Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens"

(Miranda)
Well, that's just great. I guess the only advantage Jason has is that he commands those Forerunner ships.

(Miranda)
What do you mean?

(Dormii)
He'll be...fine. He's...half god...now.

=i smile and cough=
Gah...ow...

(Miranda)
Believe me, being half a god is the last thing he truly wants.

(Dormii)
Still...got...ta have...it's perks...

(Miranda)
=I thought back to those ships, and that armor=

Yeah, it does. But, I know him. He does not want all that power going to his head.

=I turned to face Zeru=

So what, you're saying that this Delta is like Jason?

(Dormii)
That's why...I off...ered to...share it...with him...to help...keep him...self in...check.

(Miranda)
Well, that's just great. So basically, Jason is meeting with a man, bound by no morals?

(Dormii)
As far...as we...know, yeah.

Del- The fact that you... Would come here, a UNSC superfleet trailing behind you. disable all our weapons, allowing them acces to the Obsidian Wolf, killing millions of innocents, and then have the balls to come here and declare to me that you did the right thing... is absolutely unbelievable to me... You have no place here, 'inheritor'.

=Delta's extreme want to pain the walls of the council room with the 'inheritor's brains was very clear in his voice, though he spoke at a normal volume=

=i wake back up still at rain's side=

Tar:

=he wakes up in the mess hall=

man, i ain't into nothin'! i need to find something to do...

(bbl i'm at school)

(Jason)
I did not lead the UNSC ships here. If I had, then why in the world would I fire on them, if they were my allies? As for the deaths of your civilians.......I am sorry, that my actions led to their deaths. But I did everything in my power, to make sure no more deaths occurred, at least as far as your civilians are concerned. And let us not forget, that it was your actions, that brought all this on you, and yours. Me, the Trophaeum, the UNSC.......your acts of genocide against the UNSC is what made them attack you, so do not try and blame all this on me. I am simply, a reaction, to your actions.

=Delta becomes angry=

Del- YOU HAD NO REASON AND NO AUTHORITY TO BE HERE, HUMAN! WHAT WAS DONE WAS BETWEEN ME AND THE UNSC! YOUR ACTIONS ONLY LEAD TO MORE BLOODSHED!

=Delta resists the urge to decapitiate Jason. Alpha stands=

Al- Delta! Enough!

(Dormii)
Well, it...was nice...talking...to you...in a...way.

=i smile and head ou into the ship, wandering=

When ancient beings awaken from a slumber, and find a Universe in which is not yet strong enough to resist, they wait. They Wait until the right moment to strike; Until the moment is beneficial; until they can enjoy themselves while slowly eating and consuming an advanced civilization. But, this Machine, this Organic Machine, came from Near the Center, and it knows that past advanced civilizations have waxed and waned, and it knows patience. So when the time is right, it will come back, and slowly, destroy everything.

(Draco)

=He had departed the pool room and went off to his own room for the night=
=He is currently sleeping=

(Rain)

=I wake up=
=The lights shining down on me=

Oh man...

=I turn my head to face Talfie=

Hey...

hey... how are you?

Tar:

=he grabs some food=

(Rain)

=I shake my head=

This is not a comfortable place to sleep.
My back is killin me.

You?

*giggle*, i'm good... i slept on my side... my shoulders hurt though

(Rain)

=I sit up=

Want me to massage them?

uhh... are you good at massaging?



(this will NOT lead to anything!)


(hopefully)

(Rain)

=I look at her=

Well...judging by the way I rub your chest...
And your reactions...
I think I do.

=i turn red=

yeah...



Tar:

=he sits down with the food and eats before heading to the pool=

...

*whistling*

(Rain)

Is that a yes?
or did I fall flat on my face.

=I smile=

yes...


Tar:

=He steps into the rec room=

(Rain)

=I scooch behind her=
=Placing my hands on her shoulders=
=I begin rubbing them softly=

thanks rain...

Tar:

hi Rain and uh... Talfie?

(Rain)

=I continue rubbing her shoulders=
=I look back at Tar=

My memory is hazy.
You are?

i'm Tar-tun... Kurbis' bro.

Talfie: hi Tar

(Rain)

Right.
Sorry..been secluded in training and sleeping for awhile.

... so, how are you?


Talfie:

=i continue to enjoy the message=

(Rain)

Im Good.

Whats up?

not much... sleeping for very long periods of time, the usual...

(Jason)
=I faced Alpha=

Thank you. I was hoping that we could keep this civil.

=I turned back to Delta=

And as far as my authority goes, it has now become my policy to involve myself whenever acts of genocide take place.

=heads to the bridge=

Del- And involved yourself you have. This is our fight, Human. Our eternal struggle against your kind. I will do what i was built to do, defend my race from danger to the best of my ability. I have died many times trying to do this, and i shall die many more.

Sig- I agree.

Gig- Aye.

Bet- Aye.

=Xazhi and Lori watch the debate taking place, Xazhi paying particularly close attention to Delta=

(Jason)
=I chuckled a little=

"My kind?" Please, I'm not human, not anymore at least. And I do not wish to be a threat to your race, as a whole. Only a threat, to any who commit genocide. I am perfectly willing to leave, and never come back. However, all I ask, is that you let me take the human prisoners. They have no home, and I am willing to give them one.

Al- They will be given a home, Inheritor. Their fate is my jurisdiction.

(Dormii)
=i walk into the pool room=
Rain...Tar-tun...Talfie.

=i take off my shirt and dive into the pool, not caring about my arm and water anymore. i just need to relax=

(Jason)
=I looked at Alpha=

And I respect your authority over them Alpha. However, and please, do not consider this rude, but do you really expect me to believe that after the UNSC attack, that any of those prisoners will survive the night?

Talfie:

=i reach forward with my umbrella and heat the water=

there you go Dor...

Tar:

Hey Dormii! havn't seen you in awhile!

Al- We may hold resentment towards them, but i am the one who created the first XNNOs. My ultimate goal is peace through the least violent ways possible. Delta will have no say in their fate.

=She looks to Delta=

Al- And he will deal with that.

(Dormii)
=i surface=
Thank you...Talfie. Hey, Tar...Tun. Long...time no...see.

=i try to move my mouth as little as possible, but even then, the pain makes me pause every two syllables=

Tal:

hey, you okay?

Tar: you got a new arm!

(Dormii)
=i mimic a gunshot in my mouth=
Hurts like...hell. Can't talk...easi...ly. And yeah...I did...wanna...take a...look at...it?

(Jason)
Very well. That is I suppose, the best I can ask from you. I came here after all, to see to it that the human prisoners would live. Perhaps giving them a new home, was too much trouble.
