[quote=@Ariamis] Lorenzo took another bite from his sundae. [color=f26522]"Now, does anyone have questions before I announce who the squad leader will be?"[/color] Lorenzo asked in a bored tone. [color=f26522]"Yes, that includes you, Karamote. You may have missed out on the fun, but that doesn't mean you have to just stand there like a fresh lobotomite. You too, Paris. Stay sharp."[/color] [/quote] Orion looked up, realizing that Lorenzo was trying to get his attention. [color=f26522][i]"You too, Paris. Stay sharp." [/i][/color] "No problem, L." Ever since Orion first met Lorenzo, he had called him that. He still had questions to ask Lorenzo, a lot of them. He was still clueless about why the Cruxi didn't kill him, and he hadn't spoken or even told anyone about that situation, and he should of. Orion, looked back down at the device, he was watching a replay of the mock battles. He didn't even know they were recorded. Possibly for his and the other guys purpose. He watched this one segment and replayed it over and over. [i][color=8dc73f]"I can't do this, I've had enough. No more. I'm gonna quit."[/color][/i] [color=8dc73f][i]""My team was wiped out, and I'm the only one left...I can't fight anyone anymore, even if I wanted to. This..anger...I don't want it. I'm done.""[/i][/color] Orion, had already found someone to be friends with and he hadn't met them yet. He wondered of Koehler was already here, probably. Considering Zeus took, longer to prep.. He knew he was already here. He couldn't wait to see Roxy in action, with his own eyes instead of on a digital screen. He also wanted to get back inside Zeus, he hadn't been inside him for a bit. Orion wondered, if he should talk to Lorenzo, or talk to Koehler about it first. The Cruxi incident.. Orion decided Koehler should know, he'd get a laugh out of the fact that he apparently got struck by lightning, survived and didn't know about it, they have it under classified video files. Funny thing, Is Orion can access it. After the lecture, he decided to go wander off, and finally talk to Koehler after a month or two. Like the goofball Orion can be he waited for Koehler to realize he had walked up on him. Mouth sucking on a loli-pop.. And the split second Koehler would realize. Orion was ready to say 'Watcha-doin there? Bud?' He had a grin on his cheek, as he walked up to Koehler. He definitely needed to tell him about the whole Cruxi incident, seems like it happened literally yesterday. It's been so long. Orion had much to-do. Especially make friends with Elora, she needed a friend like Orion, at-least he thought so. He wasn't a big brute, he was sometimes as scared as Elora... well not as scared, but he sure as hell could be as traumatized.. That brang a flood of old memories.. No not his ex, nor his sister would be brang up unless it was on the battle field, and used as an insanity trigger. His Insanity Trigger was odd, it didn't effect his Synchro Rate, because it was positive insanity. Yet it was very disturbing to watch Orion become a killing machine. It was a drug, in Orions sense, he got off on it.. He liked it, yet he still liked to keep his sanity in touch. It's like an over-dosed sugar high, fueled by the hatred of the Cruxi.. yeah that sounded right to Orion.. It sounded right indeed.
