-Location-
Adrift for weeks in unknown space thanks to an unknown Forerunner slip space jump, the UNSC "Pillar of Rome" Paris Class Frigate is slowly making its decent to unknown yet populated planet with a shattered moon. For an AI, it's a new discovery for humanity. For the Spartan, its holds the keys to his childhood that is all but forgotten.
Space, while it is vast and unknown, the Forerunners had multiple worlds sought out and prepared for the reseeding the galaxy. For humanity, it was the most difficult. Being complex creatures and having to have specific conditions to survive, much of humanity and the many subspecies placed on other worlds didn't survive. However, that doesn't mean that all was lost for finding other world still full of life. For one Humanity expanded across the cosmos, for the other, survival on their only home from creatures of black was growing slim.
The time for humanity to reunite from separation is upon the galaxy, though how will the natives react to an outsider with weapons far more destructive than they can create. And how with this outsider far on founding out his past.
Its been 3 months, 3 months since the random Slipspace jump that has sent the Modified Paris Class Heavy Assault Frigate, FN-1327 "Pillar of Rome" in to uncarted maps in the Milky Way. It's been 17 years since the end of the human covenant war, Humanity has rebuilt that was destroyed during those 30 years or war. Though factions of the Covenant remain intact, more forerunner artifacts are popping up in the middle of nowhere, it is still a fight to keep the out of the hands of the enemy, to preserver life. The UNSC and the Sword of Sanghelios, allies in the galactic conflict, technology advances have been plentiful since the end of Rampant Ai regime 6 years ago, for having most of all Capital Ships outfitted with Advanced Forerunner shielding and Slipspace and smaller escorts and similar slipspace drives, the UNSC sees promising futures ahead keeping peace in the galaxy.
However, multiple ships have been disappearing with in the last few months with new forerunner tech, UNSC and EUG officials cannot send full ship crews for search for the missing ships. The EUG has hired Spartan IVs to retrieve the missing ships. Spartan S-585 of former Fireteam Onyx was giving the opportunity to become a recovery agent of the EUG after losing his Fireteam 4 months ago after a weapons depo exploding holding experimental covenant tech. Second Lieutenant-Walter Mors is the last reaming Spartan of that Fireteam.
At the age of 25 Walter Mors as no know family, having being orphaned at the age of 6 , no memories of his childhood past were known before escaping with the evacuation of Reach, no mention of his home planet was ever ask until the fall of reach. The Office of Naval Intelligence was more the curious of this child with no matching record on any planet with in the EUG.
It made him more interesting.

3 months after Jump
-Inside the "Rome's" Cyro Bay-
All was quite aboard the heavy frigates damage hull, the only living soul resting peacefully in cryogenic stasis, was Spartan IV S-585 or Second Lieutenant-Walter Mors. he was taking a much need break from fighting covenant pirates and Prometheans staggered all over the ship. Though he was not alone in this situation having the "Rome" fall in endless space. Call her a close friend would be an understand, more like a sister than anything else, was UNSC AI Altera.
CNT MIL A.I. 12860-4 Altera, Currently in Holo form (A/N ok since I'm not lazy but can't really describe her appearance with great and grand detail, the AI is Mysterious Heroine X form F/EX, F/GO ((F/GO Stage 2)) and yes even though she is 'identified as Artoria, I feel that Altera just works better as a name in this setting and it would be easier in the long run for me. Oh and she likes things when they blow up…) was thinking to herself just as she as the past 3 months 'why has the UNSC not responded, I mean, I know the with the advance tech that was installed it should have been easy so pinpoint our location, UUhhggg…. I'm dying of boredom here when is anything exciting going to happen?' For being a smart AI, she had nothing else to do except for keeping her Spartan alive, and I mean HER spartan. You see Altera being a 4th Generation AI she has the Capacity to live almost 3 times as long as the original AIs during the Human Covenant war. but about Walter being Her spartan, well it most likely stated after their first mission together about 4 ½ years ago, were they didn't see things eye to eye when I came to mission statues, especially if forerunner tech was involved. She became a hated being with the rest of fireteam onyx since the first mess-up with a forerunner teleporter sending them to and artic zone on the opposite of the orbiting moon.
