Chapter 7 War, War never changes

(Dormii)
I may have a guess.

syaa i know that's one thing her and zeru have in common they both keep trying to be happy and make the best of things and like zeru said once we're all like family so can we at least act like it?



hey it's true our char's are like family and family sticks together no matter what

@syaa, she doesn't try to be happy, she is happy.

@dor, what is your guess?

(Dormii)
She represses it. She does what I did long ago, and it got bad enough that it required a mem-wipe in order for me to do what others wanted. If my guess is true, she needs to let it out, to share it with someone, so it won't build up. However, if that is not true, my other guess is that she does not let the past affect who she is.

both are correct. she let's most of the build up of the pain out by getting attention... she feels the sorrow leave her when she is the center of it all.

=his heavy steps bring him to outside of Talfie's door, where he guards her=

(Dormii)
=i had followed him=
But even the smallest bit leaves a stain, a spot for it to grow and grow until it consumes her. If you can, let her know that. As well as that if she ever needs an outlet, someone to talk to, someone to listen and help carry her pains, I'm always ready.

=i nod to Kota and start walking away=


(Dylon)
=the second magazine is ready, and I dunk it in water to cool it off and harden it. i pour another, using some of the spare metal=

=syaa follows him=

we will need to care care of those ships ou there?

(Dormii)
=i look at Syaa=
What do you mean?

(Dylon)
=as i wait, i load a the new magazine, and put it in a pocket. the third magazine finishes and i pull it out and dunk it in the water. i pour a fourth and then load up the next mag, putting it in the same pocket=

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Should we do it now? Or wait until we get some others involved?

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Okay. I have a plan or two for the frigate i cleared. I have a question, so you think Zeru, or you for that matter, might be able to make a suit similar to MJOLNIR?

(Dormii)
A HUD similar to MJOLNIR, the capability to go from Atmosphere to Vacuum as well as fight and maneuver in both, and a built in comm unit. I've had ideas of having a specialized ship boarding squad. It'd be better if they all had MJOLNIR, but there aren't any available Spartans nearby, and I don't think we have the resources for that, anyway. As long as it has those three things, I can work with them. And that frigate I got us can help as well.

(Dormii)
=i shake my head=
Nope, that's it. It doesn't even have to have shields, if it makes things easier.

=i nod to her and start walking=
Good night, Syaa.

=she heads to the bridge=

talk to zeru when he gets back and ask him for whatever amount you need

(Dormii)
=i go to my room, take my armor off, and lay down on the bed, falling asleep=


(Dylon)
=i let my mind wander as i go through the repetitive tasks or pouring, cooling, loading and storing the new mags=

(Lana)
=i press closer to Kurbis=
Another day wasted...hm...I wonder why...

=i giggle a bit and fall asleep again=

(Jason)

=We both sat there, in the cold, letting the water drench us. I still held her hand, and continued to tell her it would be okay, but I could hear the hollowness of my words. I couldn't tell whether it was the water from the shower, or tears, that were running down both our faces=

(Miranda)

=I knew Jason was there with me. I heard his voice. It helped me get out of the darkness of my memories. but the whole time, a single song kept playing in my head, feeding my sorrow: Marsden's Lament=

Jason. =I said, my voice starting to break= They didn't just take our child.

=i laid a hand over my stomach, over my womb=

What they did to get our child, it......it...it made me unable to ever....I can never have children. I'll never be able to feel, our child, grow inside me. I can't ever..........

=I broke down right there. I laid my head on his shoulder, and cried harder than the day my brother died=

(Argo)

Ah, now that piece, I can give limited info on. The Blacklight was created by Vigil using reverse engineered Covenant technology. The tech was recovered from the wreckage of a stealth ship that was crippled during the battle of Sigma Octanus IV. The tech recovered allows the ship to use the same light shifting ability as elites, as well as an onboard suit of jammers and scamblers. Also, the engines, reactor, and slip-space drive were recovered from both the same stealth ship, and a multitude of other ships. In short, this ship is faster than any other ship in the UNSC fleet, and can make faster, more accurate slip-space jumps, than a standard UNSC ship. It has no weapons though, however I think Jason will want to install some during the refits.

(Laura)

=She woke up slightly, still mostly asleep, and just lay on her bed.=

(Artyom)

=He woke up, hands still cuffed together. He sat on his bed, waiting for... Something.=

So... I just have to try to not try to escape... Sounds... Simple...

(Senox)

=I continue dragging the bodies of the boarders off of the ship, and into the 'grave'.=

God damn humans, weigh way too much.

=The Human me appears.=

Oh no...

Tar:

=he wakes up and goes to check on Aura=

...where did she go!?

=he runs around the ship searching for her=

(Okay, to avoid having to write a 3-book report on what ive been doing in my irl abscense, im putting it like this. The MCR-II is now standard-issue in the RSS, Xazhi has his VES upgrades [From the origional Chapter7], The base is up and running [and generally everything i had said in the origional Chapter7 stands for the RSS]. I dont know how im going to explain Zero's lack of doing anything in the story, so if its alright with everyone involved, im going to say he was training on the planet's surface, and got there in a pelican right after i left irl. Although what i will say for sure on that part is that he has been thinking heavily about his mission to the Azure Comet, and has been keeping in communications with it [to make himself seem freindly], and the crew there refering to him as 'Captain Delta' over comms has been driving him insane [not really]. Aura [Who i seriously keep forgetting exists] has been well for a while, and is doing other shit im too lazy to come up with atm :) . Now ill get back to the Story. P.S. i should be getting my computer back today, and if thats the case, ill be on 24/7 again, Just like old times :) .)


