Understood. I'm on my way to Miranda. Just keep doing what you're doing.

=I ran down the hallway, only to see something truly scary: a Spartan, clad in black armor walked out of a room. He was carrying a machine gun. his voice crackled over my comms=

@ Jason- Hello, Jason. Long time no see.

=He opened fire with the chaingun, and tracer rounds filled the hallway. I ducked to one side, through a window=

(Dormii)
Not quite. They are only on the right arm, as the left as the large armor plate in the way.

=i smile=
I use them mostly for increasing force for a punch or for helping me position for a Zero-G jump or something. Also, there are two features I had BeP remove from the HUD, the scream, and the hacking console.

(Miranda)

=When Chuck walked out of my room, the doctor walked back in=

@ Miranda- Well, looks like we are going to have leave. i'm sure the boss wants you back at base for more work.

=he untied one of my hands. he didn't know that the drugs had worn off. My hand shot up, and grabbed the pen from his jacket. I then stabbed him in the eye. He screamed=

(Jason)

=The tracer fire stopped. I didn't look though. I just primed the grenades, let them cook, and chucked them at Chuck=

Chucked them at Chuck? Heh, there a tongue twister.

=I heard the grenades detonate, and I popped up, my assault rifle firing. Chuck wasn't there=

@ Jason- Hello.

=Chuck appeared on my right, his armor de-cloaking. He slammed into my side=

(Laura)

Scream? To deafen people?

(Dormii)
I call it the Banshee Scream. You ever read an mythological stories?

(Laura)

Some, but nothing about Banshees.

=they finish cleearing them and go to bridge gunning the crew down=

[e] elyon u there?[/u]

Code:

 how may i assist you

i want you to override the sytems and give me control

=he comms jason using a secure line=

phaze the visor unless you want to go blind

(Miranda)

=Even as the doctor reeled back in pain, I was busy untying myself. When I was done, the doctor turned to face me. I charged at him, the pen still in my hand. I hit him in the chest, and we went down to the floor, and I was on top of him. I raised the pen into the air, and brought it down, again, and again, and again=

(Jason)

=Chuck slammed into me, and I went flying. I hit the floor on my back, but I still brought up my rifle. I fired, and the rounds bounced off his shields=

(Jason)

=I got commed by zeru=

=I didn't ask. I just tinted my visor, and kept firing=

(Dormii)
Banshees were spirits that were trapped say...half-way between Living and Dead. They couldn't act upon the world, like move things, only talk. But, even then, their speech was very soft. Those are ghosts before banshees. Banshees are what are created when a ghost haunts a place, and has lost itself to despair and anger. All it can do is scream, which is easily heard. It was said that they would burst from the walls of a home screaming and flying around, causing havoc. Their scream was said to be able to cause unconsciousness, bleeding, and in some cases, ruptured ears. I managed to recreate that scream, on accident originally.

(Laura)

So you made the scream by accident? How did that happen? I doubt one day, you decided 'I'm going to scream!'.

=She smiles.=

=he activates the lights and shuts them all off them starts flashing them on max brightness and darkens and repeats blinding everyone cept miranda and jason=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
No, no. I was on a planet, and I had a forerunner suit. A gift from a friend. I asked for a Banshee, as in the flying machine so I could take down a Covenant base. The suit thought I meant the spirit. So it did the Scream. I managed to turn it off, and, once I got my armor back. I replicated that program over to this armor.

(Laura)

Forerunner suit?

(Jason)

=The lights started flashing, going from bright to dark. from inside my helmet, it just looked like I was blinking slowly. Chuck though, was staggering, disoriented. I decide to charge him myself. I ran at him, and grabbed him, lifting him off the floor. We both went through the wall behind him=

(Miranda)

=The doctor was dead, my hands drenched in blood. Argo appeared on a computer screen nearby=

Miranda, are you oka-- wow, what happened to him?

(Dormii)
Yeah. It was kinda like MJOLNIR only with a few more cool features.

=She leaned against the wall.=

So, it had like a *Yawn* wishing... *Yawn*

=She slid down the wall, asleep.=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
BeP, can you do that armor eject thing Zeru told me about?

--Yes...done--

=the pieces detach and I put them on myself, so I can carry them easier. i pick Laura up and take her to her room, laying her on the bed. i leave and go walking around=

(Miranda)

=I just glared at the A.I., too tired to say a thing=

(Jason)

=We crashed into the next room, and Chuck was on the floor, while I started laying into him with my fists. All of a sudden, his fist hit me, and I was thrown off him. He started to rise, and i could see that his visor was tinted, though he was still a little sluggish=

@ Jason- nice plan, using the lights.

glad to help i'll head to the operating area and assist miranda

=starts heading that way having matt guard the bridge and brings elyon with him=

(Jason)

=I got up, and found that my weapons had fallen off, and Chuck didn't have any weapons either. I did however, have a knife. I pulled it out, and ran at Chuck again. He tried to punch me, but I ducked under the blow, cam up behind him, and brought the knife crashing into his neck. He went down, dead=

(Miranda)

=I used a towel to wipe the blood off me. then, i rose up, and headed for the door=

=opens a door and see miranda=

lets go now

(Miranda)

=The door opened, and there was an elite standing there. I backed away=

Zeru wrote:

Who are you? Where's Jason?

