Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens"

Hey how are!?

=i skip over to him, my umbrella over my head=

any luck with what's her face?

Scythe:

... oh shit, Lna's probably worried

(Dormii)
=i reply to Zeru=
In a minute.

=to Talfie=
Not yet. How are you?

(Lana)
What the hell is going on?

=i head out into the ship, looking for Kurbis=

Scythe:

... wait, couldn't i just slice my way out of this place?

Talfie:

I'm good! you?

(Jason)
=we had exited Haven, and I noticed in the rear cameras, that the entrance had closed behind us=

(Argo)
Sensors show a slip-space wake in the system Jason. It is most likely the Trophaeum's. Shall I follow it?

(Jason)
Yes. Let's find out where they went.
=We entered slip-space a few minutes later=

(Dormii)
=i smile=
I'm good. Got myself a new arm.

=i wave my new arm and the plates ripple quickly before going back to their normal smooth movement=

=Zantomee and his fleet follow the other ship into slipspace as well=

(Draco)

=He bows his head=

Gods...

=He hears a beeping from his helmet=
=He goes off to his armor and puts it on=
=Replaying the message=

=He sighs=

Talfie:

=my eyes light up at the sight of his new arm=

does it have that new arm smell? *giggle*

Scythe:

Lana must be worried sick...

(Jason)
How long until we reach the Trophaeum?

(Argo)
ETA? At least a day.

(Miranda)
A day? By the time we get there, whatever is going on will be over. If what they said is true, about genocide, then we need to get to them now.

(Jason)
I know that Miri, but we can't go any faster.

(Silver Light)
Umm, that is not entirely correct.

[RECORDING 2:15PM]

Jesus....I wish I had more red blood cells, I can see some ancient ruin type. Wait? What is that? (A screeching noise comes through the mic) WHAT THE FUCK!? (Another screech, a gun shot rings through) GET THE FUCK AWAY! (Two more shots go through, a dying screech) HOLY....Holy shit....okay uh...That was a spider.....That was a giant spider. Uh....I'll just keep this recording here. I'm going to go into this temple in front of this body.

[END RECORDING]

(Lana)
=i get worried=
What the hell is going ooonnnn. Why am I not seeing anyone?

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
If it did, it wore off before I woke up. You like?

=i hug his arm=

hmm...

it's not the same though...

Scythe:

i hope she isn't mad...

(Jason)
What do you mean Silver?

(Silver Light)
Well, while this ship has the potential to be faster, it is restricted by both it's tech, and the jump calculations. While I can't modify the ship now, I can give you better calculations, which should allow us to get to your destination much sooner.

(Jason)
How much sooner?

(Silver Light)
If the calculations take, then we should be able to reach your friends in maybe.....8 hours, 9 tops.

(Jason)
Do it.

(Dormii)
Not the same as what? Not having an arm?

=i chuckle lightly=

(Lana)
Where is everyone...

=i head towards the messhall=

yeah... it's not like your other arm...

it was more comfortable to push up against...

= i let go and eat a peice of bacon=

(Rain)

=I had actually fallen asleep in the messhall=
=Again=
=Opening my eyes, adjusting them=

Why, the hell.
Do I keep fallin asleep in here.

(Silver Light)
We will have to exit slip-space first, but it shouldn't take me more than a minute.

(Jason)
Alright. Argo, take us out of slip-space.

(Argo)
Exiting now.
=We exited slip-space, in the middle of nowhere=

(Silver Light)
Excellent. I will begin now.
=I began uploading the new jump calculations into the ships computer, and a minute later, the ship took them, and we were back in slip-space, moving "faster"=

(Dormii)
Well, I do have my left one you can push up against. You know, assuming you want to.

=i sit on the other side of him=

Actually I'm good right now...

= i eat another piece=

Scythe:

[END RECORDING]

The Doctor slowly Advances through the cave, slowly, eyes wary of any traps that may have been laid out. He looks farther down the tunnel, seeing light, he moves a little bit faster still wary.
at the end of the tunnel, and the light, he sees a Ruin of some currently unknown species. 'Twas at that moment he heard the skittering of limbs across the ground, a sound he was vaguely familiar with, he heard the screech of the spider and moved on instinct rolling the spider missed him. He reaches in his bag and takes out a bottle of expensive perfume, and takes two bold steps and sprays the spider in the face, of facial region. The chemicals in the Perfume screwed with the spiders sense of smell and it curled up into a ball and laid there, still, unmoving, especially after he took the 'arm' from a dead spider nearby and stabbed it through the abdomen several times. Then he found the audiotape, and continued on, into the 'Temple' that he was apparently standing in front of.

(Dormii)
=i smile=
Thought so. How's Rain?

(Lana)
=i walk into the messhall and go over to the counter. i go sit at the table with Dormii, with his new robo arm thingie, and Talfie, Kurbis' old girlfriend=
Hi.

i havn't seen him...

