 Episode XI: Lost and Captured

 (COM) Agent Washington, this is Captain Flowers. Do you read me?  * Agent-Washington picks up the COM warily. < Agent-Washington > (COM) This is Agent Washington.  (COM) Nice to hear from you, Wash. ONI was wondering how your...task...was coming along.  * Agent-Washington checks the radio signal. < Agent-Washington > (COM) Is this a secure channel? <Agent_Florida> (COM) Does ONI ever use anything but? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) Yeah, stupid question. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) It's coming along. No thanks to Carolina and her gang of maniacs, I might add. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Yeah, that was kinda unexpected. Still, good to hear you're in one piece. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) For what it's worth. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) You tired of taking orders from Ulan yet? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) I still don't have anyting substantial for ONI. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) Not yet, anyway. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Okay. You know what to do once you've got it. In the meantime...keep it up. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) Wait. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) There is one thing I need to report. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Go ahead. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) They're moving against Covenant targets now. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Okay, thanks. I'll be sure to pass it on. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) I don't know exactly what's going on, but they're looking for something out on the front lines. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Yeah, a lot of people are digging on our end to see what the director was up to. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Chances are, Ulan's after the same thing. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> (COM) Probably. I'll keep doing some digging of my own until I find out. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) Okay. I guess I'll contact you when you've got more to report.

<font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington closes the channel and turns to Ulan, who is standing beside him. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> So. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> ONI thinks I'm still their man. <Jonathan_Ulan> Very good <Jonathan_Ulan> Stay cautious though <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Right. <Jonathan_Ulan> I don't trust ONI in anything <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Of course. <Jonathan_Ulan> How's the ship? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Repairs were completed from the last sortie. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> We're ready to move out when you give the word. <Jonathan_Ulan> I see. If we capture any prisoners, we can use them to bargain with the Freelancers <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington glances down at the communication console, which is beeping with a new caller. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Who is it now? <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> chuckles. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Ulan, are you reading me? <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Roger <Jonathan_Ulan> I'll take care of this Wash <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington nods and leaves the room. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Go ahead. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Well, that's why I joined up with you, Reggie. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I was hoping for a status update. <ODST_Leader> (COM) We haven't heard much from your end since Europa. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Yeah, we got hit pretty hard <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Couldn't get anything, but we wounded two Freelancers <ODST_Leader> (COM) How are you doing now? <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I'm okay, for a man who's been shot about 6 or 7 times, beaten, and stabbed <ODST_Leader> (COM) You always are. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I don't even bother to ask anymore. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Hahaha <ODST_Leader> (COM) But listen to me, Ulan. <ODST_Leader> (COM) We've had a breakthrough. * Jonathan_Ulan is now interested <ODST_Leader> (COM) Two days ago, some of my teams captured a Covenant research vessel. <ODST_Leader> (COM) The whole thing's intact, including the stuff they were working on. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I see where this is going <ODST_Leader> (COM) It's a gold mine. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Some things such as? <ODST_Leader> (COM) I'd rather not say over a channel like this. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Roger, i'll head out <ODST_Leader> (COM) Oh, Ulan. <ODST_Leader> (COM) There's one other thing. <ODST_Leader> (COM) We've found Georgia. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I know, I saw him on Europa * ODST_Leader pauses before speaking, his voice tight. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Yes. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I know. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I also know he handed the Freelancers the keys to the most important discovery of the century. * Jonathan_Ulan 's brow furrows <ODST_Leader> (COM) That site on Europa was supposed to be ours. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Now there's ONI troops crawling all over it. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I can fix that <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) What kind of WMD do you want? <ODST_Leader> (COM) We need that site intact, Ulan. <ODST_Leader> (COM) But we aren't ready to go up against ONI. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Not yet, anyway. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I need your help with something else. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Yes? <ODST_Leader> (COM) Georgia. <ODST_Leader> (COM) I'm bringing him in. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) What do you mean? <ODST_Leader> (COM) Exactly what I said. <ODST_Leader> (COM) He's too dangerous to be let free. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Do you think you could lend me some support for this op? <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I can <ODST_Leader> (COM) Glad to hear it. