(Dormii)
=i sit down in the falcon, still holding my shoulder=
That's the way to the town. Why would I be dead.

=he doesn't answer. Instead, he just takes off and we head back to the Trophaeum. Once there, I go to the medbay to get cleaned up=

=The chair is facing a window=
=The person's hands tied behind the chair=
=He walks behind the hostage and slices the rope=
=The person wakes up from a sleep=

How could they sleep

=He shakes his head and goes around to face the person=
=His eyes go over the persons body=

Andrea.
Did you do this.

=Focusing on the face, the eyes=

*Yes...that is the hostage*

Ash...

=The hologram stands up, hugging him=
=He smiles weakly. He leads her out. Checking for any more soldiers. Heading downstairs and to the computer. Taking Andrea=

(Dormii)
=i lie there on the bed as the doctors get to work on me, fixing up my wounds and such=

=The UNSC Doubt and Trust sits there, silent. There is much suspence. The captain as well as most of the crew get the gut feeling that they are about to be blown out of the sky=


=Xazhi, Lori, and the Kid are still riding through the town, looking for a way off-world=

=sits the in the hangar bay=

(Dormii)
=i get patched up, but they don't have anything for a new arm yet. I get up and walk to the pool room, back to square one=
Fuuuuuuccckkk......

Where do we need to go.

*Marking. Center of the Cul-de-sac*

=He nods=
=Helping the hologram to the middle=

*Mission objectives. Stealth: Failure*

Yes.

*Retrieval of Hostage: Pass*

=As she says that the hologram fades=

*Retrieval of Intel: Pass*

=The area disappears=
=He sighs=

*Overall performance: Pass*

=He blacks out=

=starts walking the hallways=

(Dormii)
=i jump into the water and start swimming, ignoring the bandages=

(Rain)

=I had been sleeping for awhile now=
=A couple days to be exact=
=I wake up. Stretch. Grabbing at my stomach=
=It felt as if it was eating itself=

=I stand up, change, and head off to the messhall=

=hears splashing coming from the pool and seees dormi and walks in the pool room=

(Rain)

=I enter and head to the counter=
=Grabbing four sausage links=
=Eight strips of bacon=
=Some eggs and a glass of water=

=I head off to the table and begin eating=

This is what I needed.

=I take a bite of a bacon strip=

Oh yeah...

(Dormii)
=i keep swimming, thinking about things=

(Rain)

=I begin talking with people that begin to sit at the table=
=Still eating=

(Dormii)
=i dive down, taking a big breath beforehand, and sit on the bottom of the pool. I relax, enjoying the weightlessness=

(Rain)

=I look around=

Hmm...

=I finish off my eggs and bacon=
=I head off to the pool=

(Dormii)
=i close my eyes and imagine. I imagine being with Jay again, but for some reason also Talfie. It disturbs me and I move away from that to another imagination. It's me, walking down a hallway on a UNSC ship, only, instead of there being blood and bodies and carnage, I'm walking down, enjoying life. I stop and talk with a few of the people. I was forgiven of everything. As were Draco and Jay and Zeru and Torres and all the others I have met in my life. I smile=

=The Azure Comet and the other 808th ships come out of slipspace above Another UNSC colony, Metalia (Made-up'est name ever). This time, they dont obliterate the planet from above. They hit all the military bases with their bombs, and begin sending down their troops. The planet is small, only about the size of Earth's moon, so Delta feels that this would be a good place to blow off some steam. After a while, the rest of the UNSC forces are picked off, and the civillians are rounded up=



=The UNSC Doubt and Trust sits there, waiting. Captain Scott looks out of the bridge, and sees a few other ships. He becomes uneasy. He decides to take a squad of Marines and head over to the Trophaeum, against his better judgement. They land in the Hanger bay in a Pelican=

(Artyom)

=He arrives at the Hanger bay, seeing a Pelican land.=

UNSC...

=He waits for whoever is inside to get out of the Pelican.=

=Captain Scott and his squad exit the pelican, looking around at the hanger bay=

Capt- This place could hold the entire Firgate.... Damn....

(Dylon)
=a few men turn around at the sound of someone falling=
'Target located!'

'Open fire!'

What? No, we wait for the captain's orders!'

'Captain said he wants her dead, so she is dead!'

