#infinity week

One thing that was mentioned at the event was that they asked Utsumi where the name Langa came from and she said she was looking for things that had to do with snow and she found the Italian word "valanga" which means avalanche and she thought that was too ominous to use but she still liked the sound of Langa and so she ended up using it.

So his name came from the Italian word valanga.

#infinity week

A week of fan art, fan fic, gifs and other fan works to celebrate the UNSC Infinity and her crew

Captain Thomas James Lasky straightened his collar and cleared his throat, running a hand over his hair.

Turning to the holo-pad on the edge of his desk, he asked: “How do I look Roland?”

The little A.I. smiled, crossing his yellow holographic arms. “Like a factory issue MA5D, Sir. Sharp.”

Lasky chuckled slightly. “Thanks Roland. You always know how to make me feel better.”

“What ever would I do without my dashing captain, Sir?” Roland teased, uncrossing his arms and resting his fists on his hips.

“You’re hilarious.” Tom smiled, pocketing his wallet and stuffing his dog-tags down his collar.

“Go knock Commander Palmer dead, Captain.”

“Roland, she’s a Spartan. She could snap me in half if she sneezed too hard.”

“Affirmative, Sir.”

—————————

Sarah Palmer rolled her shoulders slightly and looked in the mirror, raising her eyebrows in hesitant approval. Much as she despised dresses with a passion, she wanted to do this for Tom. He had always talked about how much he’d love to see her in a dress, so she decided to indulge him.

Not that she particularly cared how she looked. Tom’s opinion notwithstanding. She certainly remembered the days of endless flirting when she was an ODST and he a Naval Aviator, but about a week ago the now-Captain had apparently worked up the courage to ask her out. Having been friends for years, Sarah had accepted. And they wouldn’t get court-martialed for breaking Frat Regs either; Different chain of command an all that. Admittedly it was a technicality on a warship, but hey, they had a defense. As if the brass actually gave a shit about Frat Regs anyway.

Random thoughts aside, Sarah stepped out of her quarters and....

“You’ll cause a mutiny if you hurt him.”

..... Roland.

“I know, Roland.”

“Just checking, Commander.” He paused, then spoke with a teasing tone. “You know, most women wear heels with a dress, not boots.”

“I put a dress on. Do not push it.”

“Yes, Sir.”

—————————

“Well? How do I look?”

Tom couldn’t seem to get his mouth to work. Sure, he’d always thought Sarah would look good in a dress but shit.

“Earth to Toooom.”

Lasky blinked. “Like a volley of missiles. In other words, deadly. Beautiful. Need I go on?”

The Spartan raised an amused eyebrow. “Nice save, swabbie. You even managed to eight-six the stutter.”

The Captain flushed, even as he smirked. “Very funny. Go on then, how about me?”

Sarah chuckled softly. “Would you prefer the romamticized novel description, or the Marine description?”

“How about the Sarah description?”

And the teasing aura sizzled into tension.

—————————

Yes, I do consider at least mentioning the prompts to be using them. They did inspire certain scenes after all.

Late Day 5 of @infinity-week !

Infinity Week Day 3

Prompt: Red

Characters: Sarah Palmer, Olympia Vale, Original Sangheili Character (and one other)

"Oh, but it was only a matter of time, wasn’t it. They’d been at war with the Sangheili for almost thirty years, billions dead, countless homes destroyed, and now they were expected to turn around and play nice? She’d pointed all this out when the idea was first proposed, because it was her job to be the bad guy in those situations; her concerns had been ‘noted’ and then she was told she had to deal with it.

Really, it was a miracle it had taken as long as a month for any sort of incident, and a relatively minor scuffle at that. Of course, there was still time for it all to blow up in their faces."

Sarah Palmer and interspecies diplomacy.