Hi, Lana was it?

(Lana)
=i nod=
Yup. Talfie, right?

(Dormii)
Hey Lana.

=i take spoonful of soup=

yep that's me

I wonder where rain has been...

(Lana)
Hey Dreamy. So, when did you get your new arm? And when were you going to tell me about these "episodes" you have?

=i take a bite of my sandwich=

(Dormii)
The arm is new, the episodes, well, I didn't want you to know.

...

= i lean against Dor=

...

I hope rain is okay

=The Kid begins to worry. He begins putting on his armor=

(Jason)
=I considered what we may be flying into, so I decided to address the crew. Granted, it was only two other people, but I felt they deserved to know. I pressed the button for the ships comm=

Attention. This your captain speaking. I know I should have told you before we left, but something has occurred; our friends and allies aboard the Trophaeum, have left to face a genocidal enemy. I do not know all the details and I wish I did, so I could tell you more. But we are heading into what may be the eye of the storm, and I do not know what will happen. I do not know, if we will survive. But what I do know, is this: We go, to stand with our friends, against the darkness they have chosen to face. And it is not, for the sake of who's banner, the victim fly's. It is to avenge, all the innocents that have been killed, and in defense, of all the innocents, that have yet to be killed.

(Lana)
Why didn't you want me to know?

(Dormii)
Because it's not something I'm proud of, it's something I hate, and I didn't want to burden you with it.

=i rub Talfie's back and try to take another spoonful of soup=

=I crack my back and stand up=

(Rain)

=I lift my head up, hearing my name=

What?

=I see the others at a table=
=I stand and walk over to the table=

What?

*sigh*...

=i brush my head against his shoulder=

Scythe:

stupid arachnids...

=i get my armor on=

[RECORDING 2:45]

Okay....looks like there is probably something important in here. Maybe....hopefully. Ow....ow ow ow ow ow ow ow OW OW OW OW. (A growling starts to go through the audio. It gets louder and louder. Finally it stops, then footsteps run off)

[END RECORDING]

(Rain)

=I sigh=

Whatever.

=I walk off to the pool=

(Lana)
Burden? It would've been a nice thing to know. It wasn't going to be a burden at all.

(Dormii)
Really? Being worried every day that I might snap and attack you? That wouldn't be a burden?

=I see rain and get up=

Oh there you are!

=i follow him=

how are you rain?

(Lana)
No, it wouldn't be. It would be something your friend can help you with.

(Dormii)
=i sigh and shake my head=
Yeah...I guess you are right...

(Lana)
Damn right I'm right.

(Dormii)
C'mon. Let's go to the hanger. It'll be more exciting anyway.

=we both get up and head to the hanger=

(Gabby)
=Kenny and I were below decks, in engineering, when Jason delivered his speech. It was, scary really. I mean, flying off to what could be our death? But, I trusted him, and Miranda. I had to believe, that we would make it out, and live=

(Kenny)
=I didn't know about Gabby, but I was nervous. But, I loved her, and wherever she went, I was going to stay with her=

(Draco)

=He sighs, grabbing his weapons, opening his footlocker=
=Grabbing everything that he can carry=
=He heads off to the hanger=

(Rain)

=I keep walking=

Im fine.
How are you?

=I continue to look forward=

(Miranda)
Not bad Jason. I never really pegged you for the type to make speeches.

(Jason)
Well, I'm not that good at it. I mean, I spoke what was in the heart, but the heart was not that articulate.

I'm great!

I was wondering where you were... i must admit i got a bit worried, i hadn't seen you in awhile... Dormii was rubbing my back to make me feel better if you were wondering what was going on...

=sits near the transport=

(Draco)

=He enters the hanger=
=He has on him his Hydra, Handcannon, Armlet, and his Angel Maker=
=He sighs=

(Rain)

=I nod=

Thats good.

=I look at her=

You were worried about me?

(Dormii)
=we enter the hanger and go over to Draco=
Hey, you got the call as well?

(Lana)
Hey, Draco.

of coarse i was...

=i hug him=

(Draco)

=He nods to Dormii=

I did.

=He looks to Lana=

Hello, Lana.
How have things been.

(Rain)

=I hug her back=
=We enter the pool room=

Thank you Talfie.

...


Scythe:

=i pick up my Scythe=

time to... meh.

= i sit down and take a nap=

(Dormii)
Huh...

=the plates ripple a bit faster=


(Lana)
Things have been good. You haven't seen Kurbis around anywhere, have you?

(Jason)
=I noticed that I was still wearing the combat skin=
Silver, what exactly is this thing capable of, other than the stuff my old armor could do?

(Silver Light)
There are wrist mounted energy blades, that when armed, can extend to the length of your hand, and maybe another inch. Also, while the armor does have shields, you can also activate a wrist mounted shield, though that will drop the shields on you body.

(Jason)
Impressive.
