"Who said I ever cared about the war? I've never been affiliated, or want to be affiliated with the war. Look, i'm an engineer, as I said, but i'm also a bounty hunter. If you were my bounty target, I would kill you where you stand. You talk about everyone being together, but that's not the way of sentient beings. They have an urge to kill, to fight one another, to prove who is the strongest. Being together won't change that, and it may simply fall back on you in the long run, possibly even leading to your demise." Nova pulled her arm away from Terrisa and rose her to meet her face to helmet, a faint glow of her eyes seen through the helmet.
"It's nature, it always was nature, and always will be nature. You can't stop the flow of nature or you risk far greater than you would if you left it undisturbed." Nova then put her down, turned and started waalking away.
"Well I think it makes you look adorable." Mima said, pinching his cheek while chuckling.

In a blur of motion, The Reaper sliced to and fro the underbelly of the ship, revealing wiring, leaking fuel, and finally a way inside the ship. It burst through the small hole, coming into the main compartment of the ship, ripping open the door to the pilot's compartment, causing Selarious to turn around, barely dodging a kunai as he rose a organic looking pistol towards the Reaper, who quickly disarmed and cutted Selarious.
Sirens filled it's ears, so it quickly tapped some keys on it's arm, teleporting him back to his ship. It then watched as Selarious's ship exploded.
"Justice has been served." The Reaper muttered, looking to the pistol now lying in it's hands, examining it. "And I get a prize."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Nhiome entered the room too, but was at a loss what to look for. He then went to the wall opposite the entrance, and using the welder, started examining it. He tried looking for what she had mentioned, but could spot nothing unusual. He gave up and stepped to the doorway to keep an eye on the Demonarc.

Dalia frowned as her search proved futile.
"Nothing..." She went over to the wall opposite of the door. "Well...at least we don't have to worry about that Demonarc while we're in here...I guess we have time to-" Right before she could finish her sentence she leaned an arm against an empty torch holster on the wall, which shifted and a trapdoor opened under her. "Kyaaah-!?" Dalia fell to the darkness below and the trap door began to close.

It nagged at the back of my mind for some time now, but it was not worthy of my attention. However...you on the other hand, you're worth my while...for you've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Terrisa watched Nova walk away with tears starting to flow down her cheeks. "....'Those ignorant of the time in which they live in will find themselves cast into an abyss which is born from the chaos. That abyss is the war which shall define an era. Thus those ignorant of the war are doomed to fall.'...I don't want to see anymore fall...I...I want to help everyone." She closed her eyes and began to walk away towards where Kiara and Mara were. as she walked, she put on a strong face and pushed aside her feelings.
Kiara smiled. "Actually these training sessions are more combat oriented. Commander Sullivan actually designed the tests himself. They test your judgment in combat. I've seen a few and...they can be brutal. Imagine grown men crying like babies." Kiara smiled wryly. "It's more an emotional test to see how far you can go before you break."
"Hai Kiara! Mara! Heading to the training area?"
"Oh! Terrisa! There you are. Yes, we are heading there. I just have to see what your brother can really do."
"Mhm- Did he say anything about his abilities?"
"Why, yes he did."
"Hehe, well whatever he said, halve it. Anyway I want to see Arrow's abilities...he's only recently picked up his swords so I would imagine he's a bit rusty."
"Oh? I saw him with that one sword, but he is skilled with a blade? That's rare..."
"Mhm! He used to be able to hold his own in training, but I've never seen him use a sword in a few years."

"Oh finally...someone with credentials." The communications officer sighed in relief. On Terra's end, he appeared as a young man of moderate build with blonde spiked hair and a silver basic officers jacket and a hoodie underneath.
Then he addressed her directly. "Running a profile check, please wait." As he said this, the computer began to run through New Genesis databanks. Finally it came positive. "...ok good...Ok You're clear to land. Hangar Bay M-259 is currently open. You may proceed with your approach."

Commander Sullivan seemed to sigh slightly though his expression barely changed. "So you are nothing more than a number? Disposable? So when you die, there would be nothing of your existence save a number that gets taken off a tally? You are human, correct? What is your name."

The knight did not immediately respond to the Reaper's question. Instead he walked over to the discarded picture that was of the two knights and the girl and picked it up. "Ah...I remember this day..." He tossed the picture onto the controls that the Reaper was looking at. "Events of the past always have a way to come back to haunt the present. Wouldn't you agree?"

"That is my name.", John said to Commander Sullivan in a serious, cold tone.
Cortana sighed at the entire conversation and interrupted them.
"John... His name is John... You see, Spartan-IIs don't like to give out their names and identify themselves as their Spartan Designation Number. They were trained to be that way.", Cortana calmly explained to Commander Sullivan.
John glanced over to Cortana and gave a slight frown under his helmet. He was a little annoyed that she decided to give his name out so freely.
