Chapter 4: Exodus part 2

He said...

=She looks down at her hands=
That if those people didn't die at that village... That I would be dead... And he's right... I would be..

But who's to say that those people might have invented a biological virus that kills 3 years after infection, and can be spread by simple proximity? There is no way of knowing what might have happened, one can only know what happen.

=She looks at Dormii=
What!? That isn't the point... Everyone in that village died and because of that I'm alive...

=She wipes the tear from her face and turns away from Dormii embarrassed=
My life only exits because all those people died...

You are alive because we were in the right place at the right time. Those people had nothing to do with it. The gods wanted you to live, or so I think.

Gods!?

=She laughs=
What kind of gods would live in this world!? Is it just part of some test!? Then we get to go to some never ending afterlife!?

=She stands up, her back still to Dormii=
You and I both know if Draco wasn't there that day I would have died... Its nothing to do with ''gods''

I believe that there are multiple gods, but they only watch as things happen. They may influence events, but if they do, they do not desire credit for anything that happens.

How do you know events would have gone differently if Zayne never killed those people? How do you know that the past would have changed?

Tell me then? Why would these ''all mighty gods'' be bothering with me?

=She sighs=
I don't know the past would of changed... But I do know what happened... And Zayne was right, I owe my life to him..

=jokingly= Why does anyone bother with anything? Because otherwise life would be boring.

=serious= For all we know, events would never have changed, had Zayne never killed those people. We don't know what would have happened instead.

=She turns to Dormii=
If you believe in these ''gods'' so much, tell me... What have they ever done for you? Did they help you on that ship? Was that part of their plan to not make ''life not so boring''?

(He stops crying)
(He stands up)
(His face hurting from the slaps Ash had dealt)
(He walks to the training room)
(He begins punching the dummy)
(Repeatedly)
(Letting his anger out)
(One blow, One kick, right after the other)

=comm to domri=

(He heads off for the that the incident occured)
(He searrches everywhere for Ash's armor)
(He finds it in Dormii's room)
(He heads out for the pelican)
(He arrives and knocks)
(apologetically)

Ash
I have your armor

*yawn* ugh damn my back hurts, been awhile since i've slept in an actual bed, Sunrieon, time?

=She speaks nervously=
Thanks... Just leave it there...

=She walks off to the cockpit and closes the door=

(He enters walking past Dormii)
(He places the armor in the ship)
(He leans on the side of the door)
(He shakes with fear)

=She sighs=
I know your there Draco... I just want to be alone...

=She runs her hands though her hair=
I've got nothing to say to you right now...

(He looks down)
@Ash
I........I understand.

(he leaves the pelican)
(He heads out to the beach)

Sun- The current standard Revaerian time is 9:07 a.m.

(Standard Revaerian time runs on a system of 100 seconds = 1 emin. 100 emins = 1 aerin. 10 Aerins = 1 day. one day based on this cycle is approximatley 3 earth days. some seriously complicated math went into making up this crap. enjoy.)

=She sighs again, and looks out the cockpit window=
I thought it was going to be a nice day...

=She sits down in the pilots chair and watches the day pass, drifting in and out of her thoughts=
I can never really be safe with him... I promised I would look after him, but I can't...

damn, I've slept that long huh? *mumble*
= gets dress and heads out to the rec. room, sees vout there=
morning!

(He arrvies at the beach)
(He sits down)

She is not safe with me.
No matter how much I want to deny it.
She is not safe.
Never safe.

Voutan- Well hello there, sleeping ugly!
=He chuckles=
Want some OJ?

=on his way out he sees a new ship curious he heads to it=

i wonder who's this could be only one way to find out

=grabs a large rock and chucks it at the hull=

Oh, I see how it is.
=he laughs a bit=
Well you know what they say. The early bird gets the first chance to bury his face in the mud!
=laughs=

~ it's true.

(He wraps his arms around his legs and begins to rock)
Andrea play album Holding on to strings better left to fray, Artist Seether

*Playing*

(The music fills him)

What did Dormii mean. Come see him. When I am ready.

=He laughs. He hears a bang outside the ship=
Voutan- What the hell was that!? Get your shit.
=He puts on his helmet and unslings his MCR=
Meet me in the lower deck.
=He heads to the entry ramp, waiting until Tar-Tun arrives to open it=

Can we still leave together..? Dose he want to still leave..?

=She closes her eyes and thinks of better times=
I can't! I just can't get it out of my head...

=She opens them again=
How did he know..? He must of been thinking about it for awhile.. What if Draco was thinking about it..?

=throws armor on, grabs spiker and a few stickies, and heads to the closed entry ramp to meet Voutan=
you ready?

Voutan- Always.
=He hits the button to lower the entry ramp. He slides down, Rifle ready, and looks for this potential threat=

=rushes down the ramp to catch up with Vout=
who the hell...

=is standing right beside him with a gun to there faces=

that's not very nice i knock and u try and point guns at me now kindly lower them

who the hell are you?

(I exit the ship and go to the air field)

Now what was Snow's comm frequency again?

(I try one)

Thats it, perfect

(Over the comms) Snow, where are you? Come on man, answer me...

Patience, Marcus; Patience

(He cuts the current track short)
(He takes out the Handcannon)
(He looks at it)
(Observing it)

Voutan- I suggest you do so, Spartan. Lest you wish to lose your head.
=Motions towards Tar, holding his spiker agains the new spartan's head=

(He remembers back)
This is happening.
Just like with Lynn.
I cant have happiness.
I can never love.

(He holsters the pistol)

=He lowers his gun and takes off his helmet=
Voutan- Oh, Zeru its you. I didnt reconize you in your armor.
=He leans around him to speak to Tar=
It's okay. He's freindly. Just a little mix-up is all.

=lowers gun=

=lowers his weapons as well=

dealing with these people who wouldn't be mixed up so mind if i come on?

That wasn't a fair comment I made to Dormii... He's only trying to help me...

=She drops her head=
What should I do..? Go find Draco..? I don't know any more...

=Immer comes out with a crate full of supplies to bring to the compound=
Immer- Oh hey, Zeru.
=continues walking to the compound with the crate=

Voutan- Sure, come on in.
=He leads them both into the ship=

(He continues the track, Master of Disaster)

(He looks out to the ocean)
She needs time alone
She.....she.

Voutan- It was designed after my Father's old ship. Upgraded and modified with state of the art equipmetn to meet my own personal needs, of course.

=He sits down on the couch with his glass of Orange Juice=
Voutan- State of the art security systems. Tested and proven uncrackable by any hacking system, plus a few added measures.

=wanders into kitchen to find something to eat=

=since Draco left the pelican, I've been searching the base for Jay. I've had no luck. I stop in the mass hall and grab a small bagel. I eat it as I go=

If I don't find her on this pass, I'll assume she's still in the vent. I haven't heard anything about her so...
