Flashback #1

1/15/08

INT. Second floor hallway of South Ocean Middle School - day.

The fifth period bell goes off and the entire hallway becomes flooded with students.

Persephone Brown has a sense of urgency in her step, and seems to be constantly looking over her shoulder as she makes her way down the hall to the cafeteria.

INT. School cafeteria - day

Persephone sits at a table alone with a paranoid look on her face as she anxiously waits for her sister.

All of a sudden a round red object smacks her in the back of the head.

Persephone clutches the back of her head in pain.

STEVEN
Go to hell Persephone!​

Persephone looks down at the round projectile that had been thrown at her to see it had been none other then a pomegranate.

SABRINA
Go ahead! Eat it!​

Persephone looks over towards the table of cackling eighth graders it’d come from and throws it back at them, hitting the one named Steven square in the jaw.

Upon doing this Persephone is met with a bombardment of pomegranates from the other students sitting at that table.

She starts flinging the fruits back at them but her efforts don’t tend to do much except resupply them with more pomegranates.

Cut to Rose entering the cafeteria with a sense of urgency as the second warning bell rings.

She notices the commotion that’s going on and proceeds to alert a teacher standing outside the lunchroom.

Cut back to Persephone getting a black eye after being smacked in the face with another pomegranate.

MR. MENDEZ
What on earth do you think you’re doing?​

The eighth graders jump out of their seats.

STEVEN
She started it Mr. Mendez!​

MR. MENDEZ
What are you, in elementary school Steven? This is the second time this year you’ve caused a fight in this school!​

STEVEN
But…

MR. MENDEZ
No buts! Mrs. Pickford will figure out what to do with you!​

Mr. Mendez turns to Rose.

MR. MENDEZ
Ms. Brown, I suggest that you escort your sister to the nurse immediately.​

ROSE
Yes sir!​

MR. MENDEZ
As for the rest of you, main office! NOW!​

INT. Nurse’s office – day

Persephone and Rose sit next to each other in the waiting area.

Rose turns to Persephone noticing she’s still clutching her eye.

ROSE
Does it still hurt?​

Persephone nods.

ROSE
I’m really sorry I couldn’t be there in time. I had a meeting with my guidance counselor last period, that’s why I was running late.​

Persephone crosses her arms and remains silent.

ROSE
Look Perse! Again I’m sorry but you’re not always going to be able to rely on me to come to your rescue.​

Persephone looks at her with tears in her eyes.

PERSEPHONE
I hate middle school!

ROSE
Me too, hell my sixth grade experience was just as bad as yours if not worse! I can at least guarantee you the bullies who picked on me didn’t know their Greek mythology.​

Persephone gives a light chuckle.

ROSE
It’s just that I’m going to be moving up to the high school next year so I don’t want you to be too unprepared to deal with your own problems.​

PERSEPHONE
I don’t know what to do though! What if someone else starts bullying me?

ROSE
Whatever you do don’t get into a fight with them. The superintendent doesn’t care if you’re the victim; if you’re the first one to make the argument physical you still get punished, and I’m telling you this from personal experience; in school suspension is not fun! If someone is harassing you, just tell the teacher or the principle or anyone else of authority, it’s worked for me in the past.​

Rose puts her hand on Persephone’s shoulder.

ROSE
Hey. This place may be an intellectual landfill where no one comes out unscathed, but you know what? You’ll make it out; everyone eventually makes it out. Besides, I might not always be there for you in school, but if something is bothering you, you can always talk to me at home.​

Persephone gives her sister a hug.

ROSE
I’ll tell you what. After school today you can take your frustration out on me by beating me in another Halo match, deal?​

PERSEPHONE
Deal.​

Memory Log #6

I had hoped that our shared experience would bring us closer then ever, but only a few days after my birthday, Lizzy seemed to be, in a manner of speaking, distant. She seemed like she was hiding something, something important, and my only clue was she refused to come to my house anymore. I asked my uncle if he had said something to upset her when she was over the last time, but he reminded me that he talked to her as little as possible. I confronted Lizzy, telling her that if there was something wrong, she could tell me, but she insisted that this was the one thing she couldn't tell me, and that it was something she had to handle on her own.

