"What the hell is this place?"
"I dunno, but I sure as hell know we should leave ASAP"
"WORT WORT WORT"
"Hey man, did you hear that"
"Hear what?"
"You've got to be kidding me, you're telling me you didn't hear that!"
"ALPHA SQUAD, bring up communications with Silent Justice" the voice said
"Ok, now I heard that!"
"Really lets get out of here"
"Hey, I wonder if this is how we get out"
Suddenly, lights flickered on and off, the ground started to shake, and it was louder than anything imaginable. Then, it became silent, echoes and footsteps could be heard.
"Hello, I am Monitor Zero of the Forerunner Ark, how might I be of service to you today"
"What the hell, how the hell did you get in here?"
"Through that access way…at the top" the Monitor responded
"Mind giving us a boost up there?"
"(chuckles) It is too small for a Human Male"
Then, a door panel was beginning to flash lights, the Humans walked towards it in excitement and desperation. The teenager started to pound on the panel and asked the Monitor to help them try to open the door. But, the Monitor refused to do so.
"Hey Zero, mind actually trying to help us…….."
"I would, but 23 Sangheili Warriors are standing behind it, and not to breach security protocols, I am prohibited to not open that door"
"You listen to me you flying piece of shit, you better open this fucking door now, or so help me god, you will be sorry"
"Hey dude, don't piss it off"
"The Halogate is online, if you wish to enter it, you may do so, but you have 30 seconds to decide"
"What the hell is a Halogate?"
"A Halogate is a galactic portal designed to transport Forerunner personnel from one planet to another, this is the most powerful of the Halogates scattered throught the universe…..do you wish do use it?"
"Damnit, fine we will"
"Okay, what the hell do you mean we?
"You're coming too"
"No i'm not"
Kicking a box, the Human who refused to go starting moaning erratically. Pounding on crates, panels, etc. Then Donovan grabbed his shirt and yanked him through the Halogate. A minute later, the Sangheili Warriors ran into the Gateroom to find nothing but the Monitor.
"Look brothers, a holy oracle" a proud Commander said
"Hello Sangheili, how might I be of service to you and your comrades"
"Ahh yes holy one, we are searching for two humans, could you direct us to finding them?"
"I wish I could, but safety protocols prohibit me from telling you where they are"
"Did they go through this portal Holy Oracle?" a young Minor said
"Your intensions seem hostile towards the humans….."
As ordered by the Monitor, twenty Sentinels flew into the room with the orders of killing all Covenant invaders. This would be the last time a organic lifeform would see the Halogate for nearly 500 years……..