(Jason)

=I left Chuck's corpse there, and made my way to Miranda's room. I saw Zeru standing outside the door=

=his motion sensor shows red and he grabs knives and stabs 2 men in the head as they attempt an ambush=

shall we get going?

(Miranda)

=Two men tried o sneak up on him, and he killed them with knives=

Zeru wrote:

=I walked out of the room, and saw Jason at the end of the hall=

Jason!

=I ran towards him=

(Jason)

=I saw Miranda walk out of the room, and when I saw her, my vision blurred with tears. I ran towards her, and caught her in my arms. I heard her cry=

(Jason)

=I broke the embrace first, but I still held onto her=

Listen, we gotta go. Argo, you still there?

=My speakers crackled a little=

@ Jason- Yes Jason, I'm here. Would you like me to return to the ship?

Yeah, get back to the ship. We'll meet you there.

=he starts leading the way=

i commed matt he's waiting for you on the blacklight


=goes a different direction and arrives at the bridge=

(Jason)

=I turned to face Zeru=

Wait, where are you going?

the bridge bringing this with me

=starts the ship=

(Jason)

Okay then.

=I made sure Miri stayed with me, and we started walking back to the ship. She was still crying=

(Miranda)

You got my message.

=He still had hi helmet on, but the visor was clear. He was smiling, but there were tears=

@ Miranda- Of course I came. I wasn't going to let them hurt you. You, or our child.

=My steps faltered for a moment, as I was reminded of what they did=

Jason.......Jason, I'm so sorry. you don't know what they did.

=I was still wearing the operating gown. I lifted it up a little, to show Jason the scar the ran across my stomach. Jason saw it, and he stopped, his face shocked=

They took our child.

(Dylon)
=i sighed in my chair. Nothing was happening. i decided to go to the armory and workshop so i could work on another revolver=

=comms jason=

can you hear me dude

(Jason)

=I heard Zeru comm me, but I had more pressing things on my mind=

They took our child? They took our child?

=Tears were streaming down her face. I sank to my knees, grief filing my bones=

(Jason)

Zeru wrote:

i heard tell me everything you know about vigil

You want to know about Vigil. Well, fine by me. But not here. Just, not right now.

=I stood up, and walked with Miri back to the ship. We got on a few minutes later, and un-docked from the medical ship. I commed Zeru=

We'll talk back at the Trophaeum, okay?

(Dylon)
=I find another revolver in the armory. I take it to the workshop and get to work. I weld the blade onto the front, mirroring the blade I currently have on my original revolver. I have an idea afterwards, so I can be more versatile in combat. I rake the magazine out and melt it down. I prepare a mold of the new magazine and wait for it to get ready. Once it is, I pout the melted metal into the mold, filling it up. I pour the rest of it into the spare metal mold so it can be stored later. The magazine has been reduced to two shots, and the slots have been enlarged to hold a seven gauge shotgun round. I wait for it to cool before starting the next step=

= i skip down the halls singing=

♪carnival,
can't find my time today...
bright lights from giant wheels,
for only everyway...
and i'm here by my door,
waiting for,
you.
I will never know,
cause you will never show
come on and love me now,
come on and love me now...♪

(Dormii)
=I pass by Talfie in my trip through the ship=
Hi, Talfie.

(Dylon)
=the new mag cools and I dunk it in water before puttin it back in the revolver to test it=

=i stop singing=

oh, hiya Dor! sorry bout' pimp handing you yesterday!

(Dormii)
=I raise an eyebrow behind my helmet=
That was a few days ago, Talfie. It doesn't change the fact that it is okay.

(Dylon)
=I take the revolver over to the drill and put in a bit of appropriate size to allow the pellets to spread enough to make an effective shotgun/scatter shot=

duh, sorry, i forgot i lost my memory of the past two days, i had hit my head... i also apparently tried having sex with rain and he's gone now...

also if you see a 10 1/2 foot tall robot, that's Kota, my friend/ guard.

=syaa walks up=

syaa you mean that robot stunned everyone during that fight instead of helping?

(Dormii)
You okay? Head wounds can be bad. As for your friend, I met him. He almost shot me last night.

=I shrug=
Granted, I had lost it again, but still.

=I give a smile gesture on my helmet=
Seems like a nice guy.

he's a body guard syaa, not an assistant, he's not gonna help anyone unless i say so... if i want him to help, he will,
if i want him to kill, he will.


@dor he can be very protective of me... sorry
