MK nodded. He'd ask if they showed up then. The word prophecy made his eyebrow twitch. It brought back terrible memories. Not a full flashback but enough to hear her words in his mind.

Destiny will find you soon enough.

"They are super cool. I'll use it. And think about it outside. You know. Don't want anyone thinking I'm part of a prophecy or something."

"It does actually suck a lot to be part of a prophecy," Wash said. "Tucker ended up having to have a half Sangheili kid. Who he loves a lot, but also, he did not expect that outcome at all."

"Wait. He was destined to have an alien baby? ...I'm glad he loves his kiddo. What about his alien...partner? And why is destiny so fucking weird?!"

"Apparently. Its a little confused because the alien was captured for a Scenario 3 training simulation for Project Freelancer, and the translator told them about the fake prophecy, but apparently there had actually been a prophecy that alien was involved with about making a savior or a bridge between races or something like thaat," Wash said, tilting his head, as he tried to sort out the details of the frankly very confusing scenario.

"But Tucker had a sword, he actually had the baby despite all biological questions, and the Sangheili do treat Junior with a lot of respect and reverence," he said. "As for the original Sangheili, I dunno. He may have just left. The Reds and Blues may have accidentally killed him. Trying to get a proper explanation out of them about any of what happened before I met them is always pretty confusing."

Mk stared and listened. This was crazy. So destiny was real in Wash's world. And it said there was gonna be a baby and there was one. How? Why? The kid was being treated well. That's good. The parent being killed or just gone? Why?

"Why do people keep leaving children of destiny just...like that? Huh? Why? That...I don't...my brain hurts. This all just makes my brain hurt and I hate it. Destiny sucks and I hate it."

Destiny gets real weird in Red Vs Blue world. Some of it is just real strong propaganda. But other times its like...actually real????

"To be fair, I don't actually know how the traditional Sangheili family structure works. There is something about those who get swords don't get to get married, but they can still have kids for the genes, so there is definitely some differences going on there," he said with a shrug. "But yes, destiny sucks. Tucker is happy with Junior and Junior HAS done some good work for helping maintain peace talks. But any other time we get into some prophecy bullshit, its a headache." A pause. "Literally in my case."

Seriously, Destiny sucked. It was the worst thing ever. MK sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Okay. Are you going to tell me there was a prophecy about you getting a headache or was it about Epsilon or something else?"

"Oh no, if only it was THAT simple. No, there was an evil AI god thing who gave the guys the ability to time travel because Shisno could be like the great destroyers or something. I wasn't there for that part. Because I was suffering extreme brain damage at the time after getting shot in the neck. The evil god thing finally got the guys to break time and space because Carolina and Tucker decided that they were going to save me and caused a time paradox," he said.

Please understand his bullshit meter is HIGH for reasons like this.

"We had to fix time ourselves by reliving stuff and fixing what got broken. Brain damage included. But that was around the time the interdimensional kidnapping was happening so luckily Choco was able to get me somewhere to actually get healed. The beauty of magic."

MK listened and felt anxiety from just the story. Time broke? They had to fix it, relive it, then got taken to another world. What in the Great Sage was going on in Wash's world? Sure, his world was falling apart recently but at time TIME didn't break.

"Your world is insane. You do know that, right?"

"Honestly? I think its just the Reds and Blues. Sure, there was an integalatic war, but at least stuff largely made sense, until my life finally collided with Church's and then things just got weirder and weirder," he said. "They literally break so many rules of how things just...work."

"Then the Red and Blues are crazy," MK said with a nod. That was simple. Just blame them.

"Anyway. We can talk more about them when we're out of here. And with alcohol. I know a bar. And a bartender," Mk said with a nod.

"You wanna grab some weapons too?"

"I don't drink alcohol. Its not the best idea when you have wires burned into your brain and several voices in your head," he said. "But I can drink other stuff and tell stories."

"Oh, I have so many weapons on me right now," he said. He raided that supply closet.

"The place I go has root beer, water, and other stuff. Yeah. Makes sense," Right. No alcohol. He will drink though. At least a little. Just a little. Not too much.

"Oh good. Then you're all ready. Now we just need a plan."

"Root beer is always a good one," Wash agreed. Especially with ice cream-

He has a sweet tooth, okay.

He's also good at making sure other people don't drink themselves stupid.

"Its a little hard to plan just yet. The first room is always the hardest to tell how the rest of the heart will be," he said.

"If we put our heads together, I'm sure we'll come up with a good plan. At least, a plan to fill those void holes. Then we go down and get this mission done!" MK said with self-confidence. It might be a bit fake but they had numbers, two geniuses, Wash, him, Wukong, and Korone. What could possibly go wrong?!

"That is the plan, it looks like. That's probably the broken pathways," he said.
