Chapter Five: Retribution
-
Faye keeps her gaze steady, being sure to never actually say words, but just think them. Just to fuck with her. Ohohoh!~ That’s what they all say Caly!~ Everyone thinks their losses overcome all of the losses of the world combined! I think it, you think it, but I’m not the one panicking and raising my voice. Hehehe~ I haven’t spoken a word yet!~
-
Calypsa nods again. “Of course. When he first came to our Universe, he took on the name Ulysses, and settled on Earth… waiting for whatever it was he came for… He married a woman named Penelope, and had a child named Telemachus. He loved them dearly… and then the war came. This was 2000 years ago. Surely you’ve heard of it, the first Great Interplanetary War, 500 years ago. We called it the Polypheman War at the time.”
-
*Pandora swooped over to Faye*”Girl trust me you don’t have any screws loose, just stop laughing or else you might have a heart attack”, Pandora said worried,”Wait if you have dat many screws loots that means she probably has dislodged a panel of her sanity?”, she thought then shook her head to clear it.”Nah she is fine she just is freaking out is all”, she though.
-
“Yes, I do remember. Continue.” Jack said.
-
Faye looks at Pan, her eyes shifting rapidly again as she thinks… Pandora can read minds as well? Oh what fun! If only I figured this out so much longer ago! And Pandora is honestly one of the people I don’t mind dealing with~ Just her, Geralt…maybe Apollo…maybe…
-
“The Polypheman War… Named for the maniac Polyphemus who lead the opposing army…” The room darkens slightly at the mention of his name, and Calypsa shudders. “Ulysses joined the Rebellion against Polyphemus. He became a leading general…”
-
Apollo slowly stood up without any outward signs of pain, although the OGA suit he was wearing was quote torn and was exposing a lot of cut skin. “ I need to speak to Aetheress. I haven’t done her any good for the last few decades. Calypsa, is this the O.S.S Fury?” Apollo looked around at the frames of the O.S.S Fury.
-
“Why does he keep using old Greek mythology names? Kinda stupid, but continue.” Jack said.
-
“Why does he keep using old Greek mythology names? Kinda stupid, but continue.” Jack said.
-
“If only he knew what it would cost him. Ulysses became the leading general of the Resistance… but Polyphemus… the monster…” Calypsa sheds a tear, coughing and hesitating.
-
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you-uh, maybe we can continue this tomorrow?” <i>Jack asked.</i>
-
Apollo looked angrily at Jack. “Problem with Greek names, are we?”
-
“Yes, please.” Calypsa sips her tea, and looks down at the floor.
-
Faye watches the fray from a distance, laughing for no apparent reason as her eyes shift colors rapidly… Then she wonders if the OGA was still tracking her somehow. Would the signal be able to reach this far? Oh wouldn’t that be such a plot twist!
-
Rose looked at Calypsa, “Are you alright Ms. Calypsa?” She was going to stay her distance, but she wasn’t going to be cruel.
