[i]Charlie smiles wide and laughs.[/i]
"Great actually! I've got my memories and my emotions all back! Tis' a wonderful feeling!"
English
-
Cannon beams. "That's great news vod!"
-
"I need to sort through them more, but I'm staying positive! If I remember correctly, Iso and I were rather close."
-
Cannon smiles at him. "I figured that much out whil I was in her head." He sighs. "I hope I can talk to her before we deploy."
-
"She's around here looking for you too. I don't know where she got to."
-
Cannon nods. "Well, I would know if she asked about me. I wonder where she is then. Can you pinpoint her location?"
-
[i]Charlie chuckles nervously and rubs his neck.[/i] "I'm having a hard time with my powers and tech at the moment. I accidentally kinda sorta maybe blew up a mountain earlier...." [i]He sighs.[/i] "I don't think she's coming, Cannon."
-
Cannon frowns. "Oh... Ouch. Um... Could you maybe deliver a message to her for me the next time you see her?"
-
[i]Charlie nods.[/i] "Of course, vod! What is it?"
-
Cannon fumbles with one of his pouches and pulls out a small envelope. "Here, it's... Just a few things I'd have liked to tell her before being shipped off."
-
[i]Charlie puts it in a pocket of his.[/i] "Sure thing, Cannon. I hope you get back safely."
-
He nods. "All honesty, I'm tired. I'm tired of warfare. I'm tired of killing. And I'm tired of not having anywhere to settle down." He says, running a hand through his crew cut hair.
-
[i]Charlie pats Cannon on the back.[/i] "I feel the same way. We all do."
-
Cannon nods. "It's just... It's all I've ever known. It's what I was made for, bread for. If I can't continue with it, then what am I?"
-
[i]Charlie stares down at the ground and gets quiet.[/i] "I don't know....What are we?"
-
For a moment Cannon's usual mask slips, revealing the scared kid he allways tries to hide. "At least you know you've lived outside of war." He whispers.
-
"I was always in war actually. My father was a general before he owned WM Corp. I was raised to fight and did when I was of age. Iso knows me as a writer and poet because I was part of a special forces division that had to be kept secret. Sure, Iso and Charlotte had a normal childhood, but Chuck and I are in the same boat as you."
-
Cannon pats his shoulder. "At least we aren't alone?"
-
[i]Charlie smiles up at Cannon.[/i] "True. We should focus on the positive."
-
Cannon opts for a smile. "Agreed." Suddenly a Mando jogs up to them. "Sir, te alor just cleared us for take off. You're needed at your post with the raider division."
-
[i]Charlie sighs.[/i] "That's your que to leave. I hope you come back safe, Cannon."
-
"Hey, if I can survive you guys, I can survive a bunch of idiots in plastice armor. Besides, this time I've got something to come back to. I'll see you in about a week vod."
-
[i]Charlie bows before he starts to walk off and wave goodbye.[/i] "I'll see you then, vod."
-
The last he sees of Cannon is the Mandalorian climbing aboard a combat transport. He pulls on his helmet, merging seamlessly with the faceless mass of warriors around him as it lifts into the air towards the dreadnaught.
-
[i]Charlie's smile vanishes as Cannon leaves. He pulls out the letter and looks it over.Voices in his head go off.[/i] [b][u]Burn it![/u][/b] [b]No, but we should open it.[/b] [u] No! Cannon entrusted me to get it to Iso. It means a lot to him.[/u] [b]He never said we couldn't take a look.[/b] [u][b]He has stolen Iso from us! We were suppose to marry her! We ARE suppose to marry her! She's our fiance still, yes? We should kill him when he gets back if he's not already dead! Screw the letter! He's our enemy![/b][/u] [u]Stop it! I'll agree to taking a look, but I'm giving it to Iso no matter what.[/u] [b]You're weak![/b] [b][u]You're weak![/u][/b] [i] Charlie slowly opens the letter and reads it.[/i]

Edited by Cannon011: 12/17/2016 11:09:10 PMThe letter is written in clean, printed handwriting, almost like a military report. It reads: [i]Dear Iso If you're reading this, it means I wasn't able to find you before I got shipped out. Sorry. I'm not great with words as you know, let alone writting, but here goes. First off I want to say thank you. You were the first person outside of my clan I ever got close to, and the first that didn't treat me like a simple machine. You gave me a glimpse of what peace is, and thanks to that I have the strength to continue, despite everything that's happened to me. Second, and my brothers would be laughing if they saw this, I just want to say don't worry about me. I've made it this far, and for once I have someone to return for. And finally, I love you. Thanks for everything. I'll see you soon, ner cyare. Cannon.[/i]
