No POV
Deep in the in the forests of mount Kilimanjaro, a ruined UNSC base known as the Crows Nest lays abandoned and ruined.
A perfect place for a hideout. One group of grey-skinned creatures huddle up in the former command center. They are large and brutish in appearance. Most are dressed in battered mail armor, but a few wear black and red robes. They're armed with axes, broadsword and wooden staffs.
Orcs of the Blackrock clan.
"Is this human contact of yours coming Malkorok?" One orc says irritably, returning from his patrol in the nearby corridors.
"Of course she's coming!" The orc leader Malkorok snaps back. "She did give us this fortress."
The warrior growls. "Your a fool to trust her."
Malkorok grins viciously. "I don't trust her. But our goals still coincide, so we will do as she says." He reaches his axes. "Unless of course you have a problem with that."
The two orcs have a brief standoff before the other warrior snarls and returns to his patrol. The other orcs go about their regular business be it sharpening their weapons or raiding the base for anything left behind by the UNSC.
After a few minutes even Malkorok begins questioning if the human is coming. Finally an orc hunter runs in the Opps center. "The Grey queen is here!" He announces.
The orcs stand in attention as a figure walks in. She dressed in a long dark cloak and hood that covers most of her face.
"Greeting warriors." She says.
The orcs grunt in response before returning to their tasks. "I take it your enjoying your new base?" She asks.
Malkorok nods. "The technology is indeed better than our previous fortress and we no longer worrying about intruders. Now lets talk about other matters."
The grey queen smiles, taking a seat in front of a nearby table.
Malkorok both begin discussing various matters such as the prospect of sending supplies to them, and by extension the Blackrock stronghold of Blackrock mountain.
Shen they finish the Grey queen stands up and prepares to leave. One her way out however one of the orcs blocks her path with his spear.
"Before you go girl, tell me one thing. Your not from out world and we're not from yours. So how did you make contact with us."
A few other orcs mutter amongst themselves and raise their weapons. The grey queen raises her hands. "Very well, if you must know, I have been secretly sending expeditions to discover new worlds for colonies, instead we found your world."
"My men made contact with one of your war bands. A war band led by Malkorok. He explained to me your situation and the dynamics of your faction. So instead we made a deal, I would supply your people with troops and supplies and in exchange you would help me with my plans."
Malkorok grunts. "You still haven't explained what are your plans."
"Humans are like sheep, they follow their leader blindly even when he leads them to their deaths. I cannot change human nature, but I can change who they follow. I'll make sure a proper leader is put into power." She explains.
"How does that involve us?" Malkorok questions.
"There are those who would wish to seize power for themselves, and those who would mutter quietly against their leader." She didn't finish her sentence.
For several moments the room is silent save for the dripping of leaky pipes. Finally Malkorok lets out a loud laugh.
"Perhaps we do have something in common girl. Very well, I'll inform my warchief." Malkorok grins.
Percy's POV
I wait patiently in the forest for my girlfriend Annabeth. I check my watch for the time. 8:30 Annabeth's late. It's not like her to be late on anything.
With a sigh I sit on a rock formation, known as Zeus's fist. Around me the forest is really quiet, save for the growling of monsters in the distance. Occasionally one would approach me, I simply draw my sword and they usually get me message. "Get lost!"
Placing the bouquet of flowers I bought for her beside me. After a few minutes I stand up and prepare to leave.
"Percy?" A voice says beside me, suddenly I brighten up recognizing that voice.
I turn around and grin. "Annabeth."
Her eyes widen as I give her flowers. "They're beautiful." She coos.
I gesture for her to sit with me. I pull out a picnic basket with some sandwiches and diet coke.
The two of us sit an eat for a while, while nothing fancy it's still the most romantic night I had in over a month.
"Annabeth?" I ask, noticing the troubled look on her face.
"Hmmm?" She says finishing her sandwich.
"Is there something wrong?" I ask.
"It's nothing you should be worried about, just trouble in the office." She says, putting on a fake smile.
I sigh, why does she always seem to think of her Job even on our dates. Then again she is part of the office of naval intelligence and that not an easy job.
"Whats wrong." I say finally.
She pulls out a small holo-projector. Another part of my mind groans, does she always need to bring work when she's with me?
The device projects a colony nearby. "I've heard rumors that this colony has recently joined the New Colonial Alliance. I brought this up with Admiral Osman, but she doesn't think it's much of a threat. However there is a major weapons factory there that could easily provide arms for the rebels."
"Let me guess, you need me to take it out?" I say.
"You don't need to do this Percy." She says. I force a smile. "It's like you say, duty always comes first in war time." I reply with a hint of resentment in my voice.
Annabeth hugs me tightly. "I got you something." She whispers.
I look a her as she produces a metal necklace with a small amulet. I beam at her. "Thank you."
We share one quick kiss the head back to our cabins. I make my way into my bed, taking of my jacket and dropping it on the floor.
"Your home early." My sister says, not looking up from the comic book she's reading.
"Annabeth was busy." I reply.
Persephone looks up at me. "She's always busy."
I lay down on my bed. "I think you're exaggerating a bit."
She places her comic book on the table and looks at me. "Really? How many dates have you had with her this month?"
"One." I admit. "But come on. A job in ONI involves a lot of work."
"So is being a field officer, but you always seem to be able to make time for us." Persephone argues. "Maybe it's because she doesn't put any effort in you relationship. Maybe she's putting it somewhere else, or someone else."
I stare at her, feeling as if someone kicked me in the gut. Annbeth and Persephone never really got along, but she never really hated her.
Her expression softens, realizing she's gone too far. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything like that."
"I know." I say softly. She hugs me. "I'm your older sister Percy, I just wanna make sure that you don't get hurt."
I teasingly poke her. "Your five minutes older." I remind her.
She gives me a ditzy grin. "A lot can happen in five minutes."
"And besides, she did give me two things." I say.
"Whats that?" Persephone inquires.
I show her the necklace. "Ok, maybe she's not all bad." My sister admits grudgingly. "What was the other thing?"
Now it's my turn to grin. "A mission."
