The new guy

Austin got out of the pelican that he rode down in from Anchor 9 space station in orbit he was en-route to meet his new squad he was a bit uneasy he was so used to being a lone wolf but now he had to work with others. 'Man i bet i won't get on well with the Commander' he thought to himself. Austin always had an issue with authority even from a young age he hated being told what to do. A warthog pulled up and the driver signaled for him to hop in.

"So were you headed" asked the marine in the driver seat.

"Some small camp near Fuma city do you know it" Austin questioned

"I know the place sir don't worry you'll be there in under an hour" replied the marine before turning on the warthogs engine and began to start driving. Austin took off his helmet and put in his earphones to listen to music.

After about 10 minutes the driver spoke up to break the ice "So sir what are you listening to" he asked. Austin took out one earphone "Just some metal" replied Austin "Oh nice what band" asked the driver with a hint of excitement in his voice Austin noticed this and guessed that he was a fan of metal like him "I'm just listening to some Linkin Park" replied Austin hoping the marine knew who the band were "Holy shit they're my favorite band" said the marine now the excitement really came out in his voice. Then Austin noticed something about the drivers accent it sounded like an Irish accent. "Hey kid are you from Ireland on Earth" Austin asked "Born and raised sir" replied the marine. "What part" asked Austin "Fingall its in Dublin" replied the marine "I was born in Ireland and lived in Louth with my grandparents and brother" Said Austin. "What's your name marine" asked Austin the warthog slowed down as they were driving over a rough area that shook the vehicle slightly "Daniel O'Hara sir" responded the marine "Nice to meet you Daniel my name is Austin". " Nice to meet you too sir I think this is your stop up ahead "Thank you for the lift Daniel i hope we run into one another again it's been a pleasure talking to you". "No problem sir good luck out there lieutenant".

Austin steps out of the warthog and puts his earphones back in and put on some music by the band Rise Against. After he did that he put his helmet on and waved at Daniel before he drove back to the firebase.

Noble Six's POV.

I put my earphones on full blast then I started to walk around looking for the right hut to go into as I walk past the falcon landing zone I look to my right and I see a spartan in green armor sitting in a falcon loading his sniper rifle my heads up display identified him as Jun-A266.

He gave a small wave as to say hello and I waved back he then pointed towards the hut that I was to report to and I nodded my head to say thanks.

As I walked up to the door all I saw was blackness and then I thought I could make out something that looked like a ghost face I eventually get close enough to the door to see a spartan in EVA armor sharpening a Kukri knife on his shoulder pad then i saw two other spartans one of them was huge my heads up display identified him as Jorge-052 I immediately knew that he was a spartan 2 due to the absence of a letter to tell what company he belongs to.

I was about to walk up to the commander but then I was stopped by a mechanical arm.

Third person POV

'Damn she's kinda hot...maybe this deployment won't be as bad as i thought' Austin thought to himself as he looked at the woman standing in front of him. "Commander" she said and then the spartan in dark blue armor turned around to look at Austin. Austin turned off his music and walked into the room. "So that's our new number six" Jorge said as he looked at me "Kat you read his file" asked Emile "Only the parts that weren't covered in black ink" she said. Carter begins to walk over to Austin and he shakes his hand "Lieutenant" said Carter "Commander sir" Austin replied back. "Good to have you with us" said Carter "Thank you sir it's good to be here" replied Austin.

"Lieutenant can you remove your helmet" asked carter "Why sir" replied Austin "the first time a new guy comes into the squad I prefer talking to them face to face".

"Not a problem sir" said Austin as he removed his ODST helmet and pulled out his earphones. "Listen Lieutenant we're not on alert at the moment so you can be shown to your quarters" said carter as he briefly looked down at his wrist pad as he was receiving an incoming message from someone. "Jun can you show him to his quarters i have to write a report for Colonel Holland" asked Carter as he moved back to the desk and opened up his laptop.

"Come on Six I'll get you there" said Jun who just came in after finishing loading his weapons. The two left the hut in silence and walked off into the compound.

And then the sound of Emile sharpening his Kukri stopped and then i looked over to him and then heard something it sounded like heavy metal slowly approaching and then he stepped in the door frame the new guy was here and everyone looked over except Carter who was too busy reading over mission files to notice the blatantly obvious sound of heavy metal that was being played I quickly put my arm out in front of him and called Carter over they started talking and then carter asked him to take his helmet off. He had short blood red hair that was slowly growing and emerald green eyes and a scar on his left cheek I felt a weird feeling in my stomach but i just brushed it aside. I took another look at him and i thought he looked pretty cute however I noticed when he spoke he had an accent i couldn't describe after he left with Jun to get settled in. "Did you guys notice the accent he spoke in" i said "Yeah I've never heard it before i don't know it" replied Emile we began speculating where he might be from but then Jorge cut us both off "Irish" he said i didn't quite hear him properly "What was that Jorge" I asked he looked over to me "I said Irish his accent you wanted to know what it is its an Irish accent" he replied "Six grew up in Ireland before he was asked to become a spartan by O.N.I." Carter butted in. I had never heard an Irish accent before since I gew up on New Harmony where everyone either had an American or a Russian accent it sounded nice and soothing I could tell i was going to get along with the new guy.

Third person POV

"Hey Kat don't get too close to the new guy just yet" Emile said while continuing to sharpen his knife "What do you mean" Kat said with a hint of curiosity in her voice "I saw the way you looked at him when he took off his helmet don't tell me you like the dude after only 4 minutes of knowing him" said Emile jokingly "Shut up Emile" Kat said before walking out to go to her quarters. Jorge and Carter looked at Emile angrily "What was it something i said"
