Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 4

"Yup....Man....Hey...hows my A.I going?"

(Dormii)
=i laugh=
Sorry Sarah.

=i go to wave and end up sinking. i come up smiling=
Hi!

=to Matt=
Good. I got a diagnostic running right now. When it's done, we'll see if anything is wrong with him.

"Alright man....awesome, I hope he's alright"

=Thevo nods=

Thevo-The destruction of both the Covenant and the UNSC.

Dante-Yes. I have one question for you.

Thevo-I have an answer, my friend.

=He smiles=

Dante-Will you join us in our cause.

Thevo-Yes. I shall. However, I have one demand

=He looks at Thevo=

Dante-Yes.

Thevo-I require. My ships return unto my ownership.

(Sarah and Rain)

=I sigh floating around in the water. Letting it take me=

=She splashes Dormii=

Hi!

=She laughs=

(Miranda)

=While I was sitting at the table, I saw Gabby come running out of her room=

Uh, morning Gabby.

(Gabby)

Sorry Miri, can't talk. Got to work.

(Miranda)

Oh, okay then.

Well, that was rude.

(Dormii)
=i splash her back=
So, how's things?

(Jason)

=Okay, I will say this much: walking around aimlessly on a massive super-carrier can be very boring, especially if you've done more than once=

I think I passed that mess hall twice now.

=He shakes his head=

Dante-Heaven's Descent is under my command. As well as Repent, this ship, and Transcending Soul. I shall not give up ownership.

=Thevo sighs=

Thevo-I understand.

=Thevo looks up=

Thevo-Heaven's Descent. That is a very good name for that ship.

Dante-I thought so. Thevo. How many warriors are under your command.

=Without skipping a beat=

Thevo-three thousand brave warriors.

=He nods=

Dante-I require one thousand of your men. Do we have a deal. =He holds out his hand=

=Thevo takes his hand=

Thevo-Night's End and it's crew is now under your command. My friend.

(Sarah)

=She sighs and shakes her head=

I have it all cleared up with Dante..

=She looks at Dormii=

But now...theres this thing with Talfie..

(Dormii)
=i look back, sympathetic=
You wanna talk about it?

(Jason)

=The third time I walked by the mess hall, I decided that enough was enough. I made my way back to my ship, but I wasn't planning on staying. I was going to get my armor back on, go planetside again, and go farther on my walk=

Anything to break the routine of this place.

=I got back to my ship, and found Miri sitting at the table=

Hey, what's up?

(Miranda)

Oh, nothing much. It's just a slow day.

=He nods, turning to the guards=

Alert everyone. Tell them to not open fire on our new friends

=They salute and go off=
=He turns to Thevo=

Dante-It is good to have you with us Thevo

Thevo-Death to the UNSC. Death to the Covenant

=They head out. Thevo off to Night's End. Dante off to the Trophaeum's pool=
=He boards a Pelican and heads out. He lands and goes off to the pool=

Our forces grow stronger each day

=He looks up=

You are truly my Angel

=Tears begin to fall=

That is what hurts

=He enters the pool room. Wiping away the tears=

(Sarah)

=She nods=

After my kiss with Dante.
Which I know was wrong. I needed him to know how I felt.

=She shakes her head=

Anyway. After the kiss I went to the messhall.
I sat with Talfie and she kissed me on the cheek.

=She sighs=

I am so confused

(Dormii)
=i smile=
What is confusing about it? She likes you, you like him. Unless you do like her. Do you?

=i raise an eyebrow=

(Sarah)

=She watches as he enters=

Like I said. I dont know how I feel...

=Continuing to swim around=

(Dante)

=He goes off to the side of the pool and sits down=

(Dormii)
Well, tell me what you like about Talfie.

(Sarah)

=She sighs=

Dormii.
Drop it. Please.

(Dante)

=He recieves a comm from Thevo=

Yeah.
Okay.
eight hundred warriors. two hundred engineers.
Yeah.
Thank you.

=He cuts the comm and looks up=

Tar:

...

