Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2

Guest

=Ash gets up and leaves the room=
I wonder if everyone's O'k... I haven't seen a soul since I got up, maybe if I can find the bridge I can find someone... Or where the hell we are going..

=She begins walking around the ship looking for the bridge=
Everything just seems so unreal, the whole fact Macgraw is still alive.. I don't even no how to comprehend that, I still didn't get to say goodbye.

=She enters the Bridge but see's its empty=
Not a single person is up here? This Frigate is just like the Thor, the same places, space everything... But its nothing like it... All those's people, all that time...

=She sits down=

Guest

=I flip on all comms, hoping some one will hear=

Me: Guys.. I am.. sorry... I.. I.

=I fall limp, cold and lifeless=
=This was my final moments.. so I though=

Guest

=The fleet of 30+ 808th ships leaves the Obsidian Wolf and all lock coordinates. In one massive flash of light, they make a simultanious slipspace jump towards earth. As they pull out, the Azure Comet is confronted by comms from a UNSC vessel over the planet=

[UNSC] This is the UNSC Shimmer of Light. State you business here. All unauthorized vessels in this system are to be destoryed.

=The Azure Comet and Cobalt Moon pull up to each side of the UNSC ship, and shred it with devestating broadsides from their supirior weaponry. Just before the ship falls into dead space in a feild of scrap metal, they send out a distress signal. The other 808th ships move in closer to earth=

[Delta] And so it begins...

(He stands up and heads off to the bridge)
(The events from the night before replaying)
(The stab, the scream)
I was useless to save her
I couldve, shouldve stopped him
He will pay the next time I see him
I hope she is still alive
God I hope she is still alive

(He finds his way to the bridge)
(He sees Ash sitting)
I am naturally drawn to her

(He stands in the doorway)
I gave my armor to my clone
(He brings out his supply bag and brings out the jackel shield)
I saved this and Lynn gave me my weapons
No armor.
(He pops off his right arm and begins repairs)

=The UNSC ships and the 808th ships all begin firing upon eachother in a massive space battle. One heavily damaged ship escapes to get help and inform others that Earth is under seige=

(He pops the arm back into place)
(He had made it so that he can take the forearm off and attach a weapon to it)
Well, I need to get started on the machine gun attachment
(He looks up from his work, Ash is still there)
(He smiles)

=with Jay's help, I make it to the bridge, the comms console. I see Draco and Ash sitting there. I begin accessing the info on the ONI servers. without taking my eyes off of the console, i address Draco= Hey, need any help on that arm of yours?

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He notices Dormii and Jay)
@Dormii
Nah man.

(He places the jackel shield down and begins repairs to it)

=The Azure Comet and the other 808th ships head down to the planet's surface. Delta and Giga lead lead squads of SS through the streets of New York City, Theta in Berlin, Alpha in Moscow, Beta in Washington D.C., and Sigma in London. There are people screaming and running, firefights all over, and ship-to-ship battles above. The planet is being brought to its knees=

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He begins to think)
(to himself)
I wonder if he completed the mission
My life depends on his sacrifice

(His thoughts wander to Grace)
I will kill him
I will have revenge on what he did
He will regret that action

(His thoughts come to rest back on his project)

(He brings the device up)
Perfect

(He lays out his Angel Maker, Hydra, and Handcannon)
(He begins to repair them individually)

=the screen flashes with new warnings and popups. Worry and fear line my face=

Code:: WARNING:TRCBCK initialized. Locating intrusion....intrusion located

BGN TRCBCK...0.9%....7.9%....14.2%......

=i begin to try and stall the trace= Choose faster, Meo Amo.

=i try every trick i know of stopping a trace. i jump the signal to several ships along the broadcast path, i bounce it off of several satellites, i even loop it back upon itself a few times. nothing works=

Code:: 23.1%......23.9%.......

Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did the gods give the UNSC the gift of knowledge?! I liked them stupid!

Guest

=She looks over to Draco briefly, her mind lost in thought=
So Lynn... Is she you girlfriend? I heard you talk about her back in the Cells, She seems nice..

=She looks back out at space=

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He looks up at Ash)
@Ash
My ex.
She is a nice person.
known her all of my life

Guest

Good you guys saw each other again, you sound close...

=She turns away from him=
Its good she got you your weapons back..

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

@Ash
We are.......Well were.........at least

Guest

Hmm... Why did you guys spilt up? She must of liked you still, after what she did for you.. getting your weapons leaving your Cell open.

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

@Ash
Hmm.
We split because I wanted to protect her.

Guest

=She stares of into the distance=
So you didn't really brake up..? You just left her, after what happened in the village...?

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He puts his head on the wall)
@Ash
I left everything that day, not just her.
I left my team
I left my position
I left everything

But do I have regrets
sometimes
but if none of that happened
I would never have met you on the Thor.

Guest

If you didn't leave her... And run away you would of never found me... And I wouldn't be stuck here, you might of left everything but you can still recognise the world!... Fourteen years... Fourteen frozen in space... You don't even dream in Cryo.. The only thing that didn't change was War... You don't know what I went though down there! Sometimes it makes me wish I never got out of Cryo...

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 06:32 am

=the trace kept getting closer, Jay was still deciding= Crap, crap, crap, crap. Nonononononono! Hey, guys! need some help here!

Code:: 30.4%....31.0%....32.9%....

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

@Ash
You're right
I can never know what happened
I can never know.

Guest

Your right... You can't
=She stands up and walks out of the bridge ignoring Dormii and Jay completely=

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He looks down)
(His eyes darken)
Why.

(he can hear Dormii, but just doesnt want to move)

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 06:47 am

Code:: 34.6%.....43.2%.......43.7%.....

Cmon you bastard computer! Listen to me! Hey! Will someone help me here?

