2307: Winter's Dream Page #4

---

I'm looking for a little girl,

she was abducted by

a rogue humanoid, my companion here

tells me that you may be able to assist.

This is no Spartan help desk, honey,

and I don't like

wasting my breath on

Federation trash, Spartan my ass.

As I said we would appreciate

any information you or Sara

may have regarding the

whereabouts of the little girl,

she'd be about five years old right now,

if you can't help,

we'll kindly be on our way.

No questions asked.

And what if I don't wanna help,

answer me,

what if I don't want to help ya,

what happens then?

Have I addressed your query?

Oh you rat fink piece of Spartan trash,

you and your Indian whores

can go kiss my hairy ass.

You won't touch my wife

you bastard, or else I'll kill you

and your whore right...

You got a permit to

have this mutated noid?

Pumping breast milk for your cookies?

She ain't a noid,

you spineless punk, she's Sara,

now don't you be wasting her,

I'm too old to train a new one

the way I like it,

I know where all them

rebel noids are hiding.

Where are they?

I've been trading with 'em

Spartan straight up I have,

I've been trading with 'em.

Trading with fugitive humanoids?

Maybe you'll only get 30 years

and old Sara here, she'll

be more than happy to get back

to the local pleasure palace

pumping milk for cookies.

Okay, okay I'll help you,

but we gotta wait for them

over there at the meet, it's over

there around about a ways,

it's no more than a couple of mile.

Okay pookey, daddy's here now,

it's daddy to come

and protect ya, come to daddy.

No harm's gonna come to ya now,

that nasty man will never...

Hey, you got no couth,

you son of a b*tch.

You got anymore fire power than this?

Does a polar bear piss

in the Irish on the woods?

This old hardware is from

a time long before yours.

Sargent Ulysses H Cage,

Spartan three, retired after 30 years

of honorable service

in the field, my ass.

Spartans don't retire,

you either die like a hero

or you go AWOL like a coward.

Why don't you put this piece

of iron down, you little

twat and I'll just show you

exactly how much of coward I am.

Why'd you run away then?

Came time for a promotion.

Well, there was just the two

of us, me with 30 years of

experience in the field,

and that cocky young upstart

straight from the academy.

He had all the enhancements

crap all that, artificial

intelligence implants

and all, yeah, yeah.

There was just the room for

one of us and it was either

my way or his way,

I guess the powers that be,

didn't like the way my

sympathies lay, so, Trajan

son of a b*tch, Trajan he got

made Commander and me...

I got dumped off out here.

Trajan?

General Trajan?

General?

Yeah, yeah, that figures,

I always knew that son of a b*tch

would suck his way up that greasy pole,

hell even when I knew him

back then, he had his nose stuck

so far up the brass's ass,

he could smell

what they had for breakfast.

Duty calls.

That's where I meet up with

them noids, right over there.

You make sure you're shooting

straight those 30 odd six

cartridges have got a kick and

I do not want to be getting

a dose of lead poisoning

before this lots all over.

To small to be a humanoid.

Who are you?

Aw sh*t, Kix.

Who?

Why's that man pointing

a gun at my husband?

Don't let them hurt my man.

Shut her up.

Stay down, Nazi b*tch.

No! Pookey, Pookey.

Pookey, no, no, no, no, no.

Pookey no, please no, don't.

Don't leave me please, no please.

It was a bad plan anyway.

The strategy is to destroy

the enemy from within,

to conquer him through himself,

don't become the enemy, Bishop.

Personification of the devil

is the symbol of all evil.

Assumes the living shape

of the humanoid,

that's you black blood.

Let me go you, you sub Seconal bastard.

The f*** off of me, we'll

kill every last one of you.

Save your breath for your attempt

to make peace with God, Spartan.

What the f*** do you

noids know about God?

You're hatched like rats in a lab.

Is the color of our blood so different?

Are we not all God's children?

God didn't make you, we did,

you just a soulless abomination...

I'm sorry, I cannot hear you,

your heart is in pain?

Well, let me have look.

Ancient warriors believed

the heart was sacred.

That a hunter who tasted it's flesh

gained insight into the spirit world.

But I see no spirit world,

perhaps she was the one

devoid of a soul.

Food for God's creatures.

You disappoint me, Bishop.

I expected so much more

from the husband of Mara.

You're more of a bully than a man.

Barbarous and cruel.

A daughter, our daughter, Mara.

Come on Bishop, come on.

Come this way.

Hut.

Waiting for you, waiting for you.

Are you my daughter?

My name is Alucia,

I've been waiting for you.

Am I dead?

Do you feel dead?

Not exactly,

just exhausted.

You've been dreaming.

Yes, I have.

And you were there.

I didn't want you to get lost.

Leave him be, Alucia.

Okay, daddy.

Why am I still alive?

I made a promise to your wife.

You killed her.

No, that is what they

want you to believe.

Why did you do it?

Why did you take her from me?

Mara was my creator, she

nurtured me even though I was

different, she was my mother.

You don't have mothers.

The Federation quarantined us

for testing after we began

to show slight genetic anomalies.

Anomalies that high command didn't like.

Like what?

Hair?

Some of us.

Others such as myself

were more... advanced.

We had developed

the ability to reproduce.

Your wife kept it a secret

for a very long time,

when she threatened

to expose the secret,

High Command stepped in.

They thought it was

a secret worth keeping

at all costs.

Stop this, you have no right, this is...

Your research here is finished,

you noid herding b*tch.

No! You killed her,

I saw it with my own eyes.

I didn't kill her, I tried to save her,

she died in my arms.

She begged me to take the baby, but...

It was to late.

Liar!

I understand why you do not believe me.

It is hard to accept

that your world is broken,

even as you begin to pick up the pieces,

but maybe, you'll believe her.

Come Alucia, let's play elsewhere.

Bishop, I'm sorry my love.

I wanted to tell you but...

I feared for your life

I learned the truth to late.

I was wrong, we were all wrong.

We created them but

we do not control them.

We are not their God,

their fate is their own.

Like us, they can love and

they can create offspring.

They have souls that long for freedom.

The humanoids must be set free.

Do you remember we talked

about going to this place?

Yes.

All the way across this land to here.

And can you remember what

this place was called?

Selegna Soul.

That's right, Selegna Soul,

so we're gonna be leaving

this cold cave to Selegna Soul

where it's warm and nice,

are you looking forward to it?

Yes.

Me too.

Why did you come back

and risk all this?

I was once a slave who

dreamt of the day I could walk
