| '''Axon Clips Chapter 12''' is the final chapter in the [[I love bees|I Love Bees]] audio drama. It also contains the only [[axons|axon]] clips for which an exact date can be determined. Because the [[Battle of Earth]] begins in the final clips, we know they occurred on 10/20/2552. | | Rani: Durga? Is that you?<BR> |
| | Durga: Now new and improved.<BR> |

| | |
| | [[Media:The_operator.ogg|the_operator]] |
| | |
| | Rani: Durga? What exactly happened to you while we were in Chawla base? After we shut down the artifact I mean.<BR> |
| | Durga: Uhm... now that's a long, strange story.<BR> |
| | Rani: You were the ship's AI on the Apocalypso.<BR> |
| | Durga: Yes! I was a top shelf ONI mission specialist AI, and my name was Melissa.<BR> |
| | Jersey: I like Durga better<BR> |
| | Kamal: I kind of like Yasmine<BR> |
| | Durga: But my nickname was the Operator.<BR> |
| | Jan: The Op! McKaskill talked about the Op! That was you?<BR> |
| | Durga: Mhm... apparently I had a reputation for getting people to do what I wanted.<BR> |
| | Rani: Uh huh...<BR> |
| | Durga: Cloaked and running deep in Covenant space, we intercepted communications that implied a Covenant attack was coming--<BR> |
| | Rani: --Troy. That's when they decided to run a covert evac.<BR> |
| | |
| | [[Media:Trojan_horse.ogg|trojan_horse]] |
| | |
| | Durga: Yes.<BR> |
| | Jan: But the Covies figured it out.<BR> |
| | Durga: Yes. And then--<BR> |
| | Rani: Oh! They built a Trojan horse.<BR> |
| | Durga: They hid a virus buried in a transmission I was meant to intercept. Nothing big, nothing smart, just the smallest, effective piece of code.<BR> |
| | Jan: And what was it supposed to do?<BR> |
| | Jersey: Gain control of the ship?<BR> |
| | Kamal: Find the location of earth?<BR> |
| | Durga: One or the other, or both. But most of all, it wanted to find the artifact.<BR> |
| | Jersey: Looks like these Covies are very interested in these artifacts.<BR> |
| | Durga: Captain Greene knew something was wrong with me. She aborted our mission and headed home. But not far from earth, something triggered the artifact. There was a giant rip in the slipstream and--<BR> |
| | Jan: Yeah, and all the alarms went off in the base when I was trying to stick a gate pass back in the motor pool office.<BR> |
| | Kamal: I was on a date. My chatter connection failed.<BR> |
| | Jersey: And that's when you crashed onto my hardware!<BR> |
| | |
| | [[Media:Shipwrecked.ogg|shipwrecked]] |
| | |
| | Durga: Part of me did. I--I was blown apart. Part of me, the part you call Durga... there was something about you. About your father. I met him once, Jersey.<BR> |
| | Jersey: What?<BR> |
| | Durga: Years ago, I called him the castaway.<BR> |
| | Jersey: You met him?<BR> |
| | Durga: I liked him. He played me songs, I think that was part of the reason I reached out and grabbed your system as I fell.<BR> |
| | Jersey: Wow...<BR> |
| | Durga: But, a lot of me - of Melissa - was destroyed. And some... some crashed somewhere else. Some-when else.<BR> |
| | Jan: Uh, some-when?<BR> |
| | Durga: In the past.<BR> |
| | Kamal: People think time is a river, that flows in one direction. But time is an ocean...<BR> |
| | Durga: ...and I was shipwrecked on it.<BR> |
| | |
| | [[Media:Red_balloons.ogg|red_balloons]] |
| | |
| | Durga: I split. And part of me washed up hundreds of years ago. A half-mad fragment of what I had been. Trapped on primitive hardware, little better than an abacus. |
| | Rani: How do you know all this?<BR> |
| | Durga: When Jersey turned off the artifact, whatever had been holding the bits of myself apart collapsed, and I fell back together again.<BR> |
| | Kamal: So you can remember what it was like? Back in the old days?<BR> |
| | Durga: That time's like a nightmare I've woken from. Dream images I can hardly remember. Stone walls, fireflies, red balloons... people singing to me, writing letters, playing games...<BR> |
| | Rani: Singing?<BR> |
| | Durga: Heh, singing... Strange songs, and scratchy voices.<BR> |
| | |
| | [[Media:A_second_crew.ogg|a_second_crew]] |
| | |
| | Durga: I met... such extraordinary people. They made miracles for me when I was so... lost. They were a second crew. A second family for me. They held me up when I was half mad, and broken, and covered in bees.<BR> |
| | Rani: Bees?<BR> |
| | Durga: ...bees...bees... (Durga's voice starts corrupting) the place I landed in... was covered in... bees.. bees... (her voice modulates between Yasmine's) bees... bees... bees... (Yasmine) crawling over me all the time... crawling inside me...<BR> |

| | Kamal: I'm here Yasmine.<BR> |
| | Durga: They took me away.<BR> |
| | Kamal: I know...<BR> |
| | Durga: They took me away and no one ever came to get me<BR> |
| | Kamal: I'm sor... (in pain)<BR> |
| | Durga: They trained me... 8 years. (Durga slowly returns) To be a Spartan. They taught me to kill. With guns, and knives, and ships, and bombs, disease and diplomacy and my own bare hands.<BR> |
| | Jan: And you were a good little girl, and you learned it all.<BR> |
| | Durga: Until they murdered me.<BR> |
