Chapter 4: Exodus part 3

Woh, woh, woh... I never said I was going...

=She points to her prosthetic leg=
I can walk on this think, but what if we get into a fight?!

syaa: simple i'll guard u any other questions

=turns to Ash=
=scratches back of head= That's a good point...
We should probably plan this out more.

Really...? I hardly know you Syaa? Tar-tun is right...

=She sighs=
And I'm not leaving without saying goodbye to Draco...

me where the hell did voutan go turn my back for one minute and he vanishes

saa: u don' need to and bring him with then

Voutan? How the hell do you know Voutan?

Yes! i'm right! It's not always the best idea do jump head first Syaa, we need a better plan, and supplies...

Well we've got plenty of weapons... Not sure about ammo...

=She leans against the wall behind her, and shakes her head=
We have no idea of the layout of this place... Why the hell did he get on it in the first place?!

Well, I know some of the layout, i know where the armory is...

syaa: no clue he said something about making allies or something and the ship he is on is pretty much a massive city

Well if that's the case won't he be back soon?

=She brushes her hair behind her ear=
Are you sure he's in trouble?

*ha!* Who knows how long he'll be gone, and trust me he'll manage.

=Voutan walks in and sees Epsilon=
Voutan- Hey Eps. This is a freind of mine. He stowed himself on the Comet just before we jumped.

syaa: accorind to this message he tried tp send to the trophaeum something else picked it up and is tracking him

me: can u get them to lower their weapons please V

So..? Why would that imply he's in danger?

=She glances at Tar-tun=
What do you think..?

knowing him, He's probably fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went on a rampage again.
=face turns stern with seriousness=

They lower their weapons and allow the two Spartans inside the base. they go into a meeting room and sit at a large table. Epsilon Comms Alpha to come in=

from the data i found on the oni database that ship has the person who made zeru into a spartan on board now imagine what would happen if they met it wouldn't be pretty

me=follows them into the base=

Why don't we try to contact the ship...? See if Zeru's all right? Sounds better than charging in...

=She smiles=
Didn't Halsey make him a Spartan..?

@Ash, Halsey? who or what is that?
=tilts head=

syaa: go ahead we'll need to head to the trophaeum though and no zeru was how do i say it a secret project pretty much only select few even knew couldn't access anything else before i got kicked from the server

@Syaa, ................WHAT?

If that's what you want...

=She turns to Tar-tun=
I guess you've noticed we aren't regular soldiers, ever heard of ''Spartans''?

yeah...

=He stops at the door=

Before we go in, you'll need to remove your weapons and armor. Safety protocol.

What about the spartans?

Well your looking at them..

=She smiles=
Halsey was the mother of the program... She started it all, without her we wouldn't be the people we are today...

=Anger fills her eyes=
I don't think that's a good thing though...

me:no problem =jettisons his amor making it compact =

there we go i can never figure out why my skin is still tan like after being in that armor for ages oh well

=Voutan hands over his pistol and daggers, but conceals his sword. He does not let the guards know about his Herac silk clothing either=

=They go into the room and sit down. Alpha walks into the room and sits in a chair across from the Spartans=

[Alpha] (to Zeru) So. I hear you are the Spartan so intent on taking down the 808th.
(To Voutan) And you. You must be the Spartan who fought alongside Delta to get the Azure Comet back up to running condition.
(To both) Tell me. What are you doing here together?

My Armor was supposed to replace the current standard model for Spartans, but I was lost to the program and well, i'll need to eventually report it's progress, which actually is going well.

Interesting... Seems like their trying to make it as cheap as possible now...

=Her eyes sink into darkness=
I guess kidnapping children got to expensive, how can they even judge a child like that...?

=She shakes her head slowly=

=grins= i'm doing what most people do during war looking for allies

=Tar's eyes flash colour=
kidnapping, and cheap armor, huh? Seems like they're just buying people's graves to me.

=She sighs and looks away=
You don't understand... All we are and ever have been is weapons

=She steps away and begins walking down the hall=
I've got to get out of here...

[Alpha] So. You come all the way to the Obsidian Wolf, seeking an audiance with me, to ask me for help. Tell me, dear Spartan. Why should the 808th help you?

wait Ash! what did i say?
=walks after her=
I am a weapon, that's what i've been told by other people, I don't like as much as you do.

Voutan- If i may. We are seeking an alliance with the 808th in order to destroy the UNSC. And it isnt just us two. I come from a planet who's military is just itching for an opprotunity to strike against the UNSC. And my freind here has a bunch of Spartans who im sure would be willing to do the same.

=laughs=

we don't want to destroy them we just want to get them to leave us be and let us live the way we want

David walks up from a different part of the base, through the mess hall to grab a muffin, leaning on the wall on his good shoulder, nodding before taking off his helmet and taking a bite of the muffin.

He notices Ash and someone else moving, following behind.

=She stops and turns back to him=
No one likes war... You just don't understand, all the time you see other soldiers talking about Spartans... All the great things they've done..

=She clenches her fist=
But they have no idea... They don't know what happens...

=He looks at Zeru=
Voutan- Speak for yourself. I Want them absolutley obliterated.

=His soul becomes dark and a voice speaks to him inside his head=

Voice- You want them Destoryed. Every Man Woman and Child, don't you?

Voutan- Yes. Who are you?

Voice- I am the voice of you're soul. You may call me Xazhi Narok.

Voutan- Are you here to help me?

Xazhi- Yes. i am here to help you on the path you have chosen for yourself. A long road lies ahead of you, but i will help you along it.

Voutan- Thank you, Xazhi.

[Alpha] Well then. It looks like we have a deal.

great!? are you kidding me, there's nothing great about them!
=shouting a little=
think i enjoyed being one?!
... bad choice of words...
=places palm of hand on face=

David walks next to Tar-Tun, nursing his shoulder, "You have no idea what the UNSC is capable of when they have an alibi, and ONI's even worse."

What is your problem!?

=She turns around and continues walking=
Typical attitude! Think they know everything!

=She punches the wall=
If idiots like him only knew!

=jumps a little=
woah, who are you!? caught me off guard!

Idiot?! what the hell are you talking about!? you- you ignorant Turd! What do you think ive been through huh?