=After many days of training, Zero heads back to the pelican. He loads his gear and sits in the back, looking off at the horizon. He had been thinking about everything lately. About the UNSC, and how he wad going to get back. About the Azure Comet, about the 'memories', and about the Delta Wing. He still did not know what it meant. He heads to the cockpit and fires up the Pelican. It takes off and heads towards the Trophaeum=

Kota:

...


Talfie:

*nyaaa... morning.

=i get my usual get-up on and head to the mess hall, Kota following=

=Delthia, now wandering the halls, finds Tar-Tun=

Del- Hey, Tar...



(Xazhi)

=Xazhi watches closely as the doctors finally finish implanting the organs into Xazhi's partner shell. He stands there and waits for the doctors to give him the okay to bring it online=

Tar:

=he turns and sees her=

Aura!

Del- Hi, Tar. Feeling better? You know... After you stabbed me and all?

i stabbed you because you were trying to make me kill you to prove my love, which is pointless because you'd be dead.

Del- But then we'd be dead together.

=She smiles=

(I dont even know what the fuck...)

(Dante)

(He wakes up)
(The nausea subsided)

I should...eat more

(He stands up and removes the sling)
(He moves his arm around)
(A dull pain, however it is manageable)
(He puts on his armor)
(Remembering Andrea is still in the armlet)

(He heads off to the messhall)

no, i'd be still be alive...

=She sings softly=

♪When you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you;re dead i will be still alive.
Still alive
Still alive...♪

=She continues down the hall towards the messhall=



(Zero)

=His Pelican lands in the Trophaeum's Hanger. He grabs his things and heads off into the ship=

(Dante)

(He had passed by Rain's room)
(The Katars out in the open)

Hmm.
Interesting.
Thought he had left.

(He continues on to the messhall)
(Once there he goes up to the counter)
(He grabs a couple of pancakes and some water)

(He goes off to a table and sits down)
(Saying a short prayer before he begins)

...

=he follows=

this girl is going to kill me




Talfie:

= i grab 12 pancakes and start eating=


kota:

your metabolism hasn't changed miss...

=He knocks on the cell door, to see if anybody is out there.=

(Dante)

(While eating he activates comms with Weaver and Gin)

Dante-Weaver. Gin. Come in.

W/G-Sir!

Dante-Cell block -swallow- C. Go there.

W/G-Yes


(Rain)

=I wake up and stretch=

Actually...the best sleep I have had...

=I put on my clothes and head to the messhall=

=i stretch after i finish eating=

*nyaaa... I needed that



Kota:

yes miss

=He knocks once again.=

Somehow... I think this idea, was a bad idea...

(Rain)

=I enter the messhall=
=Seeing Talfie and my cousin=

=I walk up to the counter=

Hmm.

=I take some eggs, bacon, and sausage=
=I stand there a moment=


(W/G)

(They find Cell Block C and guard the door)

=i see rain and stand up=

rain your back!

=i tackle him with a hug=

what made you come back?

=He knocks, once again.=

=She continues singing as she walks down the hall=

♪Wenn du weinst, geht es mir gut.
Die hand deiner angst, futtert mein blut.♪

Sing with me, Tar.

=She starts dancing in circles slowly down the hall=

♪Fuhre mich.
Halte mich.
Ich fuhle dich.
Verlass mich nicht,
ich verlass Dich nicht.♪

(I want everybody to be entirely honest with me here... How drugged out does she sound right now?)



(Xazhi)

=He stands next to the table where the recently completed 'Soul' lies. It comes online, and it emitts a deep blue light from its eyes, and some lights on its armor. Xazhi speaks softly, as if to a child=

Xaz- Ghost. Can you hear me?

=The lights turn a slightly dimmer blue, as if to indicate calmness. It speaks with a monotone and metallic voice=

Gst- Yes.

Xaz- Can you stand?

Gst- Yes.

Xaz- Then rise.

=Ghost sits up and turns himself. It gets up off the bed and stands, looking down at Xazhi. He smiles=

(Rain)

=I return her hug=

Well.
Thinking I would have a better chance of surviving if I stayed here

=I look at her=

And...you...


(Dante)

(He looks at the two and sighs)
(He continues eating)


(W/G)

Gin-Yes, prisoner?

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

(Messhall)

Tar:

=he can just watch her=



Tal:

well, i'm glad you returned, your one of my friends.


(xazhi, she seems totaly wrecked)

(W/G)

(Weaver opens the door and gets behind him)
(Gin in front)

(They lead him to the messhall)


(Dante)

(He finishes his pancakes, but stays there)
(Talking to people as they pass)
(Watching his cousin carefully)


(Rain)

=I smile and squeeze her again=

How have you been?

=I go off to a table and sit down. I begin eating=

=They get to the Messhall, and he goes over and grabs a pancake. He sits down at a table.=

(W/G)

(They watch Artyom closely)


(Dante)

(He watches Artyom)

= i sit across from him=

i've been good, same old, same old.

=He looks around.=

Run out the front door... Suicidal... Alarm... Could work...
