[b]Repairing the Jumpships[/b]
[i]1500, Cosmodrone, Old Russia[/i]
Sarah helping a Hunter repair and mod his Phaeton.
"Hey, can you hand me a wrench?" She asked.
"Don't you have some form of [i]The Force[/i] or some bulls**t like that?" He asked.
She rolled out from under the Phaeton. Her face was grease stained. She wasn't wearing her usual Warlock robes. She was wearing an oil stained, white spaghetti strap tank top. She wore camoflauge cargo pants.
"The proper phrase for [i]some form of The Force[/i] is Force Sensitivity. I guess in a nutshell you could say I do. But right now, if I move anything heavier than 50 pounds I'll get a headache. Plus I'm kinda saving my energy. So hand me the wrench and I'll finish the mods you requested," she explained.
The Hunter grunted. He handed her the wrench. She rolled back under the Phaeton, installing the stealth drive he'd requested.

The crying seemed to grow louder as he drew closer.
-
He finally finds her, and immediately rushes to her. He quickly kneels down and pulls her into a tight hug, as if he's clinging to her for dear life.
-
She cries as turns around and hugs back. "Please... don't go...."
-
"Sarah, I promised I wouldn't leave ya, remember?" He replies, holding her so tight she can feel his heartbeat.
-
"I... remember. But what if that promise breaks? Too much thinking is bad for me..... Sometimes... I wish... I wish... I wish I was a Titan or Hunter." She continues to cry.
-
"Sarah, have I e'er broken a promise to you?" He asks her.
-
"No.... But this one is based upon pure hope. Oh, light..."
-
He now has tears in his eyes. He cups her cheek so she looks him in the eye. "Sarah, I swear naw e'en death would keep me from you. An' besides, I've made it this far, right?"
-
She nods.
-
"An' I didn't have you all that time watchin' my back. Now I do. I don' think the odds are tha' bad." He smiles, though it's forced.
-
She forced a smile. "I think I've cracked it... why she's like this. Well, at least how to figure out, what exactly traumatized her. I know it's third life origin. Trust me, I tried reading through those memories, but it was so... uh... lengthy.... and horrible, I couldn't continue," Lunar said. "I don't like to think about that life. I'm lucky I'm able to quote the Book of Sorrows without thinking of well.... The events," Sarah replied.
-
"... Why in the Traveler's name would ya read that thing?"
-
"I was young, stuck on the Dreadnaught with the Hive, Mia as my only company. When I wasn't being tortured, I was bored." She suddenly falls silent again.
-
"Oh..." Finn replies, still hugging her. "Wow... That's... Huh. Really sinilar to Finn's story, albeit he had less company and it was Fallen, not Hive." Wisp says.
-
"The worst part is... Mia and I were mostly human. Although we had the Light in us, we couldn't hone it. It practically kept us alive. And we suffered. Until the Traveler whispered to us. Told us a way to hone our light and escape. While the whispers were cryptic, but I understood...." She tells.
-
"How long were you prisoner?" Wisp asks.
-
"15 years. Took 9 years to navigate the void to reach Earth," she replies.
-
"Wow..." Finn says, slight admiration in his voice. "Finn was prisoner of the Fallen for almost twenty before he was rescued. He didn't even get food that whole time." Wisp says,
-
"I practically didn't know what food was until my second year as a guardian," Sarah replied.
-
"Heh... Yeah." Finn laughs a bit. Suddenly, they hear someone approach them.
-
"What was that?" Sarah asked. Her eyes darted left and right, trying figure out what was approaching.
-
Finn stands up. "I dont know..." He draws a knife. "Guardians approaching." Wisp says.
-
"I have a bad feeling about this."
-
"Yeah..." Suddenly, a shotgun blast tears through the silence and Finn is thrown to his knees, blood gushing from his stomach. "Fíonn!" Wisp immediately moves to help him when a second shotgun blast sounds. The Ghost falls to the ground.
-
Sarah ran to Finn's side, weeping, "NO! No. Why....?" She turned to the guardians, "Why would you do this?"