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) But you better have something ready to capture him <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) And, one more thing <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) The Freelancers want Georgia, from what I know, so we can hand him over to them, in return they pay us <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Or we just torture him and kill him <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Or, best yet, kill him on the spot <ODST_Leader> (COM) He knows more than he lets on. <ODST_Leader> After what he's done to us, I won't be too busted up about busting him up to find out exactly what that is. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I just received orders directly from General Makosky. He said to kill Georgia <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) You know who Makosky is right? <ODST_Leader> (COM) Yes. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Good <ODST_Leader> (COM) Makosky will get a corpse. <ODST_Leader> (COM) But only after we've gotten what we want out of him. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I'll head to your ship and meet up, see you then <ODST_Leader> (COM) Alright. * Jonathan_Ulan closes the channel <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Wash, report in. <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington enters. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> You called? <Jonathan_Ulan> Indeed. Give the crew orders to jump to these coordinates, and one more thing. Do you know who Adam Makosky is? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> No, I don't. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Never heard the name before. <Jonathan_Ulan> Good <Jonathan_Ulan> Now take us to these coordinates <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington nods and plugs the coordinates into the nav computer. <Jonathan_Ulan> Oh, one more thing Wash. I heard Mont is dead, is that true? <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington glances over at Ulan. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Yeah, I heard. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> It happened before I defected. <Jonathan_Ulan> Wash, ETA to the coordinates? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Five hours. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> You still haven't told me what we're up to here. * Jonathan_Ulan positions his face an inch from Wash's visor <Jonathan_Ulan> That information is property of me and Venezia High Command <Jonathan_Ulan> I tell you when you need to know <Jonathan_Ulan> Till then, and when I can really trust you <font color=#727272> * <font color=#A56542>Agent_Georgia takes a swig from a cheap liquor bottle. He is even more disheveled and unkempt than usual. <Jonathan_Ulan> Wash, you have certainly been a great aid, but this op is top secret <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington looks Ulan square in the eye through his visor. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Got it. <Jonathan_Ulan> But I shall give a concession this time <Jonathan_Ulan> We are on a mission to gather a Covenant weapons stockpile <Jonathan_Ulan> That's all I know. The rest is property of our ODST friend and General Makosky <font color=#727272> * <font color=#A56542>Agent_Georgia turns back to his work station. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> And who's this Makosky guy again? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Or is that another thing I don't need to know? <Jonathan_Ulan> Wash: Look him up on this datapad, it'll tell you more than what I can until I am blue in the face * Jonathan_Ulan gives Wash the datapad <Jonathan_Ulan> Look him up. Full Name: Adam Pavlov Makosky <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington looks down at the datapad, studying it intently. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> I see. <font color=#C18900> * <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington scrolls through the information, then hands it back to Ulan. <Jonathan_Ulan> Impressive eh? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> So that's why you take him so seriously. <Jonathan_Ulan> Yep <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> That's one way to put it. <Jonathan_Ulan> From Far Isle to Arcadia, and now a rebel <font color=#727272> * <font color=#A56542>Agent_Georgia opens a small computer bank. Images from his helmet recording of the alien ruins on Europa flash across the screen. <Jonathan_Ulan> Wash, I see we are leaving slipspace, are we there? <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> Yes. <font color=#C18900>< <font color=#7C7C7C>Agent-Washington <font color=#C18900>> The Staff of Charon is waiting for us. * Jonathan_Ulan opens a channel to ODST Leader <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Leader, we're here <ODST_Leader> (COM) Ulan, we see you. <ODST_Leader> (COM) Get a team together and come aboard. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Oh dear, we have an unexpected development <ODST_Leader> (COM) What's wrong? <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Leader, we have another ship coming in * Jonathan_Ulan sees the Kasserine Pass <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Oh God, Makosky's here * ODST_Leader glances at his instruments, then turns to his bridge crew. <ODST_Leader> Put the ship on secondary alert. <ODST_Leader> I want everyone ready for trouble. * Adam_Makosky (443f77a4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.68.63.119.164) has joined #halo-fanon <Adam_Makosky> (COM) I see you <ODST_Leader> So this is the Makosky Ulan won't shut up about. <Adam_Makosky> (COM) Do you read me? <ODST_Leader> (COM) Yeah, we hear you. