Chapter 7 War, War never changes

=i fire one last shot at zeru, paralyzing him badly, i go over to the dormii and pull his armor off it throw it the ground, the scream stops=

enough noise and fighting, miss is resting.

(Dormii)
=i feel my armor be removed. i recover, slightly=
Help...please...someone...

=i start to pass out again=


(tar, kota is a badass, but what are his/her/it's weaknesses?)

=syaa who had been watching the battle arrives and puts the 3 on a specially designed stretcher and putting the armor underneath it and starts glaring at kota before heading to med bay=

(Jason)

=I was in the mess-hall of the Blacklight. They may not have allowed alcohol on the Trophaeum, but that didn't stop me from swigging from a bottle of whiskey I had stored in the cargo bay. Besides, it was still my ship, and my girlfriend and child had just been kidnapped. If that doesn't allow me to drink my sorrows away, then I don't now what does=

i will not leave miss...





(well standard shots are useless, he's heavy as hell, Scythe's scythe can't cut through him(no enegy blade can) i believe his weakness is high pulse weapons like wave cannons and junk)

=they arrive at medbay and syaa has the doctors unstun zeru and he starts operating on draco and zayne=

syaa your still injured severly

me and so are they




isn't that op?

(Dylon)
=the shaking gets worse, like a junkie who tried a shot for old times sake=





(you think? as in, you aren't sure? If i may suggest, explosives, EMPs (only the body, the AI is fine) and maybe prolonged exposure to energy blades (the blade stays in for a while, because plasma is burning air. i fairly certain that could melt through metal, given enough time))

=he continues to guard Talfie's door=

... i cannot help



(op?)

=syaa assist zeru=


me i like how i can still operate when injured



over powered and i like bull's idea

i will protect...

(well, he is a frigin' robot, not a fleshy human or alien, but theres a good reason blades are useless, his body has trace amounts of plasma in it( not a lot )


oh, and zeru, your char can be bit op sometimes, just sayin')

(Dylon)
=i lie down, trying to make the feeling go away=




(Tar, you have it where you need to practically microwave the guy to do something. Now, look, if you think Zeru's char is op, then what good is it to do that yourself? it only ends badly, trust me. think of some more weaknesses, please? it'd makes things a lot easier)

(Dylon)
=i fall asleep=

(Now, I'm getting off, and i want you to think about a few things. a) what are Kota's weaknesses? Wave Cannons are not something that the rest of us have, so it should be something like plasma because plasma is a super-heated gas b) I'm sorry to say it, but trace amounts of plasma mean you are being melted. it cannot be part of something without wrecking what it is a part of (Covenant weaponry works a certain way, i'll tell you when i get the chance) c) the things you made Kota out of were common metals found in a workshop on the Troph, how can they be resistant to plasma, if those metals weren't? answer these when you get the chance, please)

(Miranda)

=They locked me in one of the rooms on the ship. They didn't even bother to hand-cuff me, I wasn't a threat. All that was in the room was a cot, a chair, a water dispenser, with some paper cuts. The room also had a camera and a speaker=

Great, where's MacGuyver when you need him?

=I was in the room for a few minutes when the speaker crackled, and a familiar voice came out from it=

Miranda, can you hear me?

=I couldn't believe it. It was Argo. i felt hope well up inside me, but i kept my composure, and didn't move, or say a word=

It's okay Miranda, I'm feeding them a loop. They can't see or hear a thing.

=I let out the breath I was holding, and felt a small tear trickle down my cheek. Even trapped in this den of lions, I still had my oldest friend=

@ Argo- I can't tell you how good it is to hear your voice Argo.

=He chuckled over the speakers=

I can imagine Miranda. Listen, I snuck into their systems when they boarded. This is all me. I don't quite have full control yet, but I do have access to communications. Unfortunately, I only have access to the ships standard comms- I'll only be able to send messages in normal space. We'll have to wait for the ship to exit slip-space before I can call the cavalry. Also, I was able to find out where we're going: you'll be pleased to know it's not Vigil's base. We are apparently going to an empty region of space.

"Where am I?"

"You are in a facility."

what?

"What sort of facility?"

"That is not for you to know."

"What is for me to know?"

"That you are alive, and the tests on you proved to us who you are."

I chuckled, it was a nervous laugh.

"...And who am I?"

I hear him or it, laugh.

"You are the Scientist who cheated death, mutated a Flood strand and built warriors of the Inheritors whom still fight today. some of which have been named Reclaimer."

"You seem to know a lot about me."

"We know a lot about you Dr. Oehlberg."

"Who are 'we' exactly?"

"That is one of the things you are not to know."

"ohhhhhhhhh kay, what am I allowed to know?"

"You will find out in time."

"So I'm going to be left here in the dark?"

"you are in the dark because you can't open your eyes, sight can be oh so cumbersome when it comes to viewing certain things."