=He see's Marines exit the Pelican.=

Hey! You UNSC?!

=Captain Scott sees a Spartan=

Capt- Yes.

And you know this is a ship filled with crazy murderous Spartans who like to brutaly murder people?

Oh, and I'm not one of those Spartans! I'm just... Here...

=I look around for a couple minutes=

Where am I..

(Dylon)
'But how do we know she is the one?'

'You know any other armor people on this ship? Shoot her dammit!'

=the men start shooting, albeit inaccurately do to rushed firing=


(Dormii)
=i imagine again. I'm with Jay in a hallway. We are getting shot at by a bunch of Marines I keep pulling her, trying to get her to move=

Quote :

Jay! C'mon!

=He regains his fallen consciousness=
=He shakes his head, standing up=
=He looks around=
=Some of his men gathered around him=
=The medic from before walks up to him=

M-Hey...You okay?

=He nods=

I am fine.
Thank you.

=He heads off to the hanger=

=The captain sighs=

Capt- Yea... I know.......... We're looking for the Captain of this ship....... unfortunately...

=He and his squad head off into the ship=

My hands go up, even though i had not willed them too and my voice says something although my mind cannot focus enough to discern it.

I surrender.

Why the fuck did I say that?!

I may as well said 'Oh, I'm one of these Murderous Spartans, and I will probably kill you sooner or later.'

=I kick the Pelican.=

=After some time he enters the hanger=
=Boarding a Pelican and heading off to the Trophaeum=


(Rain)

=I slip into the pool=
=Seeing Dormii in the water=

=I shake my head=

(Dylon)
=the men stop shooting=
'See? She surrenders!'

'Yeah yeah...go over and make sure she surrenders.'

'Hell no! You go!'

'Screw you two, I will.'

=one of the men walks over and points his gun into her back=
'Up. Now.'


(Dormii)
Air...

=i swim up to the surface and lean against the side of it, coughing=
Dammit...too long...

I stand up, my mind clearing as though i had broke through the surface of the water i was under.

Erm...What?

=I yell through the forest=

WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE!

(Dylon)
'Move. We are going to the cells.'

=he nudges her with his gun barrel and the rest of the men take aim=

(Rain)

=I see him pop up=
=I sigh and lean back=
=Enjoying the water=

(Dante)

=He takes off=
=After a short time he lands in the hanger of the Tropheaum=

=He steps out. Seeing Artyom=
=He shakes his head=

urm...okay....I guess....

I start walking, practically leading the men to their own cell block.

=They walk around a while. They eventually come to a room with a pool inside. They stop in=

Capt- Umm... Could any of you tell me where to find the Captain, Ishtar?

=The Marines look nervous but attentive. Andre remembers his UNSC patch on his shoulder, which is clearly viasable=

Capt- Fuck..... Probably should have covered that......

=He throws the Bottle of Vodka at the floor, shattering.=

I fucked up... Now I'll probably have to stay with these... 'Lovely' people...

=He walks up to Artyom=

It is swell you think we are so lovely.
While we think of you as scum.

=He chuckles. Walking off to the pool room=

(Dylon)
'Keep moving.'

=one of the men comms Dylon=
'Sah, we got her. We are taking her to the cell block now.'

=i respond=
WHAT?!?! I said kill her not take her prisoner!

'Sah, she surrendered. You know our code.'

Yes, I do. And if you talk to me like that again I am throwing you in there with her, got it?

'Yes, s-sah.'

Well... Fuck you then!...

That made no sense...

Fuck...

=He begins to walk around the ship.=

Sounds like some-ones in trouble.

I stop, turning around and grinning at the man. I lean casually against the wall

(Rain)

=I hear the man, not opening my eyes=

Dunno.

(Dante)

=He shakes his head=

*Your training today went well*

Thanks.

*You know...you could have set the difficulty higher...*

Yeah. I just wanted a feel for it, first.

(Dylon)
'Keep moving.'

=he shoves her again. the man who comm'd Dylon looks away=


(Dormii)
=i watch Zeru leave. I look around again and see Rain=
Hey Rain.

I straighten as the guy shoves me, stepping back only so slightly.

It's not polite to treat a lady that way!

=He arrives at the... Pool? Seeing... People.=

Oh fuck...