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Roger sir <Adam_Makosky> (COM) Leader, can your ship link up with the Kasserine? <ODST_Leader> (COM) We can pull along side. <ODST_Leader> (COM) But first, I want to know what you're doing here. <Adam_Makosky> (COM) I am here to see this for myself as an ambassador for Venezia URF HIGHCOM * Jonathan_Ulan links up with Pass, and sends a team with Makosky to the Staff of Charon <ODST_Leader> Ugh, Venezia. <ODST_Leader> Always sticking its nose where it isn't needed. * Adam_Makosky boards the Staff Of Charon * ODST_Leader leaves the bridge, motioning for a security team to follow. * Adam_Makosky meets the Leader <ODST_Leader> I hope you really are just here to watch, Makosky. <ODST_Leader> This is my operation. <Adam_Makosky> Me and Ulan are both here to observe <Adam_Makosky> So no worries <ODST_Leader> That's funny, Ulan told me he could offer support. <Adam_Makosky> Well, he has leeway, so he can do that <Adam_Makosky> If he offers support, so do I * Adam_Makosky looks at the Pass <Adam_Makosky> A big ol ship eh? * ODST_Leader shrugs, adjusting C.T.'s armor. <ODST_Leader> I've seen bigger. <Adam_Makosky> But anyway, lead me to the research ship <ODST_Leader> Just remember, Georgia's my target. <ODST_Leader> I don't know what Venezia wants with him and I don't really care. <Adam_Makosky> He has info on our defenses <ODST_Leader> Well, he also has information on a bunch of other stuff. * Adam_Makosky chuckles <Adam_Makosky> One would think he would know about who launched the nukes on Far Isle too <ODST_Leader> Once I'm done with him, you can do whatever it takes to keep your little secrets safe. <Adam_Makosky> Kill him Leader <ODST_Leader> I have other plans, Makosky. <Adam_Makosky> But what's aboard this research ship anyway <ODST_Leader> Ah, so Ulan told you about it. <Adam_Makosky> That's why i'm here <ODST_Leader> I'll let you know after Georgia's on my ship. <Adam_Makosky> I see <Adam_Makosky> I'll return later then <ODST_Leader> Like I told Ulan. <ODST_Leader> What's on this ship could put our movement ahead decades. <Adam_Makosky> I'll return, but Ulan is here for now * Adam_Makosky gets back aboard his ship, and prepares to head back to Venezia * Adam_Makosky has quit (Quit: Page closed) * ODST_Leader opens a channel to Ulan. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Yes? <ODST_Leader> (COM) Hey, your boss just took off. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) I know <ODST_Leader> (COM) Are your men ready yet? <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Yep <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Got my whole complement of Raginis Guards <ODST_Leader> (COM) Alright, then get your dropships prepped. <ODST_Leader> (COM) We're moving in. <Jonathan_Ulan> (COM) Roger * Jonathan_Ulan gets in his Pelican, and motions for the others to follow him as he follows Leader * ODST_Leader heads down to the Charon's hangar, where his assault teams are loading themselves onto Pelicans. <ODST_Leader> Alright, people, you know the drill. <ODST_Leader> We make this fast and clean. <Jonathan_Ulan> Leader: I got my own supersoldiers * ODST_Leader nods to Ulan. <ODST_Leader> Load them up.

<font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida exits the communications room and sees Wyoming standing outside. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Reggie. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> smiles, pushing off of the wall to stand straight. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Butch. Been too long. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Yeah. ONI's been keeping me busy. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> claps Agent_Florida on the shoulder. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> All for a good cause, I'm sure. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Sometimes. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida walks down the hallway with Wyoming. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> So why the visit? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You miss my pretty face? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> What, I can't just drop in on an old friend once in a while? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> When there's a war on with a genocidal alien collective. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Well, with the UNSC keeping tabs on all of us now, I'd have to honestly say no. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Since it sounds like they're keeping you busy too. First Sergeant Harding. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You know, I suppose even I can't create a convincing cover story for this. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> We need your help, Butch. Big time. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> All you have to do is ask. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Okay. . . we need you to keep ONI off us, and perhaps even more critically, Halsey. Let us know how much they know about us, and which of their machinations we should watch out for. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida looks thoughtful. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I guess I can do that. Since ONI trusts me to be the middle man between you guys and them. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> looks surprised. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Really? Just like that? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Huge cover-ups, and. . . <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida grins. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Guess they think I'm like Missouri or something. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Hah, you haven't changed a bit, old chap. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I've only had to work with these assholes for a month to figure out their cloak-and-dagger ways. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You see, I have one thing going for me. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> And that is? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> The director actually had everyone thinking I didn't exist. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Really? I wonder how he managed that. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> He pulled some "There is no Florida" curtain or something. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> So naturally ONI would assume it was the work of one of their spooks. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Put me into the system like Missouri. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You mean he was behind. . . ah. Ah. I sometimes forget just how far our dear Director could go sometimes. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> And just how much he was capable of. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You wouldn't know it by the man sitting in the brig, nowadays. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Really? I heard he was still pretty cocky about himself. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Well, I suppose he had reason to be. But his flaw wasn't in overestimating himself, I think. It was in underestimating us. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You're certainly. proof of that. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You know, I don't think ONI promoted me over the heads of a dozen Freelancers just because the director kept me in the dark. