Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm

I open comms again

Dormii. Cleaning stuff.

=I lower the gun=

Me: A new.. what?! Wait, how are you.. What is going on!?!?!

Cmon =i lead Snow to the hanger bay= Ta-Da! A new ship! Jay got it for us.

Me: Jay...?

=I flip off the safety=

Me: Where is that little freak?

I wave over at Snow from the other ship

Hey dude. Sorry about everything but i hope this makes up for it.

I spread my arms wide to indicate the ship.

=I lower the weapon and holster it=

Me:=Whisper= You're luck I saved your life

=I reach into my bag and retrieve Jay's gift and give it to Dormii=

Me: This doesn't belong to me.

=i take it= Hey, Jay! Wanna come back over? I got something that belongs to you.

No. You still have my cleaning stuff remember?

I do. Want me to come over, or do want me to throw it? Screw it, throwing.

=i throw the cleaning gear over as well as the pistol=

=I stop Dormii=

Me: I need to go over there. She could need more medical attention, she didn't seem very stable when we patched her up.. She just seems to.. happy..

=I get ready to jump across=

Me: Here goes nothing

=I barely make it and try to catch my breath=

=to Jay= Anything else?

No, go start getting things over here. Start with the smaller things like food and water.

Understood. =private comm= We gonna talk after this?

=i start gathering smaller supplies, food rations, ammo packs etc=

I don't know. Are we?

I continue cleaning up

=I take out the pistol=

Me: I don't care what Dormii says, I still don't trust you.. Now let me take a look at your wounds

I sigh and take my armour off

Go for it?

=I peel back the bandages on the side and stomach=

Me: Well.. you have a loose stitch on your stomach, you mind if I sew that back up real quick?

=I start to take out stitches=

=to Jay=We will. How much do we need? They should have a full stock, right?

Just bring everything we have of use over anyway. May aswell get the most out of our ship before we blow it to hell.

=i pause for a sec= Wait, what??

=I finish sewing it on and take out the burner=

Me: Just in case

=I burn the skin around the stitches=

Me: All done.. I am keeping my eye on you and if you go crazy again... I. Will. Kill. You.

The ships useless and we can't leave it around for the UNSC to find. We need to strip all avaliable tech and equipment from it and then blow it up.

I glare at Snow

Threaten me again and you'll be the dead one.

=i put the items back in the bag=

Me: We will see..

=I put my visor to black=

Me: Let's search the ship.

=i partly hear the conversation between Jay and Snow= You kill her, you die, same way. Understand?

=to Jay= and why are we going to abandon it in the first place?

Go for it.

I continue cleaning

And because Dormii. It has no engines. And the slipspace drive is a bit...Well ruined now.

And you know this because...?

I may have caused it...

=i open a helmet camera feed. eyebrow raised= and you did that because...?

I needed to make it up to you guys

I grin sheepishly

=i smile and chuckle= Okay then. Now I just need to find Zeru. You get the pistol?

Erm what?

=Before leaving the hangar I glance back at Jay, then continue on=

I tossed the pistol over to you with the cleaning supplies. Remember? the one with your name on it?

Erm? I only saw cleaning supplies?

=I unsling the Assault Rifle from my shoulder in case any friendlies are on here=

Me: Hello?

Check the hanger bay, back wall. It may have gone over there.

=armor speakers= ZERU! GET UP! Cmon! We got a new ship!

=I suddenly get tackled by a person=

Person: Who are you!?

=I manage to get the pistol from my bag and shoot him in the leg=

Me: I am a bad person to fuck with.

=to myself= Fuck it. =i leave a recorded message for Zeru=

=i jump over to the new ship= =open comm= Hey, what is the name of this thing, anyway?

I don't know, name it?

=He takes the gun away from me and string up my AR and gun him down=

Me: Don't mess with me, bitch.

Unknown voice: Won't need to.

=I shot rings out and fires straight through my chest, I fall limp but still conscious.=

=i land in the hanger bay, i walk over to Jay= How about the Sangui Manacae? The Hand of Blood? Not like we do anything else but fight, is there?

=I try to crawl away with all my strength and I open a Comm=

Me: Guys.. We are not alone

=The comm goes static=

=i hear Snow over the comm= Oh, shit.

=to Jay= You ready? We may have to fight some more.

=I start to cough up blood and continue to crawl away=

Me: Punctured lung

=I to reach the door, sobbing=

Me: They.. They.. They got me...

=I am motionless=

Hmm i thought i had got everyone.

I guess not. =i find the pistol and hand it to her= Ready?

I push it away

I've done enough shooting today.
