After a short time Harper walks up to the podium as it starts. Up above a formation of long sword fighters fly over
Harper: I want to by saying thank you for those who have come today. As you all know we are coming out of a very destructive war and battle. I want to say thank you to the ones who have come and aided in a very dark hour. Now we must look forward towards the future. For us the war is over the storm is passed. But let us not forget those who charged into the howling dark and did not return. For their sacrifices required courage beyond measure. The knowledge that their fight our fight was not in vain. To remember them no matter where they are from this hillside will serve as a memorial and remain barren as we rebuild. As we go forward we will rebuild and become stronger. These losses will not deter us or our future generations. We will become stronger from this and grow closer to our allies. The sacrifice of all those who fought will not be forgotten.
He stops for a moment as the memorials are revealed. With the UNSC emblem in the center and the others on either side with the names of all those killed that scroll down and have a flame in front of each one.
Harper: we may have been hurt and injured but we will recover. We will mourn our losses then push onward as we must. But we will not do so alone! To our allies I say this we stand with you to bring an era of prosperity to the galaxy. To any that threaten us or our allies I say this you will see our resolve. This won’t stop us and nothing will break our resolve to be the best we can possibly be. Axios!
The UNSC armed forces personnel there all tell in unison
Axios!
Harper nods as he steps down.
Ooc: if anyone else wants to speak feel free to do so as well. I will have Janeway say something here in a bit.
*Steele from the Coalition is here as well, in a slightly altered version of his armor, more black and somber than the usual pale whites and gray the coalition usually uses. His helmet is of course equipped just like most Coalition military members.*
Steele: *Taking the Stand* As many of you know, the Coalition was founded by planets that felt unprotected by the Federation, UNSC, and The Republic and other governments. Despite this, we harbor no ill will to the people we used to belong to. And we have come here to mourn the passing of some of the people we once knew as brothers. It was a difficult battle, with many sacrifices being made, and many losses resulting from the end of things. The Coalition would like to stand by the UNSC in this time of need, offering aid and support to everyone. We will help you rebuild where we can though we cannot reverse the losses of worlds. But as we used to know the UNSC for its support, so too shall we return the favor. *He nods and steps down, towering over all of the other humanoids at the service. Its still unclear if he is human, and if he is he is a couple feet taller than normal humans.*
Serah: Yeah... *she nods solemnly* I'm still bothered by what she did to me... I mean... you know what I tried to have HK do.
***
Johanna: *Eventually she wanders up to Mila, looking a bit nervous* Hey... are you doing alright?
Karen: Yeah... *She puts an arm around her.*
*Columbia.*
Mila: Yeah... I guess... Just thinking about some things... *She's clearly preoccupied.*
OOC: It's been a while since the court martial. Johanna was the target of a murder plot and saved Mila's life when M Mila and a Tyrant invaded the ship.
Janeway walks up as he speaks for a moment as well.
Janeway: the relationship between the federation and UNSC has been difficult to say the least. But after the events at Arcadia things quickly changed. Then we had the undine attack as well. We will stand by the UNSC and offer any aide that we can to help in rebuilding what was lost. The sacrifice of all those who have been killed will not be forgotten. Together it is my hope and goal that we all can grow into closer allies and a stronger force so that no one will attack any of our powers as they will know that the others will come to their side. Thank you.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Hargrove: In the century the Republic of United Star Systems has existed, it has been engaged in conflict, cold and hot, with almost every galactic power, the UNSC included. We have also been allied with every galactic power, the UNSC included. Where other powers see a nation in crisis and turn their backs, the Republic stands. Because if our history has taught us anything, it's that we either stand as one, or we fall as many. Today the Republic stands with the UNSC as allies. The Republic never turns its back. We shall forever stand.
Harper: thank you all. Now if we may take a moment we will pay honor to those fallen.
As he turns a large display appears as it starts to display the names of those fallen. As they appear the lights of aiden starts playing in the background as well.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Harper: I want to thank everyone who has come for this today. These memorials will remain here and will always be open to anyone from anywhere that want to remember or honor the fallen. Now there will be some refreshments that will be served in the area behind us as well. Thank you all.
Harper steps down as people start moving around and talking with each other.
Carter: good job. I’m must say I was impressed.
Harper: I should have made you get up and say something.
Carter chuckles.
