Chapter 6 - Complications part 8

=I am still partially asleep=

=Hearing the people around me=

I...was not ready to die...I will kill him. My final bounty

=I open my eyes=

*You are currently at sixty-five percent*

Did a real...number on me...

*You were lucky It didnt kill you*

=I smile=

All apart...of the challenge...

(Aiden)

How long will we be here?

=Aiden looks at the leader=

(Dylon)
However long we want.

(Aiden)

Keep that damn Elite away from me...

=I motion to get up=

*The hell o you think you are goin?*

Cmon Kane. I can at least look around.

*Fine, Make sure you dont overwork yourself*

Alright.

=I get up taking out the IV and walk over to my things. I equip my weapons and head out=

Hmm.

=I start walking to the Living Quarters=

Nice place.

(Dylon)
=I nod=
The Nearly Dead watch over there own. I'll keep it away from you.

=I give the salute=

=I stop at one of the rooms and look in=

Hmm.

=I walk inside=

This has been used
By who I wonder.

=I give the Salute back=

Thank you.

(Dylon)
It's no problem.

=I sit down and take of my mask for the first time in a few months. I put my hand up to shield my eyes for a moment=
Glad to have this off, for a little while, anyway.

=I chuckle=

My leg... It hurts so bad.

=I manage to smile =

=I sit down on the bed=

Comfy...

=I sigh and look over to the desk=

hmm.

=I stand and open it=

Empty...

=I sigh again and lay on the bed=

(Dylon)
Well, if you are looking for someone to kiss it and make it better, you are looking at the wrong person.

=I smile and chuckle a bit=
Well, pain means you are alive, so be glad for that.

=I chuckle at his joke=

Yeah. I just want to get out of ths place. It's really boring.

*You are straying from your objective*

Hush Kane. Cant we have a little break?

*Hell no. You want that bounty or not?*

You know I do. Just. Taking a break...

*Kris...*

=I notice anger in his tone=
=I match it=

I told you to not call me Kris.

*That is your name. I will call you that*

=I sigh=

Fine...

(Dylon)
Yeah...but that statement might be a bit biased, I mean, we did just escape from a UNSC patrol. And, you know, those tend to be exciting.

Yeah. Until tou get stabbed by a huge Elite.

=I stand up and head out=

=I get lost. Not knowing my way=

Of course.

=I stumble upon a messhall=

Well. Here we are.

=I enter and go to the food=

Hmm. No Steak?!?!

=I grunt and grab a burger=

This will have to do...

(Dylon)
=i smile=
True, oh so true.

=I take a seat and begin eating=

=People around stare at me=

Why are they staring...

Can I help you?

=They look away=

Exactly...

=I continue eating=

(Dylon)
So, you want me to bring you your stuff? Maybe take you to the workshop on the ship? It's something to do while you wait for your leg to heal up.

Sure. I can work on my gun or something...

(Dylon)
=i nod and put my mask back on, so i can see better. i offer my hand to help him stand=
Why not? I could probably do a little more work on mine myself.

=I take him hand and try walking=

Okay. Lets go.

=I stumble a few times=

(Dylon)
What, walking on an injured leg? Heh, I can imagine.

=i put his arm around me for support=
C'mon. Let's go to the Pelican. Let's let the others know you are okay.

=I finish the burger and head to the medbay again=

*You are recovering quickly. ninety-five percent*

I know.

=I enter and take a bed=
=I look around for anyone to speak to=

*You are straying again*

(Aiden)

Huh? Yeah. It feels weird.

(Dormii)
=i wait for a comm response for a long time, but nothing happens. i take it off and see a new person=
Hi, and you are?

=I look over at Dormii=
=Confusingly=

Rain.

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Nice to meet you, Rain.

=i extend my arm in a handshake=

=I look at him confusingly=

That bump on you head might have caused...

=I stop=

Oh right. That was Mali.

=I take his hand=

(Dormii)
=i tilt my head=
Mali? I'm Dormii Fortuni.

=I nod=

I know.
Im guessing...a subconcious took over.

=I shrug=

(Dormii)
=i shake my head=
What? I don't...

=my eyes glaze over as Mali takes over=
Sorry for taking so long, head wounds always take a lot of coordination. Anyway, Dormii and I can't meet, not unless you want the body to...well, poof into dust.

=I shrug=

Alright.

=I sigh=

I lost my cool...

(Mali)
You mean when you tried to kill Senox?

=I nod=

Yes...

(Mali)
Well, don't do it again. One time is your only warning with Dormii.

=I look at him=

I cannot make that promise.
It would conflict with a previous one.

(Mali)
=i raise an eyebrow=
And that promise is...?

=Anger pushing through=

None of your concern.

(Mali)
Well, if it's going to cause conflict, share it. Simply give a reason, and that's that.

=My eyes do not falter from their position=

My promise. Was to kill all of those bastards.
Regardless of side chosen.

=I take the necklace into my hands=

=A cross. "Zoey" etched into it=

(Mali)
=I nod=
Okay. Sounds close to what the collective known as the UNSC thinks, and that won't win over anyone here.

=I shrug=

So you are anti-UNSC.

*Hmm*

=As the conversation begins Kane begins to relay the conversation=

(Mali)
They are, yes. The subconscious is neutral on all matters save survival. But everyone else, here, yes, anti-UNSC. Why do you ask?

=I shrug=

Never thought Spartans would go against the people who created them.
Its ironic.

Do you know this planets name?
I ask to cure my curiosity.

(Mali)
Well, have your AI there look up Dormii Fortuni. You'll see why he turned, although you probably won't have the full story. And the planet's name is Olympus, as in, home of the gods Olympus.

=I laugh=

Really!
Olympus. Oh man. That.
That is just hilarious.

*I will give you information on Dormii later*

=I snap from my laughter=

Alright. Thank you Kane.

=I stand=

I need to head out. Perhaps find a room here and sleep.
Ill help with anything on that planet if needed.

=I walk out and to the Living Quarters=

(Mali)
=I put my head back down and go back to organizing the repair system. I let Dormii take over again, but make him fall asleep=

(Dylon)
=we get to the Pelican, and I leave Aiden with the others while i go forward and tell the pilot to head back to the ship. We take off, and i can hear the soldiers in the back chatting=

(Jason)

=I woke up the next day. Miri was asleep in the chair next to my bed, her head resting on my chest. Which, oddly, didn't hurt as much as I expected. My jaw also felt a little better, though everything still ached=

Well, this is some weird shit. It shouldn't be aching until after a week. Then again, this isn't the first time this happened.

(Miranda)

=I woke up to find myself half lying on Jason's all to familiar chest. We were still in the med-bay=

*yawn* morning Jason.

=I smiled a little, and though his jaw was held shut, I knew he was smiling=
