[b][u]The Memory Remains[/u][/b]
[b]Escapade-Hangar[/b]
Python stands by the airlock, holding a beer in his hand. He took a sip, thinking things over in his mind.
[i]How will this end? Will Phantom just kill you?
No, he tore out Genesis Comms, remember? He has no control over you anymore....
True freedom then.
True freedom.[/i]
For once, his thoughts were quiet, calm. Sanity, this is what it was like. Not the constant nagging of one part of the mind. It felt good to say the least. To not have a voice silently pointing out his flaws. His shortcomings. His problems. Making them worse at ever chance it got.
He took another sip of the beer, looking at the planet below them. What had they called it? Monocrath? Something like that. Didn't matter. It was a pretty planet. At least from space. A wondrous white celestial being. Floating endlessly in space. No sun, no natural life. There was a civilization down there, but they never went outside because it was so cold and dark.
Phazon, that horrid substance had the courage to speak in his mind.
[i]When will it fall....
When I let it. When the team gives up.
It will fall.....soon....[/i]
[spoiler]I will make another post after this, that will be the combat post. This is for interaction and....clearing the air, if you would[/spoiler]

[b]Raven walks up too him.[/b] Hey big guy...
-
[i]Jack walked into the hanger, his hands in his pockets. He looked around wondering what was going on[/i]

[b]Ray approached Python and took off his helmet. He didn't look much different except he had a beard now and a scar over his left eye[/b] "Hey Python"
-
He looks over at Ray. "Hey Ray." He flashed a smile, taking a sup of his beer.
-
"Long time no see"
-
"Ain't that the truth." He seems...changed. More stable. More understanding now. "Did you hear about the Corrupted invasion?"
-
"Yeah. Oh and one more thing. I know last time we talked I didn't leave on a positive note but I'm here to stay this time"
-
"Better be. Shit hit the fan about two months after you left." He shakes his head.
-
"Heh didn't think I was that important.... so uh....what happened to Natalia after I left?"
-
"Hell if I know, too crazy to notice much of anything back then..." A ship is seen leaving orbit, off to the right of the planet... [spoiler]Making a new post...[/spoiler]
-
"Alright" [b]you can hear a bit of sadness in his voice[/b]
-
[spoiler]New post[/spoiler]
-
[b]Phantom walks up next to him, and stares out the port window[/b] How'd it get this bad, Eh?
-
"Shit hit the fan. That's how. And it's probably my fault." He takes another sip of his beer, turning to Phantom. "Hey, I'm sorry for any shit I pulled....I wasn't in control. I'm dealing with....it in my own ways...." He looks out at the planet again.
-
[b]He shakes his head[/b] Control is the one thing we don't seem to ever fully have. It's what killed the others. It's what is going to make me kill Minerva. And still might make me kill you.
-
"Kill me? I've already tried....pain in the ass, buddy." He chuckles sadly, hollow a bit then sips at his beer.
-
Not for me... [b]A HoloScreen opens in front of him, displaying Python's Genesis Readout[/b] [i]Genesis-01 Failsafe[/i] Even if you don't have the Comms, you still have the systems. [b]He sighs[/b] I could have prevented all this at any point. I could have saved A'karo... I could have saved even Jessica. Maybe even prevented the Phazon...
-
"Prevented? Nah, you would've slowed it, that's all. Phazon started out by Earth and slowly spread it's way out here." He finishes his beer, playing with the glass bottle a bit, then looking up at the airlock again. "It's never going to stop, Phazon. It will always be around, killing and ruining lives forever.....until it's all gone....." He let the glass go, with his arm outside the airlock, allowing the glass to float outside in space.
-
Me and you.... We're the last of us. Minerva is already gone. I could end our legacy right here. [i]Genesis-01 Failsafe Genesis-05 Failsafe Activate?[/i] I could prevent all the future deaths and problems we would cause. [b]He stares at the explosions happening on the planet[/b]
-
"You could? Why do that? Eh? We still got a few rounds left in our mag, don't we? Just gotta keep the barrel clean..." He chuckles, watching the planet. A ship began to exit warp off to the right...
-
We both know that's a slim chance. [b]He closes the HoloScreen and brings out a datachip, and hands it toward Python[/b] After this Phazon is settled, I'll be back at InterSec-12. But we still need someone to account for you. It's your Failsafe. You can either give it to someone, or keep it. Your choice.
-
He nods, stuffing the failsafe in his pocket. It would be safe there. [spoiler]New post[/spoiler]
