*nyaaa*

will you sleep with me tonight?

not for sex or anything, i just feel lonely at night...

(Dormii)
=i nod=
If you want me to, I will.

=i stretch=

thanks...

=I hug him tight=

I'm ready for bed...

(Thevo)

=He chuckles=

Ah.
Zantomee.
It has been a long time since I have heard that name.

=He nods=

Now, where are these upgraded shield modules.

(Dormii)
Okay.

=i hold her close and stand up, lifting her up. I start walking to her room=

=Uni and Fili each take out one of the modules=

Uni- We have these two. The rest are on our ship in the Hanger.

(Thevo)

=He nods=
=Dispatching his Elite Guards to the ship=

Thank you, Unggoys.
You are dismissed.

=i hold him tight as he carries me=

(Dormii)
=i carry her to her room and lay her down on her bed=
Sure you want me to stay here tonight?

i just feel like it would be nice to have someone by my side for a night...

you don't have to stay...

=i get under the covers=

(Dormii)
I'll stay. It's not like there is anything else I have to do.

=i get in bed next to her=

night...

=i cuddle up to him and quickly fall asleep=


(night)

(Dormii)
=i put my arm around her as she falls asleep=

Uni- Thank you, sir.

=They head back to the Hanger=




=Xazhi, Lori, and the Kid head back down to the Planet and out to the Eirav Wing. It was still in working order. They load up, and make a few adjustments, before taking off and jumping to slipspace=

(Thevo)

=He chuckles=

I was in the killing mood.

(Sha'rak)

=He enters, Kneeling=

My Lord.

Thevo-Yes, Brother.

Sha'rak-All modules have been removed. Applying them to all warriors armor, now.

Thevo(nods)-Good, save a few.

Sha'rak-My Lord?

Thevo-Give them to Dante as a gift.

Sha'rak-Yes, My Lord. =Stands and walks out=

(Dylon)
Fuck this...

=i get up out of the bed and head up to the bridge=

=He stands up=
=Looking at Shelby=
=She had fallen asleep=

Hmm...

=He helps her up and helps her to her room=
=She crawls into the bed, after taking her armor off and falls asleep=
=He leaves the room, closing the door=

Dormii would freak out...
If he saw her face.
Hmm...

=He walks off to the hanger=

=keeps an eye on their herac=

=I fall into an unconscious state from the crash=

=He arrives at the hanger=
=Seeing so much=
=He sighs as a covenant transport comes into the hanger=
=Sha'rak exits with two other Warriors=

=They walk up to him=

Sha'rak(kneels)-Sir, Lord Thevo wishes for you to have three upgraded shield modules

=He nods=

Draco-Apply them to my armor, I shall ask two others.

Sha'rak-Sir, Where is your armor.

Draco-In my room, You should hear music coming from it.

=The other two head off=

=Uni gets a comm=

Fil- What is it?

Uni-...Its Zantomee.

Fil- Answer it.

=Over Comms=

Zan- Uni! Where are you with those shielding modules!?

Uni- We... uh... Found another Covenant Vessel... We dropped them off here....

Zan- You WHAT!?!?

Uni- It wasnt our fault! Out slipspa-

Zan- I care not for your petty excuses. We are on our way to your coordinates now.

Uni- O- okay....

=He cuts the Comm=

Fil- What did he say...?

Uni- Hes coming....

Fil- HERE!?

Uni- Y- yea....

Fil- He's going to have our heads... i know it....

=After some time passes the two others arrive=
=Holding his armor=

Sha'rak-Sir, we give the utmost care to your armor

Dante-I thank you. Dismissed

=They head out, back to Night's End=

=He sighs=
=Heading off to his room=

(Mali)
=i watch Dormii's thoughts. I can see that he is thinking about Talfie and Jay. That he is putting off a choice. I played back what he had seen, about Shelby. I examine the details of what she did, the way she moved. I compare it to Jay's details. They are almost a perfect match. She does them, but as if for the first time. I suspect amnesia=
If only I could tell Dormii...he needs to know this...well, one thing at a time. First let's remind him about his armor.

(Dormii)
=i remember that my armor is still in the pool room. I sigh softly and gently get up out of Talfie's bed, careful not to disturb her, and go to the pool room=

=walks up close to ther herac=

=The herac makes the same deep bellowing noise it did for Xazhi, and lowers itself to the ground=

(Dormii)
=i walk into the pool room and put on my armor. I go to my room and take it off, putting it on the stand. I go to the messhall for a quick bite of food. Once i am done, i go back to Talfie's room and slip into the bed next to her. I put my arm around her again and relax=

=climbs on it and starts having it walk around and pats it=


there we go

=after awhile he gets off and exits the hangar making sure they don't get loose=

=I typed in another command, locking onto the ships's frequency. Then, I began my message=

Hello, this is a collect call from Jason Shepard. Will you accept the charges?
=Along with the voice, I left coordinates to Haven. I only hoped that they would get my message. I hit send=

=replies=

holy crap no i will not accept the charges what is going on jason

(Jason)
Hey hey Zeru. Man it is good to hear your voice. You would not believe where I am right now.

(Silver Light)
=I said nothing. I simply watched=

(Jason)
So um, do you think you could come down here, and pick me up? Cuz honestly, I miss you guys.

