Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 8

=sees kota=

can i help you?




what data it's all secured

Ko/sun:

... you are?


(he's a good ai)

the captain




question why did he try to take the data and that doesn't mean he can do that easily

=He sighs as he finishes off the HC's cleaning=

=He had switched to country music=
=He sits back in the chair=

= Colder Weather begins to play =

identify name.


(by data i meant what hardware is being used, he can't read info on the hardware)

(Dormii)
=i finish eating and go off to the pool. i stick my legs in, but don't go in all the way=

zeru ishtar


what do u mean the hardware why would he want to know that

...


(wouldn't you want to know what kind of hardware runs the ship?)

well what do you want




it's not that simple and why does he wanna know if his job is to protect talfie

(Dormii)
=i sigh and enjoy the water=



(tar, i explained it to him already)

i wish to use the lab...

i want to make a modification to my head...

=he removes his face (basically just a featureless metal cover) and shows it to him, the laser in his head exposed=

my face could use a better look

[ui] follow me[/u]


=starts walkiing=


two things one data u got is free to everyone so a very limited map and seond what kind of face you want

=Xazhi and Adam decide to head back to the Eirav Wing. They see that it is covered in a thick, white substance=

Xaz- What the...?

=A swarm of small Heracs jump out from behind the ship=

Xaz- FUCKING HELL!

=Xazhi is staggered back. He fires a few shots before the Heracs scurry away. They head back to the cave=

Xaz- Lori, We have a problem.

Lor- Yea?

Xaz- There are Heracs loose on the surface...

Lor- Heracs!? Really!?

Xaz- Yes. Not just any, either. They were the colony types.

Lor- Oh gods... What are we going to do...?

Xaz- I dont know. But i do know that unless a proper force is called in, any small towns or villages in the nearby area are going to be defenseless to stop it.

Kid- But why are the spiders a problem now? Wont it take time before they have any real numbers?

Xaz- Kid, Heracs arent just any spiders. Their evolution put them at the top of the food chain on Srevaera, and it is still that way today for a reason. Their silk is stronger than almost any other element. Their venom is enough to kill a whale. Their eight legs and large size make them able to run at about 35 miles an hour. Not to mention the fact that they multiply like rats. These two or three young ones that stowed away on our ship probably hatched yesterday. And by the end of the week, we will have a huge problem on our hands...

I'll make it myself...

(how would zeru new he was scanning!?)

(Dormii)
=i lie back on the floor of the pool room, not wanting to test to see if my arm can go in the water=

=goes in the lab comes out with several tools=


have fun




it's called surveilance no one leaves the bridge unguarded[/u]

=he takes the tools and enters=

(how would you know he's scanning without checking the servalince!? plus, when he's scanning it looks like he's just looking around!)

=keeps an eye on him=




tar what else would he be doing in the bridge jsut don't worry about it nothing important was taken so lets just leave it at that

(Tar, for once, Zeru is right. Now shut the hell up.)

=he continues working, changing the dull silver face cover (his entire body is a dull silver)=


(you just hate being wrong, besides how would you have found out?)

=wonders how long this will take=




sensors tell me when somone is scanning and that's all there is to it just let it be

(Dormii)
=i relax and just focus on the sounds i hear=



(scy, please. just stop it. nothing is going to happen because of it. just because he knows doesn't mean he is going to do something about it)

=The Azure Comet comes over the next UNSC colony. This time, the attack is more brutal. Instead of dropping the bombs on the planet, they fired them, leaving huge craters where great cities once stood. By the end, the planet again glowed red, but this time, there was an X factor. A small cloaked UNSC prowler nearby had witnessed the destruction. The captain must have known that no less than the full fleet of Earth would stop one of those ships, and jumps to slipspace, looking for aid in a less likely place=

(Tar, on the off chance you didnt skip this page, Shut up. His AI works like yours (mine, actually, that i gave to you). So leave it be)

=he begins cutting the face=

(there's no way to tell when someone is scanning! there's no signal involved!)


