I laugh at the AI's humorous remark.

"Well, I suppose we could do that."

=Sends a message to the Trophaeum, and the other warships surrounding her with the same message requesting docking.=

=Elyon sends a message back, asking who sent the message=

--Another Hour Later--

(Jason)
=I headed back to the control room. Granted, there wasn't much to do, but I felt the need to monitor some things, and check for any messages=

=finishes setting up the lz area for the massive amount of troops and vehicles and supplies comms the others and tell them it's time to get started=

(Dormii)
=i walk into the training room, seeing Grace walk out. I comm the recruits and have them arrive and stand in line=
We are going to be doing some more practicing today. Get a partner, and start working on those moves we learned the other day.

=the nod, albeit in a "WHYYYYYYY" sort of fashion, but they obeyed and started beating on each other again=

==By now, Vatel and his squad were just outside the Covenant base. They looked around and saw most of it destroyed and a large flat area left. They waited in cover=

(Dormii)
=i get the comm from Zeru. I reply=
Alright. Hey, can Syaa take over training? I'd rather not waste a lot of time with them.

=i start walking out of the room, heading to the hanger=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
I had them give each other massive amounts of bruises and cuts on their first day. And last training session include boots to the shin for over 30 minutes. I think it's okay.

=comms syaa and has her head there=


done don't say i didn'y warn you

(Dormii)
As long as she doesn't kill any of them, or maim them, it's fine.

=i reach the hanger and head off to the planet's surface in a Pelican=
Okay, I'm heading down to the planet.

=Greave keeps watch, while Cort and Vatel discuss the mission=

(Dormii)
That's good. Should I oversee the landing? Make sure everything goes smoothly?

(Dormii)
I'll oversee it then. Better to measure twice and cut once, than measure once and cut twice.

(Dormii)
=i land at the LZ and look up into the sky, waiting for the vehicles and personnel to arrive=

=Greave alerts Vatel and Cort of the new arrival. They have a sarcastic sigh of relief and emerge from their cover, approaching the LZ=

(Dormii)
=some vehicles start coming down on Pelicans, which also carry some personnel. They land and unload, and then go back up=

=As they approach, Vatel yells to the other Spartan=

Vat- Hey there, Spartan. I wasnt aware that another detachment was stationed here. You here to do the cleanup work on them covies, or are you with the builders?

(Dormii)
=i turn around=
Depends. You UNSC?

=Travelling to the Repent=

Hey pilot, new course. Take us to the planet's surface. I want to see if everything is going well.

"Yes sir."

=The pelican heads to the surface=

=Greave whispers something to Vatel=

Gre- Something's off. What do you think?

Vat- I think he's just another spartan here with either the cleanup or build crew.

=He turns back to the Spartan=

Vat- We are SHI squad, and I'm lieutenant Vatel. You are?

(Dormii)
Dormii Fortuni et Mali.

=They don't recognize the name=

Vat- Nice to meet you, Dormii. So, I'm assuming that the Forerunner relic turned out to be a rumor after all. That's a shame.

(Dormii)
Forerunner relic? We're just here to build a trade route.

=The pelican lands on a nearby clearing, close to the site=

We are finally here. Lets go rook.

=Torres and the Rookie head to Dormii's location=

Vat- Not surprising. ONI likes to keep these things under wraps, ya know? Anyways, it was rumored that there was some kind of Forerunner tech here that they were planning on using. Some kind of magic illness cure-all from what i undertsand. Shame it aint here.

(Dormii)
Yeah, what a shame.

=i see Torres and a new person with him. I wave=

=Nearing the clearing they see all the work that is being done=

(R)"Who is that waving at us?"

A friend, mind your manners.

=The rook nods and they catch up to Dormii=

Hey Domrii, whats going on.

(Dormii)
Not much. Just talking to Lieutenant Vatel and the SHI squad. Who's your friend?

=Torres looks at Vatel and back at Dormii=

This is Rook, part of my ODST squad. They have been with me for quite some time.

(R)"Nn..Nice to meet ya."

=Vatel gets on comms with the UNSC=

Vat- Lieutenant Vatel of SHI squad to UNSC Flying Fortress. The Covenant base has been wiped out, and construction of the new port has begun. The Forerunner relic was not found.

FF- Alright. Flying Fortress out.

=The comms cut=

(Dormii)
=i take my helmet off and smile at the kid=
Don't worry, kid. Most of those stories aren't true.

Vat- Just ONI acting on rumors again.

So they sent another huh, they are cautious. ONI will get what they want.

-

(R)"What rumors."

Vat- Rumors of some Forerunner tech they wanted because it contained the recipe to some insane cure-all or something.

(Dormii)
=i put my helmet back on and turn to Vatel=
So, how'd you get here?

Vat- Our ship, the Red Cloud.

(Dormii)
Same here. What's it like.

Vas- It's simply an upgraded version of the ship used by the previous SHI squad. Funny. We actually found their ship in a swamp on Chi-Ceti IV. I wonder what became of them...

(Dormii)
Yea, I wonder.

=i turn back and make sure the unloading goes smoothly. Torres and his rookie wander off somewhere=

Cor- You spent quite a lot of time looking at those markings there, Vatel.

=He chuckles=

Vat- Well, they were interesting.

Gre- What did you find out about them?

Vat- They told the story of two people. Lovers, i guess. Damn, what were their names....? Jay i think was one of them.

(Dormii)
=i stop, listening to their conversation. i turn my head slightly so i can hear better=

Gre- You need to get your head out of your ass and start paying more attention to the present.

=Cort and Greave chuckle=

Vat- Okay, okay, i get it. Fuck you too.

=They all chuckle=

Cor- So, anything else, Mr Historian?

Vat- Well, i found out quite a bit. If what i got from it was right, there was something that tore them apart, and drove them both insane. But then drew them back together again.

Gre- Gay.

Cor- Shut up.

Vat- Anyways, i think Their names were....... I want to say Jay and Maltim, but that isnt right.... I dont remember. It was worn a bit, too.

(Dormii)
Mali...