=He wakes up in the Med-Bay, and looks around.=

What the fuck has Robin got me into...

Code:

Hello! Awake! At last! Now, I know you probably won't like this, but you have to stay with these guys. For a while. Just until I can get into thier system. So... Try to not get killed, okay?

=He nods.=

(sorry, fell asleep, i actualy just woke up with the "post a reply" page opened, anyways, what i wanted to say was I t ake back the plasma mixture, uhh, the ports when his guns are out on his back are opened, explosions, and microwaves and other high pulse weapons are his weaknesses. Also, Kota is a machine, he's gonna be a litte strong)



～random short story 5: I'm moved in to my house now, but the wifi aint hooked up on the computer.

(He wakes up)

(The pain flowing in)

Jesus...

(He looks over to his left arm)
(It had been placed in a sling)

(He stands. Ignoring the pain)

(He walks out of the medbay and to the messhall)

How...

=He tries to get out of his Med-Bay bed, but finds his legs strapped in by... Titanium or something. He just lies there.=

They really like there guests...

(Rain)

=I wake up slowly=
=remembering th night before=

Hmm...

=I stay there. Unsure of what to do=


(Dante)

(He enters the medbay)
(He looks around. Seeing Rain)
(He shakes his head and goes to the counter)

Hmm...

=He begins trying to get out of the Straps.=

Seriously... I'm a guest...

(Dante)

(He grabs an apple and takes a bite)
(He heads out to the medbay)


(Rain)

Hmm...

=My mind is wandering=

=i get dressed to go get something to eat, failing to notice Kota=

♪humming♪

= i sit down with some food and start to eat=

(Dante)

(He walks into the medbay)
(Seeing the prisoner)

Well.
Look who is awake.


(Rain)

=I look over to see her=

Hey...
Talfie...

hey, rain was it?

(Rain)

=I look at her confused=

Hmm?
That was...like two days ago...

that was yesterday *giggle*

=i shoot a flame from my umbrella=

=He looks over at the Spartan, and continues trying to break the straps.=

*Grunt.*

(Rain)

=I watch the flame=
=I shake my head=

yesterday.....

=I re-count the events in my head=
=I shake my head again=

okay...


(Dante)

(He walks up to the table in which the prisoner is on)

Going to be fairly difficult to break free.

=He continues trying to break the straps.=

*Grunt!*

=He tries to speak, but another sharp pain shoots up his neck.=

Kota:

=he steps into the mess hall=

miss has lost 39 hours of memory...


Talfie:

Kota?

=i turn around=

kota!

= i run up to him and give him a hug=

howd, you get here and built?!


Kota:

you built me, miss, like i said, you have lost your memory...

(Rain)

=I look over to Kota=

Oh..that explains it...

=I look back to the table=

Hmm...


(Dante)

(He sighs)

Here.
Nod once if you want to stay here.
Nod twice if you want to leave here for a bit. With me as your escort of course

=He nods twice, and stops trying to break the straps.=

(Dante)

(He nods)

Alright

(He releases the straps and helps the prisoner up)
(He puts some energy cuffs on him)

Precaution.
You understand.

(He leads the prisoner out)

talfie:

=i look back at rain=

why did something happen?

(Rain)

=I nod=

Something...
almost...
happened...

=I look back at her=

=He nods, and begins to walk. He points to the name on his shirt, and then to the Spartan.=

*Grunt?*

what almost happened

=i sit next to him=

(Dante)

(He nods)

Artyom.
My name is Dante.

(They continue walking the halls)


(Rain)

=I look at her=

You and I almost...

=I shake my head=
=I grab my cross, staring at her=

did i try to kill you?

=i get a little uncomfortable=

I'm sorry if i did! i get a little violent sometimes...

(Rain)

=I shake my head=

No...
You and I almost had..
sex


(Dante)

(He tries to think of ways to get information out)

Hmm

Dante...

=He makes an L with his fingers, and points to his name.=

(Last name?)

(Dante)

(He watches him)

Faulkner.

= i can't help but smirk a little=

*giggle* very funny...

(Rain)

Talfie....
Its true...

No... No idea.

=He points at a wall, then to his name.=

(Name of the ship?)

(Dante)

You are aboard the Tropheaum.

...

= i stare at him wide eyed=



Kota:

... oh snap


Talfie:

h-h-how far did we go?

(kota's voice is very monatone=

=He points to his head, and does the action for taking a hat off. He then points to the wall, and then his name.=

(Who is the captain?)

(Rain)

=I shake my head=

We didnt do anything.

=I continue looking at her=


(Dante)

(He sighs)

Like you can call him a captain.
Zeru..
Ishtar.

What? Isn't he dead?

=He points to his mouth, and then to a wall.=

(Does this ship have a messhall?)