(fine, i'll stop, no further comments will be made)

(Miranda)
=Apart from my trip to the planet, I had stayed on the Serenity the whole time. I tried to get over it, but hey, you try and get over the fact that the one you love is dead. I didn't even have a body to bury=

=They arrive at the place and the squad's get out=

Nolan - Ward, Stay here and stop the TroopHog when it comes. Aces. If we get fired at, make sure you cover us.

Ward, Aces - Yes Sir.

Nolan - Marines. Go up the path. Expect ANY ambushes.

=They go up to the Facility=

Nolan - Lance, You and your squad go that way, Give me two of your men and We will go the other way.

Lance - Don't get my men killed.

Nolan - I won't...

=Nolan comms Command=

Nolan - Command, This is Nolan, From the UNSC Marines Special Forces Task Force. I am at the Facility. Permission to engage.

Command - This is Command. Permission Granted. Don't get killed out there. We will send support if needed.

Nolan - Yes Si---

=Rebels emerge from the Facility, Shooting at the Marines=

Nolan - I need support! Lance! Watch your 12!

Lance - Shit!

=Black Aces starts to shoot. The Troop hog arrives and Ward stops it=

Nolan - Where is that support?

E-26 Black Eye - Hang in there, Nolan. I'm coming.

Nolan - Keep pushing them back

=The Marines push the Rebels back to the Facility, Taking cover behind rocks=

Rebel - Shoot down that Falcon...

Rebel - I'll get the RPG.

----------------------------------

E-26 Black Eye - Your squads are going to have to go back, Danger close.

Nolan - You heard him. Black Aces, Land at the Vulture.

Aces - Got it.

=The Falcon and Squads start to head back to the safe zone, about half a while away. Rebels fire at them. Three Shortshorts bomb the Facility. The bombs explode, Causing a big explosion=

Nolan - What the fuck was that?

=The ground starts to shake=

F-27 Black Bird - SHIT! I'm going down! I need help! Please!

E-26 Black Eye - Hold in Tight. Nolan, Send something to his location, Now.

Nolan - Joseph and the Two Marines, Go with Black Aces, The rest of us will go with the Hog. Lance, Get back to the Base. Get the Power on.

Lance - Yes sir.

=he finishes crafting his face=

(Dormii)
=i look at my arm again and sigh=
Damn door...

=he puts his face on, a dull silver slate with two circular eyes and a jagged mouth, resembling a jack-o-lantern without a nose=

better

(Dormii)
=i sigh again=

(Lana)
=i put my arms around him again=
Whatchya thinkin' about?


(i am assuming lana and kurbis are back in their room)

hold on...

=he goes through his system before an eerie oarange light glows behind his hollow eyes and mouth=

scythe:

*sigh*... we should... start a family.

(Lana)
=i rub his arm=
I know but how? It's not like I can.

*sigh* it would be nice to pass down the Stenzier name...

lets go


=starts leaving the lab=

(Lana)
I know...I know...we could adopt a kid? Get a surrogate? I don't know...I'm sorry, Kurbis. I wish I could...

it's okay...

=i kiss her cheek=


Kota/sun:

you should relax...

=he steps out=

(Lana)
=i look at him=
You sure? You sound like you really want a kid, and I can't give you one.

your my wife, your all i need...

but, a family would be nice...

(Lana)
=i press closer to him=
It would, wouldn't it...

=i rest my head on his shoulder=
The only thing I can think of is to find someone willing to be a surrogate or to adopt a kid.

... i love you lana

(Lana)
I love you too, Kurbis.

=i give him a kiss on the lips=

good night... my queen.


(night guys)

(Lana)
=i rest my head on his chest=
Good night, my king...


(Dylon)
=i'm sitting in the medbay with a cast on my arm. I have my mask on to keep up with the updates of the search parties and the status of the ship=

(Laura)

=She had fallen asleep in the Messhall.=

(Senox)

=I had left the Messhall, and had gone walking around.=

(Dormii)
=i fall asleep with my legs in the pool=

(Dormii)
=a few hours later I wake up. I get myself dried off, even though only my legs were in the water, and head off to the hanger bay to go to the Repent for the squad selection training=

(Laura)

=She wakes up, lifting her head off the table.=
