S6-1
A Guardian's discovery
Samuel's logbook
Me and Habero are just going around the Cosmodrome, looking for anything of use. I don't think we'll find anything, just like the last few hundred times...
Music: Destiny - The Traveler
It was another day for Guardian Samuel Henter: explore the Cosmodrome, kill off any Fallen and the occasional Hive, report back to Ikora Rey.
However, this mission took an interesting turn when Samuel spotted a large machine near the edge of the Cosmodrome. It looked like a giant robot of some sort.
There were a few Fallen from the House of Dusk, looking at the marvel of machinery.
As the lone Guardian approached, the Dregs paid him little to no mind. He was just as intrigued as they were.
"{Let me take a look at it.}"
"Alright." Samuel extended his hand, summoning his Ghost to see what the ancient robot was. "You take a look your way while I inspect the thing's exterior."
As Samuel's Ghost scanned the mech, the Guardian brushed away some dust from around the big optical device on the front, some letters were underneath the stuff. "I...M...C. What does that mean?"
"{Not sure, but it might have been from before the Golden Age, judging by the dust. Hang on... I found someone's name in this thing's systems, someone by the name of... 'Kuben Blisk'?}"
"Who's that?"
"{Not sure, but this system has him labeled as a 'Linked Pilot'. He's registered as a Commander, but this thing also says he's... 'K-I-A'? Whatever that means. Huh? I just found a large hollow space inside of this thing. Looks as if the emptiness was intentionally put in there for whatever reason. Hang on... I found something. Trying it now.}" Samuel's Ghost sent a command into the machine, making a hatch in the front open.
By that point, Samuel pulled out the notebook he uses to write down information about anything new he finds. As he wrote, the Dregs looked over his shoulders, seeing what he was doing and understanding his actions. "Hollow interior... Appearance of a robot... Optic on the front... Looks like a mechanical suit or something."
He jotted down some more notes before the robot started moving. "{I think I caused it to activate!}"

The robot's optical unit began to glow blue before moving around. "[Rea-a-a-a-actor Core-re-re-re onli-i-i-ine. Criti-i-i-i-ical-l-l syst-st-st-st-stems reboo-oo-oo-oo-ooting.

"[Thre-e-e-e-eats local-l-l-l-lized. Enga-a-a-a-aging hostile infan-n-n-n-ntry.]"
Music: Metroid Other M - Sudden Enemy Attack!
The Dregs started to run before it opened fire on them, sending a blast of four rockets before nearly dropping the weapon.
Music: Code Lyoko - Sneaking
It looked at Samuel, making him sweat in anticipation of what it would do to him.
To his surprise and relief, the robot lowered the rocket launcher and began getting up on its feet. Hundreds of sparks flew from the mech as it finally got up. It took a single step before dropping to its knees and letting its metal knuckles hit the ground.
"Uh... Habero, any ideas?"
"{No idea, but it might have been some sort of early protector. Not sure what it's doing out here though. It looks like it's been through the Cabal's home planet and back twice, this thing has been damaged beyond belief. It's a wonder it's still intact.}"
The machine's optic looked at Samuel, and it spoke to him, but the voice was all cleared up. "[Identify yourself, civilian!]"
"My name is Samuel Henter, and I'm a Guardian. This is my Ghost, Habero." He saw a sort of code on the machine's arm and leg. "What's 'FB-8276'?"
"[That is my chassis number. My systems are severely damaged. What is today's date?]"
"Habero?"
"{It's the 11th of April in the year 3921.}"
"[So... My Pilot has been dead for 1,107 years...]"