It was a week later that Elizabeth didn't show up for school. Concerned, I immediately went to her house to see if she was sick, but to my terror, I was greeted by her concerned parents and several police officers; Elizabeth was missing. Numerous search parties went out, flyers were put up, her parents showed up on T.V. asking for information about her, and even the student's from my class who had picked on the two of us joined the search. Then, after nearly a weak of fruitless, desperate searching, two police officer came to my house to question my uncle. They claimed Lizzy's parents found her diary, and my uncle was mentioned several times, in a very negative light, in the last few pages.

It took every ounce of willpower I had to wait until the police left to say anything, but the moment they were gone, I hounded my uncle with my own questions. He denied any involvement with Lizzy's disappearance, but after years of putting up with his brutal honesty, I could tell when he was lying. After over an hour of yelling and screaming, he suddenly started laughing hysterically. He confessed that Elizabeth had caught his eyes, and my attraction to her made him want her even more. Whats worse, he said a week ago, Elizabeth confronted him, telling him she was going to expose to everyone what he did to her, that he couldn't scare her from exposing the truth any longer, and he made sure that would never happen.

I exploded in rage, tears surging from my eyes as I pounced at him. All those years of martial arts training was coming to use as I viciously attacked him. I quickly gained the upper hand as he learned that I had been holding back for the last few years, and he found himself unable to keep up with my speed. For every attack he dodged or blocked, another hit it's mark. In desperation, he took a direct punch to the gut so he could get a chance to grab and throw me, giving him enough time to grab a sword from the wall.

The grin on his face and look in his eyes told me he was serious, and I admit, I was terrified. He was incredibly skilled, and I was unarmed. As he swung rapidly at me, he laughed with a level of insanity that struck fear in my heart. He taunted me, describing Elizabeth's body in detail, explaining exactly what he had done to her, insisting she enjoyed the whole thing, and even telling me where he had buried her. I knew he was trying to enrage me, to get me to make a mistake. I knew I couldn't let him get to me, but when he told me Elizabeth said I had inspired her to talk to him, a faltered long enough for him to slice my left arm.

I stood there, cradling my arm as my blood formed a pool on the ground. My uncle laughed even louder, complaining about how hard it would be to clean up after me. He charged forward, ready to thrust the sword into my chest. As he approached, time seemed to slow down, and I considered doing nothing. I could accept death, and join Elizabeth and my family. But as he neared me, I realized I would shame my Lizzy with such thoughts, and remembered my uncles tendency to leave his right side open. I ducked to my left as he reached me, and kicked him hard in the side, shattering his ribs. As he recoiled in pain, I struck his hands with a high kick, sending his sword flying up. I caught it, and slashed him across the chest. He fell onto his back, and before he could react, I jumped onto his stomach and plunged the sword into his chest.

As I knelt on top of him, grasping the sword in my quivering hands, the memories of the thugs that I had slaughtered on the day my family died, the memories I had suppressed up to that point, came flooding back. All of the sudden, I was hit with the immense gravity of what I had just done. I, a girl of only sixteen, had already taken six lives, and not only was I about to take a seventh, but it was the life of my last remaining relative. As I looked into his pleading eyes, I thought 'its not too late, he can still be saved!'.

But the bastard couldn't help but smile when he saw the panic in my eyes, seemingly content to die if it meant my suffering. As I stared at his grinning face, I briefly saw an image of Elizabeth's smiling face flash before my eyes, and with the knowledge that I would never see her again, I ripped the sword from his chest. He howled with pain as his blood sprayed out of him, covering my body like an even coat of paint. I just sat there, staring at that ugly face of his for nearly a half an hour after he stopped moving.

When I could finally find the will to move, I stood up, only to fall down, woozy from my loss of blood. I climbed back to my feet, and got to work dressing my wound. I grabbed a cloth to cover my uncle, and spent an hour cleaning myself up. Luckily, my uncle didn't believe in banks, so he had about ¥30,000 laying around. I grabbed the money, packed some cloths, as well as a few personal effects, and wrote a note explaining everything for when my uncle's students found him the following day.

As I left, I gave my uncle one last look of anger for destroying everything. Even in death, his malice follows me to this day.