== On board the Vassal of Vengence Command Bridge, Charybdis IX High Orbit ==

Meru: Well, Rota. It has been more than three cycles and yet, no response. I would have believed that you would have grown less naive in your isolation.

Rota: I did not expect a response. I was merely probing all opportunities.
*Sighs*.

Meru: I should have known such cowardly vermin would not dare respond. We should have them all exterminated!

Rota: That was the will of the prophets. It is their doing. Their goal, not ours. I have seen them. The humans. Under certain circumstances, they show great honour.

Meru: No! You are blind! As oblivious as the rest. I came to you thinking that you were different. That you had a brain! They hate us, resent us for what we were forced to do! As soon as we turn our backs, they will be more than happy to cut your throat. They can not be trusted. Before you put me in my place, I want you to consider that concept.

Rota: They do not deserve to rot, we are the ones who are responsible.
I spoke to one of them, I believe it was called "Jay". Though I could not see her, I could feel her fury. I imagined the rage in her eyes as she lashed out, emotions had overwhelmed her.

Meru: Emotions are for those who writhe in self-pity.

=Before Meru could add continue, the entrance to the bridge slid open and there was a technician walking through.=

Sparky: Sir! Geosynchronous orbit has been re-established. We can continue activities regarding ferry to and from the planet's surface.

Rota: Prepare a transport. There is a specific area I require examining of.
And Meru. I expect the ship to remain here.

Okay, that's great man. Listen, when you do get here, brace yourselves, cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
=I cut off the signal, and turned to face Silver light=

Well, it looks like I'll be leaving soon.

(Silver Light)
Yes, it seems you are.

(Jason)
Hey, you sound sad. You don't want me to leave?

(Silver Light)
Well, you are the first person I have spoken to in 100,000 years.

(Jason)
=I suddenly felt a little guilty=
Ah, sorry about that. Hey if you want, you could come with me? Every day has always been something new since I joined up with these guys.

(Silver Light)
As tempting as that offer is, I'm afraid I cannot. I have obligations here at Haven, even if the origianl mission is no longer possible.

=starts up the ship and after pulling away from the space dock has the ship enter slipspace=

(Jason)
But you could leave, if you wanted to?

(Silver Light)
Well, yes, I suppose I could. But what of Haven? I cannot leave it. Nor do I dare destroy it; it is the last thing my maker made, and he had so hoped for it to survive.

(Jason)
I'm sorry, but I don't have an answer for you. If you'd like to come along, then you can. If you want to stay, then that's fine to. I'll come back, and visit. But I need to get back with my friends.

(Thevo)

=Sitting in his chair=

Sha'rak.
Hek'ran.

=The two advisors approach, kneeling=

Both-My Lord.

Thevo-I have this feeling. That I shall die.

Sha'rak-My Lord, do not speak that way.

Hek'ran-You cannot die.

=He coughs=

Thevo-Something will happen. I want all warriors set up. How are the upgrades coming.

Hek'ran-They are progressing, nearing completion.

Sha'rak-The human, Dante's, armor is complete.

Thevo(nods and coughs)-Thank you, my brothers.

Sha'rak-We have entered slipspace, Along with the others.

Thevo(sighs)-Alright, You both are dismissed.

(Laura)

=She wakes up, and heads to the Messhall.=

(Artyom)

=He had still been walking around...=

I... Need... To kill... Something...

=The two Heracs climb up the walls of the Hanger. They make a nest in the top corner=


=Vera-Revar stands on the bridge of the Sin of Wrath, awaiting the rest of the ships to be prepared. They get the comm that all ships are ready. They jump to slipspace=

(Dormii)
=i wake up, Talfie still cuddled up next to me. I sigh and rub her shoulder lightly. I try and run my right hand ghrough my hair, then i remember i no longer have a right arm. I sigh and fall back asleep. I dream of Jay. We are close, so cery close to finding each other again, but something keeps us apart. I reach out for her and my hand hits a wall, and I can see that on the other side of the wall is Jay=

=comms dormi=


bridge now

(Silver Light)
Well, you are not a prisoner Inheritor. You are free to go anytime you choose.

(Jason)
Thank you. Now, let's prepare for their arrival. You said this world can be accessed from the outside, right?

(Silver Light)
Yes.

(Jason)
Okay, well the ship that's coming here is huge. I'm sure you saw that from the sensors?

(Silver Light)
Yes. The largest entrance I can find for them to use will be here.
=I highlighted the entrance on the map in the control room=
They will have to enter through there.

=the troph exits slipspace neat the coords given=

(Artyom)

=He walks around, eventually reaching the Bridge.=

There has to be something... To kill...

(Dormii)
=i wake up again. I check the time and gently get out of the bed. I check the time and write it down on a note as well as "stayed until" and then left for my room=

= I stir=

hey...

=i st up and look down in deep thought=

(Dormii)
=i was just about to leave the room when she woke up. I walked back over to her=
Hey, sleep well?

I wander the hallways in my armour, feeling a sense of deja vu. I stop near some kind of washroom and images begin to blur across my eyes.

yeah,

I'm... *sigh*, not sure about this...

=i shake my head=

not sure about... us.
