Burns: enough beating around the bush let's see what's in those files.
He starts to open the files and finds what ye feared he would. His father had revealed the location of the meeting to the pirates. He was surprised to see his mother had sealed the files before they both ended up being killed in an explosion.
Athen: I'm sorry sir. I said you wouldn't like it.
Burns: its not your fault. You did what I asked you to do. Now I know the truth.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Ooc: well I think its time for my second longest living character to bite the dust for good. Already have someone planned to take over to so Jacob will probably be by by today lol.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Unsc reporter: our most breaking news story today deals with the death of Jacob Halsey during the battle of Arcadia in Virgo. He was attending a summit at jehrico 7 when the attack started and went to help wearing his now even more famous armor. His actions saved the lives of over 10000 civilians and thousands of troops on the ground. While Arcadia did fall the remaining forces where able to escape thanks to his efforts. A Spartan team was deployed to Arcadia to retrieve his body which is now at reach where a memorial is being prepared as a number of notable UNSC and Alliance officials have already arrived.
The image changes from the reporter to the area his body is at. In the dark night the area is lit by torches and flame with that being the light for the area.
Reporter: the actual memorial is reported to be tomorrow while we wait for a few more officials to arrive. Senator Lux Bontari the youngest senator in on the council has taken up his place as the council head and has spared no expense in this event.

Triss: Are you going to say I have to forfeit if I want to stop now?

Kara: No. If you wanna stop, just say so. We can call it a draw.
*S.S. Tora Zhiyal. Tara quickly injects the hypo into her arm, inhaling sharply before she heads to the door, leaving the hypo on her desk as she answers.*

Tara M: Sure. *picks up the hypospray and looks at what it had in it.*
*It has a standard anti-depressant in it, but that the level has been set a lot higher than it probably should. Tara turns around with their drinks, handing one to Tara M.*
