[b][i]Honoring Their Memory[/i][/b]
[b]Phantom sat alone in the War Room, most of the Ship having gone to sleep for the next few hours
He sat across from a HoloScreen that was displayed at the far end of the table
It showed the original Exalin Crew, a few months after they had destroyed their namesake, and when they decided to stick together as a team[/b]
Heh.
[b]He smiled sadly as he stared at it, thinking of better times, when he could actually enjoy a fighting a Galactic Threat, or afford to trust someone with his secrets[/b]
[b]He did this ceremony almost every year, since he never knew when he might not win a fight and make it back
Most of the others had either died, or disappeared completely[/b]
[b]He opened a a bottle of Eridian Whiskey, and drunk from it[/b]
Hope you are doing better than us, wherever you guys are.
[b]He set the glass down and began to watch old Holos of their exploits his Scouters had recorded[/b]

[b]Aria walks into the room[/b] "I can sense the pain in your heart..... and the anger.... I am no stranger to pain my friend"
-
Pain? I've become used to pain. We're old friends.
-
" The same can be said for some if the others in the ship"
-
[b]Tanya stood in the doorway, watching the former leader, now nothing more than a convict She looked at the holoscreens, it was amazing what he accomplished, what he achieved in his time, before he was caught...[/b]
-
What do you need Tanya? [b]He pauses the footage and looks at her[/b]
-
[i]"Nothing, was passing by the room when I saw the footage first then you"[/i] [b]She sighs[/b] [i]"Was watching the footage"[/i]
-
Interested in it? Your what, 24? You should've atleast seen old InfoNet Holos on us.
-
[i]"I did, but not the stuff right now"[/i]
-
Eh, that's expected. My Scouters recorded this footage. Never released it. Not everything is safe for public eyes.
-
[i]"Yeah, I can tell"[/i]
-
Did you just come to watch, or is something on your mind?
-
[i]"Mostly to watch"[/i]
-
Well, then, watch away. [b]He starts the Holo again, this time it's shows the Exalin Team storming a guarded facility Python storms through the walls, destroying any turrets in his way, as the others enter Phantom slashes through enemies, while Minerva and Murph fire in them Zara and Exo take out enemies in hand to hand, and Lethal uses darkness to rip them to shreds[/b]
-
[b]She sits a few seats down, watching the film[/b]
-
[b]You see footage of Python ripping massive worm like creatures in half, clips of Minerva when she was a Wyvern, tearing through enemy troops like nothing, and Murph before Genesis, getting dragged away by some giant beetle.[/b]
-
[spoiler]That beetle •-• *flashbacks*[/spoiler]
-
[b]She remains quiet, watching the footage[/b]
-
[b]Raven, as she is, sits on the roof. She watches him, and wonders what he is thinking.[/b]
-
[i]I was on the old team, but, it wasn't that old Unfortunately Python DID try to kill me a few times...[/i]
-
[b]Joshua watches from the doorway.[/b]
-
[b]He doesn't look away from the screens[/b] You don't have to stand in the doorway.
-
[b]He watches closer.[/b] "It's hard to believe you guys ever fell apart."
-
Eh, even the best fall apart sometimes.
-
"Guess so. So Genesis... What drove you to start the program?"
-
Ginger, believe it or not. He said his creators, Atlas were coming, and what I initially suggested weren't powerful enough to stop them, so I activated the Genesis Program.
