=I move closer so I can hug her=

Talfie.

=I kiss her cheek=

Its okay

(Dante)

=He lands in HD's hanger and heads off to the meeting location=



(Lol)

thanks kris...

(Rain)

=I sigh and smile=

I guess I can get used to bein called Kris again.

*giggle*

yeah...

(Dante)

=He enters the room with Thevo, Wolf, and Koy=
=He takes a seat at the front=

Dante-Okay, First thing is first. The conjoint training of Sangheili and Our Soldiers.

Thevo-I have spoken with my men. With some encouragement they have agreed.

=He nods=

Dante-Good. Let us focus now on the creation of a complete army. Dormii has stated that he will set a sign up list for an idea that he has.

Koy-Sir, Do you have faith in his idea.

=He nods=

Dante-I do. Of course.

Wolf-So. What are your plans.

Dante-We wish for safety and protection. As long as we are at odds with the UNSC. That will never come. The plan is to train these soldiers. All soldiers, equally.

(Rain)

=I smile again=

So. what do you wanna do today.

=i stare off=

(Dormii)
=i finish eating at the restaurant and head back up to the ship. i walk around a bit, not knowing where to go=


(Lana)
So, what do you want to do today, dear?

=i put my arms around him=

Scythe:
whatever you want my love...

(Lana)
=i smile=
Well...we could go explore the planet. Find a new forest to enjoy ourselves in.

sounds good...

(bbl)

(Argo)
=We were getting close to exiting slip-space, so I decided to wake Jason up. Instead of blasting music into his room though, I decided to use the alarm clock, as well as my own voice=

Jason, wake up. We are close to exiting slip-space.

(Jason)
=The alarm clock and Argo's voice woke me up. I got up, put some fresh clothes on, and walked out of the room, towards the elevators=

Got it. Thanks for the wake up Argo.

(Dante)

Wolf-Thats what we've been doing. What we need is to make specialized soldiers. Like you Spartans.

Dante-No. We may create these special soldiers. However we shall not do what they did for Spartans.

=Wolf places his hand on the desk=

Wolf-Sir, Please

Dante-I said no. No is final. We will train them. Those good enough will be asked to join these forces.

Koy-Yes, sir.

=Thevo sits back in his seat=

Thevo-And what of my warriors. What will you do with them.

Dante-Each squad will consist of three soldiers and two warriors.

Thevo-What will come of that.

Dante-Experience. For both the soldiers and warriors.

(Lana)
=i take his hand and lead him out into the ship, leaving the empty tray behind us=

(Dormii)
=i decide to head over to the Repent, to put up the posting for my new squad. i start heading to the hanger=

(Jason)
=I rode the elevator up to the bridge, and sat in the navigations seat. To be honest, I was considering just calling it the pilots seat=

So, how long till we enter normal space?

(Argo)
=I popped up on screen=

I estimate that we will exit the slipstream in no less than thirty minutes.

=sees dormi=


mind if i tag along?

(Dormii)
=i shrug=
Why not? Oh, so when you said you got the armor ready, did you mean all of them with the features?

Koy-And what will these new special forces be called

=He smirks=

Dante-The beauty of the mind is indescribable. I will draw the plans later.

Thevo-Does this conclude our meeting

=He nods=

Dante-It does. Back to your stations.

=They stand and exit the room one at a time=
=He leaves last and heads to the hanger with everyone else=
=He hops on a transport and heads to Repent=

(Dormii)
=we get in a Pelican=
And they each have the unique feature?

(Jason)
=I remained in the seat, though I knew there was nothing I could do: Argo had control of the whole ship, and to be honest, he could pilot the ship better than I could. A half hour later, and we exited slip-space=

=He lifts off and heads out=
=Sitting back in the pilot's seat=

*How do you think it will turn out.*

My hope is that it will turn out well.

*You are never sure of anything*

Oh, there are many things I am sure about.
Just like to think about the negatives.

*You need to be more optimistic, my brother*

I like being like this.
It is actually fun.

(Dormii)
Sweet.

=i go to the pilot's seat and take off, heading for the Repent=
I'm going to go put up the sign up sheet now. If at some point you could get the armor of to the ship for a test run, that'd be awesome.

=The Pelican lands in Repent's hanger=
=Soldiers swarming around it=
=They salute as he steps out=

At ease.

=They lower their arms and head off. Resuming their work=
=He begins talking with a group=

(Jason)
=We were at the edge of the Olympus system, seeing as how we had no idea if the magnetic field had faded. However, scans showed that the field was gone. However, I did not feel like going back into the slip-space again, so instead, I had Argo take the ship at full burn towards Olympus=

I wonder. Did they already blow up the asteroid?

