Staring down at the town Mets felt a hole form in his stomach, 200 years have passed since he left and now he looks onto the town that he was raised in full of ash after the covenant glassed the whole planet killing all on it but him. Looking up to the UNSC Spitfire he pulled out his radio and radioed the Spitfire.

"UNSC Spitfire this is civilian contractor Mets I'm requesting an emergency evac on this location."

A gruff male voice came over the com "Civilian contractor Mets this is UNSC Spitfire we have a pelican coming down to pick you up within the hour please hold that position until we arrive."

"Roger that Spitfire no plans for tonight I'll wait here for my date."

Laying down on the cool dirt he lazied there watching the stars as the pelican descended over him. Finally touching down the pelican spewed out a medical team and a small squad of ODST and three Spartans each towering over the ODST guns raised in a semi circle formed around Mets the lead spartan with a red hand print over her chest plate stepped forward.

"How did you survive?"

"Ah right to it now aren't we? Just like you to do that Eli, spartan III ID number 745 Omega squad leader still has nightmares from when she was ten when Chief Petty Officer Mendez locked you in the freezer for complaining to often about the cold on your Arctic training." a Cheshire cat grin spread across his face.

Taking a step back Elizabeth looked stunned and unless you were a spartan or had x-ray vision then you wouldn't be able to tell. "How do you know these things?"

"Well when I get bored I read and your file is an open book to me." giving her a wink he twirls like a ballerina. "I also saw all the pictures of you before and after my were you gorgeous its almost a shame that they make you wear that armor it even covers up that adorable mole on your cute little butt also it's interesting about how you never told your squad about how you became commander. You see kids she had to go and-"

Letting herself forget about her spartan training and not wanting her secret out she opened her com channel "Report that the survivor is a lost cause and has to be put down for being compromised by the covenant." Stepping forward she pulled out her sidearm and shot him clean through the head. She knew she was going to have to answer for this but they wouldn't kill her for it. "Load up the missions done, we're heading home." Getting back onto the pelican Eli grabbed the body and brought him on board laying him down in the middle of the pelican where everyone was looking at it as she took up her position in the cockpit with the pilot giving the all clear to ascend.

Suddenly going up always made Mets stomach turn.