Lucky having her train of thoughts interrupted, the Rome's long range sensors were picking up some new information. Nero received, processed and accepter what information just came in.
The sensors had picked that they were in fact and undiscovered star system, thought Altera didn't come up with a name right away and more focused on see exactly what was out there. They were getting locked in orbit into the small gas giant that was roughly half the size of Jupiter, a 2 super-heated dwarf near the star itself and a garden world roughly 1/3 the size of Earth, a little larger then Mercury and moon half the size of Pluto. But it was the moon that had her mentally freeze looking at it. Reason being half the moon was shatter, immediately snapping out of her trance and staring at her spartan, she pulled up a fill that she was always looking back at when ONI decided to find out what was his pasted.
"October 20,2552 Walter Mors age 7 Height: 128cm Weight: 59Lbs Hair: Dark Blonde Eyes: Blue 15-15 Skin: Caucasian Blood Type: O-. Recently evacuated off the planet Reach, No Recent Medial Record matching any Human In the UNSC or EUG." So how exactly does a kid had no matches to anyone in all of humanity living on Earths Front Door step?"
In a small interrogation room were to men in black and grey suit questioning a small boy who had no recollection on how he got there. Waking up and being dragged away he no choice but to let them take him.
" I…I… don't know what you are talking about." Scampered the young boy.
"Listen here you shit, I asked you a question and I want Answers!"
"Chris not it off, you're getting no were yelling and screaming at him, he's only 7 for god's sake"
The ONI officer identified and Chris Scoffed and looked displeasing at his partner.
"Please excuse him, he's just in a foul mood, ok im just going ask you a few questions ok and I would like you to answer then as best as you can, can you do that for me?" asked the other ONI Officer, " Im Mike be the way."
"o..k…ok what kind of questions are you going to ask me mr. mike?"
"Just a few simple one no need be scared alright? First question do you know anything before you left the rest of the civilians off of reach?"
"no… not really its kinds blurry, I remember and big guy with cool looking helmet carry me down the stairs, but that's about it."
"What color what this big figure in? do you remember the color by chance?"
"I think it was dark grey like black kind of color and he helmet on and I was the same color but my reflection was green."
"Hmm.. interesting I'm pretty sure you met with you of our Spartan IIIs that was on a search and rescue mission getting civilians evacuated. But anyhow, since we don't know exactly your home planet, do you remember anything that stood out at home?"
"ummm….. the moon was broke."
"Broke? What you do mean broke?"
Like the right side was like floating away with lots af cracks in it."
Both ONI officers looked at each other skeptically, knowing that there weren't any known worlds to have a shattered moon, but still listen to what that young kid had to say.
"I see. And is this something you remember or you are there?"
"I…I see it dreams."
"Dreams?"
"Yea… dreams… but they are usually nightmares and I wake up in a cold sweat." As he said starting to shiver and sweat.
"Do you remember any of though nightmares?"
'Ok, I don't need to listen to that again' as Altera though looking back at her spartan then back to the hollow projection the garden world and its moon.
"ok, I'll send out the probes out to see what exactly is out there before waking him up" Altrea said in not more than a whisper.
Bring up the Holo Grid of the Ships main frame, looking over the ships status one more time.
Engines: Yellow
Life-support: Green
Slipspace-Drive: Red
Weapon Systems: Offline
Emergency Lifeboats: 15/32 Yellow
Probes: 20/20 Green
After imputing the new coordinates for the probes and readjustments for the ship to get into orbital rotation in the asteroid belt and wait for the tech data form the probes. "I hope I'm doing the right thing, I mean not waking him up yet and seeing that moon. I mean it is a coincidence that it's a shattered moon, Right?" As Altera said while waiting for the results to come back to the Rome.