=My question was answered soon. Another half hour into the flight, we came across a massive debris field, and scans showed that the debris was highly irradiated=

I guess they finally did it. They blew it all up.

(Dormii)
=we land in the hanger. i shut down the engines and drop the ramp. i walk out=
Now...where to put it...

(Jason)
=As we sped toward the Trophaeum, the scanner showed that most of the debris had started to get caught in the gravity well of Olympus, and was going to form a ring=

Okay, that is going to be cool to see on a clear night.

=He notices Dormii walk out of the Pelican that had just landed=

Yes, of course.

=He shakes each soldiers hands=

It was nice to meet you all.

=He heads off to Dormii=

(Dormii)
=to Zeru=
What, the sign up sheet? Nah, I'll put it where anyone can get to it. Let them sign up if they want, they'll know the risks.

=i see Draco and wave=

=He approaches them=
=Nodding=

Hello.
How are things.

(Jason)
=I docked with the Trophaeum after Argo let them know who we were=

(Miranda)
=The sound of the ship docking woke me up=

Hmmm, we must be there.

(Dormii)
I'm not going to exclude everyone, Zeru. If they feel like they can win then they will sign up. IF they don't feel like they can then they won't.

=He looks at Zeru=

It is his squad.
It is his call.
Let him do as he sees fit.

=He looks at Dormii=

Tomorrow will be your sparring day with Kris.

=He hears his name being called by a group=
=He nods=

Now. If you will excuse me.
I have people to meet.

=He turns around and heads off=

(Rain)

=I continue looking into her pink eyes=
=I sigh happily and close my eyes=

(Miranda)
=I got out of bed, and took a shower. Once that was done, I got some clean clothes on, and headed for the bridge=

(Jason)
=I was getting ready to exit the ship when Miri walked onto the bridge, freshly showered, and wearing clean clothes=

Morning Miri.

=I walked over to her, and gave her a kiss on the lips=

Have good dreams?

(Dormii)
=i nod and think for a moment. i decide to put it up in the locker rooms. i head off towards them=

(Lana)
=we go over to the grav lift and head down=

=starts walking around the ship=

(Miranda)
=I smiled=

They're always good. So, breakfast?

(Jason)
=I think my stomach roared in agreement=

Sure. Let's go.

=We exited the ship, and made our way to the mess=

=He nods, leaving the group=
=He heads off to the observation room=
=Once there he sets up the training=
=He speaks into the microphone=

Begin.
May you all do great.

=He sits back and watches=

(Miranda)
=While we walked to the mess, I noticed something strange. As Jason walked, his foot seemed to drag across the floor, but he didn't seem to notice=

Jason, are you okay?

(Jason)
=I stopped walking=

What's wrong?

(Miranda)
=I pointed at his foot=

You were dragging your foot.

(Dormii)
=i head into the locker rooms. i put up a data slate in each one with a sign up spot as well as the details of it. Once I'm done, I head up to the observation room. i see Draco=
Hey, how are they doing?

(Jason)
=I looked down at my feet. I decided to walk towards her, and I was shocked when I saw that my foot did not get off the ground. I felt nothing=

Change of plans. We're going to the med bay.

=He nods=

They are doing well.
Each has something to offer.

=He flips a button=
=Doors open. Letting Sangheili warriors into the mix=
=He speaks into the microphone=

Say hello to your allies
Resume and commence.

(Dormii)
Elites, eh? Interesting.

(Lana)
=we get to the bottom and start walking around, hand in hand=

=He nods=

Yes.
I want to integrate training.
Have them get used to fighting with each other instead of against.

(Jason)
=As we walked to the med bay, the numbness in my leg went away. I was able to walk normally again, but that did not make me feel better. Between my hand last night, and now my leg? I needed an answer. When we got to the med bay, I asked for a doctor, and Miri and i were guided to an exam bed=

(Jason)
=We didn't wait long. A doctor arrived to see me=

*Doctor*

So, what's the problem?

(Jason)

I don't know, I was hoping you could give me some answers. Last night, I had trouble closing my hand around a toothbrush.

=I felt Miri give me a look of shock. I had neglected to tell her that, so I was sure she felt hurt=

And just now, I couldn't lift my foot to walk. I almost dragged myself here, before I could move my leg again.

(Rain)

=My eyes open to her closed eyes=
=I resume rubbing her back=

Hmm...

=The team investigating the building where the rebels were try to find another way in. The rebels have been stuck in the building for a few hours now. The Vulture gets to Aces last location, they cannot be found. Christopher is still not found=

InvestigationTeam- Anything?

Marines - Not yet. There may be an underground route. The entrance it about a fourth of a mile east.

InvestTeam - We will go look for it.
