Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 3

(I look and see two people in a conversation)

I should recognize him...but I'll drop it.

(I take my meal and sit near by)

(I introduce myself)

@Jason I'm Matt Davis. Mind introducing yourself?

(Dormii)
=i look at Draco=
I'm fine, but who are Weaver and Gin?

(Jason)

What do you mean?

=just then a new guy interrupted the conversation=

(D/Z)

The two Spartans in the large armor.

=He looks off=

If I recall you met already.

(Jason)

Uh, my name is Jason, and you are interrupting my conversation with my girlfriend.

(Dormii)
=i think for a moment=
Were they the ones in the cell block? One of them had broken the arm of one of the prisoners?

(I run my hand through my hair)

@Jason Sorry about that. Go on. I'm just here for the company

(D/Z)

=He nods=

Yes.
You can call them essentially my bodygaurds.

=He shrugs=

(Rain)

=I sit back. Relaxing again=

(Jason)

=Okay, even I know that you never ignore your girlfriend when she is talking, but this guy struck me as being a little rude=

I was hoping to have a nice quite lunch with my girlfriend. Just the two of us, you know. So if you don't mind, could you get social with someone else?

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Interesting. Do they ever take off their armor?

(D/Z)

=He shakes his head=

Not normally.
If they do I do not pay attention.

Zayne-You dont even know what they look like! =Laughter=

=He turns his head=
=Quietly=

Hush

=He looks up to the lights on the ceiling=

(I listen and move away)

Shows me I never learned any social graces from father or mother.

(I pull out my knife)

I miss dad. I wish you could see me now.

(Dormii)
Huh. I didn't think anyone could live their life in armor.

=i stop and go to the edge of the pool. i pull myself out and sit on the edge, examining my scars=

(Jason)

=I turned back to Miri, who looked slightly annoyed=

Uh, sorry about that. But you have my full attention this time. So, what is the problem that you wanted to discuss?

(Miranda)

It's not so much a problem as it it is a requirement: we need a crew.

(D/Z)

=He stands and goes to the lights=
=He dims them a bit so he can take off the sunglasses=
=He returns to his spot and takes off the glasses=

Do not attack me.
He has not fully taken control.

=He coughs=

Zayne-Oh you wait. Ill get out again =Laughter=

(Dormii)
=i stop immediately and look at Draco=
Zayne?

=He nods=

Partially.
I have control over my mind and body movements as of now.

He is really only here to annoy.

(Dormii)
=i look him in his eye=
You know what I will do if he gets out, Draco. I'm sorry, but I will do it. Or at least try, anyway.

(Jason)

A crew? Miri, what's wrong with it being just the two of us?

(Miranda)

Well, Argo can run diagnostics, but let's face it. With the engines, we need someone that's a skilled mechanic, and as far as the med-bay goes, we need a doctor.

=He nods=

I know.
I will not blame you for what you may do.

Zayne-I WILL! =laughter=

(I head to the workshop and see some paint I could use)

Excellent, I should be able to make a change to the ship...

(I start painting my crest onto the door to the cockpit)

Its all for you dad...my thanks as one of the clansmen

(I finish and start on the outside of the ship)

(Dormii)
=i nod as well=
Okay.

=i resume checking my scars. i see some of them have opened again=
Damn...

(convulsions stop after an hour)
(semi-comatose)

(Jason)

Okay, you've got me there. We do need a doctor. But a mechanic? Argo can just tell us what to do.

(Miranda)

Maybe, but we need someone who won't need instructions.

=He takes his arm off and looks at it=
=It had been badly damaged during the fight=

Great.
Clean it and repair it.

=He puts it to the side=

Oh well.

=He takes the ring from his pocket=
=He smiles, looking at it=

(Sarah)

=She checks on the patient known as Nick=

Hmm.
Unknown cause of these convulsions.
Interesting

(Jason)

Well, do you want me to start hiring people?

(Miranda)

Not really. I know exactly who we need to get. They're some old friends of mine, when I was with the rebels.

(Dormii)
=i get up and start drying myself off, careful of my scars=
Dammit...I'm going to go get myself patched up. See you guys later.

=i grab my clothes and put them on, heading to the medbay=

(Dante)

=His eye goes red=
=Zayne fades off=

Good Riddance.

=He sighs and continues staring into the ring=

(Rain)

A ring?

=I smile=

Is my cousin gettin married?

Dante-Yes.

Rain-Who is the lucky girl?

Dante-You do not know her.

(Jason)

I don't know about hiring rebels Miri. They might not like me much, all things considered.

(Miranda)

They know me well enough to know that there would be a reason I was staying with you. Plus, once you tell them that you left the UNSC, they'll warm up to you.

(Dormii)
=i arrive in the medbay=
Hey, anyone got a few minutes?

(Sarah)

=She approaches Dormii=

Well hello Dormii. How may I help you?

=She sees the bleeding scars=

Oh!

=She whistles and a group of doctors take him to a table=

Dont worry =She smiles=

Its going to be fine.

(Jason)

Yeah, and when they find out about how I'm the one responsible for your brother, they'll want to tear out my entrails and strangle me with them.

(severe convulsions)
(severe contractile force [of the muscles])

(Dormii)
=i smile back=
I have no doubt about that.

=i lie down on the table=
I just don't want to get blood all over these nice clean beds.

=i chuckle and try not to move=

(Sarah)

=She sends some doctors to Nick's bed=

Figure out what is wrong with him. Now!

D1-Yes ma'am!

=She returns to Dormii=

Just relax.

=She begins cleaning the wounds=

Try to sleep. =She shrugs= It works sometimes.

(Dormii)
=i look at her=
Help with what? The pain? I went through worse when I made these.

(Miranda)

They'll understand Jason. Granted, it won't be easy, but they will understand that it wasn't your fault.

(Jason)

Alright, where do we find these people?

(Sarah)

=She sighs=

Just a suggestion.
You dont have to bite my head off...

(Dormii)
Sorry, didn't mean to sound so...what's the word? Asshole-ish? Just kinda wanted that part of my life to not bother me again.

=i smile, partly=
Sorry.

(Sarah)

Yeah...

=She begins to close up the wounds=

(Miranda)

Well, I'll put some feelers out, and ask where they are. If we're lucky, they'll turn up.

=I got up=

In the meantime, we just do what we do.

(Jason)

And what is it that we do?

=I bobbed my eyebrows at her=

Other than eachother?

(Dormii)
=i wait until she is finished to sit up=
Thank you. You need any help with anything?

(Sarah)

=She shakes her head=

Nope. Not a thing.

=She yawns and points=

Nick over there has been giving us trouble.
We dont know what has been =yawn= causing it.

=She stretches=

Im going off to bed. My shift is ending.

=She leaves=

(Dante and Rain)

=They had left the pool room to go to their rooms=

(Miranda)

=I arched a brow at him=

Well, one thing I do is beat the crap out of boyfriends that can't get there heads out of the gutter.

(Dormii)
=i nod as she leaves. i head to the messhall for some food, careful of the stitches and bandages=

(Jason)

Hey, I'm just saying. You are a very, very, skilled woman.

(Miranda)

=I let out a huff of air, and walked away=

(Jason)

And you're quite flexible too!

=she gave me the finger she she walked away. I also noticed that Dormii had walked in=

Hey Dormii.

(the straps strain, metal bends)
(the convulsions increase)

(Dormii)
=i watch Miranda leave. i go sit down with Jason=
Should I ask?

(Jason)

Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Man, I can't even make jokes anymore.

=I noticed the stitches=

oooh, what happened there?

(Dormii)
=i shrug=
Old scars opened up. Had to get them patched.