But little did she know she was following a plan made long ago that was set in stone, and yet, didn't even know it.
Its been currently 5 hours since the drones have been sent out, since then, the Rome has moved in position roughly a few 10 thousand miles from the garden worlds shattered moon, tech data from the asteroid belt proved very promising. With less than 2% of the belt scanned, high concentration of Iron 14%, Nickel 17%, Aluminum 12%, Titanium 7%, as well and more finer metals as Gold 4%, Silver 9%, and Platinum 2%, we will have to farm some of those in the higher metal count. As for the planet and whatever civilization on it, 6 Major landmasses, 5 massive population centers and numerous smaller settlements doting the landscape, but strangely enough, no major expansions inland more than 200 miles. In to mention a vast section of dark energy residing on the 2nd largest landmass.
Seeing that there not much data could be recovered without having feet on the ground, Altera proceeded to wake up her spartan from cyro-sleep and address the situation, and allowing said spartan to regain his bearings for being out for 3 months.
"Wakey, Wakey Lieutenant" Altera mocked, Spartan Mors (A/N I have finally realized that I haven't said what armor my spartan is in and really haven't set up the wording to describe it, sorry. Will be down below at end of chapter.) stepping out the cryo-chamber ignored her and first but then regaining his senses figured that they were wither found or they were on crash course on some unidentified body.
"Altera, why did you wake me?" Mors Asked.
"Well there is some good news and some bad news, which would you like to hear first? Altera asked, though knowing which one her spartan would want answered.
"Altera…"
"Ok-Ok fine, Bad news is that it's been a little over 3 months and still no UNSC contact, Slip-space drive is completely shot, weapon systems are still office though since your awake I think we can get them back online within the hour, and even if we did have the slip-space driving working I wouldn't guaranty a full tip back home would even be possible." Explained the AI.
"*sigh* Ok, then what's the good new then?"
"Right, good news is that on entering this new solar system, the asteroid belt that orbits the sun has quite the large amount of rare metals and I've received a small scan of less than 3% in the past 4 hours. Also, I've moved use in to planetary orbit above the garden world in this system. Though I would recommend that you pull me and put me on the holo-table so you can see the bigger picture."
Taking the AI Chip out of the Holo-pedestal, Spartan Mors then proceeded to head to the command bridge and get a good look at the situation.
"so what else can you tell me without having to show me?" Asked the Spartan.
"Well, being that the planet is roughly 1/3rd size of Earth, about 5 % bigger then Mercury, there are 6 major land masses on the planet, 2 reseeding near its north pole, 3 reseeding in the northern and southern hemisphere though one is showing a large amount of dark energy on the continent, though the same energy reading in all over the planet in the inlands than the coast, and the last on a mostly dessert island in the southern hemisphere."
"Alright any signs of life?"
"Yes, I detected 6 massive population centers dotting the planet along with at least 3 dozen much smaller centers dotting to coast, though none of the centers going more than 300 miles inland. I would have more data on this but there is an odd frequency that making very difficult to get information without being on the ground, I lost 4 of the ships drones do to frequency failures and made sure they self-destructed before entering the atmosphere."
"Its fine, you side that it would be better off to have boots on the ground anyways to get any real information by matching the frequency on the ground?"
"Yes, once on the ground, I'll be able to match the frequency almost immediately and see what information comes in." explained Altera.
Finally arriving on the Rome's commanded bridge, Spartan Mors proceed to insert Altera's AI chip in the Holo-table, thus projecting the Garden would they were currently orbiting. Altera's Avatar popping up alongside the World-projection stated highlighting population centers, along with the dark energy.
"Altera, are you noticing anything odd about the placement of those population centers?" Asked Mors.
"Yes, I did, after some further digging, this is A. a colony world inhabited by and unknown race. However, I don't believe that this is the case here since I'm not detecting any sort of Hawking or Checkov Radiation designating Slip-space jumps… though that dark energy could easily be hiding any jumps if there were."