Guest

=Ash stands outside the Bridge she hears Dormii screaming franticly=
I better help him even if I don't want to see Draco right now...

=She enters the Bridge=
Dormii move over what have you done now??!

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 06:54 am

=to Ash= I hacked ONI. They want to find us. Go to that terminal, =i point= slow down the trace as much as possible. I'm going to do the same, but im also going to download some info.

Code:: 45.7%....

FU-K!

Guest

=She runs off to the other terminal shouting at Dormii=
Why! Why hack Oni you asking for this...! And your going about it all wrong! We can't stop the trace now but if were fast enough we can send it dummy coordinates!

=She franticly types at the terminal=

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 07:02 am

It was Jay's idea! Who is now asleep...great. Anyway, she knew of a place where we could hide and live normal lives. As normal as we can get. It's a Spartan training complex, and obviously classified, so, hack ONI. It is not my fault that they found my way inside! Completely not my fault! All theirs!

Code:: 55.3%.......58.9%.......68.3%......

Guest

=She begins uploading the dummy coordinates=
Oh yeah I'm sure Jay wanted you to hack the Oni mainframe! You left fingerprints all over this place! Dam it I thought you knew computers! Almost there...! I just hope the system will fall for it....

=She watches the screen patiently=

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 07:12 am

Hey, I know computers! This is only the second time I've messed up! The first is when i hit decompress instead of open, and I maintain that they were labelled wrong!

How else would one gain info on the Spartan program? I went in through the Director, like always. He has been none the wiser for several months now! This is the first time he caught me!

=i scream at the console= And you haven't gotten me yet, asshole! I'm still ahead of you!

Code:: 68.0%........68.0%.........60%..........53.9%......

And it's working. =i sigh with relief- Now, about that download....

Guest

=Ash turns around=
Don't!

=She sighs=
I will get the download... You go rest or whatever it is you do....

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 07:21 am

I am perfectly capable of doing the download. I think. Maybe. No, I am. I swear! I am Dormii Fortuni, and I am.....drunk? Oh, that's a bad sign. =my bandages on my legs are bleeding through. i collapse on the floor=

Guest

=She sighs finishes the download and erases all traces of the hack=
I can't... do that any more.. We were almost goners...

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He looks over and see Dormii fall)
(He stands and walks over to him)
(He picks him up and takes him to the Medbay)
You really need to stop overdoing yourself

(He begins to fix Dormii up)
Well I am no medic, but I think I have seen Grace do a lot of these

Subject: Re: Chapter 3-A: Calm before the Storm Part 2 31/05/11, 07:35 am

=slurred= I am not overdoing anything! It's my damn leg! It keeps bleeding! When i bleed i get drunk, more i bleed the more i get drunk. At least, think it is drunk. I explained to some marines and they said it was drunk. So i am drunk.

and i need to do something. If i don't, i think. If i think, i think for too long, and i think of things that i should not think of. I need to do something. =i try to get up=

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He knocks Dormii out)
@Dormii
Dont think, Dream

(He continues the procedure)

Guest

=She looks back at the door Draco walked out=
What came over me...? That wasn't fair, but I felt like I needed to say it... I should talk to him, I can't let him leave like that..

=She sighs=
I just don't know...

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He had managed to fix Dormii's leg)
Well.
That was simple.
Dream mi amigo. Dream.

(He leaves for his room)

Guest

=She leaves the Bridge=
Where am I going to go...? I can't stay with Draco he won't want to talk to me... I should find somewhere else..

=She walks around looking for a room=

The Wizards Posts : 7896 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 29

(He sits down on his bed)
(He runs his hand through his head)
I will never know.
Can never understand.
I am not angry at her.
She speaks the truth.

Guest

=She finds a room with an empty bed=
Why did I have to say those things.. He didn't deserve my anger, I shouldn't of burst out at him... I should say sorry, but I need to get some rest...

=She lies down on the bed a falls asleep=

The Wizards Posts : 4579 Join date : 2011-05-10

I wake up off of the floor trying to remember what had made me faint in the first place. The flash of memories when i saw that list. Yet where i was found wasn't on that list, but i knew now. I knew the name of the planet.

Chi Cheti IV!

I leave a recorded message to Zeru and start up the frigate, aligning the co-ordinates for the slipspace jump. I feel the familiar tremble as we rip space apart and i relax back in my chair suddenly noticing how hungry i felt.

Well this journey's gonna take time. I suppose a bit of food wouldn't hurt.

I head to the canteen and begin cooking a full breakfast for everyone. As i cook i realize that i don't have a clue what kind of food Ash or Draco like.

I guess they will just have to like this then.

I smile to myself and continue cooking

Guest

=Ash wakes up and runs her hands though her hair=
I can't believed all that happened... I just wish I knew what he felt, dose he still like her...?

=She stands up and walks to the cafeteria=
I need to talk to him...

The Wizards Posts : 4579 Join date : 2011-05-10

I'm sure i'm forgetting something...

I suddenly click my fingers and run into the larder, grabbing some more food and putting it into the already overflowing pan.

I'm making so many dishes, there must be one they will like...

Guest

=Ash enters the cafeteria she sees Jay=
Hi... Glad to see your better after that ordeal...
=She walks closer to her=
I'm sure you want me to tell you, about.. Macgraw?

The Wizards Posts : 4579 Join date : 2011-05-10

I sigh but continue bouncing around cooking.

Lets make it a subject to discuss over breakfast? I don't know what you like so i just made a lot of stuff. Which one would you prefer? Omelette? Bacon sandwich? Full breakfast?

I wait for her reply, turning off the heat to the cooker

Guest

=She awkwardly reply's=
Um.. Omelette I guess

=She sits down=
I never though they taught Spartans to cook..
