Chapter 7 War, War never changes

(Dormii)
=i comm Bullet=
Hey, Bullet, can I borrow you and a few of your soldiers for something?

(Dylon)
=i reply=
Depends on what it is.

(Dormii)
I'm going to show someone what it's like to be a Spartan.

(Dylon)
Sounds like fun. Where are we going?

(Dormii)
To that empty frigate in orbit. Well, the one that's intact.

(Dylon)
=i chuckle=
Okay. I'll meet you there for details. How many men do you need?

(Dormii)
Just a few. I'll meet you in it's hanger.

(Dylon)
Understood. Meet you there.

(Dormii)
Meet you there.

=i cut the comm and put my armor on. heading out into the ship towards the hanger so I can get a ride=

(puzzled)

uh, ok, i don't really know what you meant by that... but whatever i think.

yep...

(Dante and Sarah)

(She finished the stitches)

Youre all better now.

(She takes a lollipop from a table that was in a container)

Here you...

(She pauses and laughs)

Being around children gets to you

(She shrugs and lays it next to Artyom)

(They both head out)


(Rain)

=I sigh and stick out my hand=

Sorry for my rudeness
My name is Rain.

(Artyom)

=He wakes up slightly, noticing that nobody is around.=

(Laura)

=She arrives at the hangar, and looks around.=

Step 1... Find out how to fly a Pelican.

(Dormii)
=i walk into the hanger and see Laura=
Hey, you ready?

(Laura)

Oh hey Dormii, yeah I'm ready.

hiya Rain, it's alright, i'm kinda used to it, bein a stowaway on this here ship after all, well, sort of...

(They shake hands)

(Rain)

A stowaway.
Interesting.


(Dante and Sarah)

(Comms)

Dante-Weaver. Gin. Report to the medbay to watch Artyom

W/G-Sir!

(Dormii)
=i nod and climb into a Pelican=
Okay. Now, a few friends are going to meet us on the frigate. They're going to help me demonstrate what I meant when I said "It's not something to discuss over food." Mostly though, this is just for more armor time.

(Dylon)
=i gather some men and we head over to the frigate in a Pelican. we land and wait for Dormii=

yeah! it is. rather by accident too, haven't figured out how to get off, i keep getting lost.

(he laughs)

Sounds like fun.

=She climbs into the Pelican.=

(Artyom)

=He notices the thing (Lollipop) next to him. He picked it up and looked at it.=

What the hell are you?

kota:

=he walks over to talfie, nick, and rain=

excuse me, miss?

=he hands talfie her umbrella=

you forgot this...

(Dormii)
=i fly the Pelican over to the frigate and land=
Here we are. One second while I set things up.

=i drop the ramp and go talk with Dylon. He nods and his men and him go off into the ship. i turn back to Laura=
Ready for armor run number two?

=i take my helmet off and smile=

=Zero heads to the Hanger and waits for a Pelican to come pick him up and bring him over to the Comet. One comes, and he heads over and lands in the Hanger. There are soldiers crowded around and some cheering is heard. He waits for the Captain to meet him there=

=She nods.=

It can't be much tougher than last time, can it?

=She smiles.=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
Hopefully not. How squeamish are you?

=i start taking off my armor=

(Rain)

=I nod=

Right.


(Weaver and Gin)

(They appear in the medbay)

=She tries putting on a deep voice.=

I'm an ODST and blah, blah blah, no fear! Blah blah blah.

=She smiles.=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle again and finish taking my armor off=
Feet first into hell blah blah blah, right?

=he finds a transport and heads to the ac and tries asking for xazhi=

=She nods, and smiles.=

Yeap, that's it.

(Dormii)
=i set the boots up so she can step into them=
Whenever you are ready.

Talfie:

thanks kota!

=i spin my umbrella over my head=

=The soldiers all give the same answer=

Soldiers- The captian is that way.

=They all point to one section of the Hanger where a Pelican has recently landed=

=She steps into the boots.=

Ready.

=heads in that direction=

(Dormii)
=i start putting the armor on like last time=
Same rules, wait until I turn down the force multipliers to move.

=Zero looks through the crowd and sees Zeru approaching=

Good afternoon.

(Senox)

=He enters the messhall, and looks around.=

(Laura)

Or I brake every bone in my body, right?

(Dormii)
=i continue putting the armor on=
Well, no, only the ones you move.

=She smiles.=

I guess that makes it slightly better.

(Rain)

=I watch her and smile=

How about the fire?
Havent seen it in awhile.

=I chuckle=


(Dante and Sarah)

(They had entered the messhall)
(She went off to a group of friends she had met)

(He goes off to the table where Rain is)
(He sits down)

Dante-I never got to say welcome back, Cousin.

Rain(Looking at Dante)-Yeah...Thanks...

Who is Xazhi?


(Xazhi)

=After a long day of Training, Xazhi heads up to the hanger and sees a large crowd off in the distance=

(Dormii)
=i smile back=
So much better.

=i put the final pieces on and then lower the helmet into place. the armor locks and BeP lower the multipliers. the armor unlocks=
Okay, all set. Ready to give it a go and see why I hate myself sometimes?

(I continue to sit at the table, where Talfie waves the umbrella)

What is she doing?

(Laura)

Sure, I guess.

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Okay, let's go.

=i motion for her to start walking=

BeP, turn off the eye clicker, okay?

--Done--

Thank you.

(Dylon)
=my men and I get set up in our positions, waiting=

(Dante)

(He nods to the new person)

Hey, names Draco.

(Rain)

=I look at my cousin=

Hey...uh...I was wonderin...

(Dante)

(He looks at Rain)

Yes, Kris?

=She begins walking.=

So what is it exactly, that makes you hate yourself sometimes?

I'm just enjoying myself...

=i spit a flame=

(Rain)

=I sigh at my name=

I was wonderin if I could join your...crew?


(Dante)

(He sits back)

There isnt much of a crew.
Andrea, Sarah, Weaver, Gin, and Myself.

*Yeah. I do most of the work! -laughs-*

Exactly.

(Dormii)
Well, a long time ago, I was in charge of a squad. On our first mission, half of them died, and one of them was captured. I thought they were all killed, and I took it badly. They gave me another squad, but I didn't care. I didn't even bother to learn their names and, just like before, they all died. I lost it even further.

(Rain)

=I look at him=

Is that a yes. Or not.
Dont run me around the pole, Cousin.


(Dante)

I say yes. Andrea?

*Why not. If you can refrain from killing each other*

There you go.


(Rain)

Thanks...

It's okay... We all make mistakes...

(Artyom)

=He throws the thing (Lollipop) at one of the robot things (Gin).=

(Weaver and Gin)

(Gin catches the lollipop and crushes it)

G-We have been ordered to not harm you

W-Only follow to where you wish to go.

G-Do not make us bend the rules

(I sit there studying the man talking)

(Dormii)
Yeah, well. It gets better. After my second team died, I went berserk. I killed off an entire colony. Burned it to the ground, left no survivors. All of the building were reduced to charred metal, ash floated on an idle breeze, and the cries of the dying was everywhere.

=we turn a corner into a hallway filled with dead bodies. Blood is everywhere, and the bodies have just started to decompose=
BeP, sound, please.

-=BeP plays the sound of faint screams as well as fires burning=-


=i close my eyes so i don't see it=
I walked through the wreckage, the debris, the bodies, and I killed anyone, ANYONE, who was left alive.

=BeP plays gunshots as we walk through. Some of Dylon's men act like survivors, reaching out and asking for help. As we pass them a gunshot sounds and they fall, as if they were shot==

Don't think about it... Shit... Shit...

=She looks around at the... Carnage.=
