Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

=I stand against the wall. Shelby positioned against me=

Their name is hazy in my mind.
They had attacked many UNSC controlled colonies.
Killing countless innocents.

you know it

(Lana)
=i chuckle and we arrive in the pool room. I walk off to the changing room to put on a good swim suit=

Explain, in more detail?

=He looks at her and nods=

Alright.
The army in which the leader commands is a rather large one. The soldiers under his command work under extreme training. Their main goal is the eradication of the UNSC. The major strike against them included the glassing of countless worlds and with countless casualties. Myself and Dormii had gone unto their main ship and ended this spree.

=He turns his head to look down the hall and back to her=

=i just take off my shirt and dive into the water=

(Lana)
=i change into a two piece, and walk out of the changing room with a towel wrapped around me. I got to the pool, took the towel off, and dove into the water=

I follow his gaze down the hallway. unable to see what he's actually looking at

So, why?

My best guess is that they had wanted the same thing that Hitler had wanted during World War Two.
The purification and rebuild of society, but on a much larger scale.
Though I could be wrong.

You look lovely..

(night).

=Vera paused for a moment, then looked back to the Video Comm, which had been displayed on the front 180 degrees of the Bridge Wall, as it was made of many screens which went to the consoles of it's staff, arranged as if facing the outside of a semicircle. As he spoke, it was apparent in his voice that he was expecting a victory soon=

Ve- So, Human. I take it you have already been informed as to why we are here.

=Just then, the three capital ships from the Srevaeran fleet dropped out of Slipspace. They maneuvered themselves parallel to the Sin of Wrath. The Sethalii ships were only just smaller than the Azure Comet, and the Sin of Wrath was only just smaller than that. The Srevaeran ships were about even with the Sin. The Sin was made to look like a giant Covenant ship, while the Srevaeran ships were more like Sethalii ships in appearance, and were entirely one color. The three capital ships were an off-white=

(Jason)
Informed? No, I have not been informed. I've been trying to understand your friends there, all due respect to their language, but I can't understand what they're saying. I now have a whole battle-group on my doorstep, and, I've been told by an old friend that Delta thinks I'm behind some plot against him and he wants me dead, and the planet behind me burned to a crisp.

=The three Srevaeran ships joined the comm. Vera was quick in his response=

Ve- It is true that Delta initially thought you to be behind some sort of plot, but he quickly returned to logical thinking. He knows, or at least hopes, that you would not betray him like that. His faith in human honor, however, is weak to say the least. As for the Sethalii, they can for the most part speak the Human language perfectly fine. However, their facial structure is similar to Sangheili, which can be cause for some complications.

SM- Verr makten tah Homanh Zpajk viene.

Ve- Indeed, Vokuurn. But back to the issue of why we are here. If we came to destroy you, Human, rest assured that your suffering would be long over by now. I shall let Delta explain things to you when he arrives.

(Jason)
No offense, but are you kidding? I'd like to believe he's calmed down, really, but this is the same guy that destroyed several colonies.
=I resisted the urge to add, "And if you think killing us would have been that easy, buddy, you're in for a wild surprise." Hey, who says I can't be diplomatic?=

=The six XNNO capital ships came out of Slipspace. They too formed up parallel to the others, forming up in the center of the fleet. With the total of Thirteen superships, four of which carried weapons that could destroy a planet in a matter of minutes, even less for some, Delta was very tempted to give the order to Fire. But, he resisted. The six joined the Video Comm link=

Ve- Welcome back, Delta.

De- Good day, Vera. And you too, Vokuurn.

SM- Noh viir makten tah novaar?

(Jason)
=13. 13, massive ships, against 22 Forerunner warships, and around 30 human made warships. Yeah, this was going to get interesting if things hit the fan. I saw Delta's face on the video screen. He looked the same as before=
Greetings, Delta. To what do I owe the pleasure, of playing host to you again?

(Lana)
=i swim over to him and put my arms around him=
Thank you. You look pretty good yourself, you know.

just pretty good?

And they'd slaughter an entire universe for it....

I shake my head

That's just wrong.

=He nods=

And that's why I doubt, as of now, we are even a blip on their radar

(Dormii)
=i headed towards the hanger bay of the Trophaeum, or what I thought was the Troph. It was badly damaged, but still recognizable. I tapped into the systems and had the hanger bays open that were away from the working crews. I was still invisible to the refit station's sensors, but you can't hide from organic sight. I flew into the hanger and closed the door behind us, so as not to arouse suspicion. I sent out a ship wide comm=

Hellooooo? Anyone home?

=as I waited for a response, I turned to Paar=
Welcome to my home, the Trophaeum.

*CHECK THE SIDEARC FOR WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THEN AND NOW*

(Lana)
=i smile=
Well, I am showing more skin than you.

=i back flip and start swimming lazily=

oh, so skin decides sexual appeal?



Sun: (to Dormii) hello there and welcome

=Nick readies his rocket launcher=

Nick: No objection to that sir. Let's do this!

