Chapter 4: Exodus part 3

[Alpha] Very well. You may use the Communications from the base here.
=She leaves the room. Epsilon leads them back out of the room, where they get their things back. He eads them to the Comms room=

=She ignores his last comment=
What the hell?! Do you think that I've never lost anyone!? I was the only one there with you when Immer passed!

=She punches the wall again, a tear ran down her face=
Were you kidnapped when you were only six?! Were you taking to a strange planet million of light years away from your home?!

=She points at him=
Don't you talk to me about loss! Were the ones that have to carry on no matter what!? Have you ever seen a planet be glassed while your on it?!

=She wipes the tears from her eyes=
Don't cry... Come on... What are you doing!?

What's the point.....?

=She walks off=
They still don't understand...

=walks toward her but with caution=
your right i won't understand, never will i know what you've gone through, but that doesn't change who anyone is...
=his eyes flash=
anger is fuel for suffering, it's hard to let things pass... please forgive me if i'v hurt you...

=sends a communication to the trophaeum which is relayed to the other's comms=


-to epsilon- i take it your well aware of the battlle of korino sekai so tell me even though i killed several of your XNNO allies do u bear a grudge?

David sighed, "You need to learn the full-story before you call people ignorant turds."

I do not bear a grudge against you. I have come to realize that-

=A gueard rushes in=

[Guard] Sir! 10 Ships inbound on the Wolf! UNSC!

[Epsilon] God dammit! You two! Get ready for a battle! I have to prepare the Comet. Meet me there when you're ready.

=She walks away from him heading back to her room=
I don't want to talk to you! Leave me alone!

Voutan- Yes! Zeru! Come with me to the Spirit. I have some things you may find useful.
=He heads off towards the Comet=

understood

=he puts on his armor and gets on top of the building and starts running across to the docking bay=

epislon this is zeru the trophaeum should be around out there somwhere can u have it dock somwhere close

=blank expression=
tch, women.....
=puts hand on side of mouth and shouts=
OH YEAH!? WELL.... FUCK YOU!
=walks back=

=Ash shouts at the door=
I told you to leave me alone!

=She sighs to herself, she spots Draco still asleep on the bed=

I open the door regardless and step through. give her an embarrassed wave

Um....Hi.

=hitting self in the head=
stupidstupidstupid!!!
What is wrong with me?!

Jay....

=Her tone becomes very quite small tears still on her face=
Can you believe that ahole? Did you hear what he said!?

=She runs her hands though her hair=
After all I did for him!?

I step close and offer my arms out to her

Don't le...let it ge....get to you As....Ash. He does....does....cannot unde.....unde....comprehend ou...our lives.

..............I'm such an asshole...

I need to apologize, but later, let her unwind, then i can...
=thinks to self=
.................................. waiting sucks.

David sighs, walking over to Tar-Tun and pulling him away from the wall, "Snap out of it. You need to think before you talk, there's nothing wrong with you."

=looks at David=
Damn strait there ain't, who are you anyways?

=They enter the Comet's hanger and head up into the Spirit=

Voutan- I have a few weapons i think you may find useful.
=He hands him 4 Tordaggers=
These are the poisonus daggers i told you about. Dont touch them with your bare skind, believe me, you will die horribly.
=He grabs his armor and his MCR=
Let's go.

Do you even know what I did for that sonofa...

=Ash stops herself and stands up=
Screw this I need some air...

I look at her and smile

Ho...How about th...that walk we we....were going to go on?

.......................... think

David smirks, "Marine? My name's David."

Why would I bother with that... I just want to be alone...

=She looks up at Jay=
But thanks...

I hold my hands up.

Jus...Just a sugg...sugg..idea.

I turn and go to leave

Well please to meet you david! i'm Tar-Tun!

=Epsilong recieves a comm, which he relays to Voutan and Zeru=

Guys i have news. It was a false alarm. We do these drills every now and again. Stand down, nothing is happening.

=Ash watches Jay head for the door=
I don't want her to leave like that...

=She sighs to herself, and grabs Jay by the arm=
Wait... I was only going back to our Pelican... Its quite out there, far enough away from the base to be out the way...

=She smiles=
You can come if you want..?

I smile at her

Ash it....its more about wh...whether you wan...want me to be there. If you wa...want time alo..alone then i und...understand.

Voutan- Son of a... Alright, thanks for letting us know, Eps.

=She nods=
I'm sorry... But I do want to be alone...

=She hugs Jay briefly=
Thanks... For understanding...

=She stands away from her=

.....................this is all my fault...............should have stayed in prison................

Don't be so....sorry for bei....being human.

I smile and touch her arm with my hand.

IF you wan...want to talk...I'll be in...in my room.

-to voutan- mind if i take a sample of this stuff to try and make an antidote incase your not around?

"I'll be right back." David walks past Tar-Tun to Ash's room, noticing Jay. He cautiously waits in the hallway, a fair distance away from her.

Thanks Jay...

=Ash looks back at Draco lying on the bed=
I can't believe he slept though that...

=She grabs her helmet and puts it on=
See you later Jay...

=She smiles and walks out of the room towards the exit=

=sees Ash=
just let her be
................i'm sorry!
dammit! why'd you talk?!

Voutan- Well actually...
=He unscrews the bottom of the handle on one, revealing a small vial=
I Put a small sample of the antidote in each one. However, large enough doses of the antidote can itself be toxic.

=She ignores him and walks straight pass him=
He thinks he can just say sorry after all that?! What a....

=She sighs, as she reaches the exit and walks outside=
Why would he even say that....?

=She shakes her head=
I don't want to think about it

David notices Ash leaving and follows her, walking next to her, "Hey Ash...You alright?"

He looks over at Tar-Tun for a second before looking back to Ash.

mind if i borrow that then?

=looks out= i wonder if it really was a drill

''Alright''?

=She stops walking and turns to him, her face hidden behind her visor=
Last time I saw you I had both my legs... So yeah I'm just doing great...

=She walks off to her Pelican=
What did he expect me to be like..?

=looks at Jay= damn she's scares me...

god, ash must hate me even more now.................... I need help.

~What a storm,
What a Divine wind
say one last prayer,
our journey begins
give me your hand,
and look forward to the ascension
Soon you'll see how hot the sun really is!
I am the Pilot,
on this Wafer thin sheet (of clouds)
Between life and death!

-Himmelfarht by Megaherz

=Ash reaches her Pelican and climbs inside=
Finally... I can have some peace and quite..

=She took of her helmet and lies it beside her, she closes her eyes and drifted off into her own thoughts=

I'm so tired...where do i sleep?
=getting drowsy=
i'll just sleep here.
=falls asleep in the middle of the hallway=

David sighs, walking back. He knew trying to apologize now was futile. so he didn't even try. He decided to walk around the base.
