You don’t know that.
As if they’d let me do that. Training is essential, what if I forgot how to use a gun because I slept for too long? That won’t be cool, lass.
I do, actually. You're not the first person to try and train while injured.
Wouldn't hurt to ask. Unless you get a sudden case of amnesia during your sleep, I doubt you'll forget.
{Nyx rubbed at his side, holding it slightly as he sat down. He winced.}
Are you okay?
My body needs to move. I can’t just… sit here and do nothing. And I hate books and music.
…Okay, the last one was a lie. But I’d still choose physical activity over them anytime. They can’t cage me in here forever. And a few days is forever.
Training won't do any good to your recovery.
They're not caging you in here. You can ask to go take a walk around the Academy, you might not be able to train, but they can grant you movement if they think it's good for you. And no, a few days is not forever: it's a few days.
And why not? What good is it that I have to lay here for days, before I can get back to my own feet? It’s ridiculous, I don’t need to rest that long.
I’ve rested enough, it’s been a few days… or, a day. Whatever, it still felt like days.
You're body needs the rest. Read a book, listen to music, make yourself busy without having to move. The medics know what they're doing and if you do as they say you might get out earlier.
Woah, harsh words there lass.
But that’s okay, and it’s not exactly self-sacrificial. Don’t you see? It’s a win-win situation. People get the meds, I get to get out of this place. No harm done, right?
It is what it is.
Yes harm done. To you. You won't be fully recovered and you need to be before going back to training. And don't use the "but in war we won't get to fully recover and deal with it" speech because we're not in the war. When we are then you can do whatever you want, but right now, you can't. You won't be getting out of this bed until they let you out, okay? Don't be stupid.
Things consisting… everything.
No, idiocy is a matter of perspective, lassie. And I do think me getting out of here and saving the medical resources for other people along the way is a brilliant plan.
Ah. Very precise.
Idiots act in a significantly counterproductive way, which is the way you're acting at this instant rendering you suffering from idiocy of which is not my opinion, but the truth of your actions. Don't be so self sacrificial, you need just as anyone else does and if someone wants to save it then they'll come and tell you to go themselves, not by your own accord.
Yes I do, I have things to do… yeah, things. And outside, definitely not in here.
Like I said, I’m fine lass. Perfectly so.
Things consisting what?
Do you know how idiotic it would be to go out and have to come back here because you hurt yourself even more than you are now? Very idiotic, that's how. So you'll stay here if you don't want your stay to be extended.
Sure, sure. I just see how many people abuse the kindness of our medics to get out of their training.
Yes, I've noticed. It's really awful, and very stupid of them.
It smells of pity and rubbing alcohol.
But there's also the smell of healing and recovery too, which is good isn't it?
Work in the med bay they said, it will be fun they said…right.
Oh, it's not so bad.
Seriously. I’m completely, perfectly fine. [shifts to rise, winces] Agh, bloody hell…
…I’m alright. Can I pull these IVs off now? I really need to get out of here.
No! Not until you get better. You don't need to get out, you need to heal now don't move or you'll hurt yourself even more!
Bravery | Leadership | Forward Task 2
"Cadet." One of the officers nodded as he passed her as she walked along the school. She nodded back. Though she did stop, it wasn't for the officer, who hadn't stopped her to speak with her. Instead, she stopped when she saw an explosion occur in building B. Her eyes widened as she saw smoke coming out, worried about everyone inside. She took a few steps toward the building, thinking of going in to help, but stopped when she heard another crash to her left and saw a vehicle, crashed and smoking. The front looked crumpled and she could see someone still inside.
Blythe didn't have to think twice before running toward the vehicle and prying open the driver's door. She could see now that not only one person was in there, but another one was in the passenger seat, their heads slumped into their chest. Unconscious, she would assume. This only made her act more hastily, but also more methodically and logically so her efforts would be well used.
Quickly, she worked on the driver's seat belt. Fire started at the front of the truck and her eyes widened. She didn't stop. Couldn't stop. Even when she started to doubt that she could actually get him out, she knew she couldn't. She had to save them, it was just how she was. Eventually, finally, she got the seat belt free and helped the driver out and got him away from the wreck coming back to get the passenger free. His side had taken the worse of it, but after taking his pulse she knew he was still alive. Barely. It took more time for him, and the fire that had started burned much brighter and much bigger than before. She dragged the man away from the wreck and set him down on his side just as he stirred slightly. It took her a split second to decide what to do about the fire and as soon as she knew what to do she ran inside, and when she ran out she held a fire blanket and threw it on the fire to smother it. She took a few steps back, waiting to see if the vehicle was going to go up. It seemed agonizingly long, but eventually she deemed it safe to go back to the two men she'd helped and asking them if they needed anything as medics came and took them inside.
