Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 6

(Al)
=I catch the chair so it wouldn't fall over from his attempts.=
"Didn't think so.."
=I push the chair back on all fours.=
"I ask yet again, how does this virus work and how is it disabled?"

(Dormii)
Eam Remota systemata. Accipere Divinatio.

Quote :

It isolates the systems. Take a guess.

(Al)
...
"Annnnd? How is it disabled?"

(Dormii)
Tu statuam nexu...?

Quote :

You establish the connections...?

(Al)
=I don't say anything but walk out of the room.=
=I've never been a techie so this was helpful, or anything technical for that matter.=
=I went to the A.I. explained what it was and asked some questions.=

Al
I figured out how this virus works but first, a question. What ships are currently docked here?
A.I.
We h-v- t-o tr-de ships a
Al
Ok, maybe later. The virus is blocking communication from the Comm's systems and apparently your connection too. I'll see what I can do.

That will have to be done later, but for now I need to know if his friends are here.
=I go back into the room very calmly.=
"Tell me now so we don't have to drag this out. Is The Trophaeum here? And are the other rogue Spartans still with you?"

(Dormii)
Non. non dicam vobis. Non amicis tradit.

Quote :

No. I will not tell you. I will not betray my friends.

(Al)
...
"Family guy, huh? Lets see if I can't break that."
=I grab a hammer of the selve, shake it around.=
"I really don't want to go looking for them, Dormii."

(Dormii)
=i say nothing just look at the Spartan=

(Al)
"Last chance before I start smashing...."

(Dormii)
=i close my eyes, and relax=
Sanguine meo caecitas.
Ardet enim dolore.
Clamoribus nobis damnari.

Quote :

Blood for my blindness.
Burns for their pain.
Screams for us damned.

=i awaited the pain, knowing I had the upper hand here. They needed me to talk=

(Al)
=I sighed..... I'm not a torturer.... F*ck.=
"I really didn't want to do this.... but you leave me no choice."
=I raised the hammer.... I can't do it, can I? I bring it down onto his hand.=

(Dormii)
=i wanted to scream, but I hold it back and repeat my mantra=
Sanguine meo caecitas.
Ardet enim dolore.
Clamoribus nobis damnari.

Quote :

Blood for my blindness.
Burns for their pain.
Screams for us damned.

(Al)
=His silence relieved me, I can't handle screams.=
=I smash down on his hand again, this time harder.=
"Tell me and this will stop."
=I raise it again.=

(Dormii)
=i twitched, but gritted my teeth and refused to say anything other than my mantra=

Sanguine meo caecitas.
Ardet enim dolore.
Clamoribus nobis damnari.

Quote :

Blood for my blindness.
Burns for their pain.
Screams for us damned.

(Al)
=I bring it down again but this time on the knee.=
"Just.... tell me, Dormii."

(Dormii)
=i grit my teeth and say quietly=
Sanguine meo caecitas.
Ardet enim dolore.
Clamoribus nobis damnari.

Quote :

Blood for my blindness.
Burns for their pain.
Screams for us damned.

(Al)
=I bring the hammer down again onto his hand again, this time spewing blood.=
"D*mmit!"
=I left in a rage, slamming the door behind me.=
"Someone! Get In There And Clean Up!"

(Jessie)
=We found the medbay intact and Al storming out of a room.=
"Hey! Why are you so mad? Where is he? Did he come?"

(Al)
=I stop in my tracks to explain.=
Yes he came, Hes in that closet. Hes pissing me off. D*mmit, he should've just told me which hanger the ship is in, I know its here, he wouldn't leave them!"
=I don't wait for her to respond as I dart for the mainframe.=

(Jessie)
"He's a little mad, ill see if I can do something."
=I go over to where he pointed out.=
=I slowly open the door to see a torture scene.=
"Oh....Jesus"

(Dormii)
=i glare at the person who opened the door next, refusing to show that I gave in=
Sanguine meo caecitas.
Ardet enim dolore.
Clamoribus nobis damnari.

Quote :

Blood for my blindness.
Burns for their pain.
Screams for us damned.

(Jessie)
"Why...are you speaking....Latin?"
=I knew some of his words.=
"What did he do to you.."
"This isn't at all what's suppose to happen... here"
=I take out some of my personal medicine.=
=I slowly get closer.=

(Dormii)
=i glare at her with murder in my eyes=
Suus non conscius electio ad Latine loqui. Tu eligere quod oculus videre de?

Quote :

It's not a conscious choice to speak Latin. Do you choose which eye to see out of?

=my arm blade is still extended, and the panels on my arm quiver in anger=

(Al)
"Wait...First."
=I download maps of the station out of a A.I. console then continue on my merry way.=

(Jessie)
"...I see."
=I don't think I heard him right...=
=His eyes.... I've only seen that want for blood since...=
=I left the room and Comm'd Al."
"Where are you going?"
No response.
"Hello?"

