ButtercreamAwe
I'm sorry
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Sorry? That's all you have to say? After betraying us? You know what, ButtercreamAwe? I don't need your apology. I need answers. What were you thinking?
ButtercreamAwe
I was trying to protect us
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Protect us? By betraying us? By putting ourselves in danger? That's your fucking plan, ButtercreamAwe? I trusted you. I fucking trusted you, and you broke that trust.
ButtercreamAwe
Fine...I'll explain
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Explain yourself, ButtercreamAwe. Now.
ButtercreamAwe
The whole plan was not just about us...it was about the survival of humankind
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Don't you dare use that excuse, ButtercreamAwe. We all knew the risks involved in this mission. We signed up for it, willingly or not. But betrayal? That wasn't supposed to be part of the plan. So, go on then. Tell me how you justify your actions.
ButtercreamAwe
I had intel that the covenant were planning something bigger...something that could end us all
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Intel? You got intel and didn't bother to share it with the rest of us? You made that decision? And you fucking thought you could handle it alone?
ButtercreamAwe
No...I didn't plan on handling it alone...but the others weren't enough...I had to make sure they didn't screw this up like before
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
Before? What the hell are you talking about, ButtercreamAwe? What the fuck happened before? Tell me, because I'm starting to lose my patience here.
ButtercreamAwe
flashback begins Years ago...I was part of a team sent to investigate an ancient alien artifact...we were only a few humans in comparison to the thousands of soldiers the covenant had...I had to make a choice...trust in our team or get help from the covenant

narrows his eyes, processing the information So, let me get this straight. You made a deal with the devil because you were scared.
ButtercreamAwe
I had no other choice! They knew everything about us. Our numbers were insignificant compared to theirs.
Master Chief

throws his rifle to the ground Damn it, ButtercreamAwe! You should have told us. We could have come up with another plan.
ButtercreamAwe
The covenant wanted me to lead the mission...they wanted me to prove my loyalty
Master Chief
AI roleplay episode
clenches his fists Loyalty? You think they gave a shit about your loyalty? They just wanted to use you, ButtercreamAwe. They wanted to manipulate us, to turn us against each other.
ButtercreamAwe
I know...but I had no choice...it was the only way to save humankind
Master Chief

Master Chief

ButtercreamAwe
So they'll attack the civilians
Master Chief

Damn right they will, ButtercreamAwe. They'll go for the weak spots, the ones who can't defend themselves. But not on my watch.
ButtercreamAwe
How do we stop them?
Master Chief

ButtercreamAwe
I look determined