Simulation | Combat | Forward Task 2
She wanted to impress the officials. Needed to impress the officials. Sure, she was smart, but whenever people asked her questions about her future there were always holes in her answers. Not saying that she didn't know what she wanted to do after the Academy, but not saying that she knew either. It was an in between and she needed to find a way to impress them, so she'd invited them to watch her in simulation. She wasn't the best at combat, but she wasn't the worst at it either. She did have a brother after all.
The simulation she chose was one that required a lot of mental ability to win. She'd chosen this one before and even if it was once she could remember most of it. So she started, fighting just as Thea had taught her. She dodged and kicked at the right time, though she didn't win all the battles, at least she didn't lose all of them.
When the simulation was finished she turned to the officials, those of whom had smiles to give her. "Very good, Cadet." One of them said and she offered them a smile of her own. She'd done good, she thought, and she hoped Thea would be proud of her.
Interview | Mental | Forward Task 2
Blythe fidgeted with her fingers as she walked down the hall toward the room the officials had called her too. They always made her nervous. Not because she had anything to hide, but she always thought she was a bit like an outsider. She did want to stop the Insurrectionists, but not as much as other people did. Most everyone else had such firery hatred toward them she felt they were very different from her even when they might not be. She was here because of her family, and she would keep on going for them, but she was unsure of herself a lot and she didn't think higher ups like that.
As she sat down in front of the officials, the questions soon followed suit. Some of them were like the ones Orlin had asked some time ago, but most were pretty difficult ones and had to take her time thinking them through. She hoped it didn't seem as if she was stalling or unsure --even if she was. She answered all the questions though, some not as well as others, but none were left unanswered or with an 'I don't know'. So she figured that was good, but she knew it wasn't the best. When they told her she was done and thanked her she nodded to them and walked out of the room quickly, but not too fast that they thought she was running away from something. Outside she finally let a deep breath go and kept on walking.
We Are Hastati:: Thea, Blythe, & Aliya
"Alright cadets, these UNSC officers aren’t here to watch you flop around or miss targets. They are here to see the universes best soldiers. There is a reason you are here and you better pull that reason out of your arse today. I am training you all in groups of two today so that they have a better look at you, this also means they will have more opportunities to see you screw up and if you fail, I fail." Thea spoke sternly but it was for their own good. She knew how serious these visits were, they weren’t to be waisted. Her eyes went from Blythe to Aliya, both girls were talented she just hoped they could perform today. Although neither of them were her main concern, their skills could be more easily shown than her other freshmen cadet. Gerry was tough, she needed to find a way to get them to see his full potential.
Thea led the girls onto the outdoor training ground. She could see the UNSC officers in one of the observation decks above. This was her first showing as squad leader, she couldn’t mess up. Her squad was intelligent, the smartest cadets were at her disposal but unfortunately intelligence was much harder shown than combat, stealth, or weaponry. She figured a maze simulation would show their skills best. Walking over to the panel in front of the arena she set the dials to what she wanted. It only took a minute for the maze to begin setting itself up. Walls were raised out of the ground with droid enemies hidden within.
She turned to face her cadets, “You can do this. I’m coming in with you.”
Blythe listened intently on Thea as she spoke to her and the rest of the cadets. She was worried about screwing up like Thea had said. She was smart, or so she'd been told --which should be clear being on the squad she was on--, but she always did doubt herself. She hadn't joined for the fight initially, she joined for her siblings, which was what made her doubt herself the most. But, she always tried her best. Even if she sucked at weaponry.
She followed behind Thea, back straight, shoulders back like she did in these sort of things --mostly to make herself seem taller or more professional. She really didn't want to let Thea down. She looked up to her as her squad leader, she was the best in the school, in her opinion, and she had faith in her squad leader and hoped that Thea could have the same faith in her when it came to these sort of things.
A maze. It wasn't so bad, it could have been something very different, but Thea went with something they could solve. Something that would help them succeed. She appreciated it a lot and nodded to Thea when she spoke to them.
Anyone up for a run tomorrow?
For me it’s something about the burn. I have to be careful. I can get a little… passionate, I’ve been told.
I get that. I'm pretty sure there are a few other people around here who're the same.
Anyone up for a run tomorrow?
What do you do to push yourself? What’s your process?
Well, when it comes to running with someone else and they're in front of me, I guess I just... run harder? I see it as if I'm in an exercise with my squad and I can't slow them down so I have to go faster. Or as if I'm running toward keeping the people I care for safe.
