Halo: Darkness Ascendant

Raevynn felt the obviously tension growing in the group. She too was begenning to feel bit uneasy. The spartan glanced over her shoulder at Davaran who stood behind her. She wanted to tell him to stay alert and keep his eyes open. Something was sure to happen and phycore was probably just toying with them right now. Instead of speaking she merely gave him a look of reassurance and turned around again.

((Okay here we go! - Mario))

Nuron walked over to one of the many doors, "Follow me." He said, turning to the door behind him, he stepped forward, at the same time opening the door, which opened silently, save for the whoosh of the air as it swung open, stopping by itself before it hit the wall. The next part of the installation was a long hallway, with a white marble floor, with pure black metal walls and ceiling.

Nuron walked in further, about two meters into the room, the right wall housed a long glass window that seemed to run the entire length of the wall. Inside the space behind the glass, were all their weapeons with their names labeling who each one belonged to, housed inside a hybrid fiberglass artifical material, then Nuron, surprisingly, could not identify. Another thing that had surprised him, was the fact that the Covenant with them, were not killed on sight, but then again, PsyCore tended to act in odd, but calculated and imformative ways.

Davaran looks at raevynn with a look the complete opposite... Keroth looks around as if in a panic or some form of anger leading to outrage, his head perfectly still.. but his eyes... sharply move from point to point around the room, as if expecting a flamethrower to appear and start bbqing everyone in the room.. "Hey man, it's gonna be fine!! they are... brothers! yeah, see? humans.."

Keroth looks at him.. "Yes.. these are starting to be my equivalent of... my fallen brothers, the ones who still believe in this.. great journey.." Davaran once again gives that look, the one of disarray, confusion, and lost hope. "Stuck on a planet... barely any food, attacked four times in the same day.. and now imprisoned by fellow man... I'm not a soldier damnit... I'm not a soldier."

Thats sorta what the PsyCore facility looks like, as of now. The yellow is a layer of shock absorbant liquid/gel. Possibly pee.

lol... I mean... wow lol

Once again, face with the uncertainty of plot continuation, Is it possibly to perhaps speed up? I mean, no offence but we spent more time posting about combat in less time, we've been in this room for..a few days now, not complaining, it's just, huon and me really dont have a plot in here.. and neither does my elites. It's just a big spartan reunion... all we do is watch, and.. watch.. I can only text out me standing there so many times.. so yeah 😄 sorry for "complaining"

lol I know, but Nuron wants to be the one to take us inside, and he is neglecting his posting. I've been the one posting for him. ^_^

The marines followed the spartans in.They gazed at the architecture of the area and kept walking through the base.They were still very tired but huon wanted to call for aid from any U.N.S.C. forces left in the area as they needed to get off this rock before the covenant glass it or something like they usually do...

Okay this is how this post works, because Liquid_Fire refuses to allow me to control your characters this is a description of the base and what is on every level.

There are four elevators that go to every level.

Level 1 – Mess Hall – The Floors are again gleaming white marble with jet black walls and ceiling, the lighting coming from the ridges in the ceiling, there are four tables with sleek, simple designs parallel to the elevator doors, the chairs of the same nature, the far end of the room has an island, with a full compliment of wines, liquors, ryes, beers, whiskies, and exotic drinks, on the other side of that is a chef’s dream kitchen with every possible tool and food in full stock. This level will always have 3 people in the kitchen capable of cooking for you, and four or five PsyCore going among their business eating or reading something in one of the lazy chairs along the left wall from the elevators.

Level 2 – Quarters – This were you sleep and watch movies that are in the Television set or whatever in your room. There is one main hallway (again white marble, and black walls with lighting in the ridges, the doors are opened by voice command, they open by side up, and each room has already been marked with your name in a gold plate, each room contains, a full queen sized bed with pillow top cover, and feather pillows, a snack bar, TV, work out apparatus, a wide variety of novels, and something each person has been wanting for a while (you guys can decide what you find in your rooms but be reasonable). As for the Covenant, they don’t get anything but not that we’re going to need to worry about it.

