Chapter 4: Exodus part 3

=As they run down the halls Ash shouts to Draco=
Is there even anyone at the medbay!? What do we do if no ones there!

@Ash
Try and figure out what happened

(He notices blood on Snows armor)

Get Snow patched up

(They enter the medbay, laying the two on the beds)

Okay... I'll try!

=She inspects Snows wounds=
Okay I can do this...

=She begins treating him to the best of her abilities=

(He goes over to Tar)
@Tar
Hey, um..........uh......Tar?
Wake up

(He smacks him on the cheek to wake him up)

=goes over the new armor for dormi making sure it works right=

=She moves closer to Snow=
Snow you there..? Stay with me I've got you...

=She looks over to Draco then continues to tend to Snows wounds=
What the hell happened?! What's Tar doing out here...?

@Tar
Cmon
Wake up

(He smacks him lightly again)
(He goes over to the sink and pours some water into a glass)
(He dumps it on Tar)

=He recieves the Comm=

Voutan- This is Voutan Reist, of former SHI squad and the Solun Spirit.

..................pain?

=wakes up to Draco smacking him across the face=

what the hell?! stop hitting me! who are you?! And why am i wet!!!???

~
You know as much as I do
That I can't sleep...
That my dreams circle
Around you all the time...

I have waited for nights
That you come to me...
So finally give me your hand
And come into the light...

It's just a small step...
And there'll be no way back anymore...

Träumst du mit mir heut Nacht?
Springst du mit mir heut Nacht?

- oomph!

(He takes the hit)
@Tar
Probably deserved that
Anyway.
My name is Draco.
Ash and I found you passed out on the ground in the courtyard.
I poured water on you to wake you up.

This is X No Epsilon. I understand you eliminated a man by the name of X No Delta. You have done as i have been trying to do for years. I would like to speak to you. Would you meet me in the Hanger of the Azure Comet?

Ash........?
she was with me when immer died...

@Tar
I am sorry for your loss.
You seem dehydrated.

(He goes to the sink again and fills the glass)
(He returns to Tar)

Here drink this

(He looks at Ash)

@Ash
How are you coming with Snow

Voutan- Okay, but beleive me, if i even suspect something, you will know suffering like you can not even imagine.

=He lands the Solun Spirit in the Hanger of the Comet. He gets off the ship and meets X No Epsilon there=

=She finishes wrapping and treating Snows wounds=
Better... Well I did the best I could

=She turns to face Tar-Tun, she walks closer to him leaving Snow=
What happened Tar-Tun? Why are you here...?

=He watches as the small ship lands in the hanger, the entryway lowers, and a Spartan emerges=

Hello there. You must be Voutan.

=He offers to shake hands=

I am Epsilon.

=He shakes his hand=

Voutan- Yea, im Voutan. Nice to meet you Eps. You said you wanted to discuss something?

=guzzles the water like a cheap shot of Vodka=

I dont wan't to be a bother but, could i have something to eat? the last time i ate was 14 hours ago...

why am i here...? Vout mutilated Delta, stuffed his heart in a bag and gave it to me, that sick-son-of-a-bitch hung his spine and skull on a wall. upon seeing the heart i threw up, and well dehydration and starvation didn't help i ran to get someones attention but passed out.

What..?!

=Her eyes widen=
What the hell is going on...

=She shakes her head=
I thought you left... With Vouton..?

(He grimaces)
@Tar
Jesus

Yeah there should be some food in the messhall

(He looks to Ash)
@Ash
We better get back to Jay

he left? that jerk... i'm gonna kill- ................

what am i saying?
he's my friend,
but what kind of friend?

Ash we need to find him!

=She looks over to Draco=
Its okay... I will stay here... Make sure everyone's all right..

=She quickly kisses him=
You find Jay, then come get me...

=She turns back to Tar-tun=
Who..? Voutan...?

You like to cut right to the point i see. I like that. Come with me, and i'll explain.

=they walk into a conference room and sit down at a table=

You see, after a large battle with the UNSC, we crashed here, our ship disabled and with a rather powerful and unstable bomb onboard. Recently, however, we've been making progress. We now have full power and most systems back online. The bomb has been stablized. The only things left to fix are the locks to the Brig and the Cannon, other than that, we are fully operational. I have been trying to get rid of Delta for years now, so that i might take his place. yet by some fortune, you have managed to do this for me. I would like to thank you personally, and to let you know that should you need something, anything, come to me and i'll do my best to help. We're still in a bit of a tight spot with these ships hanging over us in orbit, so it will be some time before we leave.

yes, we need to find him, he's gone nuts. He can't concentrate his anger, god knows what he'll do next...

@Ash
Alright

(He heads off to the courtyard again)
(He goes into a sprint)
(He arrives)
(He walks up to Jay)

@Jay
Alright

I raise my eyebrows in surprise.

N...No...Ash?

=She stands closer to Tar-tun=
Tell me..? Where is he..? What happened?

@Jay
No, she is staying with Tar.
But hey you got me

(He smiles)

I show him the memory chip.


Loca...Loca...Locat...Place whe...Where ONI sh...ship is

(He recieves the chip)
@Jay
Thank you.
Very much.

I was by the Lake, he comm'ed me, told me it was important, we're back at the Azure Comet, he leaves, returns but with slaughtered Delta. He tells me to fly back, and you know the rest...

And i don't know where he is... That's why I need help... can you help?

=She stutters her words=
I... I don't know...?

=She looks at his eyes=
There's a hog out back... If we need to that would be the best way to find him..

I snatch the ship back off of him and glare.

You get this wh.....When you're...Prepar....Prepar....Ready to leave.

(He smiles)
@Jay
Okay, okay.
Tell me.
How have you been.

= he smiles=
thank you...
=Tar's eyes flash colour as he looks down at Immer's necklace=
thank you

I shake my head

No time. We...We need t...To get you ready.

(He sighs)
@Jay
Okay
Can you at least tell me who Ash is trying to find.
Just one word answer.

=She gives a reassuring smile=
Can you move..? You look like you should eat before we do anything...

Voutan- That would be great, seeing as it just so happens that i need a palce to stay for while to let things settle down.
=He gets up and shakes Ep's hand=
So do we have an accord?

*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
=Tar's stomach growls, almost in approval=
that's probably a good idea, what is there to eat?

=He smiles=

Indeed we do.

=He heads off to the bridge to check on everything's status=

I stand up

Okay s...So food supp...Supplies. A dec..decent ship wi....With fully wor...Working Slipsp...Slipspace...engines. Wea...Weapons.

=She laughs=
Sadly not a lot... Were low on supplies... But I will find you something.. Come with me

=She holds her hand out for him=

(He taps his finger on his helmet)
@Jay
A.I.
We are pretty much set.
Just gotta know where we are going after we get the ship.

=takes the inviting hand, stands up, and tries to start a conversation=
... You know, both of my eyes are grey, but one is blueish, and the other is greenish...

I turn to Draco

I was lis....Listing the thin...Things we need.

=She laughs=
Is this how you start every conversation?

=She helps him walk as the head toward the messhall=

=I slowly awake, tipping over the side of the table, crunching myself to the floor=

FUUUUUCK!!

=I grab my leg in the heat of pain=

@Jay
Oh.
Well.....then
We have the A.I.

(He smiles)

Cmon.
Lets go.

Go whe....Where?

I laugh.
