Hey, Freelancers! Church. Spartan what's-your-face you can help out too.

Who started the insurrection and had the highest body count? Because I know it wasn't the UNSC.

[Someone's still feeling spikey after her conversation with Gale. Yes it's open for everyone to see. Feel free to threadjack!]

Yeah, I did. [And she's not denying it, she's not glorying in it either. It's a fact and there is no point acting any other way about it.]

I had my orders and I followed them. And yeah, before you ask I would have done the same to any of you and would have expected it from any of you. Not an excuse, it was the mission. Nothing I can do can change that now.

Wow. Do you care, at all?

South

[hatesgoodbyes]

Then? I cared about the objective and protecting my own. C.T. was a threat I was told to neutralize that threat.

Now? Yeah, and I have that with me everyday. Omega made me better and stronger and faster but he was a son of a bitch without remorse or empathy too.

CT was my friend but you wouldn't know anything about that, woud you? [One of the few people she actually ever considered such. And yeah you know what? Bringing up the AI sin't really helping ...]

You had a lightbulb too?! What the fuck? What is there like a secret lightbulb club? Was CT a part of it too?

South

[hatesgoodbyes]

No, I wouldn't. I wasn't close with any of you back then, I was supposed to be separate because that was the plan.



The AIs were experiments, and so were the Freelancers. You didn't get one because you earned it, you got it because they wanted to see what it would do to you.

Wait wait -- The 'plan'? So you knew? You knew everything was going down?

South

[hatesgoodbyes]

There was a plan for me, well there was a plan for all of us. But mine was different from the rest.

I didn't know everything, I was knew little things but it wasn't until after CT that I really understood what was going on.

Texas

[i_got_this]

Too little too fucking late.

South

[hatesgoodbyes]

It was. But I'm not going to lie about it or try to cover it up, so you do what you have to do.

Texas

[i_got_this]

Well then I guess that means avoiding your stupid ass.

[Aaaaand smacking the journal closed.]
