Truth
*Event log 3*
Master Chief's mind exploded into action, he suddenly remembered that he was in a cryogenic tube thawing. Chief's half frozen lungs burned as he breathed, he looked around, and everything seemed like a blur. Chief blinked trying to get frost from his eyes; his eyes stun and burned from ice formed around his eyes. "Cortana are you there?" Chief asked. "Good to see your awake Chief. Did you sleep well? Cortana asked. "It was… sleep?" Chief questioned. "I guess you want to get to work then eh? Well you'll have to open your cryogenic tube yourself, just pull the manual release for your cryogenic tube hatch. I can't open it myself if I could I would have an hour ago." Cortana explained.
After a moment or so Chief found the manual release and started to lift his arm to pull it down. His arm screamed in pain as he lifted his arm and grabbed the release switch and pulled down. The pain was so bad it was like plasma hitting bare skin; the cryogenic tube clicked and unlocked. After a long hissing sound the hatch started to open with a painful wine. Chief not wanting to wait what felt like an hour pushed it up with so much force that the hatch almost flew off.
"Are you that desperate for coffee Chief?" Cortana asked well smiling cheekily. "Hmmm." Chief grumbled. "Why did you wake me?" Chief asked. "Right to the point eh? No hello or good to see you, and or a how have you been?" Cortana said aloud in an annoyed tone. Chief climbed out of his once sleeping place ignoring Cortana's annoyed tone filled comment, and waited for Cortana to explain what was going on that needed him badly enough that Cortana woke him from his lengthy slumber.
"Chief you've been sleeping for one year, five months, and two days. The Dawn has been drifting towards Earth, the year is 2017, and we are going to enter Earth's atmosphere in one hour, thirty six minutes. Does that sum up everything you need to know?" Cortana half asked half explained. "That the hell do you mean the year is 2017 Cortana!" Chief almost yelled in shock. "I don't know how Chief, but I have a hunch." Cortana said. "What does "a hunch" mean?" Chief asked annoyed. "Just call it a woman's intuition ok Chief." Cortana said.
"Fine but you'll have to explain in detail later Cortana." Chief said grumpily. "I will, ok Chief… I'm ready yank me." Cortana said taking one last look around before Chief could unplug her from the holographic terminal that he plugged her into a year ago. Chief plugged Cortana into the slot in the back of his head. Suddenly the feeling of mercury flowed into Chiefs brain. "Good to be back and its much bigger in here than the dawn." Cortana said in a better mood than earlier. "Don't get any funny ideas." Chief said flatly recalling when Cortana was in his mind back on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, Halcyon-class light cruiser. "Ok Chief I know." Cortana said well chuckling. "You ready to get back to work Cortana?" Chief asked. "I thought you'd never ask." Cortana said excited. "I'm going to get supplies and vehicles in what's left of the hanger tied down and secure." Chief explained to Cortana his plan.
After an hour of tedious work Chief was finishing up in the armory. "Chief… We have twenty eight minutes until we enter atmosphere." Cortana said in a very worried tone. "Don't worry." Chief said calmly as he grabbed extra ammo for his MA5B Assault Rifle and magnum, as well as an Energy sword, four of each grenade and as a plus Chief found a jet pack.
"Chief we need to get to a drop pod now!" Cortana practically screamed. "Why?!" Chief asked worried. "The Dawn… its entering atmosphere!" Cortana said in a tone that made even the Chief worried. As if by Cortana's worrisome warning the Forward unto Dawn started to shake and rumble as it started to enter the atmosphere. Chief stepped into a full on sprint out of the armory, down the halls, to the drop pod bay. Just as Chief reached the drop pod bay the hall behind him was torn off by another piece of the Dawn that had broken off earlier. Chief thinking fast used his jet pack to get to the closest drop pod, climbed in and closed the pods door. It clicked shut and air sealed. "Punch it!" Chief yelled to Cortana. Cortana lunched the Drop pod in nanoseconds. The pod shuck as it entered atmosphere with what was left of the Dawn behind the two of them.
"Brace for impact Chief" Cortana yelled just as a piece of the Dawn hit Chiefs drop pod breaking it open on one side. Chief was sucked out of the pod as it was exposed to the vacuum of space. The last thing Chief herd was Cortana Screaming "JONH"!
