Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 3

=I begin to doze as I observe the town=

(Jason)

=Miri and I were on-board the Blacklight. Well, to be fair, it wasn't the Blacklight anymore. We finally got around to those refits for the ship. Now, she was longer, and the length was due to a new med-bay that was installed. Also, she had a small array of pulse laser turrets. She wasn't a war-horse, but she could play hell against enemy ships. She still had stealth on her side, which was good. And all it cost me was 1.5 million credits, but it was worth it. By the time she was done, gone was the Blacklight, and in flew the Serenity.=

(Jason)

=I walked onto the bridge, and couldn't help but run my hand over the consoles, in appreciation for the fine work zeru and his team did. While I was doing that, Miri came up the elevator behind me, and smirked a little=

(Miranda)

You're not going to be cheating on me with the ship, are you?

have fun ethan

=coms jason=


how are the uprgades btw i upgraded the security and i think argo at no charge to help with being stealth

(Jason)

=I commed back zeru=

The upgrades are working great zeru. And as for Argo, he couldn't be happier. He's been running comparisons against his old self, and is pleased with the fact that he's faster.

(Dormii)
=i head off again, after watching Zeru and Ethan talk. i decide to go check up on the Blacklight/Serenity/Jason'sship. i walk over to the door where it is docked and i knock=

(Jason)

=I heard a knock, and before I could ask who it was, the door opened. Argo's voice came over the speakers=

It's Dormii, Jason.

=I nodded, and walked towards the door=

Hey Dormii, how's it going?

(Dormii)
=i smile=
Hey, just checking up on the ship. I don't think I've been on since the upgrades. Permission to come aboard, captain?

(Jason)

=I grinned a little=

Permission granted.

=I extended my arm inwards, welcoming him inside=

(Dormii)
=i step aboard andlook around=
Not bad. I for one give it a thumbs up. How's things?

(Jason)

Things are good. I'm waiting for Argo to finish his diagnostics before we can take her for a field test.

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Nice. Hey, if it's okay to ask, how's Miranda been? Haven't really talked about it since the night you came to ask for help. Just wondering if everything's okay.

(remains disappeared from the ships sensors)

(vox)
Nick? Hello? helllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

Wake up!

(magna vox)

WAKE UP!

(Maxima vox)

WAKE UP!

=His armor unlocks=

Good...

=The screams down=
=He stands up and returns to walking around the ship=

Talfie:

=i wake up feeling perky=

*nyaaa.....

=i get my clothes on and skip to the mess hall=

=He had finished some of his projects=
=The armlet now has the option to deploy a bubble shield=

=He sighs as he enters the training room=

=Choosing a dummy and beginning his routine=


(Rain)

=I had fallen asleep on the ground=
=I wake up, startled=

Where the hell?

=I shake my head and stand up. I head off to the messhall for some grub=

Now....That sucked.

=I laugh entering the messhall=

= i skip over to rain=

hey rain, my skin finaly cleared up!

how are you?

(Rain)

=I smile=

I see that.

Well. I just woke up on the floor.
So...Great

=I laugh=

How about you?

(Dante)

=He ends his training early and heads off to the cells=

He has been acting properly.

=He enters the cells and goes up to Artyom's door. He knocks=

(Artyom)

=He is woken up by the sound of knocking. He stands up, and walks over to the cell door.=

What do I do? Knock back?

=He knocks on the cell door.=

I'm feeling espiecialy energetic today!

oh, by the way, have you seen Sarah lately?

(Dante)

=He opens the door=
=Motioning for Artyom to follow=

You have been on this ship for awhile.
We are heading to the hanger

(Rain)

=I shake my head=

Last time I saw her was.

=I think=

I think she was in the pool doing laps.

=I shrug=

(Artyom)

Hanger? What the hell is happening?

=He begins to follow Dante.=

well... I'll see you later, I'm gonna go have some fun with sarah...

=i begin to walk off=

of coarse...

=i look back=

wour welcome to join us *giggle*

=i head to the pool=

(brb, dishes)

(Dante)

=He coughs=

Alright. We are going to go to the planet.

=Cough=

Just to walk around. Okay.