(Al)
=I ignored her, she was annoying me at the moment.=
=I look around, trying to find.=

(Jessie)
"Hm, comms must be out."
=I go back into the room.=
"You aren't going to talk are you?"

(Dormii)
=i shook my head and gestured at my body, waiting for her to take her own conclusion=

(Jessie)
*sigh*
"Had to try. Just sit tight .... what is that blade?"
=Curiosity got the better of me.=

(Dormii)
Brachium ensis. Venit cum fictus brachium.

Quote :

Arm blade. Came with the prosthetic.

(Jessie)
=I had to accept I didn't know Latin as much as I thought I knew.=
=I used my A.I. to translate.=
....
"Arm blade huh? And those, things are your arm, sputtering."

(Dormii)
Propono passiones.

Quote :

Display emotions.

(Jessie)
"Interesting.."
O.N.I. needs to update their files on these people.
"Then.... that... I couldn't blame you, if a bunch of people come in uninvited and ruin your life, tie you and beat you "

(Al)
=There, I found the mainframe finally.=
=I use my A.I. to help me through this, using files off of U.N.S.C. to guide me.

(Dormii)
Tunc iratus hab ostendit velle occidere.

Quote :

Then it shows I am extremely angry and want to kill you.

(Jessie)
"Like I said, I couldn't blame you. But the past always ends up coming back to you. Soon enough, the U.N.S.C. will be here to take you away."
=I stood there, wishing we could get the U.N.S.C. here.=

(Al)
=I fidget with some wires then proceed to the computer screen.=
"You're going to have to help ne, Kat."
=I play with that for awhile.=

(Dormii)
Atque ego quoque occidite.

Quote :

And I'll kill them too.

(Jessie)
....
"I highly doubt you'll be getting out of that chair let alone kill people in it."

(Dormii)
=i chuckle lightly=
Malesuada interficere cujuscumque.

Quote :

Vikings can kill regardless.

(Jessie)
...
"So you're a Viking. No wonder you're so bloodthirsty. "
=I move my head around, looking everywhere.=
"I'm sorry, but you aren't going to kill anyone else anymore. It will be your end within a couple days."

(Dormii)
=i lunged forward, trying to get at the person=
Non volo hoc! Volui in pace! Sed quemadmodum manu mea! Modo aliquid ad hoc facis!

Quote :

I don't want this! I wanted to live in peace! But you are forcing my hand! Somehow, some way you are doing this to her!

(Jessie)
=Fear quickly flooded my body, preventing me from moving when he lunged.=
=The thought of this killer getting out was frightening.=
"...."
=I gain my strength back.=
"You have a woman? What is her name?"

(Dormii)
=i shook my head and didn't answer, but lunged forward again=
Quo modo hoc facis. Quia ulciscor. EGO OCCIDERE UNSC!

Quote :

Somehow, you are doing this. I will get revenge for it. I WILL KILL THE UNSC!

(Jessie)
=This guy scared the ever living out of me, then he jumped at me again. So my first reaction was to fight and I did.=
=I pushed him back, landing on the chair's hind legs. They couldn't take both his weight and the force I put into it.=
=With a loud crashing sound, the hind legs on the chair snap in two.=
=Hes on his back, thankfully when I pull out my weapon an assault rifle.=
=Comm=
'Al you there? The.... chair broke."

(Dormii)
=the chair snapped, and some of the ropes went slack. I worked my arm, and cut loose some of the other ones. I tried to keep it hidden, but it was hard, if it worked=

(Al)
=Comms=
"How'd it break?! Its simply easy enough to watch him...*sigh* ok, I'm coming in a minute."
=I move the mouse over the button yes and click.=
"There, the comms should start working again hopefully."
=I get up then start going back to the medbay at a jogging pace.=

(Jessie)
=Comms=
"Good, he could break out or something."
=I look back to ... what was his name again?=
"Don't move."
=I lean against the wall. Watching.=

(Dormii)
Aut quod?

Quote :

Or what?

(Jessie)
"Smart mouthed too huh? I can deal with that."
=I begin to yawn.=
"You know, chasing after people gets tiring."

(Al)
=I don't take my time getting back, I ran, because if he escaped, that would've put us back to square one.=
=I turn into the medbay and go straight to the temporary holding cell.=
=I see Dormii on his back, Jessie also on her back against the wall.=
"Great and Good news. Great news, the comms are working again. Good news, we have to move him anyway."