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I get the feeling they want me to keep an eye on Carolina. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> And they want to keep the director out of sight as much as possible. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Perhaps. Although, had it panned out the way we all thought, it'd be Tex they'd want you to spy on. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I'm not sure yet, but I feel like there's some kind of connection between them. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Tex and Carolina, I mean. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida laughs. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Aside from the fact that they can both kick the collective asses of an army single-handed, I mean. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> smirks. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Of course. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> To be honest, I've already started looking into files I don't have clearance to. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> But that's my concern. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I'll tell you once I figure out a bit more. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Now, back on topic. What did you need me to do? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> For now, Butch, we need you where you are. Getting us intel on anyone that wants us dead, of which there are many, and ensuring Halsey's rivals don't limit her work. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> She's. . . become an ally of late. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Okay. It won't be easy, but I'll see what I can do. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Dr. Halsey sure has made a lot of enemies though. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I know that without even looking into her files. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> If it were easy, I wouldn't be asking you, Butch. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida grins. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I'll take that as a compliment, I guess. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> nods curtly. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida frowns and taps his helmet. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Excuse me, Reggie. I've got a transmission. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Of course. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida listens intently. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> (COM) What? Okay. Are you sure? Alright, I'm on it. Keep your head down. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida cuts the connection and looks at Wyoming. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Duty calls? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You could say that. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Say, Reggie. How close are you with Georgia? <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> 's face grows quite uncertain. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> It's. . . rather complicated. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Well, my inside man just informed me that the rebels are arranging for his capture and execution. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Wait, what? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I didn't know the guy that well, and I don't really know what's going on with him. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> But he's one of us, isn't he? <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> considers every argument Texas and the others have ever made with him over Georgia. For some reason, none of it seems to matter. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Aye. That he is. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I trust ONI can get a way to stop said execution? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Probably. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Then. . . you still good with that rifle? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Definitely. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I saved all your asses in that complex, didn't I? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> After that whole axe debacle, perhaps! <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> One thing though, we could use a little backup. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Who was the highest ranking Freelancer after Carolina again? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Oh, surely you don't mean York? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You didn't think we were going to do this alone, did you? <font color=#FFFFFF> * <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York (b4b5d015@gateway/web/freenode/ip.180.181.208.21) has joined #halo-fanon <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Oh, bollocks. . . <font color=#6088A2> * <font color=#E1E1E1>Agent_Colorado (b4b5d015@gateway/web/freenode/ip.180.181.208.21) has joined #halo-fanon <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida checks something on his helmet. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> And there it is. ONI got word of the hit on Georgia. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I've been assigned to find him, no surprises there. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Do they have him yet? <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> I don't think so <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Either way, we've no time to tarry. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Hm. We could use one more Freelancer. <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida establishes contact with Agent Missouri. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Marshalling quite the cavalry, aren't we? <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida 's expression becomes serious as Missouri arrives. <font color=#4055CE>< <font color=#FFD800>Agent_Missouri <font color=#4055CE>> Agent_Florida, is it? <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida nods. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Lieutenant.

And failing to tell me ahead of time? That was simply foolish.

A little stab here, a little stab there.... <font color=#4055CE>< <font color=#FFD800>Agent_Missouri <font color=#4055CE>> But I'll leave that to the lucky bastards who get to 'talk' to you in the very near future <font color=#4055CE>< <font color=#FFD800>Agent_Missouri <font color=#4055CE>> Who knows?

