Chapter 4: Exodus part 3

--They keep trying to find our location. Should I continue jamming location or just give in?--

=i lie back= I guess let them find us. Keep the intrusion secret, as much as you can. If you need help, ask. No, you know what? Take it out. I'm going to go find the others.

--Understood. Still unsure why, but complying--

=i get up and try to go find the others=

=He comms to Epsilon=

Voutan- So, P-Ep-per spray, What are we waiting for? Let's get out of here and see this marvelous space staion!

=He comms back=

We are waiting for an escort. I've called in support from a good freind of mine.

God dammit, man! get here now!

Voutan- Okay. You think you'll be ready for this? I mean, there are what like 4 ships up there?

With what we have coming, we should be able to leave without any problems. That's of course assuming that we would have problems to begin with? Why do you seem so worried that leaving this planet will be so difficult? It is getting to the Obsidian Wolf that will be the hard part.

Voutan- Nothing. It's just that these people don't exactly like not knowing everything about everyone at any given time.
=He lays on his bed and stares at the ceiling=
They're a bit prody if you ask me.

Well, whatever happens, we should be fine. Although i don't think it will come to that.

Voutan- Well if you're so confident in that, im sure we'll be fine.

--The ship appears to be leaving--

=i go back outside=Let them go. Be ready to disable weapons, however. I don't trust them.

=i open comms= Hey, anyone around?

=i set my visor to clear= =to BeP= Quiet. Not now.

--I wasn't going to say anything--

=i embrace Jay= Hey, how's things?

=I lock up the hanger and return to the base, getting behind the sandbags in the main courtyard=

=i take my helmet off= =joking= And what? Miss all this excitement? Besides, I got a new friend to show you.

Ok, ok. =i pick her up= Where to, m'lady? The wonderful Dormii's Room? Or the fabulous Jay's room? Any rumors of them being the same place are outlandish and completely untrue. =i smile=

=me goes into the messhall of the Spiri and grabs a plum=

=I look over to Dormii and Jay=

Will you guys stop your love fest and get ready to fight?!

=Epsilon recieves a Comm from another ship=

[Ship] this is the 808th Cobalt Moon II. We are on the way. ETA 12 hours.

=he gets another comm=

[ship2] This is the 808th Mahogany Star. We have recieved your signal and are in route. ETA 13 hours.

=he gets another comm=

[Ship3] This is the 808th Scarlet Void, on the way. ETA 11 hours.

Wow. The distress of the Azure Comet really draws a crowd

=i ignore Snow while I carry Jay back to our room. i lie her down and put a blanket on her. i go back outside, after i give her a kiss on the head and the hand and put my helmet back on==

=to BeP= Get another intrusion ready. I think we may need it.

=to Snow= So...what do you suggest we do?

=I shrug=

Best bet is to infiltrate it and kill everyone.. What's your plan?

=I get in cover more=

=to Snow= Well, other than kill anyone who tries to kill us, pretty much nothing.

--Intrusion ready and in place. May I make a suggestion?--

=to BeP= Sure. I'm putting you on speakers.

=over armor loudspeaker= --I can call in one of their transports, bring it down for us to use. We use that to get onboard--

Well if your little computer can do that, you can get in.. I will stay here and hold down the fort

=I go to the armoury and retrieve a machine gun and mount it on the Sandbags=

If you see any mines laying around, will you tell me?

--I'm not a computer you ass--

=i cut BeP off= =to Snow= Of course I will. Anything else?

=i transfer him to comms as I go get my arma and a shotgun=

=I point at Dormii's helmet=

Install some manners on that thing

=I go back to the armoury=

Nevermind! Found some!!

=I continue to set up defenses around the perimeter=

If you need me, you know where I am!

=i collect my weapons and head to Zeru=

--that little idiot! I am not just a computer! I am an AI! One of the most valuable things mankind has ever made!--

=to BeP= And some people don't understand that. Just let it go. You can hate him, but don't let be your main focus.