(Jason)
=There was no answer from Delta. Either the message hadn't reached him, or he was too busy to read it, I couldn't tell. I knew that sending him the message multiple times wouldn't help. It might annoy him. So, for the moment, I spent my time on the bridge, checking the systems, and even playing a game of chess with Argo. He beat me=

(Dormii)
=i glared at them, waiting for my chance to escape=

(Al)
"Come here, I need to talk to you."
=Opening the door so she could come outside.=
=We start walking and talking.=
"What should we do with Paarthurnax?"
Who?
The Elite, who should be awake soon.
Give him back to the Covenant, he is no longer needed. We need to turn Dormii in first before we do anything and find the other fugitives.
The A.I. will be able to communicate properly now, we'll just get him to tell us what ships are docked here. After that, if they are here, we gotta catch them.
Alright, but for now, where are we going to move him?
A more proper holding facility.

(Miranda)
=Silence, and loneliness, greeted me when I woke. Jason was not in bed, no doubt already awake and somewhere else. I got up, took a brief shower, and dressed. When I exited the room, the crew deck was empty, though there was evidence of a meal being eaten earlier, probably by the other occupants. I took the lift up to the bridge, where I found Jason sitting at a console, a hologram of a chessboard before him, and Argo's voice suddenly filled the room=

(Argo)
Checkmate.

(Jason)
Fuck!

Paarthurnax woke, with the taste of dryness in his mouth, if that even tasted. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he felt better, a lot better. He looked around, it was a little brighter.

(Miranda)
=That made me chuckle, and the sound of it drew Jason's attention to me=
I see you're getting schooled in chess.

(Jason)
Yeah.....chess, is not my forte.

(Miranda)
Well, if you want, I can always give you lessons.

(Jason)
Thanks, but I don't think I'll be playing this game anytime soon.

(Dormii)
=i got up into a sitting position and cut the ropes that were around my legs. My left hand was bleeding, and I could feel something broken in my knee and my hand. I could walk, but it would hurt and it would probably worsen it. I didn't care, I used my right hand to push up off the ground, getting into a weak kneel. I stood up uncertainly, and limped over to the door, waiting next to it to ambush the next person to walk in=

(Al)
=With that said, we went our different ways.=
=I go to the A.I. console activate it.=
"A.I. what ships are docked? This is urgent."
We have the Bold Crusader, a battleship, Kinorath, a trading ship and The Whisper of Life, Recently docked Frigate/u]
"None of them are what we are looking for... D*mmit!.... What about the newest ship? Give me everything you have on it."
[u]U.N.S.C. battleship, recently docked due to rebel forces attacks, Captain is Miller, few survivors, mainly Spartans
"Spartans? Oldest fake name Miller? Suspicious."

(Jessie)
=I headed to his room with more rope, I stopped at the doors.=
"Marines, did anyone come in?"
No ma'am.
"Ok, follow me incase he got out. Oh and hold this."
=I hand one of them the rope as the other opened the door.=
=I enter the room first, gun out.=

Whiskey, get a Hog down there and scout what's left of the city. Report your finding to me, see if those fuckin' covenant are still there. Joseph, get the engineers to check all vehicles we have left. We need those repaired if we want a chance at taking back the city. We don't have much time.



HM Headquarters

Marine - Sir, we have reporting of a missile hitting the city, blew it to shit. Something isn't right here. It doesn't seem like the rebels would blow their own city up.

Captain - No, we need to get down there now. Get a few Pelicans out there, check for survivors.

Marine - Yes sir.

=The marine gathers some soldiers and they load in two pelicans, they take off and head for the city=


=Whiskey left in the Warthog, on a main road heading towards the city=
Chase - What the hell is th-..?

Jeremy - Stop the Hog!

Amber - Ambush!

=A group of rebels emerge from both sides of the snowy forest, firing at the squad. The squad hops out of the vehicle and fires at the rebels. Amber, on the gunner, gets shot.=

Jeremy - Julias! Man the gun!

Julias - Ugh!

HM Pelican (one) - I see something, there.

HM Pelican (two) - Something in the forest.

HM Pelican (one) - What is it?

HM Pelican (two) I don't know, let's check it out.

=The two pelicans turn completely and head toward the firing=

Chase - Shit! Engaging!

HM Pelican (one) - Rebels attacking something else, I would assume.

HM Pelican (two) - Other rebels?

HM Pelican (one) - Couldn't be.

Chase : Shit! They have reinforcements! Two pelicans coming in!

HM Pelican (one) - Firing ANVIL-II ASM in the forest.

HM Pelican (two) - Firing.

=The two pelicans take each side, taking out the rebels, and near hitting the Marines=

Chase - Those ain't rebels.

Jeremy- Hardly.

HM Pelican (one) - Initialize landing gear.

=The pelicans land on the road, the marines get out, and run to the warthog=

Marines - Hand up in the air!

Chase - We're on your si-..

Sergeant Miller - I don't care whose side your on, you're coming with us.
