looking at paradisa

[reengineered]

I don't want to go, even if they're there. I have somewhere important to be.

Pretty sure she's still there, yeah.

[Don't tell him nobody ever told her--]

Beta Company wasn't all assigned to Pegasi.

[reengineered]

[NOPE.]

I still didn't know they survived.

[spaceracist]

[Look at how unsurprised Emile is by that. Pissed off, sure, but that's a normal state of being for him.]

No shit? I was assigned with 293 and 320 on Noble. [Course, they're dead now.]

Alpha Company myself. 239.

[...]

Emile.

[reengineered]

[She was a little busy with doctors to really know what went down for a while, there.]

Lucy. Beta 091.

[Should she say "nice to meet you" or somthing like that?]

[spaceracist]

[That and they probably just didn't tell her because ONI is full of shit.]

I'm in assault. Don't like working alone so they stuck me on a team with two other Alphas, two Betas, and a II.

[reengineered]

I thought there were only two of us left.

[spaceracist]

Won't lie to you, most of us didn't make it off Reach in '52, but I get the feeling you thought we were all gone before then.

[reengineered]

Yes. All of you.

I thought it was just me and Tom. That's what they told us.

[spaceracist]

Surprised they lied to us?

[Cause damn, Emile isn't.]

[reengineered]

Not anymore. I've seen a lot now.

[spaceracist]

You'll see even more if they let you go to the castle.

You gonna be okay there?

[reengineered]

I will be. I think I will.

[spaceracist]

Well. If you think you might not be.

[Just say the word and there might be a big brother from another company heading there.]

[reengineered]

I won't complain.

[About not feeling prepared at all, and about desperately wanting to be with her team. Her little makeshift team was better than being alone.]

[spaceracist]

Course you won't. You're a Spartan.

[Emile sounds a little amused, but even moreso...proud? Yeah, he can be proud of her even though they've never really met.]

Just say hi to Six for me, would you?

[reengineered]

[At least somebody's on her side. She unconsciously makes the movement for "smile".]

I will. I promise.

[spaceracist]

[Oh, honey. Emile makes the smile gesture, repeated twice.]

Good. And you need me, you call. I'll hear you.

[reengineered]

[Alright, so... Maybe she can count on this guy. She nods.]
