Mass Effect RP 2

Okay, now something was ringing bells in his head. "Marik... are you sure you're okay?" Lucas was grasping at straws he couldn't see here, but he could just barely sense them. Taking a line from Danari, he added, "We're a team. We shouldn't keep secrets from eachother. I'm here if you need to talk out... anything that might be going on now."

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank Hill

-Jeko got up and went to the sim to check the high score board-

Maybe i should retire now, go and take care of some business before i die

-Jeko looked at his omitool, a message popped up on the screen, an email, it looked like work-

Right

Niether of them knew, but Danari was outside the door. He could hear Queen a mile away. Trying not to breathe, he slid silently away. Private moment, he thought. I'm not going to ruin this one.

Poor girl...

He'd only heard the most recent part, about killing her own parents, and the 'brainwashed' remark, but he'd heard more than he had rights to hear.

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Marik remembered his promise. He'll find out soon enough, anyways. Captain's Orders, after all.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit worn-out, you know? I hate to complain, but it's tough bearing the burden of being the Doctor onboard, having to make sure everyone's safe. And when people get injured, I need to put them back together. That's my job. People like Jordan can just run into battle and count on my biotic support, but then I need to patch them up afterwards. I've had to bring both you and Jordan back from almost death."

He sighed, then his voice turned rougher. "But what about when I can't? Remember Pyle? Inoste? Lia? Tarsus? It seems like I'm the only one who still feels the burden of their deaths, Rook, and it fucking sucks. I feel like a failure as a medic to let my crewmates die like that, when I should be protecting them. So that's why I feel tired."

With a heavy sigh, the turian leaned against the wall. "Now then, was there something you wanted to talk about, Rook?"

Why are you telling him this? It's not his past, he doesn't need to know!

"I'm sorry."

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

Deimos smiled. Una wasn't warm and cheery by a longshot, but he rather enjoyed her snarkiness. He had to admit though, she had come a ways from when he first started talking with her.

"Of course. You tend to warm up to people when they're as awesome as us," he said. "Our zaniness is a godsend," he said with a smirk.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Easy job, just shipping things from the Citadel to Illium, ill see to put a corse in order tomorrow. An easy mission to retire on.

-Jeko sighed, and looked at the computer screens-

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault. It was their fault." He couldn't say much, and just held her there.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

If Jeko looks down into the room he could probably see Jake sneaking up behind a group of a batarian patrol. In Jakes hands there's a garrotte wire. suddenly the batarian gets pulled back and quietly chocked to death before he dissolves. The Squad turns around aiming their rifles down the hallway where their companion vanished. Jake is gone from their sight. Suddenly several loud noises are heard and three more falls down with pistol rounds in their heads. Jake quickly rushes through the hall ways again and cloaks himself.

Why not

-Jeko looks at the sim, takes out his omitool, and jumps in the sim-

Got a new tool to play with

-Jeko hits the omiblade-

Fuck got to go

"Thank the Godess for zaniness" Una agreed. "I can't help but be a little bit worried, though."

"I... I just want to know why any of this happened to me, I spent my childhood in a facility to train biotics- I remember nearly being killed in a fight with Zero. Then came the happy years, in Nurburg, but I had to go and fuck it up by joining the Taskmaster. But I'm happy here now. With you. With everyone. I've got that much."

Stop it now! What are you doing?

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

Lucas didn't speak for a moment or two, thinking on his words. Finally, he spoke: "Marik, your putting too much on yourself. Try as we might, we cannot protect everyone. People die, and although it isn't pretty we can't bring them back."

Lucas walked over to Marik, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Theres many a time in everyones life when they must accept that things are just out of their control. You are no different. Try as you might, you can't save everyone. But you know why it feels like your the only one that feels that burden? Because you expect too much of yourself, that you can be there for everyone. Pyle, Inoste, Lia and Tarsus? They died, and good lives were lost when they did."

Taking a moment to reorganize his thoughts, he continued. "All we can ever ask of you, Marik, is to do your best. If lives are lost, you'll have to accept that it was out of your control. But when it is in your control to make a difference, all we can ask is that you do everything in your power to do so." Lucas walked over to the turian and salarian, realization hitting him of where they were from.

"These two? You didn't have to help them. I doubt they even wanted the help. But you did so anyway. You had the power to help someone, and you did just that."

Walking back, Lucas looked Marik directly in the eyes. "Do everything you can to help others, and accept that there are times when even the best efforts cannot change fate. If you do that, Marik, i can say with 100% certainty that nobody will hold it against you. I know i won't. Not after what you did for me."

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank Hill

"Worried about what?" Deimos asked, sitting up a bit. He was worried himself, about a couple things going on throughout the ship.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

"Well, I can't quite put my finger on it." Una said, readjusting her seat to a regular position. "But the atmosphere seems tense, on the entire ship, I mean. We had the first fight since me and Kate had our little... thing, today, and... I just don't know." She shook her head. "Who would have thought running around shooting at people for money could put someone on edge, huh?"

Deimos nodded. "I know what you mean. It's all fun and games until someone takes a bullet, right?" he said with a dark chuckle. "We've been through a lot. I'd be more worried if it wasn't so tense around here," he said.

"And wait, who fought?" Deimos asked. He didn't recall anyone being that pissed off lately, to come to fisticuffs, so it was probably someone he didn't know.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

"That engie fellow, Isaac and some turian asshole named Ivas something." Una said. "It went about as well as you could rationally expect a fistfight with a turian and a human to go."

Marik smiled. "Thanks, Rook. That helps a lot. I really needed to hear that." More than you know...

"So let's talk about something cheerier, eh? How are you and Amy doing?"

"I don't know. I've kind of been avoiding seeing her. I'm sifting through all of this in my head still, and i'm dreading telling her." So much for cheery...

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank Hill

Marik smiled. "Don't worry about it, Rook. On this ship, relationships seem to last through any kind of psychological disturbances."

Chuckling, he said, "Just look at Katie and Jordan."

With a wink, he added, "I'm sure Amy will be more than happy enough to help you through your issues."

"Ouch," Deimos said, wincing a bit. "Issac's got to be in like, shreds after that, right?" he said.

Sure, drell weren't exactly the toughest of species, but they were a bit denser and sturdier than humans. They just looked so fragile. Going up against a turian would not have boded well.

"What were they fighting about?" he asked.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

"His fists got pretty... banged up, but otherwise, he was fine." Una said. "The turian insulted that girl of his, Ala, and Isaac thought violence would be the wittiest comeback. Sharp one, that Mr. Mazzy."

"Look, I've got to go talk to my past. It's the best thing fof me to do."

She got up and headed for the medbay.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.

Lucas shook his head. "No, thats not it. Its just... here, maybe i can just show you." Bringing up the message on his Omnitool, Lucas highlighted a portion of it

and showed it to Marik. "She still doesn't know the truth. She's in love with a trained killer. You have no clue how hard it is for me to know that."

"You lost, Dio. You lost for one simple reason - you were using charcoal." - Hank Hill

"Well... as long as you stay happy. You can't go into the future if you're continuously looking at the past. That being said you can't just ignore the past, because you'll repeat past mistakes if you don't look. For now... you are Kate. You're my kate." He kissed her.
