Chapter 4: Exodus part 3

=She laughs=
I also lost one of her pillows...

=She smiles and kisses Draco=
Night Draco... And if he comes in again... You can shoot him

(He smiles and kisses her)
@Ash
Goodnight Ash
I love you.

(He sleeps)

Voutan- Well guys, it looks like there isnt shit here that can help us. Let's head back.

=The squad heads back out of the base, over the wall, and back into the jungle. they begin their long trek back to the ship=

=He gets a comm form Voutan. he activates the SSGL, and brings them back up into the ship before locking th ship back up=

=Voutan invites the squad back t his ship for a few drinks (Non-alchoholic). They head into the spirit and begin hanging out in the Rec Room=

David tries the comms again, "Anyone out there? Looks like an effing ghost-town from here. Moreso than it already was." Just in case, he draws his Five-Seven, tucking it into his holster rather than his rucksack. He wasn't physically ready per-se for a firefight, but would if need be.

=He comms to voutan=

Are you ready to leave this godforesaken place?

=The Azure Comet lights up and comes alive as it prepares to leave the planet=

=He comms back=
Voutan- Ready when you are, Ebola.

Alright. The ship is starting up now.

=The ship roars as the main engines fire up, and nearly lights up the ground below=

=I hear the explosions, I head into cover and unsling my DMR=
=The foot steps get closer and I pop into cover and wait for them to get closer=
=I pop back out of cover to point the gun at a figure=

ID yourself!

=the Dream starts pushing me closer to insanity, making me kill the one I love over and over again. I somehow trigger a Banshee Scream, although I hardly register it=






(I'm sorry quill, draco, but I couldn't help but laugh at that situation. I tried not to, but I couldn't help it. Well, see you all Sunday at the earliest. DON'T wait for me. I trust you guys to treat Dormii well)

=The ship comes out of lockdown and prepares to make the jump=

=hears the ship starting up so he quickly rushes to grab a fighter and finds a small opening and slips inside it=

=The ships pull away from the planet. when they are sufficiently disatnt, they make the slipspace jump to the Obsidian Wolf=

We are returning to the black city. My home. Finally...

=just as the AC makes the jump he sends a message to the trophaeum to be relayed to the others detail what he is doing but unkown to him it is sent to the Umbrae Umbrorum instead=

-thinking it got set to the right place- i hope they get the message, i better find a place to hide

=receiving the message from zeru=

Elite 1- Captain, a message from the planet, from one of the demons

Doctor Nikolaus- send it to my private quarters.

Elite 1- Yes, Ship-captain.

=the doctor goes to his private quarters and opens the message.=

Sophia, track the message, I want to know where on the planet it came from, and from whom it was sent.

Sophia- sure thing Nik.

=Sophia begins tracking the signal=

=the Ship relocates itself, following the signal as it moves, I watch the screen in front of me as scans show the location of an old facility, and small blip on the screen shewed the location of the Spartan who sent the message. My interest is piqued, and I begin watching the screen more closely=

I must be seeing things...

=I go back into a makeshift pillbox made out of sandbags=
=Then I get a machine gun pointing out into the minefield=

.................hey Tar-Tun.......

Lapis?

.........*hehe*....how'd you know?

I know your voice.

..........When will you come to stay with me?...........I miss you Tar.....

how do i see you? your dead.

...........just let go............

but the others........

........but what about me?......

..................

............good bye Tar.

=Ash wakes up slowly, her heart beating fast from her nightmare=
Dam... Just another dream...

=She looks over at Draco=
How long have we been asleep...?

=She reaches for her head=
Ugh... Another headache... I need some air...

=She gets up and begins to get ready=

...............I can see?
=flies up into a sitting up position=

Med bay? Damn, what did i do this time?

=gets up=

...hungry... ouch!
=falls back onto bed=

my heart hurts? ... stress related probably...
=tries to get up once more=

...there's my armor.
= slips armor on=

i should probably go see if i can get something to eat...
=walks out to mess hall=

=Ash slips her armour on and leaves the room=
I need to clear my head... Its pounding...

=She heads outside=
I can't believed that happened...

=She reaches the exit, and looks up at the sky=
Great... Another storm, just what we need...

=She rolls her eyes and heads to the beach=

...........i wonder how Ash is? she must horrified how i just blacked out like that...
*sigh* I have been having the worst luck today haven't I!? My god!
=slams head on table=
why can't this all just end?

=She reaches the beach and sits down on the dark sand=
Its such a cold day....

=She looks out onto the water, white mist slipping from her breath=
Why can't we every just be alone..?

