

@Snow: That real doesn't help, you know.

(Lana)
=i relax a bit=
I've noticed.

=i smile and put my arms around him=
You always do...

=I smile=

Well.. you are smiling... aren't you?

=I go over to the medical supplies=

... I'll get the money and I'll get us a nice place to live.

(first person)
O-1447 "Doc, do you read?"

"ah! yeah, I read." I say whispering. slightly shocked at the sudden break of radio silence.

O-1447- "You have orders to re-route the Azure Comet."

"Why? How will that help us accomplish the mission?" I whisper fervently.

O-1447 "They may or may not be headed to the targets location."

"May or may-not? That doesn't mean I should tell the pilot to change course, thats an assumption!"

O-1447 "Sir, You're contacts on Shadow of the Moon have a Mark on it. It's headed to the last known location of a group of scientists experimenting with the Flood parasite."

"And What makes you think the Target will be there?"

O-1447 "Blacklight was seen at Vigil's Rendezvous point. It then Jumped again to an unknown location. We have reason to believe that the Azure Comet is a bounty-hunter ship. Heading to the location of the Target."

"What? Why can't I be on the ship now?"

O-1447 "Orders."

"Dammit. Fine, I'll tell the pilot."

(Lana)
And just for the sake of fleshing out all the details, what happens if you don't?

... I'll get the best place possible with what I have.

=She smiles.=

@Snow: I guess I am.

(Scientia)

Beep boop the bomb is... Not done. Hmph.

(Lana)
You do know that it doesn't matter to me, what we get, right? As long as I am with you, I am happy.

=I turn back to her=

Would you like to have a painkiller?

I'll be happy if you are too.

(Lana)
=i kiss him, smiling=
Mmm, let's go see what else we can do on this ship. It doesn't sound like we can do much of anything until Dormii solves his virus problem.

yeah, your right...

(Lana)
=i put my hand in his and start leading us out of the bridge=
C'mon. Let's see if there is a workshop or something. I have an idea on something I want to make.

what do you want to make?

(Lana)
You'll see. First, we gotta make it.

The Pilot alter the flight course. Everyone enters into Cryo-sleep. The Ship jumps.

are we making armor?

(Laura)

@Snow: Yeah. I'll have some painkillers.

(Scientia)

Bomb... Complete. Finishing touches... Timer detonation installed. Bomb is now ready.

@Zeru: The Bomb is ready, could you call a conference room meeting or whatever it is?

=uses the speaker system=

everyone able meet in the conference room now!

(Dormii)
=i hear the speaker and start heading to the conference room, bringing Jason along the way=


(Lana)
Like I said, you'll see.

(Senox)

=I wake up, and head to the conference room.=

(Scientia)

=He heads to the conference room, to discuss the plan.=

the suspence is gonna kill me!

=i throw my arms around her=

(Scientia)

@Zeru: Low chance of that working. The bomb might not reach the correct position. May I suggest my plan?
