Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
Jack made sure no one over the comms heard his words besides Rose. “Opinion? Well, uh…you’re pretty cool. Katherine’s a little rude, but so am I. Faye betrayed me, so I think she might be planning shit possibly, I’m not sure. I’ll try to get some information out of her some way. Geralt seems pretty okay, better than before. He’s nice. Pandora, she’s sweet. I don’t really like Malice, since she thinks she knows Daomer, calling them ‘demons’. She doesn’t know what they’re capable of yet. Apollo’s Apollo, Ody’s Ody, and Andy’s a good guy. What’s your opinion? Present company included.” Jack asked.
-
That’s good to hear. Look, about the last time we saw each other…
-
Apollo waited for data to come back to him. “Damn, what’s taking them so long? I won’t worry but Jack turned off his comms. Andaluza, do you have an idea of what’s going on?”
-
“Hm?”
-
Rose looked around thoughtfully, “Hmm…you’re pretty cool, though I do believe you need to relax more often, it’ll make survival easier. Mr. Fluffy is pretty nice as well, though I do not believe he is emotionally stable at the moment when I saw him on the ship. Mr. Pure Breed is very hyper and nice, though I do think he jumps around a bit too much sometimes. Ms. Asphodel, well I honestly do not wish to be near her, she betrayed two of my most treasured people and that puts her low on my list. Mr. Wind is a really cool guy as well, I knew he wasn’t bad in the beginning too, but like you, I believe he needs to relax at times. Ms. Free is herself, she’s thankfully calmed down some through the years. When I first met her, she was worse, but I love her all the same.” Rose stopped when she spotted something dark in the distance.
-
“Is it easier to remember who people are with the Mr. and Ms.?” Jack asked, thoroughly confused on who half of these people even were.
-
Rose had a forced smile on her face, “Uh, no…more like an ingrained habit…..do you see that?”Rose pointed to the dark thing in the distance.
-
“What thing?” He said, spinning his head around.
“I don’t see it.”
-
Rose sighed, walking a bit more and pointing towards the now identified round-ish shape of something, “That, now do you see?” Don’t tell me he has bad eye-sight or she’s delusional, Rose thought in despair.
-
“Oh, that.” Jack saw the giant dome-like structure, realizing the size of it.
“Woah…that must be where the base is.” <i>He said, astonished.</i>
-
Rose looked surprised, “Are we absolutely sure though? I don’t want to doubt us but, what if the terrain isn’t as flat as we think it is?” She didn’t want to give the others false information.
-
“Well, on Earth, or any planet you’ve ever been to, have you seen a perfectly spherical dome in the middle of fucking nowhere?” Jack said, pointing to the enormous thing in the distance.
-
Does she care about me, at all? Hurt can be sensed in his voice, the pain of his heart overflowing into his voice. He keeps a tear from rolling down his cheek, but he keeps it back with a lot of effort.
(Talking about Rose)
-
Apollo tapped into the comms and started talking to both Jack and Rose. “What’s going on? You’ve not spoken in about 20 minutes!”
-
Rose giggled a bit, “Actually, yes. But I’ll take your word for it this time.” Rose spoke to Apollo through the comm, “We think we found the OGA’s base, we’re gonna check it out a bit.” Rose started walking closer to the dome.
