On the planet Cortaba III, which is inside of the Cortaba System, is a Human colony where they create weapons for the UNSC. But don't know how to use the weapons at all. A man known as Ian Wilbert is a resident of the planet that no one understands. They say that he's there one second, he's gone the next. Giving him the name 'Ghost'. He walked into a manufacturing plant where they were making weapons for the UNSC and then the owner of the place said, "Ghost, what are you up to today?"

Ian answered, "I'm just wondering if you needed any help with anything James."

The owner, James Shepard answered, "Nah, but I hear that Rollins Technologies is in need of a heavy lifter."

Ian said, "I see."

James asked, "Is something wrong?"

Ian answered, "No, not at all. I'm just getting bored, you know."

James said, "I know the feeling. Go check out Rollins Technologies like I mentioned before. They might need some help."

Ian said, "Thanks. Talk to you later James."

James said, "Likewise."

Ian walked away and then James said to himself, "Ian isn't himself. Ian wouldn't get bored so easily. Something big is about to go down. I just don't know what though."

Ian walked over to Rollins Technologies which was only a block away from Shepard's Weapons. An employee said, "Rollins, Ghost is here to kick your ass."

Jake Rollins heard that and then walked out and then asked, "How may I help you, Ghost?"

Ian answered, "I was wondering if you needed any help with anything."

Jake heard that and then answered, "This isn't like you at all."

Ian asked, "Are you sure?"

Jake answered, "Yes. You are usually the kind of guy that tries avoiding people. Not asking for help. That's why we call you Ghost."

Ian said, "I see. Do you have anything that needs to be done?"

Jake screeched and then answered, "Yes. I've been having trouble getting these crates on the wagons. I only have one person. But having you, we might get this done on time."

Ian said, "I see. I'll do my best to help out."

Jake said, "I'll make sure to pay you for your hard work."

Ian said, "No need. I don't need money."

Jake said, "You work, you get money. You can't say no to that."

Ian said, "OK."

Jake said, "Alright William, you finally got help."

William Shore said, "Thank you. Lifting them up by myself really is painful."

Ian appeared and then William looked at him and then said, "Didn't expect you to be the one helping people out."

Ian said, "I've been getting that a lot lately."

They lifted the box up and then William said, "You are also stronger than I thought as well."

Ian said, "Hell, thinking of a Ghost as being weak. You are sadly mistaken, my friend. I'm a homeless man that works out."

William laughed and said, "I see. Is that why you are helping people now?"

Ian answered, "Unknown. I just have a bad feeling about something. I just don't know what though."

Everyone heard that and then they got the crate on the wagon and then they walked back and then lifted up another crate and walked back to the wagon putting it up and then they heard something from the sky and looked up. William said, "Something bad is definitely going to happen."

Ian said, "Agreed."

Explosions started to occur and then Ian grinned and then William grabbed him and ran back into the building and yelled, "We're under attack."

Everyone heard that and then Jake said, "You showing up here means bad things always happens."

Ian said, "Not my fault dammit. I just feel things. Or is it sense things? Either way, shit happens."

Screams started occurring from the outside and then Jake said, "We need to evacuate everyone to the ships. We don't stand a chance against them."

William said, "Where are the soldiers that work on Cortaba III?"

Ian answered, "They are heading this way now."

The soldiers turned left and then appeared in their base and grabbed the radio and said, "Everyone, we need you to evacuate to the cargo ships now. The colony is under attack. We need everyone to evacuate now. G..."

An explosion occurred where the soldiers were and then Ian said, "Damn."

William said, "I'm outta here. Fuck this shit."

Jake yelled, "Fall back. You'll get paid when we get the hell out of here."

Ian said, "I see."

They all ran out of the building except for Ian. Ian looked forward and saw the enemy on foot and said, "I see. The enemy is on the ground now."

He walked to one of the crates and then opened it up and then Ian looked at the building where the soldiers went and then said, "If I can get myself to that base. I can get to the microphone and tell everyone to evacuate. Well, that's only if the place is still in tact."

Ian lifted up a BR85N Service Rifle and said, "Oh, I'm going to fight for the people of Cortaba III. Or I hope to at least."

They turned charged into the buildings that people worked and lived in and then Ian stepped out from behind the wagon and aimed at them from afar and said to himself, "I lost my damn mind. I'm not a soldier. But someone has to do it."
