Italy heard the call disconnect, her eyes misty, welling with sorrowful drops... She knew she'd never see him again... she knew that she needed to leave, go somewhere out of the UNSC's contact... But where? Italy turned to the pilot, her last living friend, and started to speak, her words holding her feelings as the words shook. "He, He went back..."
37-5 went silent... "We both know how it's going to go..."
"He won't speak a word, no to a living soul."
"I agree, but you've seen what can happen, what they're capable of." 37-5 spoke sourly.
"I'm sorry by the way..." Italy said, grieving for her friend's lost mentor.
"She could still be alive, you never know. If I'm still breathing then so is she." She laughed half heartedly.
"Yea... So where should we go?"
"Last I heard the project was going to be shut down, but you know how ambitious they are, they'll come back soon enough with an even more twisted plan. I thought about recovering some items that were stolen, like some certain A.I.'s." She said looking at Italy.
Italy smirked, "Sounds like another hellish rollercoaster, why the fuck not, we might die soon so better live life while we can!"
"Agreed, how about we go check out that one building, that is if it hasn't collapsed yet."
"It shouldn't of, we were all sure that it'd crumble after that beam fired from the mother ship, but then again, it was made out of alien materials."
"Yea." 37-5 sighed setting the controls to cruise. "You ought of get some shut eye, it's going to take a few days before we're out of UNSC jurisdiction."
"Yea, and I don't think that's the right word."
"Whatever, Kitty Kat." She teased and went back to watching the blackness outside.
"Nighty night."
"Yep." 37-5 set course for far away, for it'd take a few days for a new adventure to unfold...
