Everywhere.
Everywhere was numb. Six tried to open his eyes but they felt too heavy to open as if a pair of one ton weights were holding them down he tried to move but all he could manage was a slight shake of his head."Beta look, he's awake" a childlike voice started startling six remembered being stabbed in the abdomen with an energy sword, his last stand"Good job Theta" a female voice with a distinct American twang to it replied "Gamma tell alpha the Spartan is awake and theta, stop the anaesthetic, slowly remember what happened to Straka.""o-kay" the newly identified Gamma so slowly six opened his eyelids, as far as he could tell he was in a operating theatre, on a long cold table and wearing his standard grey military uniform, around him were various medical tools and large screens containing bucket loads of information about the patient. even more unsettling was the small figure in black armour kneeling on his chest, inspecting his face with a blank yellow visor."ah, Spartan you've finally woken up" she started with the American accent he had heard before "my name is Beta also known as Texas and that over there is Theta" pointing to a hologram of a purple Spartan in the corner of the room."Were are we, how did I get here and who are you" Calder asked."well as for your first question we are in a ancient forerunner structure, made over 10,000 years ago, and then" she sighed before returning to her story "after your last stand a passing group of ODSTs found you unconscious and severely wounded, its taken you several months to heal and whilst you were out we made some 'modifications'"
"what kind of modifications" Noble Six asked her as he swung his legs of the table and began swinging them to get the feeling back.
"well, we coated your bones in a superior forerunner alloy" came the voice of Theta, bringing up a large holoscreen showing a human body "you have now been given neural implants, improved augmentations and a,"
"one of your eyes was damaged" Texas chimed in so that before Theta could finish his sentence "it's still there but we have had to replace most of it with a high power camera, as for your third question, then I suppose we should let Alpha tell you"
Suddenly a door whooshed open to reveal another hologram of a Spartan in dark blue armour and a spherical object which had a blue eye floating beside him.
"reclaimer your finally awake" started the spherical object "my name is militant bias of construction facility 07, it is good to see that you are alive"
"wait, what do mean reclaimer"
"after the forerunners activated the halo ring's they told all of their constructs that humans would take on the responsibility of protectors of the galaxy" bias explained "it is therefore my objective to assist you with anything you need"
"and my name is Alpha, or Church, I am your new AI" The hologram beside him stepped in before the monitor could get carried away "and before you ask, yes I have reached metastability and yes Beta, Theta, Gamma and the others are fragments of my logic core"
Six stood up and rubbed his eyes "are there any UNSC forces here Alpha"
"actually there is about a company of marines and one platoon of ODST's lieutenant" came a familiar voice, Six looked over to the source and saw the face of Sgt Walker, one of the troopers involved with the raid on SWORD.
"Walker?"
"aye lieutenant, me and my boys managed to escape after we saw that your job was done" he Walker replied in a light Scottish accent.
"now we are done with the formalities we should probably show noble six his new weapons and armour" came a green hologram.
"All right Delta lets go" said Church in a submissive tone.
"with all due respect Alpha we should probably get back to fighting the covenant"
"for gods sake Delta, for the love of god just shut up"
The 4 of them came to stop in front of the forerunner armoury doors, a heavyset titanium alloy construct that was built to withstand nuclear explosions, inside was a mass of conveyor belts and machines that were all constructing weaponry, human, covenant and forerunner. At the back of the room six saw a stand with what looked like ODST armour on it.
"Is that my armour" Calder inquired.
"yes Spartan, it is" replied militant bias.
"This is the spectre class MJOLNIR gen 2" Alpha explained as the group sidled towards it (or in militants case 'hovered') "when the Spartan IIs first came into the war the UNSC wanted to make a more manoeuvrable and stealthy version of the standard set, that's where the gen 1 came into action. The prototype was assigned to Spartan A-028 for field testing but one of the features of the armour was to contain all armour upgrades, unfortunately this proved too much to handle and A-028's brain collapsed from the strain of operating it and the project was dropped, now with blueprints obtained by yours truly and more advanced forerunner technology we have been able to create a new model which should function properly when paired with an AI"
"you don't sound very sure" six responded to the monologue.
"yes but where's the fun in testing it first, besides this has many advantages to it: light shield, bubble shield, active camo, hologram generator, armour lockup, healing unit, speed booster, x-ray vision and a little piece of magic I like to call QES, otherwise known as quantum entanglement storage which essentially allows you to access this entire armoury from the palm of your hand. As for weapons if you clench your fists in a sparring way the nit will activate two plasma blades from the wrists and it can also be teleported directly onto you from your neural interface"
There was a bright white light and suddenly six was in his new armour, it felt a lot lighter than his previous set which weighed a literal ton, he brought his arm up to his visor and clenched his fist to get a feel for it when and orange blade appeared from underneath his wrist that made a strange noise whenever he moved it about.
"do you want to see your ship captain Calder" asked militant bias in what sounded like a sarcastic tone.
"ship?"
"why yes, your going to have some vessel to transport the marines off reach wont you"
The monitor led them through another doorway to a large hangar bay with a large UNSC frigate but it was a little smaller and a lot sleeker, on the side printed in white letters was the words UNSC NOBLE DAWN which Six approved off and was jet black with aqua markings.
"this vessel contains its own self-making armoury, hugaroks and vehicles of all three of our factions, it has much better shields, slipspace drive and can contain about 700 crew members" bias explained.
Noble Six glanced around at the marines in the hangar, they were all either talking among their groups or maintaining a vehicle, he then noticed 4 ODST's walking up to him.
" hello sir" the one in the lead said "my name is Marcus Haust"
"who the hell are these guys" six demanded to Sgt Walker.
"I figured you needed a new Fireteam so I chose the best in my platoon"
"okay but don't let them get in my way" Six then proceeded to activate his loudspeaker "MARINES, MARINES, I WANT EVERYONE ONBOARD IN FIVE MINUTES, NO MAN LEFT BEHIND"
"noble six I should warn you that there are some strange magnetic fields around the planet, you'll have to slipspace from within atmosphere" militant told him
"WHAT, that's crazy a passing marine yelled at the monitor "there's no way that will work"
"well we will se Pv"
Six entered the bridge of the UNSC NOBLE DAWN to see a blend of standard human technology and the distinct hum of holoscreens, all around him were marines who were acting as the impromptu crew, he sat down in the captains chair and removed his helmet.
"this is monitor of CF 07 opening hangar bay doors"
The ship slowly began to rise out of the hangar bay and hovered above the underground facility.
"this is captain Calder, everyone prepare for atmospheric slipspace jump, Alpha ETA"
"About 6 hours if were lucky sir" the AI replied.
"Jump in 5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"JUMP" ...
for this story I have used some of the AIs in red v blue (a halo fanfilm that you should seriously check out)