"… or b?"
"Or B. it's a Pre-Spaceflight, postindustrial world with significant border issues, as you can see, none of the 5 major Centers expands more than 200 miles inland and I'm guessing that dark energy many have a large part of it. Though that doesn't say that all of them have that problem. The Northern Center Expanded from what I can gather 25 miles north and south along this river having its narrowest point maybe 15 miles wide. I'm guessing this particular settlement can't expanse do to the freezing tempters, not to mention the dark energy seem only to be residing in the mountainous regions 50 miles north and 10miles east across the river."
"Hmm… what do you think best option here Altera, and before you ask I want to hear what you say." Thought Mors as he moved away from the Holo-Table and to the Observation deck. "open observation Shutters."
"…"
"…Altrea."
"…Walter."
As Altera said Mors's first name, he knew the conversation just became extremely serious. Living in the military since his enlistment at 16, Mors new that being called by your last name was just how everyone communicated. That was the deal, though calling someone by the First name was spelling for trouble. Life or death situations were just a few to name, in all seriousness, a bomb was about to be dropped.
"… when-when we arrived in this system no more than 12 hours ago, I was finally hoping for the UNSC for find us or have our beacon found and help was on the way. I was wrong and more of the fact scared on what I found, what I saw. Something that was said from you all those years ago in that interrogation file From ONI After reach fell." Said Altera getting ever quitter at the end of the sentence.
Mors was now confused on what his AI wanted to say. All he asked was to see what the Planet looked like from human prospective, not the scan, and not have the conversation go south and talk the many talk he had with ONI when he was young.
"You said that you never really saw it but more in your dreams, being of darkness, a child friend with amber eyes, but what you said always stuck out was."
"a shattered moon." Said Mors in a dejected tone.
"Yes, a shattered moon. I know it sounds crazy and it's just a coincidence that we just happen to fall into a system with a shattered moon, but looking back, the UNCS had no records of Any EUG planet with a broken moon, not mention that your blood did not match any citizen anywhere in the entire UNCS EUG data base before and during the human-covenant war. but that fact that a little 7-year old's drawing of a broken moon matches up pretty well for just remembering it in a dream." Altera said in depressing tone as she touched the holo-pad to open the observation shutters. Her Spartan can easy tell she was disappointed from not telling him this sooner.
Looking out in the Observation deck. Spartan Mors could only bask in the beauty of that this planet was showing, Mors if not for a second freeze at the sight of the moon being shown out the window, being up something that would only remember in a dream.
Running through a dimly light green forest Walter was chasing after someone, Hide and Seek if he was correct. He didn't remember who she was but he knew she was a friend.
"Come on Walter, your it and you must catch me if you want me to be it." Said a small girl roughly the same age as him maybe a little young if you look closely. She wore a small red sundress with some yellow sun crests that went just past her knees. She had Charcoal Black that was short maybe not even past her chin and amber eyes that seemed to glow in the dark as she ran away to hide amongst the trees.
After losing sight of her again Walter couldn't really think of a way to catch her without alerting her of his presence. After 5 minutes of chasing and running out of breath he could just see her outline just outside of a clearing on a hill. Being as sneaky as a 5-year old without any breathe could be, he quietly inched himself closer and closer this his female friend. Since he knew that she could probably hear him come up on the other side tree, he decided to hold his breath and get as close to her and scare. Unfortunately, that was not that case since as soon as he jumped around that other side of the tree the girl was not there but behind hind and decide to push him out in to the open area of that hill. With no energy to even get up and tag her, Walter just laid there under a star lit sky and a shining full moon.
Turing his head to his side he could see that the girl was laughing at him for not tagging her.
"*giggle* oh Walter you're so funny thinking you could sneak up on me, you know I'm the best at hide and seek not even your sisters can catch me." Said the little as she laid down right beside her tired friend.