Level 3 – Weapons Range, Gym, and Battle & Test Quarters – The first main room is a workout room with lots of stuff (use your imagination and again white marble, black walls, lighting from ceiling ridges), the other half of the floor has wall then two doors, both halfway from the middle, the right door from the elevator contains a weapons range, the other side is four rooms with holo-simulators capable of doing anything if you program it and make the objects, but mainly used for battle and testing “things.”

Level 4 – Laboratory, Stasis Chambers, Armoury, and Life Support System Control – The main floor when you enter is blocked by a Glass door, before it opens the chamber you enter off the elevator is equipped with vents (floor and ceiling), spay nozzles, and another sensor sweeping system, once cleaned you enter the main room which is the Laboratory. The floor are not marble but some sort of fibreglass material with random electric currents visible, the lighting is by lamps or tools used by the PsyCore people, and used in only the areas in use. To the right is another glass wall with a door, with in is every weapon used in the past 50 years along with the awesome and the awkward, new designs of PsyCore (now we may or may not expand on this little idea), to the back there is another wall, two doors, left one leads to the Life Support System Control room. It has the engine and other things needed to keep the facility completely independent from the planet it is on (recycle, septic, moulding and assembly for products, spare parts, and ends, etc.). The other room has 5 Stasis Chambers for Spartans, just like on the ships.

Level 5 – Control Room – Is the same as the lab but the walls are all twice as thick and are coated with some silver metallic coloured alloy and the lighting is again coming through the ridges in the ceiling, the left side is elevated and has a glass wall with a door (with a handle, not automated), it is the conference and design room, the seat are all leather with plush cushioning, and a white marble table, and several computers and TV sets in the left wall. The other half of the front room on the right was two rows of desks with digital desktops (the desktop was actually capable of being used to move the mouse around and type stuff on the screen), the PsyCore people all had headsets on, the far end was again elevated but not blocked off with any walls, there is a heavy duty door at the far back right corner of the room, the rest of the elevated area is the Main desk for the Head PsyCore in command on the Facility.

As for that back room it contains a few top secret things to be released soon…

All the PsyCore people wear black leather outfits, sometimes have weird gizmos in hand, but all the same attitude as Neuron if not worse.

The ODST lowered their weapons, and walked around the group, heading down the hallway, to the far end, where the elavators were. They punched in some codes, and all four elevators opened after they arrived. "Everyone get inside the Elevators, all Elites in one, all the Grunts in one, and all the Humans in the other two. Spartan Zero One Zero, and Spartan One One Six, you will remain behind until there is enough room. The Elevators could not support your weight, plus the weight of others."

Ten nodded, "Well You PsyCore seem to be on top of everything, except being able to make things more typical for your own creations." He said the last part slowly, and glanced at Rae for a few seconds. Was she a PsyCore creation? He gazed at her for a few seconds more, pondering the question, he couldn't tell from her armor, or anything else... He blinked, realizing he was staring, and returned his eyes to the ODST.

"Once in the Elevators, you will be taken to the medical facilities in this station, all of you will be checked for injuries, and treated. We have to move fast people, it won't be long until the Covenant assault this station. Spartan Zero One Zero, your going to be taken to another part of the station to be treated."

That made sense, the medical facilities wouldn't be eqipped for him. Ten inhaled sharply for a second as memories of his past surfaced, and he blinked once before calming down, but now he was tense. "What about 116? I know she's not like me, but she's still a Spartan..." Ten voiced the question, maybe the answer would help him in his previous question.

The ODST looked at her for a second, "I don't know." He said, "We'll find that out soon."

The other PsyCore personelle spoke up, "I don't think our normal medical facilities can treat her...I don't know what kind of enhancements she has." He said.

Ten shook his head, "Well figure it out quick. That." He said, pointing to the wound in her shoulder from the stab of the plamsa sword, "Needs to be treated, I'm expecting you show her better treatment then you would...someone like me."

"With all due respect Major, you do not tell us what to do." The PsyCore said, fixing Ten in his eyes.

"No, I guess not. But that's not an order. Im telling you to do that, for everyone here. I dont care what you do to me, but you treat these people with every bit of care you have. They're not used to you." Ten found himself getting more hostile. This place reminded him of too many things. Bad things.