With Carolina, I mean? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Always worrying? <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Yeah. Definitely. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> She worries about all of us, Wyoming. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> That's for sure. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> looks back up at Four-Seven-Niner standing over him. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I'd ask you not to make me worry, but I'd probably fret anyway. <Four-Seven-Niner> We all have our job to do. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Guess we've got to get used to it, eh? <Four-Seven-Niner> It's easier to take the risks yourself than to see someone else in that same position. <Four-Seven-Niner> It's something I never get used to. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> tries to remember where he's heard that, but another wave of pain forces him to frown. * Four-Seven-Niner tucks her helmet under the crook of her arm. <Four-Seven-Niner> Ever since we were put into the UNSC, things have been different. <Four-Seven-Niner> For every drop I make, I send in a team of troopers. <Four-Seven-Niner> And when the mission ends, there are always fewer that come back than the number that left. <Four-Seven-Niner> These Covenant guys don't mess around. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You've heard what they all say, then? That we can't win? <Four-Seven-Niner> I've heard it. I don't believe it. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> forces a defiant smile. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Neither do I. * Four-Seven-Niner smiles back. <Four-Seven-Niner> Good. * Four-Seven-Niner sighs. <Four-Seven-Niner> Guess I'll leave you to recover. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> 's hand strays to hers. * Four-Seven-Niner takes Wyoming's hand and gives it a firm squeeze. <Four-Seven-Niner> Take it easy, Reggie. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I'll see you soon, Sophie. * Four-Seven-Niner nods and walks out of the recovery bay. * Four-Seven-Niner (459ea99d@wikia/Sonasaurus) has left #halo-fanon <font color=#FFFFFF> * <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York rests his head in his hands. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Damn...takes me back to when I lost my eye. That was...painful. <font color=#FFFFFF> * Agent_Wyoming> looks on as the door closes, and sighs. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Sorry about that, York. I believe a bit of Texas' luck has rubbed off on me. I failed again. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> It's fine. We all make mistakes every now and then...and I did. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Did you see Georgia? <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Saw that tomahawk saw his arm straight off. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> He was in a bad way. Always is, really. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Yeah...sometimes I feel kinda bad for him. Hell, he was one of the lowest ranked agents and he was driven to mercenary work. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> York. . . I was going to help him escape. <font color=#FFFFFF> * <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York sharply turns his head. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> What? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I couldn't admit it to Butch, but. . . <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> You weren't there. Underground, with that. . . artifact. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Artifact...? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Georgia got to it first. Could have used it to make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> And he didn't. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> He recognized what it was. How the Director had planned to use it, and. . . <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> He knew what it really was. Something dangerous. Something that needed to be destroyed. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> And we, so foolishly, took it. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> If it wasn't that Tex needed it, I'd have helped him destroy the damn thing. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> But Carolina pleaded with him, and he. . . he let us have it. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I think he's a little like me, York. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> How...so? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I tried to run away, but he did. He actually could. The day Montana died, I saw you down there, fighting, and I admit. I wanted to leave you. <font color=#FFFFFF> * <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York tilts his head. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I had set out to leave it behind when I took that vacation with Sophie. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> But then I saw you in danger, and. . . <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I couldn't leave you. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> In a way, I hate that. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> I see what you're catching on to, now. After all...you didn't join Freelancer by choice. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> I can't say I know how it feels. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> But we're friends, Wyoming. We'll get through this and I want to see it through to the end. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> But Georgia. . . he has nothing left to go back for. And we're partly responsible. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> For C.T., for the artifact. . . <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> For his own flesh and blood, now. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> I envy him for being able to leave, York. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> But I hope he finds something to come back for. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> He did promise me that, once. <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> Really? <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Yes. I don't know that he remembers. . . but he did. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> Well. . . perhaps we should get some sleep <font color=#FFFFFF>< <font color=#D6B883>Agent_York <font color=#FFFFFF>> ...yeah. <font color=#FFFFFF><Agent_Wyoming> More Covenant to fight, and all that. <Jonathan_Ulan> (Muttering): You don't know what kind of rebel you're screwing with <Jonathan_Ulan> you're playing with napalm <font color=#0068B2> * Agent_Florida crosses his arms and stands before Ulan's cell. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> My superior officers have been eager to get their hands on you. <Jonathan_Ulan> I can tell * Jonathan_Ulan narrows his eyes <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> As are a lot of the Freelancers. <Jonathan_Ulan> But you have made a terrible mistake <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Yeah yeah, your rebel buddies will kill us all. <Jonathan_Ulan> Not just some, an entire planet <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> That'll be the day. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Don't you rebels realize you're no match for the UNSC? * Jonathan_Ulan chortles loudly <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> You guys so much as look at us the wrong way, we'll tear your ragtag bases apart. <Jonathan_Ulan> We are more than a match, given the right weapons <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Except you don't have those weapons, do you. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> Consider yourself lucky we just think of you as a distraction. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> The Covenant is a bigger priority right now. <font color=#0068B2><Agent_Florida> The rebel front are hardly a concern. <Jonathan_Ulan> Ulan, Jonathan N.
