Chapter 6 - Complications part 7

(Laura)

@Dormii: Wrong cell. I'm on the other side. Behind you.

(Dormii)
=i turn around and try to focus. i get to the right cell and open the door=
Sorry. Can't...think straight...some kind of...toxin thing...gods i hope this...doesn't...last long...

=I walk next to Dormii=

Who are you..

=I look into the cell=

Oh.. another one of your friends..

=She see's the ODST standby Dormii.=

@The ODST: And you are?

That depends.. Who's asking?

He's...Snow. He's UNSC. He claims...to be a prisoner, but...he's not...not truly...

=i start walking back out of the cells=
Is this...the way...out?

@The ODST: You want the full name?

Do I need it?

=I begin to walk away=

=She begins to follow them.=

@Snow: Lance Corporal Laura Fall, ODST. You?

=I turn back to her=

Corporal Snow, ODST..

=I turn back around and walk down the hall=

i'm not sure... I'm sorry honey, i have a headache. I don't know why... let's just stay here.

=i lay my head back on her chest and hold her tighter=

(Dormii)
=i turn around to look at Snow and Laura, smacking into a wall with the back of my head=
Hey...is this...the right way...out?


(Lana)
=i run my hand through his hair=
Hey, it's okay. I'm fine right here.

=I shrug=

I don't know, I am just retracing my steps..

@Dormii: Yeah, you carry on and their should be a hatch or something.

@Snow: How the hell did you get in here anyway? This place is sealed tight.

(Dormii)
=i feel the back of my head, and my hand comes back red and sticky=
Should I...be...worried...about this?

=i keep walking regardless=

=I smile=

Explosives help you know..

=I see a little light=

Should be right up here..

(Laura)

What the hell did they inject him with?

(Senox)

=I begin tagging along, at the back.=

=the toxin starts to wear off=
Oh...that's a bit better...can think a bit...more clearly now...

=i shake my head again, ignoring the blood on the back of my head and we reach the hatch i climb out and turn to offer a hand to the others=
Up and out.

(Scientia)

=He is shaking on the spot.=

FLOOD! DETECTION... ALL SYSTEMS CORRECT... FLOOD DETECTED! FLOOD DETECTED!

i love you...

=i bury my face=

=I climb out of the hatch=

What are you whining about now, scaredy cat?

(Dormii)
=i reach down to help Laura up, after Snow ignored me, but look over at Scientia=
Hey...Scientia. You okay?

(Lana)
=i hold him close=
I love you too.

(Scientia)

FLOOD... FLOOD... CHANCES OF SURVIVAL... 0%... FLOOD... FLOOD...

(Laura)

=She climbs out of the hatch with Dormii's help.=

(Senox)

=I climb out of the hatch.=

(Dormii)
=i walk over to Scientia=
Hey, what do you mean, Flood? I thought you said they were gone.

Look, I haven't seen any water except for this stream in 2 miles.

=I look at the stream=

I think we will be fine.

@Dormii: The Flood where gone after everything was wiped out... But they survived... Research facilities... These Humans had a Flood Spore... Now it has escaped... It will begin infecting... Chances of survival... 0%

=I shrug=

Ok, what the hell are you talking about..?

Did i kinda look like a small balloon type thing with legs? Because I almost met that thing.

@Snow: Parasite... It consumes... It conusmes all...

@Dormii: Yes. They look like angry potatoes with legs.

=I wake up and head back to the planet, Alone=

No one is here again. I'll just stick around for a little bit and see if anything shows up...

Oh..

=I look at the hatch=

...That isn't good...

=sees the others coming out of a hatch and runs over=

where happened somethings been infecting the creatures in the area it's already spread far

=to Zeru=
Flood escaped. Think a parasite that infects everything it can.

Hey, you got my armor anywhere on you?

@Everyone: Survival... We must get back to the base... Hold out... I shall look through my records... See if anything I can find will work... Must not let flood infect any Reclaimers...

(Laura)

You guys have a base?

This can't be good..

=I begin to watch my back and look at Laura=

If you can even call it that..

=hands it to him=

i noticed it's spread to a 5 mile area already i have measures in place to keep them in it follo me guys

=starts heading back to base=

(Laura)

=She picks up Scientia.=

(Scientia)

Measures will not work for long... They will grow... They will consume all...

=i look over at Laura as I quickly put on my armor=
Yup. You're welcome to stay with us for as long as possible. We could use the help. Bellum et Pax online.

--Bellum et Pac online. How may I help you?--

We got a parasite outbreak. It infects anything. If you see anything that looks...well, infected. Let me know, as well as the others, okay?

--Okay--

Also, this is Laura.

--Hello Laura. I am Bellum et Pax, Dormii Fortuni's A.I--

=i bury my face deeper and hold her tighter=

.......

=I begin trying to get back to the base as quickly as possible, hoping that Christina is ok..=

(Lana)
=i chuckle=
Oh, I see how it is. Your headache is an excuse to stay on your pillow.

=i chuckle again=
I'm kidding. You feeling any better?

(Laura)

@Bullem: Hello Bullem et Pax.

@Dormii: I'll stay, it'll be nice to sleep somewhere other than that cell for once.

(Senox)

=He starts following the others.=

=I put my rifle on a table and see if anything can be modified=

Everything seems good. I wonder where everyone is.

=I try and comm them=

Hey, can anyone hear me? If you can, where are you guys?

@the others when we get to the ship follow me to the conferance room we'll make a plan there

=I comm back=

=I load my rifle and look around=

=I start to run ahead of everyone=

=comm to Justin=
Got a parasite outbreak. We need to get people out of here.

=to Laura. I chuckle=
Understandable.

=I hear the comm=

(Laura)