Well, since nothing is going on around base I have nothing interesting to say,so I think I might as well talk about some of the people I met here.


So ladies first,there are four chicks here but I no two of them,and the first one is the toughest person here and her name is Ayame Kasagi,yea she is one hell of a fighter and one hell of a shot she is tough,and very durable,how ever she constantly doubt her self and thinks that she doesn't belong here,I swear to the gods I don't no why she keeps doubting her self she is one hell of a solider,once gets over her doubt I would have no problem following her in to battle.


The next on my list is,Anna Stone a engineering genius,she is probable the best engineer here,until the got rid of her now when she first got here she could not hit the broad side of a barn,HELL she would have missed the barn but she is and incredibly fast learn and the way she trains she could be one deadly solider in the near future.


Next is Colin weger my only true friend on this base,he is a nice guy probable the nieces guy here,he recently went in to the field and got promoted to a heavy and unlike me he has a family,a wife and a kid something I wish I can have,but I no I won't I wish him luck in his future here and after this war.


next is AAron Bryant,I don't like him manly because he is a catholic nut,he truly thinks that god is gonna save us form this war,that is stupid but then again I don't believe in god............Let me say that again I don't believe in the catholic god,I believe in the Greek gods and that's all I want to say on that subject.


and that all I have to say so see yea.

[Aristeus]

Jorn Lemonade is sitting at a table in the office, reading some papers and writing something down on a blank paper next to him. He looks up as Colin walks into his room. "Hey Colin." he sais with a dry tone.

Colin smiles
"Hey! How is it going buddy?"
Colin looks around for anyone else

"Okay I guess..." Jorn sighs "What about you?"

"Oh you know, alot going on, lots of drama and action, by the way you did good last mission. Safed my ass out there, sorry but I still have to get used to the fact that I have no sight to look down, I have to aim this big gun without aiming really, and the recoil ugh do not get me started on that. Anyway thank you again."

"So how do you like my office?"

"Yeah looks neat, not like you to be all this serious but I guess this is war and we need people to look up to."
Colin takes a sit
"Anyway the reason why I'm here, I think I might be going crazy, lately I have been really agressive and I have know Idea why, its not like me to be angry at someone. Do you maybe know what is going on?"

"Well I'm not sure.... When did it start?"

"During Trial, I raged at Mac's lies."

"Are you sure that this is a problem? It could be over in a couple of days." Jorn stands up and walks around with his head down thinking. "If you are sure there is more going on... then you might want to go to the medical bay. The aliens could have caused it for all we know right? " Jorn said as he stoped and looked at Colin who's still sitting in his chair.

"Yeah maybe you are right, I could use a break from all this comotion anyway."

"Just take a break I'd say, it will probably be gone by then. But keep me updated, if it gets worse then we have to take more extreme measures. You may even want to ask the commander for some fresh air." He sits down again. "Oh wait!" Jorn says suddenly. "Euhm.... nevermind, just keep me updated."

"Will do buddy, so what about you, you seem to be diffrent for some reason."

Jorn is silent for a second "Well yeah, I'm a Captain now... And I felt I didn't really act like one, so I'm trying to be a better Captain. I guess it's more visible than I thought." Jorn chuckles

"Yeah, but I can totaly understand it, I have to be more of a leader too know that I'm heavy, if Zhang ever get's injured I have to fill in and live up to my superior Zhang since everybody will be expecting that from me."

"Yeah, we've all changed, and we all need to take our responsibilities now." Jorn looks around a bit. "My office is still pretty empty. I should find some things to decorate it."

"How about a sectoid head?"

"Nah, probably not, then it will probably feel like it's staring at me. Would be pretty creepy. And te research probably needs it. I'm not the type that keeps trophys anyway. I was thinking about a plant, just a little bit of green."

"Sounds great, I still would go with the sectoid head, make it stare at the one sitting across from you."

Jorn chuckles "Very funny. I could place one of the plasma weapons in a glass case, but I think we need it. Now I have some other things to do, so I wanted to start working soon. "

"Yeah I got you buddy, if you ever need any help call me, I think some paper work could calm me down a bit."

"Yeah, see you later."

