Nightflash sighed as the squad walked through the hospital's main doors and walked up to the reception desk "we're here to see spartan-278" the receptionist didn't notice him till he said that and she looked up from her desk to answer him "you're in luck he regained consciousness about half an hour ago" Nighflash instantly had a look of relief on his face "what room?" the receptionist felt a little wierd with the squad of lightly armed, but armed nonetheless, spartans in the reception area "floor 4, room 117, but I must insist that you leave your weapons here" Nightflash nodded then called to his squad "hey guys weapons leave em here" they all nodded, Clide and Maria gave their weapons to the security team without hesitation, Brass was a little hesitant and Ocelot had to have his wrestled from his grip but eventually he let it go and they all went off to where the receptionist directed them. As soon as Nightflash walked in the room he could barely believe his eyes "King you're alive" King sat in the hosptial bed as he looked to the door to see his friend standing in the doorway and he's a little relieved that nightflash survived although slightly envious that he did uninjured "well well look who made it out alive, did the the other two as well" nightflash sat down next to his bed but before he could the rest of his squad walked in the room and Brass piped up "yeah we survived luckily" Clide sat opposite his bed "yeah but I heard some weren't so lucky" King's look went from relief to sadness as he remembered it "yeah Mythic was killed saving me and Roxanne made it out with a sliced abdomin hopefully she'll make it through" Nightflash was suddenly curious "wait Roxanne's alive" King looked to Nightflash before answering "yeah but she's been unconscious since we got here and it's unlikely she'll be waking up soon, and the doctor's just barely managed to stop her from bleeding to death, luckily the plasma from the energy sword slightly cauterized the wound while slicing through, otherwise she would've bled out before we got here" king looked out the window as he thought about what happened "we were meant to be the defence for them all but we let them down" Nightflash put his hand on King's shoulder "you did the best you could" King looked out the window still reliving it "did we?" Nightflash looked around the room because he wanted Clide to say something before he noticed both him and Whisper were gone "Ocelot when did they leave" Ocelot looked up and shrugged, Nightflash sighed and shook his head "losing track of your squad Nightflash" King, ever the comedian, if only he knew what a joke was, Nightflash sat there for a good 5 minutes before starting to wonder "Brass, Ocelot, go and look for those two would you" Ocelot pushed himself away from the wall "sure better than standing here" Brass lightly punched Ocelot's shoulder "come on Chuckles let's go find em" as they walk out the room Nightflash and King continue their conversation.
