I knew that Dom's been looking for his wife over the past 15 years so he was hoping to find her here as well. Marco's been a pain in the ass, but he's like a brother to Aria and me, so he survived and got on another raven to help out Control.
As we moved further in, I knew that we had to be fucked from the get go and I always hated being right. I've been having a bad feeling lie in my gut after figuring out that he needed to know.
But, after finding Chap's group, we were told about the locust stronghold when Dom asked,"Have you seen this woman?" while showing him the picture of Maria. He said,"She's pretty. I think she was down here. With Stu's group. But they were taken a while ago. Further in. There's a dam, take a left and you'll find camps along the way."
He noticed me and asked,"Don't you have a sister missy? If so, you better stay alive to keep her on the straight and narrow. You hear?" I nodded in agreement while Dom and Marcus talked with Baird and Cole about getting them up to the surface while we went to the stronghold with Jack to get the beacon going to help other Gears come in.
We began following the trail and got onto a boat of sorts after dealing with some grubs. The platform we were standing on was disconnected and we were fucked from there on out till we captured a locust gunship.
We got on when I slipped and had to try and get my balance when Marcus grabbed my wrist and shifted his body weight to counteract mine. After that, I found a place to sit down and help with the various locust gunships came from both sides.
I kept swearing, surprising the guys with my acute swearing abilities. Course, if Aria fucking heard me half the fucking time, she'd grab a bar of soap or something and give me such a look saying,"Watch your mouth Shannon."
We kept moving after getting off the boat when Dom and Marcus had an argument about finding Maria. Dom said,"Look Marcus, the old man said to take a left at the dam. I've got to know. You'd do the same for your father."
He started off but I had finally gotten started seeing the tension. Marcus caught up with his friend but I stayed put ignoring the order to move out. I bit my bottom lip before tears began stinging my eyes. I just couldn't take them arguing about anything. And I said so."Look, if you two want to argue over something, don't do it with me around. Because My parents did the same damned thing in front of Aria and me when we were kids. So, I pretty much just raised Aria myself." And got moving.
Eventually, we found the computer with symbols and knew that we needed to find the same one where they have stored Maria. We found it and had Jack work on the cell that Maria was in when I was separated from the guys in a center of fucking grubs and I fucking screamed when one grabbed me from behind and placed a hand over my mouth stopping my scream.
But they were killed off and Jack beeped after that fire fight. But my heart had begun to ache for Dom. But I didn't know why when I eased myself to my feet when Jack beeped again in front of another cell after getting the door open. Dom had to shoot Maria, but I knew what that beep meant when I saw my mother for the first time since I was just a girl.
But she was already dead and I had to leave and regroup with Dom and Marcus. After doing so, we dressed in grub armor. Granted, it didn't really fit me, but it worked for the time being and we also found Franklin. Eventually, we had gotten to the center of the complex and got some help from Baird and Cole.
