Oculus: *she gets dressed in her dark council robes, ones designed for going to war, there's a mix of armor plating amongst robes made with armored fibers to give her a true sith lord look, a veil on her head similar to Visas Marr's hood, though with a more intimidating aesthetic. She hums something the entire time she is getting dressed* I haven't worn this since I got here, haven't felt the need to. *she grabs her lightsaber, igniting the hilt for a moment, the unstable arbiter hilt creating powerful overcharged blades, arcing with energy*

Reashe: *eventually she stops, and looks up at Kenzie* I am curious, do your people have some sort of religion? Are you aware of the force?
***
Zach: Barbecue. *no hesitation* I mean, fish is fine too.
jorin: thats fair. *he nods, i should go and get ready, if you want to find tess go ahead.
******
kenzie: *moves her head in raeshe's general direction, even tho she has a helmet covering her face she can feel the spartans eyes on her as she lets out a laugh.* oh thats pretty good. i dont know what the force is but religion isnt much of a thing where i come from. humanity is damn fighting a loosing war with the covenant, they're a bunch of religious nut jobs headed by the prophets of truth, regret, mercy, so on and so fourth. they have declared humanity "heretical blasphemers" simply due to our existance and began a war of genocide..... the death toll isnt even calculable at this point but thats what you get when you face a war of survival against a vastly technologically and numerically superior foe stopping at nothing until earth is nothing but a glassed wasteland and humanity is wiped from the galaxy. granted im not religious but it doenst mean others with in the UNSC arnt.
******
jaessa: it looks good. *she looks down at her own armor.* i guess ive always been rather plain in apperance compared to most.....
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Reashe: I hope I didn't bring up any bad memories. I haven't quite experience anything like what you mention, though it does vaguely remind me of the war between the Jedi and the Sith. For us from our galaxy the force is something special, its like an invisible energy that surrounds us, flows through us, and binds us together. It can do amazing things with people who can wield that power. My people, the chiss, however feel that the force is... impure. Unclean. Chiss children who are what we call "force" sensitive, the ones who can use the force, are either exiled or executed just for being that way. *she leans back resting her hands on the ground* I was not born force sensitive, but I believed in some of the things I heard the Jedi and the Sith said, believing the force wasn't some kind of "evil" or "wrong" and I studied it, studied it until I became force aware. I can feel it thanks to my long years of training even if I can't use it. And for that I was exiled from my home... my parents looking at me as if I was some kind of monster to them. It... hurts to remember, but I stand by what I believe, even if my people cannot see the light.
***
Oculus: Don't say that Jaessa. You're beautiful. Your armor looks fine, the reason mine looks like this is partially because of being a dark council member. You know the Sith Leaders, they love their excess. *She gives Jaessa a kiss and smiles warmly* Though to be fair, you'd look bad *ss in anything.
(that must be pulling from legends lore, because the chiss in disney use force sensitives for navigation through the unknown regions, since the sheer amount of anomalies and hyperspace disturbances there apparently make regular technological sensors unreliable at best)

kenzie: i never even knew my parents, the only thing i remember is growing up on reach, the home of the spartan project. im a spartan II second generation and by far the best even tho the way we are made is ethically questionable. so jedi, sith, the force... this is all just hokis pokis to me.

jaessa: i know about the dark council and all that. ive been around long before you were even born.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."

Reashe: Oh trust me, you'll believe when the sith start shooting lightning from their fingertips. *She sounds a little bit playful before going back to being more serious* And I assume that because you never knew your parents you were trained to be a Spartan from a young age?

Kenzie: try abducted at around 5 years old. put thru some of the most intense training you can think of. I remember Mendez... he was a hard TRIBBLE but he rought is everything we knew. That lasted up until we were 14 then the physical augmentations start. Forced muscle growth and increased density in both muscles and bones. Neural implants to vastly improve cognition and reflexes, the augmentations were so extreme that only 33 out of 75 abducted children survived. And that was when we were all 14 years old. Out of 75 possible spartans 30 were killed during their augmentation Process and 12 were crippled by it. I was one of the lucky 33 if you could call it luck.

Reashe: That's horrible! Why did they do such a thing? Was it the covenant? I can understand needing to make such powerful soldiers through such extreme means in order to combat an enemy that wants your extinction.
***
Oculus: Agreed. Lets hurry then, to battle against probably ancient sith monstrosities. Why it almost makes me feel nostalgic considering the kind of things I fought back home. Like that giant tentacle monster that I think was from another dimension? I don't know, the gree were weird. *She holds Jaessa's hands for a moment and squeezes them before leading them out towards the drop ship*
(The reason they chose kids was because the augmentation process at the time along with the augmentations they wanted were far too invasive for any adult to survive. They had to take kids and train them to become beyond olympian bodies, then while they were still developing augment them to create the perfect soldiers.)
*Jessica nods and Honky waddled over before quaking at Rose*
Rose shushs honky picks him up and heads to where she wants to be, then lets Honky on the ground, and mpotions him to do pester Nyssa.

At least the Geth attacking us are working with what they call the Old Ones. Adn they seem to be targtting those that have dealings with the Milky Way. My gut is saying this is the Reapers, and they are about to do Simulatous Invasions of Our Two Galaxies

Oculus: We both have seen a lot. The worst case of abominations I can remember would probably be the Dread Master's experiments on Orion. They did such horrible things to the people and the wildlife there... *she sighs reminiscing for a moment* And yet I felt pity for them... they were maddened because of their love for each other. They were a family and after they lost one of their own they went off the deep end.
***
Reashe: Thats understandable. I didn't question the life of my people either. I still don't despite my exile, I can understand how they felt even if I disagree with it. Now as a mandalorian we test ourselves in battle, along with trying to do whats right.

"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."

Reashe: If you're wondering about Oculus her species doesn't have eyes. *She starts to put her helmet on* She's a spartan, we freed her from Cryo sleep. Her name is Mackenzie but she prefers Kenzie.
Oculus: Its nice to meet you Kenzie. *she nods towards the spartan, sounding intrigued as she wonders what about her has caused Kenzie's stare*
Oculus: Don't worry hon, I don't think she meant it as an insult. *She looks towards Kenzie* My species is vaguely related to humans, but we evolved on a planet with only infrared. I don't have eyes because my species sees with the force. Its hard to explain what its like to someone used to "normal" vision. *She wraps an arm around Jaessa's waist trying to help her relax*
Oculus: We can sense things with the force. *She reaches out, scanning Kenzie* Sometimes we even have visions. Jaessa must be able to feel things from your past.
