Scrunching his face with a sniff, Quaritch squinted his eyes open expecting to see the bed being taken up by a brown ball of fur. Instead the bed laid bare. Instantly leaning up Quaritch looked around the room, empty. "Shit!" He hissed. Getting out of the bed, quickly putting his clothes on Miles opened the door marching down the hallways. "Must of turned my dam alarm off...". Reaching to his coms the Colonel's tail flicked frantically out of concern and anger. "Corporal?... Corporal!". "Yeah- copy sir?". "Whereabouts of the wolf?". "Everyone's in the gym room colonel, including the wolf.". "Right. Coming over.". "Copy that.". "Dude slept in you'd think he'd have less of an attitude" laughed Ace. "Quit making fun of our boss and spot me" snapped Lyle struggling with his weights. "Alright alright" said Ace quickly putting his hands under the bar not touching it. "I did suggest not to put that much weight on the bar" smiled Ace. "I can handle it... just spot me damnit.." Lyle groaned. "That's what I'm fucken doin" Laughed Ace. Gym equipment pushed to the side everyone sat in a circle in the middle of the room chatting and laughing, except prager who laid on a bench taking a nap. Of course Ace and Wainfleet stood on the other side of the room doing weights, bickering with each other no one could tell if it was genuine or if they were messing with each other. "And so I down the whole beer while this idiot is on the floor blacked out" laughed Zee fake punching Ja in the arm. "This woman can handle her beer that's all I'll say" Smiled Ja looking to the group then back at Zee. "I swear the only person who ever got close to beating you was warren" said Fike leaning over. Everyone's smile faded going into silence. Prager was the one who found warrens body when shit hit the fan, unable to take him back to the group he got an arrow in his leg during the process. None of their lost friends could of been taken back when they had to retreat, no one wanted to think where their bodies ended up. "They won't be forgotten" calmly says Fike, patting Zee's shoulder. "Fucking savages" she hisses turning her head. "More like animals" growls Wainfleet. Turning their heads Lyle was laid on the bench still lifting his weights. "They'll get what's comin to em don't worry" says Prager sitting up rubbing his neck. "At least their at least peace." Muttered Zhang. "Peace? We'll just regroup in hell". Ears perking up everyone turned around startled to see the Colonel, he stood at the door with his hand on his hip over his gun. "Didn't hear you come in Colonel" said Lyle putting the weights back, walking to Quaritch. "Nice of you to invite me to the party" said Quaritch glancing at everyone. "You were asleep did ya want us to drag your mattress out or something?" Grinned Nick tilting his head at the Colonel. "You turned off my alarm" he scowled. "General said afternoons the best timeframe we leave to the forest, if you didn't need the sleep you would of woken up at your usual time anyway", Nick seemed unbothered and relatively happy despite Quaritch looking annoyed and everyone else fearing for his safety. "Touch my alarm again you won't have hands" groaned Miles ducking back under the door, Lyle following his tail. "Where we off to Colonel?" . "I need a damn coffee".

Standing up Nick walked over to a little table in the corner of the room with a charging cord sprawled out on it. "Let's see if this bad boys charged" he muttered excitingly. "What is that tiny thing again?" Asked Zee standing up. "My iPod from earth" Nick replied. "Is it charged yet?" Asked Ace walking over. "If Dan built the charger correctly it should be, things old as shit though". "Pretty sure I saw those things in a museum once" mocked Ja. "Hey iPods were also ancient to us back in twenty twenty" defended Ace. "They were popular like ten years before that. Anyway I paid good money for this ipod, apple ain't no joke" chuckled Nick. "It's hundreds of years old will it even work?" Asked Zhang. "Holy shit guys you know as much as me chill out" Calmed Nick. Carefully clicking the buttons, the screen was too tiny to see out of. "Alright I can barely read what songs these are so bare with it" Said Nick. "Why don't you grab the cord and connect it to the tablet?" Said Mansk handing Nick the RDA tablet. "That's actually a decent idea, cheers". Mansk tilted his head in confusion, "Cheers?" . "Aussie slang" said Nick connecting the devices together. Attached to the pod was the specifically built cord and at the end the plug would work the same for going into a tablet and a wireless charger. { copy data? } . Clicking the yes button, "yes please bitch" muttered Nick. Automatically a new app popped up on the screen, it looked like some kind of signal icon coloured in green and black. Hovering around everyone was curious and almost desperate to hear music. Suddenly the loading screen disappeared and a sudden static glitched through the tablet. ..  ♪ California girls we're  unforgettable daisy Dukes, bikinis on top Sun kissed skin so hot we'll melt your popsicle
Oh -oh - oh-  ♪. "Turn off that shit" said Zee covering her ears with one hand and snatching the tablet with the other. "Is that seriously the last night you listened to?" Asked Ace almost completely in shock. "Hey it's before her songs got boring don't judge me".  "Oh imma judge you" replied Ace. "Alright this one looks good" Said Zee handing back the tablet.  ♪ shout to all my lost boys sh -sh -shout to all my lost boys  ♪ "what's this one?" Asked Ja. "Bangarang" replied Zee. Nodding his head Nick closed his mouth remembering the lyrics "you seem like the type into dubstep".  Said Nick over the music to Zee. "What's dubstep?-".   ♪ bangarang!! BASS BANG!! Bangarang!! You feel the... bang!! BANGARANG!!  ♪  quickly the noise from the tablet took an affect on the recoms sensitive ears. "Alright hold my beer" stepping in Ace took the tablet scrolling through like he'd done this before. "This one's a classic".  Turning up the tablet it was a low base turning to drums and electric guitars taking over  ♪ in this farewell there's no blood, there's no alibi. Cause I've drawn regret from the truth, of a thousand lies, so let mercy come and wash away....  ♪. Nodding and dancing to the music the lyrics were slow and not hard to follow to this point. A smile rose on Ace's face as he nodded his ahead waiting for the best part..  ♪"what I've done!... I'll face myself..." ♪
"To cross out what I've become!".  "Erase myself!...  and let go of what I've... done!.. ".