"Your squad mates will be treated well Ten, don't worry." The ODST Sarge said, "And even your Covenant, we'll do everything we can for them to be treated perfectly." He shot a look at the PsyCore, "We'll make sure of it."

The PsyCore glared, this was showing too much, way too much. Just falling short of a total distaster. Hopefully the others her besides Ten and Nuron wouldn't jump to any conclusions. When he spoke again his voice was cold, even, but ice cold. "Get moving, now."

*I really dont mind you "controlling" my characters Keroth and Davaran, to an extent, As in, having them move.. like if a table pops out of the wall, I dont want you waiting an hour for me to post "They then moved".. that's a bitgaysmacktarded.. So yeah, basic movement, no big deal, just make sure it's obvious and have their names posted, cause when I come back to post, I'd like to know where my characters are at. I personally hate controlling other peoples characters, but when ten shutdown I wasn't about to just sit there, I had three strong elites and a bunch of NPC marines, figured I'd use em, so sorry LF.. and sorry Nuron for not making this clear from earlier.. Use em basicly.. Dont feel held back, No one is really asking them questions anyway, but just remember this about the two of mine, keroth will stick by dav pretty much anywhere he goes, and vice versa.. But dav also likes technology and aircraft, a little too much, He'd rather be taking apart a new gun to see how it works in a battle then actually fighting..

Atkins was tired now and hungry his body ached from the days he had gone without any care he was ready to be treated once he reached the medical facility the psycore people checked up on him. He felt okay besides a few wounds he waqs stitched up from a large wound on his leg he hadnt even realised it though he was distracted from the pain during combat though he slightly remembered an ache in his leg.

The psycore doctor reasured him that the treatment they were doing wouldnt hurt a bit they were using some kind of hot plasma ooze to wipe out the germs in his leg, arm and other deep wounds on him so to avoid an amputation. Though they hadnt worked on many ODST's before or he thought maybe he was just sissy when it came to things like needles in war he had things to take his mind off the pain but not in medical facilities. When the poored the plasma on his leg he let out a yell. His leg ached in more pain then from the blast it seeped down into his leg it looked like a soda with fizz on it, the fizzy plasma soon disappeared.
"Now that wasnt so bad was it?" The psycore doctor asked. Atkins looked at him with an angry and irriatated look on his face. He groaned then finally relaxed and felt another thing of smoldering hot ooze on his arm. "When will this day end" he thought to himself

((Okay this is what I am doing for the rest of the time in the facility mostly so post what you want so we can get to the next……you know, hehehe))

Nuron passed on going to the Medical Part of the Lab and headed for the Armoury. Once he got in he again connected his vest to a computer consol "Requesting updated software check…" afterwards he got a couple of shots of some weird chemical compounds and a glass of charged liquid-alloy to enhance his nervous system, and muscle reflexes. He grabbed an apple and a shot of whisky then went down to the weapons range, perfect with pistols, Battle, and Sniper Rifle, Nuron was back.

On his way back to an elevator he saw something in the Guns Display (of every weapon and new design). He walked in side up to it, it was Sniper rifle. It had a completely different scope, colour night vision, thermal, motion, plus ally, enemy and unknown scanner, and much more, the barrel was a little longer, but underneath was a grenade launcher, adjustable for human and Covenant ones, "It can fire over a kilometre with the new speed adjustments, so it doesn't blow up before it gets there." said one of the PsyCore engineers who just walked in. "It looks like it has-" Nuron said before he interrupted saying, "Has two reloads? Yes, we found that with our capabilities there was no need to stop in between changing clips so, we made that you can change clips while firing with the other one." Nuron's eyebrows lifted with his grin, "I will take this, but I want the scope modification adapted to my optical in-" "Nuron, we knew as soon as you showed up what you needed." he interrupted again, while opening up a drawer along the floor, which he pulled out an urban camo-coloured Sniper rifle with a regular scope but it had a longer barrel, and there was something built in the shoulder rest, "It's a cloaking device, had the new recruits have working on it since you got here, and, here," handing over goggles that looked like old welding goggles, "these goggles should suffice for finding the gun if you drop with the cloak on and, it finds cloaked elites much easier, it has a light that you can’t see until it hits the cloak matrix of something. And you gun has a different cloaking matrix then the elites because we couldn’t replicate it without, complications so you goggles can find it in a snap." The engineer smiled.

