Immortal Warheads [Discontinued]

Chapter 25

    Weeks had passed now, Aloe was walking down the hallway of the bunking quarters as Shepard jogged up next to her. "So, Ive noticed youve grown a bit closer to Nova recently." Aloe looked to her side as she moved her foot swiftly so Shepard would trip as he caught himself before he hit the floor. "And I've seen youve grown closer to the floor recently." Shepard got back up shaking his head. "Trying to avoid it I see, so there is something going on." Aloe continued walking sighing in annoyance. "No there is not, if you soon forget Shepard, we lost a medic already. I am not willing to lose another." Aloe stopped walking and faced Shepard. "And if you will say, you dont treat us like that, I am pretty sure you three idiots are so hard to kill that even cockroaches are frustrated that you wont die." Shepard shrugged and smiled. "What can I say, I'm a hard nut to crack. And I know you still love us anyway." Aloe rolled her eyes as she turned around. "Love is a strong word Shepard." "Yeah, because its saved for Nova." Shepard said teasingly before Aloe turned around sharply about to jump Shepard before Joseph came over the comms. "Hey boss, I think you wanna come take a look at this."
    Shepard and Aloe walked into the main deck as Joseph was playing around on the console. "What is it Joseph? It better be good." Shepard leaned on a table as Aloe walked over. "Yeah, so you remember those weird looking covenant that raided that planet?" Aloe nodded leaning down a little to look at what Joseph had on the screen. "Well it looks like theyre based on the Ark. Like, only the Ark. The entire army is just living there almost." Aloe rose a brow and stood up straight again. "Odd, the Covenant havent been on that thing since forever." Joseph nodded and got out of his seat. "Thats why I dont think theyre covenant. I would like to go down there and figure out whats going on." Aloe crossed her arms and shook her head. "Thats a negative. We are still under staffed and that small raiding party alone could push us back. A few ODSTs wont change that." Shepard sat up and walked forward. "How about, we go to surrounding planets and pick up more outcasts. The more people and stuff we take, the better chances we have at figuring out whats on that floating plate." Aloe closed her eyes and tapped her foot slowly. "He's, not wrong. And we do need a resupply anyway. What the hell, lets do that and when we're ready Joseph, we will figure what those things are." Joseph nodded and sat back in his seat. "Alright, I'll start heading for a planet now. If you could tell Alex and Nova, thatd also be cool." Shepard turned and ran out the door. "Ill tell Alex, Aloe you tell Nova!" Aloe watched the Spartan run out of the room as Josehp snircked behind her. "Dont you start too, or Ill have both of your heads." Joseph nodded as Aloe walked out. "Doesnt mean that'll stop me." He said under his breath setting a course to a nearby planet.
