Chapter 2: Judgement

=as i continue walking, I find Jay. She has a piece of debris piercing her abdomen= Jay? Jay!

=i rush over, careful not to move her until I know how bad it is= Jay! Can you hear me? It's me, Dormii. Cmon, wake up!

=i take the debris out, careful not to injure her more. she grunts as it moves= It's ok, I'm right here.

=not knowing what else to do, i quickly take her to the Cyro rooms and place her in one of the tubes= It's going to be ok, you'll be fine.

=shipwide, open comm= Hey, if someone has medical training, come to the Cyro chambers. Jay is injured and in serious need of help.

=before I just the door and activate the chamber, i kiss her on the forehead= I'll be right here, I'm not going anywhere. =I shut the door and turn on the chamber. i slide down the wall and break down= ...never again, never again, never again....

I wipe some of the blood from my ears, i turn and look at the ODST that followed me to the ship, im surprised he came to the ship to help, not many people would. Im usually seen as a liability to the military.

(Hey Blackhammer. Read back. I stopped chasing you. I went back to the core room)

(he gets up, in disbelief)
What, no, she left.
(within)
Draco-are you screwing with my mind
Zayne-No, that was her. Flesh and Blood. She went to the Cells.
(he snaps out of his conversation with Zayne)
(He walks out of the room. blood filled the halways. body parts and blood)
I'm tired of fighting
(He continues on until he hit the Cell area)

(He stood there. Two soldiers were lying in the cell)
(smiles)
(he recognized one of the soldiers as the ODST he met from the Medbay)

=Ash walks into a dark room, the things inside were moved by the attack=
What do I do...?

=Ash imagines what happened to Torres, she screams.=
No! Why..!?

=She sobs to herself=
What she did to you... What they did to you... What I did to you. I can't be forgiven not now....

=Ash wipes the tears from her face=
I'm not going to be a coward now... I have to tell Draco I'm leaving but first..

=Ash leaves the room to find the Cells=

(I spot her going towards the Cells) Why the hell are you going this way?

(I sling my spent BR over my shoulder) Whatever it is, it can't be good.

(I continue to follow at a distance, despite minor injuries)

=over the comm to Juli's cell and the area= Don't bother, he won't wake soon. His ears can't handle the Scream.

You have a visitor.

(hammer, go to chat)

(He sits down next to the cell. Taking out the two pieces of the broken M99 and begins to repair it)
(Not looking away from his work)
So what did you do to get in here
(directed at Juli)

=to Draco over comms= She killed Torres. Zeru won't let me have revenge. So she sits here, unable to sleep, unable to eascape, unable to do anything but reflect on her choices.

i watch the newcomer repair the weapon in his hands "what the guy said on the comm" i turn away from him on the cot.

(He still doesnt look away from his work)
(over comms)
@Dormii
I see.

(comms within the cell)
@Juli
Let me guess. You were one of the people that entered this ship. Uninvited.
(smiles)
and you killed Torres. Hmm
(He looks at the M99)
(He loses himself in thought)

"ya whatever" i still have my back to him

=angrily over the comm= She had him pinned, captured, then she killed him when he broke free.

She claims it was self-defense. She lies.

(smiles and laughs)
(To himself)
Can't believe it.
He died.
Must still have been weak from our battle.
(He looks at his finished product)
This looks nice
(He turns his attention to the jackel shield)
Hmm. Could still be upgraded

"you dont know the whole story" i say queitly to myself, my back is to the camera and the man by the cell, they cant see but im detching a remote hidden in my armour.

=to Draco= I suggest adding a power surge module. Build it right, and you could increase the size of the shield dramatically. Build it wrong, it could melt.

=to Juli= Oh? and what is the whole story? You were taught that obeying orders was the only point in life? That dis-obeying would be to commit suicide? Were these beliefs forced into your every moment, awake or asleep?

Oh, I know, maybe that you were never given a choice? That everything we do is pre-determined, planned out ahead of time, and set in motion? That there is nothing we can do to change the future?

(He smiles and laughs)
(he hears Dormii and takes his advice, not once looking away from the shield)
Leave it all in the past.
The one thing I have learned from my service is to not let things from your past take over.
Shape the future the way you want.
My name is Draco.
(He looks up from the shield and sees the prisoner move a little)
What do you have there
(He looks back down and brings out his S2)
Man, more repairs

=to Draco= This is something from the past that changes the future. I can't let it go because it can't go away.

Hey, how powerful is that scope?

=switches comm frequency= Zeru, did you get my comm? I need you in the cryo chambers.

"nice to know i finally know someones name here, im Juli Draco, i would be more formal but this isnt really a good time or place for it" i manage to get the remote from my armour, trying to minimize my movements i bring up the override of the boarding pod in the screen.

(He finishes the scope and brings out the Hydra)
(laughs)
It is nice to meet you Juli.
You are diverting from the question.
What do you have.

=Ash walks into the cell room and sees Draco=
Didn't Dormii take you to the Medbay?

=walks in= she's lucky i at least follow the rules of war which is to never execute prisoners if we did that we'd be as bad as the unsc

=to Draco= Draco, what do you see? All I see is her back and Snow passed out.

=to Ash= Hey, Ash. Need help with what ever it is?

=to Zeru= Just make sure she lives. I don't know what I would do with out her. Please, just....just make sure she is all right.

I use the distraction to fininsh overrideing the pod on my remote, i realease the seals that are holding the pod to the ship allowing a vacuum to be created in the quadrent it is in.

(He hears the voice. The voice that brought him out of the darkness. He looks up and sees Ash)
(He stands and walks to her)
(He blocks out all voices except hers)
@Ash
I thought you left.

=instantly the doors seal off the area and the wall area where the pod was begins to seal up=

=i hear the bulkheads shut and lock= =to Zeru= Hey, what was that?

=She looks at Draco=
How could I leave you? not like that... But Torres is dead

=Ash looks at the cell=
Its my fault he's dead if I only could change what had happened

=Ash walks over to Draco and kisses him=
I'm sorry Draco.. I need you to leave the cell.

=to Zeru= What??

=to Juli's cell= WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!

=i start to run to the Cells=

=comm to Zeru= Very much so....

(He kisses her back)
@Ash
I know he is dead. I know she killed him.

=Ash whispers to Draco=
Draco.. What should I do? I want her to pay but... I don't know if I can.

i swear, my back up plan was foiled

(I hear the commotion)

Good thing for armor

(Head to the cell area)

(To Juli) You dumb b**ch, get back here!

(Unlimber my AR)

@Ash (whispering)
I thought about it.
About getting revenge.
It's difficult. I know you are able to. I just don't want to see you take that path

=She sits down with Draco and rest her head on his=
I don't know Draco would I be doing it to make her pay, or to get revenge for Torres? Or would it be for me...?

=Ash looks at the cell and see the Spartan rage fills her eyes=
Draco you know in the hanger you said something....

(He takes her hand)
When I said we should just leave.
Get away from it all.

i store the remote in my armour and get up from the bed "screw this im finding my own way off the ship", i pick up the bed , "sorry to break up your conversation" i say to Draco and Ash, i throw the bed against the glass but it doesnt give way.

(laughs)
@Juli
I am sick and tired of this crap. I cant have a conversation with Ash.
Without someone breaking it up.

"well sorry its not like i have all the time in the world or anything" i reply

i pick the bed up again and use it as a battering ram and run at the glass, the bed crumples when it makes contact and i fall back, "dammit" i get up and punch the glass, hurting my hand
