Chapter 4: Exodus part 2

Well, you are starting to dream about the fire. And you are lashing out at those that try to help, back on the pelican. Either of those you wanna talk about?

=She lifts her head back up and stares at Dormii=
What!? How did you know about my dream

=She sighs=
I know... What I said... It wasn't fair...

(He sits at the table, listening to the conversation)
(Looking down)

=Torres enters the messhall to get some food=

Muttering in your sleep.

And it was totally fair. Religion isn't a perfect explanation, but it's better. You don't owe your life to Zayne. You owe your life to Draco. =i nod at him= He is the one who saved you, not Zayne.

=Delta becomes frustrated that the prisoner was able to escape. He gets into a transport with a few guards and head off toward the prisoner's last known Direction, determined to kill anyone who gets in his way=

=I see dormii ash and draco sitting together so I decide to sit with them=

=i wave Torres over, but i give him the quiet signal=

=I see Dormii movement and understand. I sit by him.=

=She speaks under her breath=
Only because of Zayne..

=She looks at Draco to see his reaction=

=He watches a Zeru leaves the ship. Sunreion displays his avatar on the table in front of Voutan=

Voutan- Did you get it?

Sun- Yes. Hack attempt recorded, analized. Systems adapted.

Voutan- but what about the data?

Sun- Oh its no trouble. I would expect the person who designed the program to know about it.

Voutan- Ooh. you used the substitution program. So what did you send him?

Sun- An old corrupted data file on a covonant Seraph.

=they both chuckle a bit=

=gets the data and decides to send it back=

fools i got what i needed

=reveals he managed to obtain the ships schematics

i may not have got any useful data but this will work just fine

Sun- Sir, a new ship has been deteted. ETA 3 minutes.

Voutan- Well then i guess we should greet them.
=he walks over to the console and removes Sun's chip and places it in his helmet. He grabs his MCR and heads outside=

(He shakes)
(He continues to look down)
@Ash
I........I can guaruntee that.
If Zayne had not done what he did.
We would still be here.
You and me together
You Alive.

If you think Zayne caused all of this, then you must think that me meeting Draco on whatever planet that was also brought you two together. I could've shot him on reflex, i didn't. And I'm glad I didn't, otherwise, I'd be even more of a wreck than I am today.

You do not owe your life to Zayne.

=stops looking, walks back into kitchen=

man i'm hungry, hey Sun, are you one of those A.I.'s that can prepare food and stuff, cause' i'm feeling a little lazy today.

~laziness......hell yeah!
- Lapis

=She turns to Dormii=
I don't know what brought you to together on that planet... But I brought Macgraw there... And he almost killed all of us..

=She looks away=
Draco... I don't know what to say... What happened..

=She shudders=
I can't even...

=She sighs=
I'm lost for words...

Voutan- =Comms to Tar= Get your gear and get out here. We have company.

=hears the convo=

domri's right everyone meeting on that planet isn't just a coincidence we met each other for a reason what that reason is who knows

(He stands and goes around the table)
(He hugs Ash)
@Ash
Its okay.
Its okay.

=runs to vout=

What is it?

=Delta's transport lands in the courtyard of the large base. he gets out, intent on killing someone. He sees a spratan near a ship. He commands the transpot to leave and head back to the Azure Comet=

Hey there! Spartan! I'm looking for someone. Can you help me out?

=He knows that this person is smuggling his prisoner, but decides to tease him by playing dumb=

Voutan- I have no idea who you are talking about.

hey, vout what's going on.......

Look, all I'm saying is that if you look at the past and claim that it shaped the future and the present, you have to look at the whole past, not just the bad parts. I'd say religion would help, but I'm not sure. Mostly if you care, but partly if it would help.

=He sees te new spartan emerge from the ship=

Don't bullshit me. I know you are smuggling my prisoner.

Is it? I don't even know any more...

=She pulls away from Draco=
No one knows...

=She looks back at Dormii=
You never told me.. How religion helped you back then..?

=Immer emerges from the compound. She hears the arguement, and begins to walk towards them, rifle in-hand=

Voutan- This man claims that we are harboring a prisoner.

=raises Blunderbuss full of knives slowly=

alright just one move,...no stay calm

vout, who's this?

I suggest you lower those weapons.

(He releases her)
(His gaze returning to the ground)
(He rounds the table again and sits)

i suggest you shut up and tell me who you are.

=i laugh a little and smile= It gave me hope that I am not a monster, simply a tool. I still believe that I am a monster, but I hope that I am simply a tool, used by the gods to achieve things beyond my knowledge. It gives me comfort, small as it is, that there is a chance that I am a good person, that I am not a cold-blooded killer.

=Torres looks around the table wondering how this conversation happend=

I need to start spying on the convos just to be sure that I am not joining a serious converrsation, cuz I didn't come in here for this.

=Torres continues to sip his tea not saying a word=

=Immer comes around a building and continues walking towards the conversation. Voutan raises his gun in the newcomer's face=

Voutan- Give me one good reason.

=yelling=
Tell me your name, goddammit!

That wasn't the answer I was looking for...


=She looks away and sighs=
I'll think I'll leave you to it then... I'm sleeping in the Pelican tonight...

=She looks back at Draco=
I'm leaving in the morning... When the skies are clear...

=She turns to Dormii=
Thanks... For everything you've tried to do for me..

=Delta raises his sniper rifle and fires a shot into the approaching spartan. it strikes her dead in the chest. He looks back to the others=

Or else people get killed.

DAMN YOU!
=fires gun=
DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!

You're welcome. And if you ever wish to know more or have more help, find me. I'm always available.

=As Immer is walking, she feels a sudden impact in her chest. she falls over, her hearing and vision fade and blur. Finally, blackness and silence=

Voutan- NO!
=He draws his sidearm=
You Motherfucker!!!
=He empties the clip into Deltas chest, before drawing his knife=

=Hears a gunshot=
Wait..!?

=She stands up=
Did you guys hear that!?

=Delta falls to the ground by the force of the rounds pounding at his mid section=

=yells to the others=

i just heard shots fired outside

=he bolts outside and sees the fire firefight=

-yelling- what the hell is going on here?

=i stand up= I did. Let's go.

=i put my helmet on and run out of the room. i go and grab my arma before coming back and rejoining the others=

=He gets on top of Delta, with his knife drawn. He remebers a piece of Solun Philosiphy=

My anger gives me my focus.
my passion, my strength.
My Rage gives me my courage
to do whatever it takes.

Voutan- DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Sun- No! Voutan wait!

=Voutan begins stabbing the atatcker violently in the chest, again and agian=

(He stays at the table)
(Unmoving)

=Torres hears the shot but sees all the people that are heading to it and decides not to go and continues eating=

VOUT YOU SHIT, IGNORE HIM!
=runs to Immer=
immer?...Immer?!
goddammit Immer answer.... just answer...please...

=Ash turns to Draco as she puts her helmet on=
Draco come on!

=She loads her magnum=

=Delta lies on the ground, unable to move. He can feel the sharp sting of cold steel as the spartan's blade enters and exits his chest and stomach, over and over, untill the pain subsides. He feels paralized, yet is still concious=
