I grow tired of listening to constant lies regarding the state of our homeworlds. Been asked why this... crew... would lie to us. When they stated they would not.

[He snorts]

I ask why they would not.

They wish to keep us here, hmn? Must have been a lot of work to gather us all... why would they want us to slip away? To look for an escape? Waste of all their efforts. Best to keep your prisoners compliant... when there are so many more of them than there are guards. Or, shall I say... crew?

I do not believe their story. Not asking anyone to agree with me, I do not care if you do or do not.

Just saying.

What lies about our homeworlds?

[ He hasn't been listening in on conversations, really. And his homeworld and Earth are important to him. ]

Idiot.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...You okay, Ironhide?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Fool.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am fine.

[heavyweaponsbot]

We are expected to believe they are destroyed.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Yeah, fine.

[whistlesatengineers]

Unlikely.

[ He hopes. ]

Though I wouldn't expect anything less out of the Covenant.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You do not sound it.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmpf! I agree! Our worlds are still there, despite what they say.

...

The what.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Neither do you.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I... dislike being told lies. That is all.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

Me either.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... So you agree, then?

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

With...what you said? I think so. I'm not sure what to think anymore.

[whistlesatengineers]

Don't know anything that could destroy that many worlds anyway.

Covenant. Big ugly alien religious fanatics. Think the human race needs to die.

[ If text could have a tone, his would be 'Full of angry loathing'. ]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then we will get back to trying to get home.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Neither do I.

[Since he's from before everyone started screaming about the sun exploding, anyway.]

Sounds... familiar.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

I'm not...sure what to do about that. There doesn't seem to be a way.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Then we will find a way.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

If anyone can find a way, it'd be you.

[She just...prays that he doesn't.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Us.

We will find a way.

[chopshopgoddess.livejournal.com]

There's...I can't do anything. I can't help much.

[And she doesn't want to, STOPIT IRONHIDE]
