Still getting used to having one arm, but kinda the same thing as you. A little bored.

(Laura)

Yeah... I may go and do some training later...

=She shrugs.=

Any plans for today?

(Dormii)
Not really. Well, train my new squad some more, but that's about it.

(Artyom)

=He wakes up in his Pelican, armour on, and climbs out... Seeing two Spartans.=

Great... More fucking Rebels...

(Laura)

Another boring day it seems...

I guess. You could always come and help with the training of my new recruits.

Talfie:

=I look around=

Tar:

=She notices Tar wake up.=

Welcome back to the land of not sleeping.

=She smiles.=

Talfie:

=I see a note=

=Head on the table in the messhall=
=Listening to the conversations of everyone=
=I sigh=

=She sits back.=

Oh, you never told me where you were from. You got distracted by... Senox I think.

I forget to tell you the truth I've traveled a lot... and was captured for awhile...

Talfie:

=I head to the mess hall=

(Laura)

=He sits back on the bed=

Gods..

=He hears his name, so silent=
=He looks around=

(Rain)

=I finish the bacon and head back to the counter=
=Grabbing a burger=

Really hungry....

=I head back to the table and begin eating=

I see...

=She shakes her head.=

So, where are you actually from? Where you were born, I mean.

don't remember.

No clue at all?

=She scratches her head.=

no clue...

So... Do you have any family? Brothers, sisters?

a brother... Scythe.

He's on the ship, with his wife.

You don't sound too happy that your brother is on the ship.

=She shrugs.=

But that's just what I think...

no,i don't mind him...

As I said, it was just what I thought...

=She shakes her head.=

I seem to be asking all the questions, don't I?

i don't mind

So... Urm...

=She yawns.=

Anything you want to ask me...?

sorry... no

how a bout' you tell me about yourself?

Nolan - Where is that evac?

Lance - Two falcons and a Pelican heading to your position. Evac for you and the crashed ship.

Joseph - Fire! Don't let those elites take the pilots!

=They start to fire at the covenant. A spirit lands on the rooftop next to them, dropping off some elites. Nolan and his squad drive into the city and head to the pilots. The Falcons and Pelican are about a mile away from the city=

Pelican and Falcons - Get ready for evac.

Nolan - Keep driving. We are almost there.

=The rebels shoot at the covenant, the pilots run into a little store=

Pilot - Get that gun.

Shop owner - Hey! You cannot take that!

Pilot - We need it..

Shop Owner - No. Drop it or I will shoot you.

=They take guns as the shop owner shoots at them=

Pilot - Shit go!

Pelican - Slow down, We will follow you.

Nolan - Clear the path in front of us.

Pelican - Fire the missiles at that roadblock.

Nolan - Watch out for the covenant.

Falcon - Fire at those rebels!

Nolan - Shit. We may have to hit the ramp!

=The warthog hits a ramp, going up a little bit then landing=

Pilot - I see the evac!

Nolan - Joseph, get the falcon started and cover us while we land.

Joseph - Yes Sir.

I'm lazy... And like to sleep alot.

=She shakes her head.=

That's basically it...

really?

=She shakes her head.=

There's other stuff... Like I was an ODST... I was a prisoner to Flood Scientists... That I'm dead to the UNSC... Just... Little things.

=She smiles.=

=walks around the ship=

your not dead to me... your probably not dead to a lot of people

(Dormii)
=i continue eating, wondering what to do for my next lesson=

Talfie:

=i walk into the mess hall=

But seeming how I am dead to the UNSC, I'm probably dead to my family too...

=She shakes her head, and yawns.=

(Dormii)
=i see Talfie walk in. I wave and call over=
Hey Talfie!

tired?

Talfie:

Hi!

=I walk over to him=

(Dormii)
How are you doing today?

Yeah.

=She yawns.=

I'll probably fall asleep soon...

I'm good... you?

Tar:

(Dormii)
Doin' good. Just doing the usual, getting used to one arm, thinking about things, about people. Doing some stuff.

=She yawns.=

Yeah... I'll probably head off to sleep...

okay, I'll see ya...

Talfie:

that's good.. how's it feel missing an arm?

=The falcon starts and shoots at the covenant. The pilots run to the landed Pelican connecting the warthog. The other two Falcons shoot at the rebels. Lance and the engineers work on building at the base=

Nolan - Hurry!

=They all load up into the pelican and take off. The three falcons follow them=

Nolan - What happened at the facility?

Pilot - Your lucky you got out when you did. We bombed it and since it was a facility making bombs, it blew up. That wasn't what made me crash though.

Nolan - What did then?

Pilot - I got hit by a drop pod. Took out my wing. I couldn't control my shortsword.

Nolan - Why here?

Pilot - They are searching for them. They know its here?

Nolan - Searching for?

Pilot - The Pillars.