To: X-COM Major Shaojie Zhang
From: Project X-COM Mail Room
Subject: Unusual Letter - Update

Sir, we apologize for our repeated pestering of you (we know how busy you are), we simply wish to update you on the subject we messaged you about several days ago. Not only were we able to get the Russian Armed Forces to resend their message, we were able to get an original copy of the included letter, which we translated with our updated systems.

In addition, another search through the databases, including the female soldiers this time, turned up one recruit with the same last name as the man mentioned in the letter. Although the letter is addressed to "Antony Stone", and is clearly referring to a man, we do have a recruit named "Anna Stone", and her former serial number in the Russian Military was included in the title of the message.

We need only the approval of a high ranking officer such as yourself to send Ms. Stone the letter. We await your prompt response.

Thank You,
X-COM Mail Room/Message Censorship Committee

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

To the man I hope will help bring us together again.

This may seem to be an odd letter, and I desperately hope you will hear me out, even though I would not blame you if you didn't. I am desperately searching for someone. I am afraid I can not tell you what her name is, or even what my name is, for to do so would put her in danger if you are not the person I seek. However, if you are the one I seek, you will know who I refer to, and hopefully, either you or she will know who I am.

If this message has reached the wrong person, then please disregard this letter, and pretend you never received it. If you believe yourself to be the correct person, however, please write me a letter telling me you received my letter, as well as who you are, who she is, who you believe I am, and a more appropriate address if this letter was not sent to the most direct location.

I pray that I will hear from you soon.

Memory log #3

So when I was nineteen I went back home,and after nine months of mostly hunting and working on my aim and endurance my dad come in to my room and says "son we need to have a talk"and I asked him is it the sex talk because we all ready talked about it,thank god he told me that it wasn't he said that it's more important then that,he put his hand on my shoulder and says to me,"Axton your nineteen years old it's time for your trial".and when he told me that I was excited. The trial is a right of passage in my family you are given a knife one rifle some matches and some camping gear,now I have to do is survive in the Alaskan wilderness for the entire winter until spring,once it's spring you must kill three or more bears.


Now the rules are you can scavenge from outer campers for supplies ammo are another weapon,next you must show what animals you killed during your trial by ether skinning them or showing there bones horns or claws,next if you did scavenge other camper/hunter gear I can keep it of I want to.


So after my dad gave me the rules,he gave me week to get ready and buy some gear a weapon and a knife,and after that my dad sent me on my way,and after four months of hard winter and scavenging weapons and killing many animals I understand why my family does this,you see this is to test your willpower you mettle,you see hash conditions bring out what a person relay is and how far will you go to survive, will you give up your morals to live,or keep your morals and die put keeping your identity and never change no mater what.


I chose to keep my morals,because with out them i'm just a murderer or a wild dog,so when spring came I killed sixteen wolves,twenty moose's and three buffalo s,and now that it was spring my true test started because other people will also will be hunting bears to so i'm gonna have compilations,but that did not stop me,after nine weeks of hunting I finally reached my goal and went back home.


After I went home my father brought my entire family to Alaska to bring me in to the family circle,and we celebrated my return,and after my celebration was over I showed my dad every thing I killed skinned and scavenged,and he was impressed on what I collected,he congratulated me,and branded our family emblem on my left arm,a shield in the back and a wolf head in the front,it meant defend the pack defend your family no matter who they are,and on that day I also got my first tattoo like every one before me I got it on my back,I got a wolf leader on my back,it proves that I am no normal man I am the alpha hunter,I will defend my family and friends with my life and if you want to dethrone me you have to take me down.

Everyone's been quiet around base but I guess when you're team leader has something to do with a mission the atmosphere can't be too great. I am nearly about to leave the infirmary but Booker has to stay in longer but I was kinda glad we both got injured instead of one of us cos no one visited us in the infirmary so we talked for a couple of days but I should expect us high ranks taking the hits for the rookies but it feels good to know you helped someone. I got out of the infirmary for a while and saw that someone left some cigars near the memorial, guess there may be another smoker in hear but looking at the memorial really made me sad when I saw Presariov's and Space Paddy's name; I still remember our first mission months ago and look at where we are now. I think that Booker may not be able to do on the next mission which is scaring me because Booker is our best sniper and not having him will certainly show when we go on the mission but at least we still have Zhang.

