Chapter One - The Awakening
Deep within the catacombs of 'Halo', Installation 04, rows upon rows of dormant cryogenic pods remain undisturbed for thousands of years these cryogenic pods have been kept secured from the effects of when Forerunners fired the Halo Rings effectively ending the flood outbreak.
Suddenly one of the cryogenic pods activates from its dormant sleep only just powered down, only keeping essential systems online. The pod opens up letting out a wisp of white frozen air drifting from the pod, suddenly a body aimlessly falls from the pod.
The mysterious figure is outfitted in Forerunner armor, combat skin fifteen. It takes a few seconds but the figure starts to move, after a few more moments the Forerunner's movements become more erratic to the point where the Forerunner kneels up holding their head with one hand.
The searing headache runs through the Forerunners head eventually it composes itself, it slowly looks at its surroundings taking in the ancient Forerunner walls and materials slowly memories from thousand of years ago creep back it the Forerunner's mind.
The Forerunner stands up continuing to look at its surroundings it then turns to its pod noticing the weapon sealed next to where the Forerunner once fell into a deep sleep. The Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement or in the Light-rifle. The Forerunner reached for the weapon pulled it out of its holster.
It checked the weapon to make sure it was fully functional, thankfully to the Forerunner it was. Instantly the Forerunner decided to make contact with the keeper of this Halo. But first it had to check on the other pods.
The Forerunner moved to the next pod then entered a code on the holographic keypad, the pod opens up, this time the Forerunner that occupied the pod fell out with force, the Forerunner catches its comrade whom was a woman. Checking the vitals it realized there was no sign of life in its comrade.
It does the same to next couple of pods each one repeating the last.
The Forerunner exited the room through a corridor to his left, it kept walking until it emerged into another room, the room resembled much like a hall, suddenly movement catches the Forerunner's eyes it immediately shifts shouldering the Light-rifle aiming at where it detected movement.
As one of the doors to the room slide open, Guilty Spark hovers through humming to itself he hovers a few meters into the hall before noticing the Forerunner.
"Ah! Lieutenant Commander Hazer" Guilty Spark moves closer to Hazer.
"Guilty Spark" the Forerunner called Hazer replies in deep mans voice holstering his rifle.
"Why did you wake me?" Hazer asks.
"I have detected multiple unidentified space vessels orbiting Installation 04, I believe they are of two different factions. I awoke you and your team as a response to any possible attack"
Hazer back at the corridor behind him then back at Guilty Spark, "As far as I know none survived the cryogenic process after all these years, however I did not check all the pods"
"Oh dear..." Guilty Spark replies in shock "...I will attend to the rest immediately, after I have given you a run down on the status of this Installation"
Hazer nodded in confirmation, Guilty Spark immediately spun around continuing to the observation room. With Hazer closely following.