=She sighs=
Why the hell are Vouton and his ship come here..?! What about Tar-tun...? Did he go with them?

=She watches the sun rise slowly=
So peaceful.....

*grrrrrrrrrrrr*
hungry....
*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
shit-that's-not-hunger!
bathroom... crap i never found out where the bathrooms were! That's like, step 2 on things you ask when you end up somewhere new! ............ woods...no, gross...
=pacing up and down halls=
where is everyone!?

=She stands up=
I better go check on the others...

=She stands up and heads back to the base=

=now running=
must...find...bathroom....
pull yourself together!
=stops running=
you've found armories and prototype testing rooms, before Tar-Tun, you can find a bathroom...
*grrrrrrrrrrrr*
oh, boy.

=Ash heads for the messhall=
I hope someone's around...

=She enters and sits down an a nearby table=
I guess I will just wait here.... See if someone turns up..

=The 4 ships come out of slipspace, and the Black City comes into full view. It dwarfs the Azure Comet. The 3,000 mile-long artificial planet lights up the void around it. The Azure Comet pulls into one of it's many docking stations. They unload the ship, and some of the crew stay behind as workers from the OW come in and do all the necessary repairs, as well as the upgrades requested by Epsilon=

=realizes they've docked with the OW so he tries and find their currenet location=

lets see where are we at?

=She smiles and waves back to Jay=
Hey.... Hows things..?.

=She stands up and walks closer to Jay=
Sorry about what... Ugh... ''Happened''..

I look at her confused

Wh...What do y...you mean?

Ugh well... Me and Draco were in your room....

=Her eyes dart across the room=
We were... Talking...

=She blushes=
Then.... We...

=She sighs=
Okay... Well... Your room got partially blown up...

=He leaves the Solun Spirit and begins to explore the obsenely huge Obsidian Wolf. He heads into a nearby district where he begins to look around and do things. He comes to a shop that happends to sell Revaerian goods. He goes in and buys himself a few bags of Bullus's, Peilums, and Spinuns. He goes back to the Spirit and drops off his armor. He packs a backpack full of things he may need, including some food, clothes, and his sword. He takes his tunic and clothes made of pure Herac silk that he got from his father the last time he was home. He heads back into town and finds a nice Inn where he sets up a temarary home=

=decides to make his move and starts walking through the crowd on the OW=

nice place lets see maybe there is a directory around here somewhere

=He leaves the Inn and decides to explore the town a bit. Wandering about, he bumps into a farmiliar person=

Voutan- Zeru? Zeru! You old bastard! How did you get here? How ya doin you crazy son of a bitch? You must have stowed away on the Comet before we jumped, didnt you?

=He laughs and smiles, happy to see a farmilliar face in such a strange new world=

I laugh a little. Well a lot.

You ha....had... in my roo...room and ble....blew the roo..room up?

Voutan- Silk like material? Lemme see that.
=He inspects the material=
Oh. This must be Greinyen wool. You had me going for a second. i thought you had some Herac silk. They often get mixed up, but you can tell them apart by their wehgt and texture. Herac silk is much lighter and smoother.
=He smiles=
Do you even have any Revaerian money? I doubt that they would take Earthain credits.

=He laughs=
Voutan- Well "One of everything" would probably cost you the base itself.
=he laughs again=
Have you ever seen Herac silk before? Its so hard to get that it costs about as much a small ship. I looked around. Unfortunately, they dont sell it here. Thats not really a huge surprise though. Srevaera isnt a big exporter, especially of things like that. It's a wonder that there even is a revaerian store here.

Voutan- Well i can comm Epsilon and see if he knows anthing about the higher-ups.
=He comms Epsilon=
Hey Eps. I need to know if there is like a main building or something like that? Or possibly somehwere we can speak to someone in charge?

=He comms back=

Actually no. The OW, as well as all nations of the Relan, actually have no gevernment. Everything is decided by the people, and the closest thing to a government is the Military, the 808th. I Guess you could head to the military base in Holok town. Ill upload a map to your HUD.

=He sends a map to voutan=

Voutan- Thanks Epileppsy.
=He turns to Zeru. He explains the "Government" Situation=
Well it looks like we're headed to the town called Holok on the 15th level. Thats about 5 miles from here. Let's get going.

after u then =follows voutan=

=They continue walking untill they reach the military base=
Voutan- Im guessing this is it.

Well.... We didn't blow it up... It was Voutan...

=She sighs=
He just barged in on us when... Ugh... Never mind, sorry about the room though...

I shrug

Not th....The firs....first time a....and it wo...wo....will not be t...the last.