=to Zeru= Yea?

check this out

=a large energy blade come out of my armors elbows as well on my wrists as well as my armor gaining an overshield=

i call it impact mode yours has it as well but with only one blade systems on ur right elbow and wrist so what do u think i made this custom made for my heightened abilities as well as your cqc skills the only problem with it it tires out the user quickly

Sweet. I may not use it.

--yes you will--

=to BeP= No one asked you, BeP. Please be quiet. Please?

--fine--

=to Zeru= As I was saying, I may not use it. But I like.

=deactivates

no problem i intent to and from what i can gather by spying on comms is that there are ships incoming i think and from the sounds of it one of them is the successor to the one i killed so what's the plan

Myself and Pax will open a hatch and bring us a transport. Then, Bellum and I will engage guards, if hostile. After that, either kill them, or talk with them.

--You are nuts, you know that? You are taking on an entire ship full of soldiers, with no help other than myself and Zeru--

Of course I am nuts. Have you seen my armor? As for the other things, that's two more soldiers than I had on the Blizzard's Fury. Before you ask, don't. I'll tell you when I feel like it, understand?

--Understood. You idiot--

=to BeP= Thank you.

=to Zeru= Sound like a plan?

=i opaque my visor= Ok, Pax get ready t-

=I start hearing Nalepa Monday again, but it's stronger. Slower, but stronger. I can tell that this will happen, whether or not I get help and that it will last a long time=
--Get ready to...?--

=to BeP= There is a program that will lock my armor if my eyes dilate too far. If it triggers, do not let anyone take me out of my armor. No one, for any reason. Understand? Not even Zeru or Jay.

--understood. Should I tell them anything if they try?--

Yes, tell them to leave me, that I will only harm them if I get out. I don't want that.

=I jog back into the base, losing control to the Dream. I leave Zeru behind and head to the sparring room. I lock myself in= If anyone tries to get in here, warn them off. I'm not taking any chances. Not even for food and water.

--understood. Is this the part where we say good bye?--

Yea, unfortunately.

=the Dream happens, my visor darkens, my armor locks in a kneeling position, and I lose myself to horror and violence. The Dream happens again and again. I speak as it repeats= No survivors. All die. No survivors. All die. No survivors. All die...




(might be my last post for a few days, have fun)

=I see Dormii collapse after I plant the last mine and put a "MINEN" sign next to it=
=I rush over to him=

Dormii?

=I try to lift him.. no use=

=Ash opens her eyes and watches Draco sleep next to her=
Thank you... For coming back to me..

=She smiles and strokes his hair gently=

(He feels her stroking his hair)
(He lets her)
(He opens his eyes)
(He smiles)
@Ash
Hello

Hey...

=She smiles and looks into his eyes=
How you doing...?

(He kisses her)
@Ash
Wonderful.
When Im around you of course, I always feel wonderful

(He smiles and looks into her eyes)

=She laughs=
Thank you...

=She stops stroking his hair=
You never told me... What happened to Jay..? Did she find anything?

@Ash
Jay is okay.
She has a chip with the location of the nearest ONI ship we can take.
Her stipulation is, we must be prepared.

Hmm...

=She sits up slowly=
Do you really think we should go..? I mean stealing an Oni ship sounds risky...

=She looks down to him=
I don't want to risk you...

(He sits up as well)
@Ash
It is risky.
I dont know.
There isnt anything left for us here.
But, we would be in more danger on our own.
I dont know

I just... Don't want be here any more... All this death, and fighting...

=She turns to Draco=
Its not what I want, but I'm scared.... That it will follow me wherever I go...

(He hugs her)
@Ash
Dont worry.
Dont be scared.

(He kisses her)

Sorry...

=She kisses him and then hug him=
Thank you...

=She looks up into his eye's=
What should we do now...?

(He smiles)
@Ash
Anything you want to do.

=I dig a small barrier around Dormii to protect him=

That should help if we are.. attacked..

I guess we could go explore... Or find the others..

=She laughs and kisses him=
Or.. We could just stay here..?