 

[PrismaCube]

(Alright everybody I'm back for today that is, tommorow I might also have time to post something because I'm tired of studying and need some free time, plus I don't think one day without studying will set me back really far. Anyway this is the mission Journal from the First France Mission so dont get that mixed up with the new one.)

Name: Colin Weger
Current Rank: Recruit
Mission Name: Operation Cold Palace
Mission Objective:
1. Sweep the abduction site and identify threats
2. Neutralize all hostile targets
Kills this Mission: 0
Total Kills since joining X-COM: 1
Status: Feelin unskilled

I have been hitting the shotting range more often lately, I still have to get used to the big gun's I will now carry around me for a while, I have to say aiming the rocket is not really hard, its the recoil on the big gun that is giving me a hard time. Anyway I seem to be calm again, having no reason to feel anger and the need to kill, which I find good. Anyway I should probably hit the range again and...

*Alarm goes off*

Just as I was about to go to the shotting range the alarm goes off and I get called down, this time we are heading to France, I can not really shoot with the big gun yet, but let's hope I hit anyway.

We arrived at a construction site, you can tell the aliens were here, the place was a mess, human corpses covered in green slim everywhere, it's a sad sight for my eyes, none the less I have to stay focused. Upon our arrival we shortly after engaged in combat with some floaters hiding behind a construction trash bin. Zain took out one in a flash and Jorn ran in and finished the other one, truely being the great general he is. I knew I had to cover the flanks so I check inside one of the building and saw three thinman. We reacted quickly and all got into cover.

Booker being the good sniper he is got the shot of on one of the guy's, while the other two got the second one, but they did not watch there backs and got flanked, but dealt with that pretty good. We all moved up some more and I was on the front covering all behind me.

Then Anja reported something moving on the roof, shortly after that something jumped down from the roof, it was a new alien, we took our shot's but missed since we coudnt really see them clearly, they took there shots and missed them all but it was now more clear to see what they are, if anything they are the heavy cavalary of the alien's.

I caught two of them close together and thought this would be good to shot my rocket launcher and so I did. They took that shoot in the face and survived. I can't believe it. But I did do some damage because Zain ran in and shot the guy like as if he was made out of paper, so did Joel. Made me feel good in the end. Booker disabled the other aliens gun giving Jorn and Anja an opertunantiy to flank.

Anja spotted two other Floater's, I ran close to one and took a shot but missed completly, let's just say I knew this was going to happen, the recoil on this is overpowerd. But my buddy Jorn safed my ass, I have to thank him for that later, I always knew he would safe my ass someday.

The new alien then threw a gernade, I think it was a gernade, it exploded and the explosion was big so yeah I think I would call it an Alien Gernade. I ran up to try and kill him but a wall was in the way, so instead I tried breaking the wall which did not work so well. Anyway we survived that and Anja killed the new Alien so all was good. I defently need some more practice with the bug gun.

You two reminded me of my daughter and I thank you for that, I surely would have gone insane missing her. It was fun meeting you two and I hope you will only get respect from now on since you both deserve it. I'm glad I could help you during the trial with Persephone, Ayame. You are a strong girl and will someday become a great mother if you will ever get married. I mean it really, it does not matter who you marry I do not judge on that but either way whoever you do marry will have a great wife and hopefuly be a great wife too. As for you Anna I'm really sorry I could not help you to find your family after this but I still hope you will reunite with him, thank you for being one of the first person to talk to me here at base. Keep Ayame close to you, she loves you over everything I can see that in her eye's, if I were you I would make sure to never lose her."

"My name is Colin Weger. Jorn! You are a great leader and even a better friend. Do not let anyone tell you diffrently. As long as you have a shotgun you will sweep the field and lead the charge without the commander doubting you. I thank you for all those chess matches and helping me with my bloodlust. In my opinion you should make sectoids woppelheads, it's good to keep as a trophy on your new well earned desk. I also leave you my chess board, I never told you this but I got this board from my great grandfather. Keep it safe and play alot it will sure help you focus on other things. If you could take care of my familie after the war is over I would forever be greatful even if I'm not here anymore."

