Chapter 4: Exodus Part 4

=she looks at the talkative one, still not undertsanding what it is saying. It looks different from her, as does the other one, but she cant quite tell why. she tries to communicate her want to go outside=

draco, i don't think she speaks our language...

=She looks back to David=
Its really tiring using this thing...

=She looks down at her crutch=
Could you just lead the way... Or help me out..?

=She laughs awkwardly=

(He looks to Tar)
@Tar
Well, this is going to be difficult

(He notices her trying to communicate)

Well she is trying at least
Hmm, cmon lets go outside.

(He helps her to the door of the medbay)

Got somethin I need to do.

(They head outside)

=looks at the spartan=

i wonder what's wrong with her?

=She looks around outside. She takes off her helmet again and tries to breath the air. Bad idea. She starts coughing and puts her helmet back on. It quickly refills with gas=

David chuckled, "You saying you want me to carry you?"

(He looks at her as she coughs and puts the helmet back on)
Strange.

(He takes off his helmet)

=She shakes her head=
No... Just help me...

=She sighs to her self embarrassed=
I'm not helping my self here...

=I remember what I am doing, and walk outside. I see Draco and Tar-Tun with a new person. I wave but keep walking. I head out towards the bunker where Zayne and I fought=

(He sees and waves at Dormii)
(He begins to think)

Sign Language?
Could that work?

=I see the base just a quarter mile away=

Finally

=I try to adjust my helmet and the Phantom goes out of control and tumbles, crashing in the same field I crashed before=

(He sighs)

I wonder

(He begins to sign)

Do you know sign language, miss?

=I crawl out of the Phantom=

Bummer..

=I begin to walk toward base, pain returning to my chest=

=I inject more morphine and holster my pistol=

That should hold me off for a while.

=She goes to her tacpad and makes sure the chemical balance is correct in the gas for her to breath. NaCI2OH. Perfect atmoshpere. She remembers as far back as she can, the planet she came here from. There are huge gaps in her memory, and past a cerian point, nothing. She wonders where she came from, or even what she is. She hears the other creature ask something in an almost farmilliar way. She looks at him quizically=

=I get to the Armoury in the base, getting my beloved DMR back=

Thank you..

=I begin to search the base for anyone=

=i find the bunker and go inside, heading to the reactor room that I found. i leave three steel boxes under the door to prevent it from closing. i go into the reactor room and continue working on the mural i made=

=i add more detail to each person. i add more smile to Jay's face, making the edges softer. i give her wings, just barely visible behind her, and a faint halo. i increase the passion in Draco's face as he looks at Ash, and do the same for her=

=i go on for each person, adding and perfecting the picture. Marcus, Snow, Ryan, Torres, everyone. i notice that my picture, a relatively small person in the back of the group, has almost no detail on him at all. i quickly fix this=

=i add tears to myself, both in the liquid and the invisible mental stress. i add blood to his hands and his armor. i add in dark hands reaching from nothingness to rend and tear at him. i add chains to his arms, reaching back into the past. Despite all this, his eyes i give determination, fire, passion. i step back and look at the mural=

Not bad. It's a shame almost nobody will see it.

=i add one final touch before leaving: i write a short biography for each person, under their respective picture. Under mine I leave but one thing, my name. i head out and walk back to the base=

=I sit behind the concealed sandbags and check my medical bag=

Bastard took some of my stuff, eh?

=I head to the Triage center to rearm my arsenal of medicine=

=Nikolaus hanged over the computer screens watching Snow=
Interesting... He made a faster recovery then I had thought... Still, seems a little simple minded

=He sighed to him self and ordered another Elite to watch out for him=
I must return to my work

=Ash sighs and shakes her head at David=
Never mind... I didn't mean to bother you

=She looks down a hallway, her eyes scanning for the hanger bay=
I'll catch up with you later... I have to meet up with Draco...

=She begins walking without looking back on the others=
This looks like the right way...

=She heads off and explores the Base. She finds a prison-like facility and goes into one of the cells. She starts making sure that it is completely airtight. After she does this, she uses her armor to fill the air in the room with a toxic gas the same as the one she now breaths, before taking off her armor and placing it on a bed=

=I see an unfamiliar figure go into the stockade=

Hello?

=The figure locks itself into the stockade and I knock on the door=

Identify yourself!

=hears yelling goes to find the source and sees snow=

what are u yelling about

=I look at Zeru=

Don't worry about it.

=I continue on knocking at the door=

=grabs anog drags him away from the door=

those doors aren't very strong if u keep that up whatevers behind them is gonna come out and get u killed can't u smell the toxic air in there. stay here i'll take care of it

=goes to the door=

this is zeru ishtar who are you and what are u doing here

=looks around=

Uhh, where did the new spartan go?

=I walk up to Zeru=

Why don't you stop busting my balls here!

=I throw him away=

Get out here, now!

=pcks him up and tosses him outside=

don't think about it odst

=hears two people fighting=

=runs to them=

hey snow what's goin' on?

Boy, I have been killing things since you were a child!

YO, snow what's going on!? and you to zeru!

=She faintly hears banging and yelling behind the door. She wonders what they are saying. She lays on a bed on the other side of the room from her armor=

=I turn to Tar=

This son of a bitch won't leave me alone.

=I turn back to Zeru=

=tries again=

this is zeru ishtar who are you and what are you doing here

=She opens up her backpack and takes out some clothes she had and puts them on. She continues listening to the faint yelling=

Both of you stop,
1. Snow, if there's gas, I'd rather not die leave the door alone.
2. zeru why is snow tryin' to get in?

You tell me not to ask who is in there, yet you do it anyway?

=I back up a step=

Smooth move, dumbass.

Leave the door alone!

=pushes zeru to the side and stands in front of the door=

Explain...

=She lays back down in the bed and thinks about what they could possibly be trying to communicate on the other side of the door=

to snow- it's called a bluff

to tar-just stand back[/u]

=I frown under my helmet and think about reaching for my DMR=

She doesn't understand speech... just let things play out... and she does't breath what we do so, yeah, cut it out!

In my opinion, if it doesn't breath air, it needs to die.

=I cock my DMR=

Don't start Snow! She obviously doesn't remember much!

uses his comms this is zeru ishtar who are you and what are u doing here

-to anog be ready when i say go i want u and me to rush in

All right! Did you Two not Hear ME?!

She doesn't breath our atmosphere, and doesn't under stand us!

=Pulls out his spiker=

Leave her alone!
