As he slept she worked. Trying so hard to protect the one closest to her. Hoping against all hopes they would be found but they were adrift in what could be deemed an unexplored region of the galaxy.

Suddenly there was a disturbance. Is this gravity! She thought as the remainder of the Forward Unto Dawn was being pulled on a collision course with an unknown planet which her scans detected was inhabitable.

A thought then came to her. She would have to wake him.

She turned looked to the cryopod directly in front of her smiled and said "Chief wake up its time to move.

With that there was a hiss as the cryopod released the pent up gas within the compartment and began to thaw. Within seconds the pod had thawed out and the lid lifted to allow safe removal.

Then the form within stirred and quickly climbed out and asked "Cortana why did you wake me?"

Cortana smiled and said "Same as ever huh Chief, well we're in for a crash course with an inhabitable planet scans suggest probably lightly populated. The suggested course would be to grab any weapons and vehicles you can and get the hell out."

The only response she recieved was a nod as he pulled her chip from the monitoring system.

He then turned and pulled an MA5B off the roof of the cryopod before headed speedily to the armory.

Cortana Decided it was time to voice her concerns "Chief I think you have enough."

which was the problem he had been able to gather and lug enough weapons and ammunition to completely annihilate an entire covenant corvette which he stored in the back of a pelican they found.

She did not believe they needed to grab and bring a Skorpion tank with them but Chief hooked it up to the underside of the Pelican all the same before climbing into the cockpit and plugging cortana into the controls.

She sighed before starting all the checks and preparations turned the engines on and took flight out of the open hangar doors leaving the Dawn to its crash course in the east while they landed in a remote forest some 1550 Kilometers away.