"My name is Colin Weger. Persephone we just meet but I'm glad we did, I can't say to much about you but you keep my two girls safe. It was my pleasure to help you get rid of that Mac. But remeber that every stranger is just a friend, there is no reason to stay mad at anyone. Also I know we just talked recently about losing friends in the field. Make sure that not everybody will have to go through this again. But don't let my death be your desision not to make friends, because in the end its still worth it."

"My name is Colin Weger. To the rest I would like to say thank you alot, I did not have all the time to meet all of you and some of you I only meet once sadly, none the less I hope you will all carry on and change this world for the better."

"My name... I was born on this World, my familie is you. I leave you all and in the end I'm nothing."

Colin smiles at the camara for the last time and then the screen turns black...

Axton is shown destroying his room,punching walls and flipping over his desk GOD DAMN IT HE'S GONE MY ONLY FRIEND ON THIS DAMN PLANET IS GONE DEAD,KILLED BY WHAT MAGIC PLASMA BULLETS,..........ok let me calm down and talk about what happened.So we went back to France for whatever reason, probably to take out the rest of the aliens that may have gotten away.Colin used his rocket to take out two mutons and Booker took out the last one,the rest of the mission was pretty basic nothing to difficult to handle.

Next we went too china to place transponders on a subway train in order to distract the ship,I don't relay no the aliens did not take this lightly and they brought out a crap ton of mutons and thin men,and we handled them pretty easily,until one thin men I don't no how he did it but,he managed to shoot his gun through a fucken bathroom and managed to kill Colin.



I swear to every last alien,when I finally get on the battlefield,I'm shoot you blow you up and kill ever last one of you until I find your leader,and when I find it. I AM GONNA MAME YOU,AMPUTATE YOU AND SKIN YOU ALIVE WITH OWN GOD DAMN TEETH AND CLAWS AND IF ANY ALIENS GET IN MY WAY IN DOING SO, THEY WILL GET THE SAME EQUAL TREATMENT AS THERE FUCKING BOSE.

Non-Combat Log 10 :

The Engineers just finished building these... Laser Rifles, I was able to get my hands on one and try it out, these things are easily the most accurate weapons I have ever seen, I'm going to have to practice Reloading and Shooting these weapons a lot if I want to get a hang of them because no doubt when I get into the field he will issue me one of them.

The Nightmare I had Last night was... different from the last one... It showed a Huge Ship flying overtop of a city, and what looked like a Grid on top of this train, the grid had these strange Star like symbols on it, a few on top of the train and a few around, But I woke up after that part...
Ayame is getting worried about my Nightmares... Normally I would tell her to calm down... That it's nothing... But after my Dream about the Cryssalid I'm not so sure... What could this new dream mean? What is the deal with this train? So many questions and not an answer to be found...

I keep hearing voices in my head whenever I get near the Science Labs... They just get louder and louder the closer I get to it... Ughh I wonder if something they got in there is causing this... So I decided to ask around to find out if the science Team got any new artifacts recently, and sure enough one of the boys in command told me that they brought some sort of "Shard" back from one of their most recent missions... I don't know what this Shard is or does... but it just might be why I keep hearing these creepy voices...
Good thing I can't understand them... The voice talks in this strange language that I've never heard before... I don't know what they are trying to tell me or if they are even talking to me on purpose... Questions... Questions... Questions...

Well I suppose I'll end this log here... I have to go down to the Med-Bay for another Exam...

Great, I was just thinking that we could go on without losing another man and then Colin dies and the thing is that I was quite good friends with him and that double muton kill with the rocket was amazing. It gets quite lonely with just me and Booker in our dorm ever since Paddy and Presariov were KIA but the other dorms seem more lively. I got my new laser rifle and that thing sure packs a punch against those aliens but I hear those light plasma rifles we have our even better but they will take a month to research. I didn't get many kills in our recent missions but I think that my rank does give me some authority around the base but I don't want to abuse it and speaking of authority, Booker is now colonel which means he outranks Zhang but I still think that Zhang is a better leader to the team cos Booker isn't very leader-like and it would be hard for him to adapt to the role. Man, I saw Axton (one of the unassigned recuits) going mental when he saw Colin's dead body get dragged out of the skyranger. I hope my fellow comrades will not suffer what Colin had to suffer, we are giving ourselves to our earth and we will protect it till our dying breath.

