>>24375881>For better or for worse then, Izuna would endure... >Underneath his helmet the petty officer frowned at being called soft again. But... maybe there might be some merit to it, the man hardly the abusive sort and unable to condone it. Even if he hardly knew Izuna and the little bastard tried to boss him and the Marines around as their "acolytes". To say nothing of the possession attempt. Tora was hardly any better at that. >Still, call it intuition, but the Chief had a feeling about these two. But only time and effort would tell, Cortana laughing in his helmet before speaking to Izuna. (CTN) I do not envy you in that task.
>Keeping Tora out of trouble sounded like a damn tall order indeed. (!17) Our mission is done here it seems for now and we'll be returning to our vessels.
>Again, the mention of going after a human village caused the SPARTAN to speak with iron in his tone. (117) Don't do that.
>And then came the mention of serving a greater demon and the "Broomsprayer", one of the troopers grumbling to himself. (MRN #2) Does he mean "Doomslayer"?
(MRN #5) I thought he went by Doomguy myself.
(MRN #2) Same difference I guess.
>But it seemed as if they "were" acolytes of Izuna now at Tora's orders, the SPARTAN inwardly sighing as he wondered if maybe he should've let Tora skin the green fox... >Too late now, the pair departing in rapid fashion, the sonic boom causing a few leathernecks to shout as their Warthogs were rocked by the aftershocks. (MRN #1) Sheesh, what's with that guy?
>No comment from the Chief, Cortana seeing fit to speak. (CTN) We have to remember, they're youkai. So they're not like us. At all. I suggest continuing to tread lightly when dealing with them Chief.
>A nod from the MCPO at that. Hopefully he wouldn't get into *too* much trouble with them in the future...
