I look around the pitch black room taking in my surroundings and preparing for the upcoming, inevitable questions I'm about to be asked. I can tell it's going to be a very long night tonight even if my debrief is short of which I highly doubt will happen. How had everything gone so wrong in such a short time? After twenty minutes of silent waiting I finally hear the call

"Spartan 119 report to the directors office for debrief"

I start making my way there passing way to many people for my taste in the corridors. I walk into the directors office and resist the urge to play with the hilt (handle) of my knife on the left thigh plate of my armor. He motions for me to sit down. I take a seat and am immediately bombarded with questions.

"start from the beginning? Why weren't you with your unit?, out of every one that could have survived why you?, " the director says.

I take a deep breath and begin recounting my story to him.

"At 0700 my team was tasked with a simple recon mission. My commander told me to sneak ahead for trouble. While I was gone the covenant blew up the skorpion my team was in and left before I got back. Then I trekked four kilometers back to bravo camp, and it sounds like you'd rather me have perished with the rest of winter squad." Of course the director would have he's been trying to get rid of me for weeks!

He looks at me skeptically "I see and after that you were asked to turn over all weapons what are you doing with a knife still on your person"

I smirk "No one and I mean no one touches Lola" I reply coolly

The director scribbles something on his notepad then clears his throat and dismisses me back to my room. I walk into my small square room consisting of a desk night table and bed. I immediately take off my armor and lay down. I long for sleep and know it will be a long time before I find it. I grab my whet stone and pull Lola out of her sheath and start sharpening her edge as I pace back and forth in my small room. I hear a knock at my door and a worried look takes over my face. I answer the door sheathing Lola so as to not scare whoever is knocking at 2330. I open the door and don't even get a word out before I'm knocked unconscious by a giant fist.

I come to an hour later rubbing my jaw and looking around. I'm back in the directors office in a chair but surprisingly not tied up. I hear the door behind me slide open with a soft hiss, I spin around and breathe more easily seeing a familiar friendly face.

"Hi Abs" I smile and she just shakes her head

"Will Allen you are well there's no way to butter it up it's bad, but your good so the director is giving you special assignments the kind that involve black tape. You are to report to Tango base for assignment starting tomorrow. No detours, and try not to blow anything up on the way there." I smile get up and bow sarcastically "as you wish my liege" I walk out without another word unaware of the craziness that was about to happen in the few coming months.