=The rest of Gold team nods=

Gold Team, Defensive Formation Foxtrot, go! Let's kick their asses.

Team: Hooyah, sir!

=We open fire on the Covenant=

=I comm Diana=

Diana, Where's the ship?

Diana: Check your 7 o'clock genius.

=I look and see the ship=

I got a visual Diana, thanks.

Diana: No problem big guy. Just keep them away.

That shouldn't be a problem.

=I cut back to the team channel=

What do we have for support?

Nic: Jack squat, as far as I know.

=sarcastic=Terrific. Just watch our flanks and just kill anything that isn't human.

Nic: Roger that, boss.

Dan, do have any big ships in the area? And do you have a target designator?

Dan: Yeah, we have both. Why do you ask?

Give me the designator and cover me.

=Dan hands me the designator and I run to find a spot to aim the targeter=

=I find a spot and laze the target for a strike=

Comms officer: This is the Kiev air wing. We copy your laze Gold. Stand by for bombers in 60 seconds.

Roger that Kiev, Gold copies Lima Charlie.

=I radio the team=

Hold the line for 60 seconds. Shortswords are inbound!

=I open fire and wait for the bombers=

=He leans in and kisses her as Dormii's voice rings out over the comm system=

I think an old friend is back.

(Dormii)
=replying to Sun=
Hello. And you are? You don't sound like Elyon.

(Lana)
=i chuckle=
Noooooo. Not always.

Sunrieon:

Elyon is dead same for Syaa... I am the troph's new AI, Sunrieon...


There was a mutiny



Scythe:

oh really?

(Dormii)
What mutiny?

(Lana)
Ya really.

Sun: oh you missed out *cackle* it was a swell time!

Draco is now in command



Scythe:

*poke*

(Dormii)
What happened to Zeru?

(Lana)
=i poke him back=

Sun:

he's no longer with us...

so, come and enjoy your stay on the Troph!




Scythe:

*poke*

(Dormii)
=i sigh and climb out of the fighter, not really paying any attention to Paar right now. I grabbed all my weapons and started going towards my room, at least what I hoped was my room. I sent a text message to Draco=

Code:

To: Draco
From Dormii

Hey, meet me in my room. Wanna talk to ya.

(Lana)
=i poke him back again=

Scythe:

kinda pointless... huh?

(Lana)
What, the swimming? No it's not. It's relaxing. Even more so when it's with someone you love.

no the poking...

=His gauntlet goes off. He raises it and reads the message that appears=
=He sighs and looks at Shelby=

We'll have to raincheck the walk around the station
I'm sorry.
I'll be in Dormii's room

=He kisses her and moves away from her. Going off to Dormii's room=

(Dormii)
=i got to my room and started taking my armor off, putting it on the stand. I put my arma, in various places around my armor; the knife ring around the neck, the mace on the hip, the Hook-cable-blade along the arm with the blade in the hand and the hook on the arm panel, and the staff along the back with the spear point down towards the floor and the flail above the shoulder. I started playing some music, while I waited. I was a bit ticked off, mostly because of the mutiny. I liked Zeru, I didn't think he had to die. Draco had better have a good explanation for why it happened=

*music*


(Lana)
Oh, the poking, yea. Kinda pointless. But it can be fun.

in a way yeah...


Sun:

(comms dormii) hey, who would've thought i'd go from Kota to the ship!

(Dormii)
=i tap my comm bead to reply to Sun=
Yeah, who knew.

=He walks thrugh the ship, back to the living quarters. No doubt Sun had already told him of the preceding events that had occured. He thought of a reason, then the bigger subject hit him. What would Dormii say when he found out that Draco was sort of with Shelby=

=He sighs and shakes his head=

(Lana)
Well, you wanna swim with me? Relax a bit more? It'd help us work up an appetite.

=He approaches the door and knocks. As he waits for the answer his eyes change to white=

Zayne: Mind if I speak with him first?

Scythe:

okay

=i do a lap around her before floating on my back=

(Dormii)
=i heard a knock on the door over the music. The music had hit the first verse, and it was fairly loud like I usually like my music. Loud enough to go into the hallway=
"I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
See right through you any hour"

Come on in, Draco!

(Lana)
=i chuckle=
No need to show off, honey.

=i start swimming lazily around again=

=He opens the door and walks in. The music blaring. He takes the nearest wall and leans against it. He looks up to where Dormii is waiting for him to speak first=

i like showing off

(Dormii)
=i look at Draco, my arm panels twitching to show my annoyance=
You mind explaining why you took over this ship?

(Lana)
=i laugh=
Indeed you do.

you know it!

=He gives a smile=

Zayne: The young bastard had it good for far too long.

=He shrugs=

Zayne: It was time for a change of command.

(Dormii)
=i finally notice his eyes. White, which means Zayne, not Draco=
Zayne. Leave. This is for Draco.

(Lana)
That isn't always a good thing.

=i chuckle again=
Although, for you, it usually is.

a lot of things are good for me

i'm awesome that way
