@Tar

@Tar
Im sorry.

(He leaves in search)

Wait! =shouts=

is anyone else taking the transports?

David nodded. "Not at all. Eridanus II, actually."

(He turns back)
@Tar
Yes
For a fact I know Zeru is.
The others not so sure

(He turns back around and continues to search)

Do you know where i can find Zeru!?

=Her faces brightens=
Eridanus II? Really? Wow... Its been awhile...

=She tucks her hair behind her ear=
It was a nice place... I... Was there.. When it happened...

=She smiles sympathetically=
Sorry....

(he waves behind him)
@Tar
Courtyard most likely

Thanks!

=heads out to coartyard=

He nodded, forcing a smirk, "Not your fault. Beautiful place, really. Wasn't there when it happened."

It was... I didn't get to see a lot of it till after the attacks..

=She gently touches the scar on her face=
I was only nineteen... Everything was different back then...

He chuckled, "I know what you mean. Everything's different now. Used to be so much more peaceful."

=She laughs=
I wouldn't of used the word peaceful...

=She takes her hand off her scar=
Where were you when it happened..?

He looked down, then back up almost instantly, "Working, for ONI. Family had no idea, though. As far as they were concerned, I was dead."

Parents..?

=Her smile slowly fades=
Same... I guess... I don't even know if their still alive...

=we start pulling into the UU=

He nodded silently, looking around for Nikolaus, just to know where he was.

=She looks into David's eyes, and talks slowly=
Are... Yours?

=She shakes her head and stands up using her crutch=
Never mind... Lets just hope we can get out of here... Starting to feel a little cramped..

=I feel as if all the blood has left my body=
=I cannot move=

I just lay here.. and die.. die a cowards death.

He shook his head slowly, "I...saw the reports." With that, David cleared his throat, "Need help?"

=I climb out of the Cockpit followed by the Elite Pilot=

well, we're here.

=the side doors of the phantom open, the elite picks up Snows near lifeless body=

Pilot- Voi lua acest lucru la centrul medical.

=He leaves the ship with Snow over his shoulder=

=walks around the courtyard=

Zeru?

=She shakes her head=
Thanks but I'm okay...

=She takes a step forward=
You ready to get off this ship..?

He chuckles, "The Sanghieli has him. Now, let's get off this damned thing." He slowly walks so as to keep pace up with Ash onto the UU.

=I try to look at Ash as the monster carries me out.. but my body prevents me=

=I begin to tear up and close my eyes, waiting for certain death=

=She walks off trying to keep up with David=
This ship is huge... Where did Nikolaus..?

go?

=I walk up behind them=

I'm right here. these elites = I gesture to a two elites behind me= willl show you to your quarters, i need to get to the med bay to operate on Snow, we'll talk later in the mess hall okay?

David nodded, stopping and waiting for Ashlie, letting the Elites go in front of them.

(He stops in a hallway)
(He sighs and sits down against the wall)

=She nods, watching the elites pass=
Wait..? Can you tell me where I can find that information..?

=as i'm walking away=

I'll send it to your room!

=I start jogging to the med-bay=

=She sighs and mutters under her breath=
But..? I wanted to talk to you..?

=She turns to David=
Where are you going..?

=i keep looking, not stopping. i start losing focus, my footsteps get louder as i forget to set them down gently. my eyes glaze over and my hearing seems to dull. i complete a pass of the compound, and start again=

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

(He puts his helmet on)
(He begins to hear Landing in London)

Thanks Andrea.

*Heat Source Detected rounding the corner*

Okay

(He continues to sit, listening, thinking)

=i keep going, not really registering my surrounding=

Open scars heal the blind
Burns remind what has been done
Screams mark the damned

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

*The heat source is coming closer to your area*

Thank you Andrea

(The song continues to play)

=i keep walking, keep repeating the poem. i hardly see now, simply knowing where to go=

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

(He looks up as the song ends)
(He sees Dormii)
(He sighs)
(He stands)
@Dormii
Dormii, whats up.

=i don't register Draco talking. i keep walking=

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

(He tilts his head as Dormii walks past him)
@Dormii
Fine then.
Ignore me.

(He runs in front of him and blocks his path)

=i walk into him, but i don't stop. i don't even register that i ran into anything. i keep walking, pushing him along=

Blood for my blindness
Burns for their pain
Screams for us damned

=i start feeling the Dream of Evil come back, Nalepa Monday playing in my ears. my eyes dilate, but i don't care. i have to keep looking for Jay=

wonder what all's going to happen next?

=starts walking around=

(He sighs)
(He grabs Dormii by the arms)
(stopping him)
@Dormii
Dont fall into it
Dont let yourself

David shrugs, "No idea. I need to train, these injuries are gonna make me soft." He chuckles.

=She nods=
Well I guess I'll see you around... I could use some sleep

=She looks at the Elites=
I'm ready..?

=i fall further and further in, not caring. i keep trying to walk. i try and pull my arm free of whatever it is that is holding it=

Open scars heal the blind
Burns remind what has been done
Screams mark the damned

Open scars heal the blind
Burns remind what has been done
Screams mark the damned

=i start seeing the ashes, the fires, the people. i start hearing the screams=

=one of the elites takes Ash down one of the hallways while the other waits for David=

(He continues to hold Dormii by the arms)
@Dormii
Snap out of it

=the Dream becomes clearer, more in focus. a tear falls down as i see the woman. i speak=

No survivors. All die.

=i try to walk forward again=