Carter: I let you talk me into becoming an official admiral to be in the system of command more.
Harper: and I appreciate that. Come on let’s be around the people and other officers we can discuss these issues later if you want.
Carter nods as they start talking to others there as well. Standing alone Halsey is standing before the UNSC memorial.
Halsey: you always had to prove something didn’t you. Always rushing to battle and trying to save the day. Well you did. Now I have to make sure that victory wasn’t in vain. No matter how controversial that decision may end up being.
She sets down a small flower on the UNSC memorial. After she does so Gaz one of the few remaining original Spartans walks up next to her.
Gaz: ma’am. I’m ready to escort you as soon as you are.
Halsey: thank you. I suppose I should socialize some to seem friendly and who knows what someone will let slip or what allies one could find.
Gaz: yes ma’am.
She smiles as the two head to the rest of the crowd.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Ooc: if you can’t tell I’m bored lol since I can’t get into the game and we aren’t going anywhere for Christmas. So I’m gonna keep posting lol
As Halsey is walking through the crowd of people at the memorial she runs into Harrison.
Harrison: doctor may we have a moment?
Halsey: and what could section 31 want to talk to me about.
Harrison: now doctor I think we all know subtitly is what is called for right now don’t you.
Halsey: make it quick then I have work to get to.
Harrison: I’m sure you do doctor. But my science teams recently discovered a site I think you may take interest in.
He hands her a padd that she takes a look at. First doubting but quickly taking interest.
Halsey: where is this from.
Harrison: we found them on earth. Recently during a search of some subterranean areas we recently found.
Halsey: we haven’t seen anything like this yet in any Milky Way planets.
Harrison: we thought so. So they are forerunner.
Halsey: yes. These are definitely forerunner and this here is possibly even precursor which was around before any known race in Virgo or the Milky Way. How old are these images.
Harrison: they where taken a few days ago before I headed here. How soon would you be able to come see them.
Halsey stops a moment as she thinks about it holding the padd so a passing by unsc officer doesn’t see as she speaks again.
Halsey: we could leave as soon as this is over. But I would require a Winter class Prowler to be allowed into orbit as well as my hand picked science team and ONI escort.
Harrison: I think we can deal with that. I’ll make sure you have clearance and any supplies you need.
He hands her a communicator.
Harrison: use this to contact me when your ready to get started.
He nods as he mixes back into the crowd. Halsey takes another long look at the padd as she looks up Carter walks towards her.
Carter: I take it you said yes.
Halsey: you already knew?
Carter: of course. I have a prowler ready for you with Guilty Tangent already aboard and just let me know what you want for a science team. I’ve taken care of your ONI security team. I’ll send Gaz with you and 4 ONI special forces operatives.
Halsey: good. I want Muniz and Berin to be with my science team.
Carter: I’ll transfer them to your prowler now then. Good luck doctor. This could be very big for all of us.
Halsey: hm don’t remind me.
As carter walks away she takes another long look at the symbols on the padd.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Serah: I know but I wanted to hurt her so badly. To... break her.

Johanna: Because she's family. And it's hard to hate family. I mean... you've seen how my father manipulated me. *she sighs and twiddle her fingers as she looks down* And it was easy for him to do because I loved him.

Mila: When we were kids... Cassi and me used to fight. A lot. And it only got worse when she started dating James. It felt like no matter what I did, we'd always end up antagonising each other. But I still trusted her. I still loved her.
Look how well that turned out...
*She gets a far away look in her eyes, which are starting to well up.*
*OOC: The main reason Mila hasn't let anyone - Including Johanna - get close to her is how badly betrayed she felt by Cassi, and her conflicted emotions around Cassi's death. It's taken her this long to really start grieving.*
A short while after the memorial is over things are wrapping up as people start leaving. Harper and a few others remain behind to make sure everyone is taken care of and all set.
Once gone Halsey takes a pelican directly to her waiting prowler where everyone is already aboard and ready to go.
Capt. Pellion: ah doctor are you ready to depart.
Halsey: yes captain. I’m ready as soon as you are.
Pellion: very well. Helm set course and prepare to engage slipspace drive. Engage.
In a moment the prowler makes the jump to slipspace.
Pellion: I can inform you once we are nearing earth if you would like doctor.
Halsey: yes that will be good. Thank you.
She heads off the bridge to start prepping her things.