=They enter the hanger and to a Pelican=

(Rain)

=I think of the last time=

Hmm...That was evil.
But awesome.

=I follow her=

(Miranda)

=I heard Dormii asking about me, and I decided to step from the screen I was checking=

She, is doing fine, thank you for asking. Jason and I had a really good conversation about what happened, and I admit, it hasn't solved everything, I've been sleeping better.

=I hold out my hand in greeting=

Still, it's good to see you Dormii.

(Artyom)

Planet? Actual fresh air for once...

=He enters the Pelican.=

(Dormii)
=i turn a bit pink when i see she was sitting right there. i shake her hand=
Nice to see you, too. So, think I might be able to hang around for the test run?

(Jason)

=I chuckled a little=

Yeah, why not? Argo should be finished by now anyway.

=I walked over to the navigations terminal, and sat down=

Argo, you are done with the diagnostics, right?

(Dante)

=He preps the Pelican=
=After he finishes the Pelican lifts off heading for the planet=

=Cough=

=i walk into the pool room=

*giggle*


(still washing)

(Dormii)
Sweet. Is there like, uh, designated tag-along seat or something?

=i smile jokingly=

(Ethan)

=Sighs=

I better get going, I hope ONI and the UNSC don't find you and send me to kill you all.

=Gets In a pelican and starts its engine.=

(Jason)

Yeah, just sit down at the sensor controls.

=Argo's voice came over the speakers=

Diagnostics complete Jason. The Serenity is ready for her test flight.

(Dante)

=After some time they land=

Alright. We are here.

=He opens the back and steps out=

(Rain)

=I look around the pool. Seeing Sarah and wave=

(Sarah)

=She stops swimming and waves to the two=

Are we gonna have more fun?

=She giggles=

(Dormii)
=i sit down=
Okay, ready whenever you are.

(Artyom)

=He had noticed Dante coughing.=

Shit... Left my sketchbook...

=He pulled out a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket, which he had been throwing at one of the cell walls yesterday.=

At least I always carry a pencil...

=He begins to write 'You okay? You seem to be coughing alot.' He then steps out of the Pelican, and shows the note to Dante.=

=I jolt awake at the reaction of Pelican thrusters in the distance=

Wh.. I was asleep..?

=I look through the optics and begin putting a small camouflaged net over the Rifle and I=

=He takes the note and reads it=

Yeah. I am fine.

=He motions for Artyom to follow=
=Cough=

I just need some medication.

=I see Draco and immediately go to writing in the notepad=

This... is not good...

=i take off all but my underwear and dive in, i resurface behind sarah and cross my arms over her chest=

of coarse, i'm ready for more fun! *giggle*


(still washing)

(Jason)

=I sat at navigations while Miri manned the comms. I fired up the engines, and undocked the ship. We drifted out of the hangar. I took control then=

Okay, let's see what she can do.

=I piloted the ship around the planet's system, and she was faster than before. She was also more agile. She was less a prowler, and more a yacht. When we came up on the asteroid field, I decided that this would be a good time to test out weapons=

Argo, take control of the weapons, and target those rocks.

(Dormii)
=i quietly say to myself=
This'll be goooood.

(Jason)

=I watched the screen as the pulse lasers flashed across space, and the targets were reduced to molten pieces of debris=

Weapons work.

(Dante)

=I take a breath=
=Release=

Hmm.

=I flip on Thermal and look around the trees=

Something doesnt feel right.

(Sarah)

=She giggles=

I am.

=She turns around and takes her under=
=Coming back up=

as well.

=He looks around.=

Definetley better than the cell...

=He begins walking.=

(Miranda)

=I sat at the comm terminal, and watched as the Serenity used her new guns=

Jason, I've gotta say, this is very impressive.

(Jason)

It most certainly is. Dormii, how you hangin?

=My breath was taken away as I see him looking at the treeline=

=I grab the Sniper Rifle and Optics and low crawl backwards=

(Dormii)
=i laugh=
I am in awe. A Prowler with pulse lasers. Just....damn....

= i come back up=

*giggle* you think we can get a straight answer from rain this time?

=i begin heating the pool before taking off my top=

(almost done with dishes)
