"Well... It's worse to be an Exo Guardian. Your memories as shuffled like a deck of cards. You remember it and then it is discarded until all the Cards are used. And that's only the pre-guardian memories. The ones you have as a guardian are imprinted into your mind, and are stronger than the rest," Mark explained.

"I can't even imagine... Must be rough." Cylus says solemnly. "Hey, how about we get out of here for now? Or while we're here, we could run some simulators." he says, raising an eyebrow at the ezo. "That is.. If you're up to it."
-
"There's this one memory that needs to be simulated for me to understand, or at least projected," Mark said.
-
"We can whip it up, just tell Q and we'll get it done." Cylus replies.
-
"Havoc... give my memories to Q. He can go through them and I'll tell you which one," Mark requested. "Alright. Q, I keep a file of all of Mark's memories. The file is encrypted to avoid file corruption, but it's nothing you can't crack," Havoc told Q, "Sending the file now." The file's encryption pattern was a pattern of 54, 77, 13, 61, 1055, 93.

[quote]*Loading the simulation now. Just have to upload the files and we'll be ready to go.* Q says[/quote] "You ready?" Cylus asks, turning to the Hunter [spoiler]Go ahead and set it up![/spoiler]

The surroundings in the chamber changed into a large room filled with stasis pods. Most of the pods were occupied. And as the last one was occupied. Mark-54 wasn't in his armor. No, he was wearing civilian clothes. He stood next to another Exo. It looked female, who was also in civilian clothes. She had grey base plating, yellow eyes and a yellow stripe down her face. Mark slammed his first into a nearby pillar. And for the first time, the memory wasn't silent. "Mark...." The other Exo said, "Calm down, dear." "Molly...." Mark told her, "It's just.... frustrating. Rasputin and the other warminds shut down. Charlemange whispered to me and told me to go into stasis. Now Matthew and Morgan are in the last two stasis pods in the system."
-
Cylus watches the screen and turns to Mark. "Is this... Before?" he asks
-
Havoc looked to Cylus, "Yes... He has never heard the conversation that happened in that memory." Molly sighed, "Let's get home. Back to Earth. If something is coming for us, perhaps we should say final goodbyes to our friends, both Human, and Exo." Molly reached for Mark's hand. The memory blinked. Then flashed to another. It appeared to be in a ship that was going to crash. Mark had rushed to the cockpit, to bring the ship out of autopilot, and to correct its path. It crashed through Mars's semi-thick atmosphere, into the sands, and everything in the memory went black.
-
"What's happening? Why did it change like that?" Cylus asks curiously. He stares at the monitors closely, taking in every possible detail.
-
"That must have been the last clear memories before he died," Havoc said, "Q. End the simulation!"
-
With that, Q cuts the screens to black. "So what was that? You crashing on Mars certainly has something to do with you being a guardian..." Cylus says
-
Mark stepped out of the pod, "I died on Mars. But there's so many questions that are unanswered."
-
"Do you think that where you were discovered? You said it yourself, Guardians [i]are[/i] on Mars fighting the space turtles." Cylus asks He turns to face havoc with a curious look. "Where did [i]you[/i] find Mark in the first place?" he asks the ghost
-
"Mars, near a crashed ship," Havoc said.
-
Cylus looks at Mark. "So if that's where Havoc revived you, what does that mean for your other memories?" he asks. "And wouldn't you have memories of your own?" he asks the ghost
-
"Yep. But honestly the first two centuries is me looking for Mark," Havoc replied. "Man, it was a pain to get the sand out of my armor," he remembered.
-
"Well." Cylus says. "That's a start." "You've got anything else?"

Edited by Splashback77: 7/11/2017 4:07:27 AM"That Exo... Molly... she must have been close to me before I died. I mentioned two people, Matthew and Morgan. Who are they, and how do I know them?" Mark wondered. Someone busted in. A woman. Wearing a black, V-neck leather jumpsuit. She didn't wear gloves with them, odd enough. And on her middle finger was a ring made of silver, and motes of light replacing diamonds. A Ghost followed her, with a Light gray shell that had moondust stick to it. She had golden-brown hair that tumbled past her shoulders, and hazel eyes that were soft. She had an hourglass build, was 5 foot 10, and had strong leg muscles. She had ammunition on a belt around her waist. And two holsters, one for her Havoc Pigeon, the other for her Wormwood. "Sarah? What are you doing here?" Mark asked, startled. "Don't keep your comm channel open," she told them, "Lunar and I were listening in. Honestly, I wanted to know what you were doing. I know, the whole espionage deal is Mia's freelance thing, but I decided to give it a shot. I heard the word [i]simulation[/i] and figured, might as well test out a prototype."
-
Cylus reached for and aimed his gun as the woman bursted in. But as he realized she and Mark knew each other, he lowered it slowly. "You going to introduce me to your friend?" he asks. "Another guardian, I presume."
-
"Yeah, I'm a Warlock," she continued, "I'm Sarah, Sarah Grey." She studied Cylus, "Who are you?"
-
"The name's Cylus." he says, shaking her hand. He looks back at Mark. "What's a warlock? That like a hunter?"
-
Cylus could see the ring on her finger. Mark explained, "Guardians are split into three groups depending on why they manipulate their light. Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks. Hunters manipulate it their light yo survive. Titans to protect the Last City. And Warlocks in pursuit of knowledge." Sarah added on, "And mostly by the armor they wear. Hunters wear light armor, for agility and speed, and cloaks as a symbol of their free spirit. Titans wear bulky and strong armor so they can tough out long fights. Warlocks wear robes as a symbol of knowledge on the battlefield. And I am not wearing my armor right now." Mark whispered to Cylus, "I used to have a huge crush on her until recently."
-
"This is vital information." Cylus nods his head. "I'm a pilot, one if the highest ranks in the Militia. Second only to commanders and captains." he says. "Mark and I were going over some simulations of our past. How we died and what not."
-
"Interesting... because I know how I died. And how s***ty my life was before that," Sarah muttered. "Mind if I use this simulation room?" She asked.

Edited by BondyMilk: 7/11/2017 5:07:53 AM"Sure. Q, get outta there." [quote]*Will do.* Q replies, echoing throughout the room.[/quote] Lights on his suit blinked as Q re-entered iy, and Cylus gestured for the Sarah to step forth.