Non-combat log:

John is visibly angry and currently pacing around the memorial.

" Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Oh man...I cant believe a week ago I was deluded enough to think we would actually win this lopsided fuck-fest of a war. I get goaded into a sense of false security from trivial shit like new armour, laser guns, finally starting to turn around my family life...."

"...and for what?"

"I tell you what. For us to loose three country's, have two of our best severely injured, and for Colin to....Christ...."

John suddenly turns around and kicks the cabinet, scattering various mementos and shattering the shot glasses lined up.

"WHY DID WE THINK WE COULD WIN FOR EVEN A SECOND!? WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS!?"

John leans against a wall and slumps down into a sitting position.

"He was my roommate....he shouldn't have been. He should have spent the last of his, well our, days with his daughter. Enjoying what little time we had left with his family. heck. The only people here should be people like me, people with nothing left for them in the world, so we can stall the inevitable enough for people like Colin and his family to come to terms with whats happening. To come to terms with the extinction of our species..."

John gets up and slowly walks to the cabinet, quickly returning the mementos to their rightful spot. He then digs out his PCB pendent and places it on the cabinet.

"Colin...your relationship with your family reminded me of one I lost. So I suppose I'll leave this with you, I have good memories of you and you sounded like you have good memories of your family, so I'll entrust you with the memories of mine. After all its not like they're going to truly forgive me."

John starts to walk out of the memorial.

" I'll make sure your stuff returns to your family."

Video Log:

The recorder shows a very distraught Ayame, her eyes bloodshot, her face stained with tears. She starts to say something, but seems unable to form the words. After a moment, she walks over to her bed and pulls out a small box from beneath it, which she carries over to the camera. She opens it, pulling out a tall white bottle with a flower pattern on it and a small cup. She opens the bottle, pours its contents into the cup, and quickly drinks it, shuttering slightly after swallowing. She then gives the camera a frustrated look, and refills her cup before turning the camera off.

 

[Sharkdragon96]

The following is a collaboration between Sharkdragon96 and PrismaCube that takes place before the events of the transponder mission.

INT. The toilet room located outside the barracks.

Persephone is seen with a mop and soap bucket scrubbing the bathroom floors.

Colin comes into the bathroom, upon noticing Persephone he smiles.

COLIN
"Oh hello, I see you doing your work."​

PERSEPHONE
“Yup! It's far from being the most glamorous job on the planet, but... Is it bad that I don't feel any regret for doing what I did to deserve this?”​

Colin laughs.

COLIN
"Here let me help you, got nothing better to do anyway."​

Colin takes another mop and starts helping.

COLIN
“If you want my opinion I would have done the same thing, maybe even make him lose a few teeth's in the process.”​

PERSEPHONE
“HA! That would’ve been pretty satisfying. Though in all seriousness I still can't help but feel I may have acted a little bit... Okay VERY unprofessional. I knew, even while it was happening that there was no way he could've really hurt me. I mean I've had three years of training under my belt meanwhile that guy couldn't fight for shit! I guess he was right about my short temper, I just let my intolerance for people like him get the best of me and here I am now!"​

COLIN
"Well that is what makes you special, even if it gives you trouble sometimes it makes you for who you are. But just because you hurt someone who does not know how to defend himself does not mean that you are short tempered, the guy had it clearly coming, you just reacted to his stupidity faster then Ayame or me for example. I was gonna hit him as well but he decided it was best to leave Ayame alone and ran into his room, but if he wouldn’t have, I would probably be the one who would have been accused, and I probably would also have been in the wrong. So in the end if you look at it from my view, you did the right thing and served justice to that Mac guy."​

PERSEPHONE
“I guess you’re right, thanks.”​

The two continue to mop without saying anything for a minute.