After sending the gun up with a full compliment of ammo to the Glass hall case he headed down to the Command Floor. On the far end he shook hands with a couple of the people at the main Command desk, afterwards he and one of them walked into the back room, the one separated from the rest of the facility...

Huon was being treated for his plasma wound.It wasnt much and other marines had worse but the entire treatment was horrible.It didnt hurt or cause any pain he just refused to cooperate.A doctor had to help hold him down to put in some kind of ooze to help heal the wounds.IIt was a foamy type of paste and soon the doctor's were finished and a bandage was put on huons wound.The doctors said no but huon felt it would be for the better because he was very skeptical of thier operation.Soon after a ODST led him to the mess hall where he was able to acquire a glass of grape juice from some planet huon never heard of and he got a ham sandwich.He sat down at one of the tables and ate the sandwich and took a few sips of water and then he leaned back and looked back at the entire experiance.....

He thought of the mothers who would recieve KIA messages from UNSC officers and how wives would be getting them.The marines kids would wonder when dad will come home.Also he thought of how lucky he was...Surviving a pelican crash,Getting through a destroyed outpost full of covenant,holding out in an office building,going through the town and then defending a small defensive position against a full blown covenant assault.He was blessed he thought...

Davaran eyed Nolas' new rifle... easily seeing the changes.. "Um.. can I see where this was made? I wanna check that out.." He stares at who ever hears him that can direct him..

Finally Atkins wounds were taken care of and before he went to the armory he went to the mess hall he grabbed a couple of sandwiches and sat down to eat he had a beer as well no matter how much he ate he always seemed to still be hungry so once he was done eating he grabbed some sandwiches and a beer then walked out he went to his room to put down some of his heavy equipment. Once he had sstuck his food in the fridge he headed down to the armory where they had almost every weapon imaginable. He headed straight for some weapons he enjoyed using the most he got two pistols and put them in his holsters then grabbed a shotgun and a sniper rifle he headed to the range where he fired his gun a bit he mainly fired his pipstols and sniper rifle though, and then went to workout he tried working with almost everything he had gotten alot stronger since when he left for the marines. After some time he was wooped he headed to his room sat down turned on the TV and rested after a long day of work

Huon completed his meal and then went to his room and sat down and pulled out a picture of his wife and kids.Then he layed down for a hour and slept a little bit then he woke up from a dream about his family.He was fatigued and then he got up and opened the door and walked down the hall.It all seemed like a science fiction movie this place.Or the house of a man who had won a endless amount of money and loved to make his house look like the inside of a research facility.He went down the hall and knocked on atkins room...

Atkins eyes shot open he didnt remember going to sleep in the psycore facility. He got up and went to the door he opened it up to see Huon.
"Whats going on?" Atkins asked with a puzzled look onn his face.

"Well we have been brought to this base and are being held here against our own will.We cam here from a battle and now we have the enjoy the good food,great shooting range and comfortable rooms we have been given.I know its horrible.....Well anyways ive come to discuss the possibility of a attack on this base.The Men here assure me that a direct assault on this base is nearly impossible but i dont really trust them...."

Huon sat down in a small chair across the room and took out a small map of the facility he had gotten from a ODST in the mess hall.

"Yeah, well i dont know if these guys have been up against hundreds of covenant." He said "The map, does it have a way the covenant can get in or something?" He asked.

A message came over the stations communications systems, "All personelle, the Covenant are expected to attack within half an hour, all people treated of injuries are to go to the armor, to suit up with full combat armor, and weapons. Anyone caught wandering will be moved forceibly to their ordered desitnations."

The PsyCore engineer looks at Davaran, "It's a custom make, it's not yet been totally tested in a real combat situation, and it's nothing near cost effective to produce." He looks at Davaran for a few more seconds, "We have one backup." He said, "We never have one of one thing." He takes the second rifle and hands it to him, "It's not a modified Sniper Rifle, it uses few of the old parts, it's pretty much a completely new weapon, though it looks like simple add ons from the outside, take a closer look, your eyes should get a good understanding."