=i wake up in the hall on the floor=


Talfie:

=i finish eating=

(Jason)

=I sat down next to her=

Well, if your bored, I was going to head back down to the planet. Wanna come along?

(Miranda)

Sure, why not? Give me a minute. Let me get some better clothes on.

(Jason)

No problem. I'll pack a lunch.

(Dormii)
=i put my hands up=
Okay, okay. Just trying to help you figure things out. Making a list usually helps.

=i swim over to the side of the pool and climb out. i grab a towel and start drying myself off. to Draco=
Should I go get things ready? Or not today?

(Dante)

=He shakes his head=

Not today.
I have new warriors being stationed.
I want them settled before anything else.

=He looks at Sarah=

And to give her a day off.

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Okay.

=i look at Sarah for a moment=
I think she's earned the break.

=i start getting my gear on=
I'll see you all, later.

=i wave as I leave=

(Dante)

=He nods=

Goodbye.

(Sarah and Rain)

=She waves=

=I get out of the pool and head out to my room=

Rain-[/i]God...Why am I on edge...[i]

Talfie:

=i go to the rec room for a swim=

(Lana)
=i sleep for a lot longer than I mean to. i wiggle a bit and hold Kurbis closer, and fall asleep even more=

=i take my shoes off and sit on the edge=

♪humming♪

(Sarah)

=She looks at Talfie=

Hey Talfie

(Dante)

=He sits back and watches=

=i wave=

(Sarah)

=She swims over to her=
=Leaning her back against the pool wall=

How are you...

I'm good, you?

(Sarah)

Im..good.

=She looks up to her=

No hug?

=She smiles a little=

well, if you want...

=She sighs=

Look..I dont want things to be awkward between us..

=She returns her gaze to the pool=

(Dante)

=He stands and heads out. Nodding to the two=

Dante-Sarah. Training tomorrow. Okay.

Sarah(nods)-Yeah...

=He exits and heads down to the planet to her site. Making the fire and curling up=

do you want a hug?

=i look at her=

=She nods=

Do you wanna give me a hug?

of coarse i will...

=i slip my things off and slide into the pool before hugging her=

i'm sorry i kissed you...

(Sarah)

Talfie.
I said it was okay.

Like I said. Its not like I didnt like it.
I was just confused at the time.

=i hug her tighter=

...

(Sarah)

=She squeezes her=

Hmm...

=i rub her back=

i'm glad we're still friends...

(Sarah)

=She feels her rub her back=

Mmm...

=She begins moving her hips=

I am too...

=i push against her=

Well, i hope i didn't make things awkward between us...

=The three Recon ships come out of slipspace over Riedova. Huge clusters of Pelicans disperse from the Recon ships and head down Planet-side. The Recon ships jump out of the system before the UNSC fleet can fire on them. Xazhi looks out of his and Delta's pelican at another. AA fire begins to rock the ships. One of the pelicans gets hit head-on, and falls to the ground in a fiery skeletal wreck. The pelicans land in no particular order or pattern, and dump off their troops, which scramble to their closest designated trenches that had been dug all around the Cobalt Moon. Delta and Xazhi Get into theirs, and await orders from the field commander=

(The scene should look like this from above.)

Spoiler:

(Sarah)

=She shakes her head=
=Moving her hips harder=

You didnt...

dang, those hips are really movin', you okay?

=Delta, Xazhi, and their squad are about to charge when they start getting pounded by artillery fire. They decide to instead hold the line. Delta and Xazhi are ordered back to the Cobalt Moon. They board a pelican and head out=

=Solamir gets in a pelican and heads over to the Trophaeum=

(Sarah)

=She nods=

My shift is starting.
Im late. I need to go.

=She pulls away and heads to the changing room=
=She heads out to the medbay=

=i change back and follow her=

well, i'll see you around later tomorrow...

= i give her a quick hug=

=I cough, I look around the bright room. So bright, I have to squint my eyes=

=I breath heavily=

Scythe:

=i wake up and look at snow=

why did you shoot us?

=I drop my head to the side and look at Scythe=

=I hear nothing but my own breathing=

Why did you shoot us!?
