Chapter 4: Exodus Part 4

(He stands and walks out of the Pelican)
(He wanders into the base)
(He finds the courtyard, seeing Dormii and Jay)

@Both
Hey

Hey Draco.

I hold out my hand to him with the memory chip inside it.

(Hey walks up to her)
(He takes the chip)
@Jay
Thank you again.

=to Draco=
Hey, what's going on?

Look, you and Ash. You be careful out there yeah? Don't go doing anything silly.

=as he's leading Ash=
I am not entirely sure, to my knowledge she was someone from his past, as spotted as it is, I guess he has a light in it every once in a while, and as you know he's much older than he looks.

(He smiles)
@Jay

When have we ever done anything silly

(He chuckles a little)

(He turns to Dormii)

@Dormii
Well, Gonna go find Ash hopefully

=sees the others standing there talking=

draco if u intend on using the frigate i can always have the trophaeums A.I prep it for you if you wish

I turn to Zeru coldly.

The frigates already prepped. I dont want any part of your AI touching it.

=She follows him trying to keep up on her crutch=
He mentioned... Who is he? How did he get this ship?

=He gets home and looks at his armor hanging from his closet door. He gets a comm. He loads up all his stuff, grabs his armor, and him and Bojangles head out on the Spirit=

(probably my last post for a while)

when are we leaving?

=I turn around and with the force of my back I break down the door=

_{Ehh.. not my best idea.}

=I get up and look both ways down the hallway=

(Zeru i cant help it. Im falling so hard for you)

Dr. Nikolaus Oehlberg is one of the nicest Humans I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Though his experiments may be questionable . He is a good man at heart. As for the ship, he needed one, or two actually, and they were provided.

=She winces at the Elite towering over her=
Provided? What's your stake in him? And what do you mean ''Experiments''?

(He turns to Zeru)
(coldly)
@Zeru
Leave us

(He turns back to Jay and Dormii)
@Both
We shall meet up again.
I am sure of it

(He leaves the courtyard back to the Pelican)

whatever, u hungry domri?

=activests the control bays of the trophaeum releasing the frigate from the hold and has the trophaeum move to a new position=

=still sitting in court yard=

I can't wait... I'm finally leaving...



~reload, hold on, the Aim is in your head now.

-And One

I turn to Zeru.

GO away. Your not wanted here.

=I sneak down the hallway, looking for life=

(He gets back to the Pelican)
(He sits down and comms Ash)
(Comms)
@Ash

Ash, you there.
I need your coords.
Jay gave me the information.

=I shake my head to try and clear my thoughts= Sorry, still trying to figure out what's going on. Ignore me.

=realization sets in= Draco and Ash are going somewhere? And are we still going on about what happened to Grace?

=Out of the cloudy sky comes an ODST pod. it flies down to the planet below at staggering speeds, and smashes into the ground. The person inside is knocked unconcious. The pod slides down a dirt cliff gradually into a massivly long crater. It lands with its door face-down. It is pitch black inside, exept for the faint glow of data scrolling across the Spartan's visor inside. The spartan awakens and tries to escape the pod, but to no avail. He continues to do this untill he tires out and eventuslly passes out from his wounds=

=i receive glares from both Jay and Zeru= Sorry.

=i stay quiet=

I hold my hand over Dormii's mouth

Shush.

I take his hand and pull him slightly

Come on, lets get somewhere quiet

=i allow myself to be pulled along= Wherever you think quiet is, ma'am. =i grin, shuttibg away all that i just did=

Quiet is wherever there is no noise. I don't much care where to be honest. I just don't want noise.

=i start walking next to her, her hand in mine and vice versa= And what, if I may ask, is considered noise?

Oh shut up.

I pull him further into the base and begin to turn into my new room.

Oh for the love of...

The SOEIV Drop Pod i came down in has smashed through one of the walls and is sat half in the room. I sigh

Looks like we need yet another new room.

There's one next door, I think. Will that work?

No, it has to be right.

I begin looking through the rooms until i find one that i like.

This'll do i guess.

=i enter the room with her= So, what do you want to do, now that we have some peace and quiet?

(He sighs)

alone again
not good
not ever good

(He stands)

Ill leave in the morning
I hope she got that

(He walks off to the base)
(He finds himself in his and Ash's room)
(He lays down)
(Staring at the ceiling)
(He sighs again)
(He places his helmet on, music playing)

Enjoy it surprisingly. I did just infiltrate an ONI ship, download a ton of data, get shot at, almost get captured, escape in a risky SOEIV Drop Pod and lose my Sabre.

I flop down onto the bed

I'm not exactly feeling energetic right now.

=i take my armor off and put the weapons down in the far corner=

=I sit down next to her= I'd compare scars, but I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Meh. I need to re-seal that hole in my armour. I need it being vaccumn-proof again.

I take off my armour and place it in a neat pile

Need any help? I could use something to do.

Don't think about what happened. Madness is best left forgotten, lest it come back, remember?

No. I think i'll get work on it later. Get it patched up by an expert. Maybe i can get a shield modification on it aswell.

I bite my lip as i think about it

And we happen to know an expert on MJOLNIR armor? Based on the courtyard, I think Zeru is off the list.

I know someone who could help.

(He begins to chant)
(He thinks of the shrine again)
(The Village)
(The People)
(He goes over those years)

Why can I not recall.
Why.

(He remembers a woman)
(A former soldier)

Something about mechanical spheres.
Wanting to contain something

(He sighs)

Oh? Care to share with the rest of the class? =i raise an eyebrow, waiting=

No, i don't actually.

=I get down a corridor and find a room with my armour and weapons in it=

I am the luckiest SOB alive

=I begin to rearm, careful of my war wounds=

Oh, ok. No problem.

=i stay quiet=

Ey! You finally got the hang of the silence thing

=i wave my eyebrows at her with a smile on my face, run my hand across my lips in a sealed gesture, and stay quiet=
