Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 8

=He looks at Dormii=

Dormii!
Did you hear that.

THERE ARE HUMANS SLAUGHTERING HUMANS?! WHAT THE HELL?!

=He shakes his head.=

(Dormii)
I did. And I'm trying really hard not to say yes because they are UNSC and I can't do diddly with one arm.

I give a look of shock...

Bu....But.....

Dormii.
It is a genocide.

=He shakes his head=

(Dormii)
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MADE ME DO THE SAME!

=i stop and stare at him=
I will help, but not for them. I just need to get a new arm first.

(Dylon)
'WELL?! BUT WHAT?! YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T KNOW??!'

=the man gets up=

Dormii
I know this.
Believe me.

=He looks at the man=

We will not do this for you.
For the innocents.

=He thinks=

Would you do the same...Would you help...

No..I didn't know....How could i have known!

=After a while, the civilians are all collected. There are five areas they are sent. One for each of the ships. Delta is approached by Sigma and Alpha=

Del- Hello Mother. And Sigma.

Alp- We come asking what you would have us do with the captured?

Del- Me personally, im going to kill them one by one, and enjoy every moment of it. Do with yours as you see fit.

Sig- We could sell them as slaves? Im sure some of the races of the covenant would enjoy that.

Del- Indeed.

=They continue conversing=

(Dylon)
THE FACT THAT WE AREN'T MARINES? WE DON'T HAVE THEIR ARMOR? WE ATTACK THEM WHENEVER WE GET THE CHANCE? YOU JUST KILLED THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ALONGSIDE YOU! YOU EVEN ATTACKED OUR CAPTAIN! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!


(Dormii)
=i go back to swimming=

I grab him

YOU THREATENED ME FIRST! YOU THREW THE FIRST STONE! THIS WAS SELF-DEFENCE!

=After the conversation, they each head back to their respective camps. Delta comes up to one of the Human women, and shoots her in the stomach. He shouts to all of them=

Del- How many bullets can you survive!?

=He fires again, this time into her leg. She collapses and dies=

Del- Record two! Anyone care to try for better!?

(Dylon)
'We didn't know who you were! You were a Spartan on our ship. Spartans are UNSC, unless proven otherwise. We didn't shoot you on sight because there are other Rebel Spartans here and we didn't want to SHOOT ONE OF OUR OWN KIND!'

I fall to the floor, shaking my head.

What is a Spartan?

(Dylon)
'An augmented human. Only ones who can use MJOLNIR armor. I thought it was pretty damn obvious seeing as how you were stronger than us.'

(Thevo)

=They had given up their search=
=They had called in transport and into the main hanger of Night's End=

(Andrea)

=She had relayed everything to the others=
=Responses flowed in=
=She told them everything=

(Dante)

=He goes off to the edge and takes off his armor=
=Taking off his arm, he jumps into the pool=

I thought that was just me.....Wait, are there more like me??

(Dylon)
'Yes. On the Trophaeum. Now, granted you don't try and KILL ME. I can take you there.'

(Dormii)
=i finish my swim. i get up out of the water and dry myself off. i push through the group of Marines and head off to my room=

=He sighs. Not feeling in the swimming mood=
=He gets out and goes to a towel rack=
=He puts his armor on after he dries=
=He heads off to the hanger=

I won't. I think firstly you should let your captain know though.

(Dylon)
'How am I supposed to do that now? You took my battery, remember?'

I pick it up from next to me and toss it to him lightly.

Any more excuses?

(Dylon)
'Shut up.'

=he takes the battery and puts it in his comm=
'Sah, I'm going to take her to the Trophaeum.'

WHAT?! Why?!

'She's made a good point about being to dangerous to stay here. She killed a few men, but is willing to let us live if we take her off the ship.'

God dammit...YOU HEAR ME BITCH?! I WON'T FORGET THIS!

'Let's go. Before he gets angrier.'