PERSEPHONE
“So I heard you got promoted.”​

COLIN
"Oh yeah, its great, I feel like people will be looking up to me more now, I got a big role to fill, I want to look good to my superior Zhang, I wouldn’t do him much of a favor if I represented my role sloppy, although I did not want to be heavy I accept the role, I just have to do a lot of target practice with my gun, still have to get used not having to aim down a sight. Last mission I missed every shot."​

PERSEPHONE
"What's it like out there? I mean what's it like actually seeing beings that aren't even of this earth? The best I've seen of them are maybe one or two corpses, and of course I heard about that thing that attacked Anna, but what's it like actually seeing them and why do you do you think they're here?"​

COLIN
"Anna? What is wrong with Anna? I did not know she was attacked, I just thought she was injured some other way. Sorry, yeah it's scary out there at first, my first mission I was to scared and stayed behind most of the time. Jorn even scared me during the battle, he was running around inside the house kicking in doors and stuff and I thought it was an alien."​

Colin laughs.

COLIN
"But after you know you have friends out there that cover you and you are killing those aliens that want to wipe off the entire human race you start to get courage and face those things with more moral, it's strange to explain but I bet you will know what I'm talking about whenever you go active."​

PERSEPHONE
"But can't those friends of yours out there also be your greatest liability? I mean how long has it been since we've had our last casualty? If you ever see one of those friends getting gunned down, it can affect you mentally. That's kind of why I was so reluctant at first to make new friends around here, I just didn't want to see anyone I grew attached to get ray gunned into sandwich-spread."​

COLIN
"Yeah I guess you are right there, but in the end it does not really matter, seeing someone gunned down will have the same effect on you either way, does not matter if you are friends with them or not, and even if you were friends with them and they die, its good to know that the memory of them lives on within you. I sure would hate to die and be forgotten, you know what they say about that, you twice in life, once when you are dead and a second time when someone remembers you for the last time."​

PERSEPHONE
"I really wish I had your mindset. It would probably give me a much more positive outlook on life. I just wish I could go back and tell that to my sixteen year old self, and maybe I wouldn't even be caught in this whole mess."​

COLIN
“What happened to you at sixteen?”​

PERSEPHONE
"I really don't feel comfortable talking about it right now. Ever since it happened I've only told one person, and honestly all toilet scrubbing aside I've been in an unusually good mood since the trial ended, I don't feel like ruining it just yet!"​

COLIN
“I can except that. By the way, you never told me what happened to Anna, how is she?”​

PERSEPHONE
"She seems to be fine for the moment. A few days ago she'd been attacked by an alien in the research labs that they'd thought had been dead. Some kind of giant bug creature, a Chryssalid I think it was called? Again she seems to be fine now, but she's still ordered to report to the med-bay everyday for some kind of checkup."​

COLIN
"Dang! I hope I can talk to her some time.”​

Colin looks down at the newly cleaned floor.

COLIN
“How does it look?”​

PERSEPHONE
“Looks good!”​

COLIN
“Thanks. I’d like to stick around but I still have to head to the shooting range, but hey if you ever get bored, come find me I will always be around to have a talk to. And it was nice meeting you Persephone. Maybe we can talk again someday."​

PERSEPHONE
“Sure thing! Thanks for the help!”​

Colin is about to leave when Persephone calls him back.

PERSEPHONE
Hey! After what you did for Ayame and I, I just want you to know that in case… You know, something happens, you won’t be forgotten.”​

Colin get's a warm smile.

COLIN
"Thank you, that means a lot to me, let's just hope I will still stick around for a long time."​

Journal entry #20


The camera shows a very depressed Axton his eyes are red and the camera also shows five beer cases on his dresser.Well as you can see iv been busy drowning my sorrows at the death of Colin,as you can see one of the cases are empty but I drank a little more before I empty ed that case so i'm a little drunk but sober enough to talk.So I went to the memorable an visited Colin,Axton starts to tear up a little,sorry I saw Colin and I gave him a drink because were ever he's going i'm pretty sure he's gonna get a little thirsty.


Now to explain why there are four boxes of beer right behind me,each one of those represent my female friends,Anna Ayame Ashley and Scarlet. Axton rubs his eyes,My mom told me Axton never get to attach to any body,and as a little boy I didn't no what she ment,now I understand what she ment she ment the more you get attached to some one the harder it will be to see them go.


Colin you were my first friend that I ever made on this planet,and I no I'm not the only one that's gonna miss you but i'm probable gonna miss you the most on this base, I'm gonna miss Colin every day of my life and he will never be forgotten..............never ever ever. Axton turns off the camera.