Both enjoying the company of close friends, the moon slowly started to peek out for the clouds and both children at awe of a full moon.
Slowing snapping back to reality Spartan Mors finally registered that his Ai was tiring to get his attention while he was reflection on that vision of that past.
"Sorry Altera just lost in thought for a min. what were you saying as a was spacing out?" Asked Mors to his AI.
"I was asking if you were alright, your bio feed was showing that your brain activity was very high and you weren't responding." Said Ai in somewhat in a conserving tone.
"Yea… Yea I'm Fine just filling in the Gaps I guess." Looking back out that window, Walter couldn't shake that feeling that it just felt right to be here, he didn't know why or what reason it just felt right looking at the moon. "Looking at that moon, I don't know what about it makes it so interesting, but it just feels right, yea know? Makes it feel comforting like it did seeing it in my dreams. I don't remember anything about my past after reach fell, and I doubt that with world has the answers I'm looking for, but looking at that planet. I feel something, something calling out to me and I don't know why." Turing to his Ai will smile underneath his Helmet. "But i know for a fact, we'll figure out exactly what's going down there."
Altera Couldn't have had a bigger smile on her face when she heard him say that.
"Altera how soon can you have a pelican up and ready for in atmosphere flight, along with weapon stocked in Drop-Pods incase the situation calls for heavy armaments?"
"I can have the weapons in the Drops within 30 mins and a pelican fueled and fully within the hour as well. I'm guessing you'll want Rockets, Sniper rifles, portable torrents loaded incase shit really hits that fan?" Asked Altera in a more than sarcastic tone.
"They only way we know how too Partner, the only way we know how to." Exclaimed Spartan Mors now sporting a standard issue BRH85HB Battle Rifle and a M6H2 Magnum Pistol.
"Well I'm glad that will bring getting back in ta grove of things, been kind of boring keeping me all coopted up here while you're having fun on the ground" Said Ai in joking tone. "So, you already to get to work?"
"I'd thought you'd nerve ask."
A/N Ok first things First this is my First Official Chapter to this story, i couldn't figure out exactly how to update the story with out some getting screwed up but the first part is here. undated will not really be on a solid scheduled since i'm uncertain on how long writing will take... i work in fertilizer plant not a writer...
yes i Know that in the Halo Universe that the Spartan IVs have there one Ranking ans Spartans but my OC was in the Army before being requited int he Spartan IVs so i guess it would make some sence
The AI is in fact Mysterious Heroine X from the Fate Universe and she will look like the Stage 2 of her outfit as here name i changed it since saying Artoria would sound odd as an AI and i just realized as well that Altera sounds odd to and yes i for got that Altera is Allia the Huns name as well so unless someone has a different name to add in i will most gladly look it over.
as for the Name of the Ship i just went with some thing that reminded of me of Halo 3 and Saying Pillar of Autumn sound Awesome So i though What other pillar of "Something" sounds good and Rome just fit with me and yes i plan on adding other stuff to the "flashbacks" to fill in the back story thoughts will come in later chapters and hopefully it will all make sense to everyone and if it does just left me know and ill fix it.
OK for Spartan Appearance since i for got to Add it is A Halo 5 Gen 2 Mark VI Regent Armor Set Primary Color Steel Secondary Moss green Visor Silver/Gunmetal Grey which as being pretty basic. his Human Appearance Will be hopeful be Revealed in the Writing and Not in the Auther notes and should happen next chapter
yes i know the first flash back could use some work it was first attement so do bear with me, as for as the second flash back with the little girl you could already guess on who it is
and For Villains i hope i don't disappoint with them in later chapters
in later Chapters i will be doing flash backs in the Spartan missions So Ill Ask for OC ideas when they come around to flashbacks.
and please. if your good at writing and see something that needs fixed let me now and help a writer out i don't do this for a living :-P
and as for questions just leave them in the reviews and ill respond back too them in the next update.
thanks again for going there and reading my Story .