=he starts walking=

=He sits down, leaning against one of the Pool room walls.=

Well... Fucking shit...

Well thats good. Now you've not only made him hate me even more. You've done the complete opposite of what i asked.

I sigh and stand up

(Dylon)
'What else did you want me to say? "Hey, boss, she turned nice and let us all live. No one died over here. Nope, no one at all." At least he's letting you leave.'

=he keeps walking=

You could have said there was a gigantic misunderstanding.

I walk after him

You act like i should be grateful. Like i couldn't bring down this entire ship if i wanted to. Like you weren't cowering in the corner not more than 3 minutes ago.

=He enters the hanger and looks around=
=He sits down and goes into a meditative state=

Hmm...

(Dylon)
'I just don't give a shit anymore. And yeah, misunderstanding, that will totally make him calm down. "Oh, and she also thought we were UNSC. Big misunderstanding, totally unavoidable." Yeah, definetly would have calmed him down.'

=they arrive in the hanger bay. All of the people there stop what they are doing and stare at her, angry=

(I go to a nuetral planet, one noted for harboring mercenaries)

Good place to start...

(I find a place to land)

Lets find a place to start my new venture..

(I head to a likely place to find clients)

Hell's coming a knockin'...

(I go to a bar)

Barkeep: Looking for work son?

Me: Yep. I'm new in town.

Barkeep: (Stares at me) Oh, you're one of THEM ain't you. (Gets out a sawed off shot gun)

Me: I wouldn't do that, you inbred fool.

(He points the barrel in my face)

Barkeep: We don't like your kind here. So get out befor-

(I grab him by his throat, and lift him up)

Me: I'm not a Spartan any more, you got that?

(He nods weakly)

Me: If you don't get that, I'll remove something you are very attatched to, got that?

(He nods again, not wanting dismemberment)

(I lower him)

Me: (I raise an eyebrow) Now, who's hiring?

=I find the grav lift=

Yes!

=I hop into it=

(Dylon)
=he gets into a Pelican and starts it up=

I climb into the back.

Hey so where are we going?

(Dylon)
'Trophaeum.'

=they take off, heading towards the Trophaeum's hanger bay=

'Trophaeum this is Pelican DB-008. Two coming, one leaving. Over.'

=He responds=

Roger that

=He returns to meditating=

=Over open Comms=
Mayday, we have crash landed on an unknown planet, any one out there, please respond, over

(Dylon)
=they land in the Trophaeum's hanger bay and he drops the ramp=
Here is your stop. Don't come back unless you ask first.

I place my hand on his shoulder

For what it's worth. I apologize.

I turn and walk off of the back ramp. For a few seconds i stand, blinking.

(Dylon)
'Eh.'

=he raises the ramp and takes off again, heading for the Dead and Back=

=He stands up as the Pelican lands=
=He watches it, seeing a Spartan walk out=
=He waves. Walking over=

Welcome to the Tropheaum

=He sticks out his hand=

Dante Faulkner.
Call me Draco

I look at the person, feeling some familiarity. I shake it away, simply regarding that i had seen his file somewhere before.

Shelby.

=Over open Comms=

I repeat, Mayday, we have crash landed on an unknown planet, if you're hearing us please respond!

(Dormii)
=i sigh and decide to go over to the Repent for more training. i feel where my arm used to be and sigh again. I put my armor on and head out to the hanger bay=

=He retracts his hand=

It is a pleasure to meet you.
If you would like, A tour could be given.

A ship's a ship. Not exactly difficult to find one's way around.

I miss Night.

(Dormii)
=i walk into the hanger, seeing Draco and a new person. I walk over=
Hey, meet a new friend there Draco?

=He nods to Dormii=

I would say so.

(Dormii)
=i look at the new person and extend my left hand, now my only hand=
Nice to meet you. I'm Dormii Fortuni et Mali.

=Over Open Comms=

I repeat, This is Headhunter Romanov, If you are getting this, Respond!
