Chapter 7 War, War never changes

(Dormii)
=i look over at Laura=
Hey Laura. I snapped, fought Zayne, got shot, broke his arm. How's the leg?

=i manage a weak smile=

(Laura)

Good, compared to what happened to you. Wait... Who's Zayne?

(Dante)

(He heads off to the medbay to check on the others there)

I dont understand this...

(He enters the medbay)

None of this

(Dormii)
=i nod to Draco=
One of Draco's split personalities. Speaking of which.

=i look at Draco=
How are you holding up?

(Laura)

One of?

@Draco: Hey Draco.

(Artyom)

=He stands up. Idea No.1. He begins to wobble around, and falls onto the ground, pretending to be unconsious.=

(Dante)

(He shakes his head)

I dont know.

(He looks over to Laura and manages a nod)
(To Dormii)

You got him pretty good though.
Broke my arm.

(Dormii)
=i wince when he says that=
Look about that, I'm sorry. That whole thing with the frigate...I lost it again.

(Laura)

@Dormii: Frigate? Did I miss something?

(Dante)

(He nods)

It is fine.
It is just a broken arm.

How are you holding up with your wounds.

(Dormii)
Fine I guess. If I get in a fight I won't be as combat effective as normal, but I guess that's a good thing, huh?

=i smile and look back to Laura=
You just slept through a massive space battle. The UNSC was called here, by a man named Rain. We managed to beat them off. I cleared a frigate for us.

=She smiles=

I sleep through alot of things, it seems.

(Dante)

(He walks over to one of the beds and lays down)

I need some rest.
And since I am too lazy to go to my room.
I shall sleep here.

(He closes his eyes and drifts off)


(Sarah)

(She wakes up)

That was very nice.
Hm Hm Hm.

(She stands and heads out)
(She walks into the medbay to check on things)

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
Seems like. We got a new group of people here to help us. The Nearly Dead. Based on the carrier Dead and Back, formerly known as the Atlas. Captain is known as Bullet. Also have some other people and ships. I fill you in later.

=i see Sarah=
Hey Sarah. How's things?

(Sarah)

(She looks around the medbay)

Hm Hm Hm

(She realizes Dormii was talking to her)

Oh! Im good.
I just woke up.

(She smiles)
(She sees Laura and walks to them)

(She stretches her hand out)

Hi. Im Sarah.

(Artyom)

=Plan 2: Urmm... He tries to remove the cell floor pannels.=

(Laura)

=She shakes her hand.=

Hey, I'm Laura. Nice to meet you.

(Dormii)
I was just catching Laura here up on all that has happened. I told her about Bullet and the Nearly Dead, the battle...anything I missed?

(Sarah)

(She shrugs)

I gue-

(She had turned her head to see Draco on a bed)
(She gasps)

What happened to Dante?

(She walks over to him)
(She looks at his arm and gasps)

What happened to his arm!

no no no no no

(Dormii)
That was my fault.

=i look away=
My past caught up to me and I lost myself. I broke his arm in the fight. If it makes you feel better, Zayne shot me a few times.

(Sarah)

(She hears the name and looks at Dormii)
(Confused)

Waitwaitwait. Who is Zayne?

(She looks back at Draco)

Hmm.........

(Dormii)
One of Draco's other personalities.

(Artyom)

=He manages to remove some of the floor pannels, and goes into whatever it is underneath, but not before making a loud 'BANG!'=

(Sarah)

(She looks at Draco with concern)

You didnt say anything about that..

Hmm....


(W/G)

(They hear the bang and Weaver enters)
(He goes up to where the panel is and looks down at Artyom)

=He waves at the Giant Robot thing, and then leaves the room underneth his cell, exiting into a hallway.=

(Dormii)
Yeah...anyway. I'm going to go get something to eat. Anyone care to join me?

=i stand up, trying to regain my balance=

(Laura)

Sure, I'll come. Need any help walking?

(Dormii)
=i take a few step, hesitantly=
I'll be fine. Besides, it's not like you can carry me, now can you?

=i laugh a little bit at that=

(W/G)

W-Sending alert now

(Widespread comms across the ship)

W-This is General Weaver. This is an announcement. A prisoner has escaped. I repeat a prisoner has escaped.

(They exit and try to find Artyom)


(Sarah)

(She hears the comm, but ignores it)
(She nods)

I.....guess..I could eat........

(She leaves for the messhall)

=She chuckles.=

Aah, the routine.

(Artyom)

Fuck... I need to get my armour... The Med-Bay! I need to get to the Med-Bay!

=He starts sprinting to the Med-Bay.=

(Sarah)

(She stops outside of the medbay)

Hmm...

Hes strong. He'll pull through

(She sees a person running at her)

(Dormii)
=i hear the comm and groan=
I can't do anything about that right now...

=i see someone running=
Hey! Who are you!

=He notices the Woman just in time, and dives out of the way. He runs to his Med-Bay bed, and grabs his Pistol.=

*Grunt, grunt grunt.*

(Dormii)
=i look at the man and slowly walk over=
Hey, who are you?

=He points the Pistol at the man, and points to the name on his shirt.=

(Sarah)

What is going on...


(Dante)

(He stirs)
(Eyes fluttering open)
(He takes out his HC and as his eyes focus he points it at Artyom)

(Dormii)
=i stop and put my hands up. i look at his name tag=
Artyom? Your name is Artyom?

=He nods, and grabs his helmet.=

(Dante)

(He stands)

(Artyom is in front of him, back turned)
(He continues pointing the HC at him)

(Dormii)
Okay, now. Where did you come from?

=He points to the UNSC insignia on his shirt.=

(Dormii)
=i sigh=
Of course...just our luck.

=i put my arms down=
Of fucking course...

=walks out and sees the prisoner=


hello there now what are you doing out of your cell

(Dante)

(He shoves the HC into the back of Artyom's head)

What did I tell you Artyom

*Grunt, grunt grunt.*

Shit... This isn't good...

(Dante)

(He pistol whips the back of Artyom's head)

I told you.
To stay in the cell.

(Dormii)
=i shake my head=
Why can't you people just leave us alone?

=i turn and start walking out of the medbay towards the messhall=

Fuck!

=He shakes his head.=

(Dormii)
=to Zeru=
Only if you come with me to the messhall.

=to Laura and Sarah=

(Laura)

Yep.

=She begins to follow Dormii.=

(Dante)

(He whispers into Artyom's ear)

You will not be leaving C.

(He holsters the HC and takes out the cuffs)
(He cuffs Artyom and leads him to Cell Block C)


(Sarah)

(She follows)
