Life uncharted

Chapter 1: being mad is beyond the issue

Commander of Noble Team was going through Noble Six things and putting them in boxes. Kat was in there helping him; she was looking through the books and smile when she saw a photo of the team in one of the books. Jorge was in the mess hall shuffling his deck of cards to play another round of 21 with seven. "Come on Kenny you can do better than that." Jorge said with a small smile "I know I can but your so good at cards that no one can win." "I'm not good at playing 21 so you have a chance to win."

Noble Four known as Emile was sitting in his room with his knife sharping it. He was angry, but knew that it was expected from them to be successful in their mission and sometimes it means it might be your life to be successful. Noble Three known as Jun was in Noble Eight's room talking with her about the Death of their Noble Six that they just lost. "Sam I know you miss him but he knew the risk of the mission." "I know but I wish he would've waited for the back up that was coming to him."

I was sitting at Exodus thinking about my past issues, but sometimes you can't help, but think about the past issues. I was so disappointed in myself that I didn't help the spartan I found dying of his wounds at New Harmony. I was just hoping that the team I was going to be joining won't distrust me or at least be angry at me but if that happen I would be tossing them through a wall. I have a hard time trusting people since ... well that is another tale to tell for another time.

As Kat smiled at the picture of Noble Six she had to show Carter it so that maybe he would cheer up a bit. Carter did smile at the photo and he put it with Thoms things and look at Kat. "What did I do wrong Kat to make him think he had to do something that stupid." Carter said Paranoid about want Thom had done just so they would win or at least feel like they won this time. "We can never know what he was thinking when he did that, and I know it doesn't really answers your question on why he did want he did." Carter knew what she was talking about and pick up two boxes and carried them out to the warthog to be delievered to his family so that they can look through them. Kat followed close behind with the remaining two boxes.

Emile didn't come out the rest of that day he was angry not upset he was never upset even though some people would be thinking he was upset. He was distrubed from whatever he was doing by Jun. "Hey Four you coming to eat with the rest of us?" Emile look up at him and went back to his work ignoring Three. Jun left Four's door frame and went to the mess hall to go eat with Eight right behind him. Jorge was already sitting down and eating with the others Seven was talking to him though a full mouth and Jorge look at him with a raised eyebrow. "What are you saying Seven?" "I was saying where's Four?" "He decided not to come eat." Jun said while taking his seat at the table.

After the two months of their Noble Six being gone, they knew he was going to be replace with a new sparatan soon. Emile mostly kept to himself when he was at base never bugged anyone and it almost seem to have lost him cuz it was too peaceful around the base and that was making Carter a little unease about it. Kat saw Carter sitting there looking at a file that he had got from Colonal Holland. "So who are they sending?" Kat asks sitting down across from him. "A new Noble Six, But the Spartan's file is covered in so much black ink it hard to tell if we're going to trust this one." Carter said looking up at Kat. "Yea I figure after you said the so much black ink part." Kat said putting her head in her hands. Eight was by the door over listen when she wasn't surpose to.

Seven was with her wondering why Eight was interested in the conversation that the commander was having with Noble Two. But Seven didn't want to get caught so he left to find something to do. Eight left the area back towards her room to read or to think.

I was sitting in a warthog on my way to Noble base to meet my new team it was reminding me of... I will not say for I hate thinking about it. The warthog stop in front of a base that will be my new home and hopefully I will be ignored while I'm here. I walk from the warthog and pass some marines that was doing a routine like they always do. I saw a big guy in the back by a hanger door lean on it talking to someone that look familiar to me, but could not place it.

Jorge saw the warthog stop and saw the new noble six climb out in armor that fit a female spartan and to his surprise he found himself urge to go talk to the spartan. Seven known as Kenny followed his eye sight and spotted what his best friend was looking at. "Looks to me to our new Noble Six." Seven said to his friend watching the spartan as well. "Yep it is, you know two spartans on our team won't like it." Jorge said to Seven looking at his friend with a face of a paranoid look. "That I hope to avoid at least." Seven said paranoid at the thought of a fight about to happen.

Has I walk in and down the hallway to where I was to meet the Commander I was face to face with another Spartan that was in armor. This spartan stood with an angry stance that I notice he also had a skull like visor helmet which he might have carved the skull there himself. Now this wasn't a peaceful stare down this was a stare down of pure intent on wanting to kill one another. It didn't take long for the spartan in front of me to make the first move by trying to slash at me with a knife he had on his shoulder. So I grab his wrist and twist it around where his arm was behind him and I slam him to the wall with a hard thud.

I got close to where his ear was and said to him in an angry tone. "I didn't come here to fight the team I'm here to do my job and if it has to kick your ass all the time than I will if it interfers with my job." I let him go and walk off down the hallway leaving him standing there trying to get the feeling back in his arm. I got to the mess hall where I saw the commander sitting there with his LT. Commander, I walk over there and made my present known. "Commader?" I said giving him my full attention. "Huh? Oh your my new Noble we've been expecting you and I've seen your file and some of the parts that O.N.I didn't want me to see." Cartor said but continue on the rest what wanted to say "But we work as a team and that lone wolf has to go." "yes sir." I said as I stood there looking around wondering what I could do so I turn my head to the Commander again "Sir is it alright if I explore the area of the base." "Go ahead Spartan and when you come back I'll show you to your room." I nodded my head went on my way to explore the base.

Seven and Five had totally forgot about the new noble six and was out on the field trading punches not to hurt one another but to see who throw the best one even though Seven knew Five would win the game. "You know Seven I wondered how far you'll land if I tossed you?" Jorge said grinning Seven gulp down the fear of being toss and accept the challage. Jorge pick up Seven with ease and than he toss him with seven landing 13 feet from Five. "Wow 13 feet Jorge." said Seven getting up from where he was tossed. I walk to where they were and watch them enteract with one another and notice they acted like best friends.

I step out onto the dirt and walk to them and grab a rock and tossed it to their feet to get their attention which I got. Jorge turn his head to see the new Noble Six standing there in armor and also notice that it was a female Spartan. Seven was even looking at her with a tilt of his head to the left. Jorge smiled at her "So your our new noble six huh?" "Yea." Is all I said to him. Deep down in my chest I felt my heart beat faster and I was confused on why my heart was beating that fast.

Seven was looking back and forth from Jorge and the new six confused what were they saying to each other in silence is what he wondered. Jorge stood there looking at her with his smile still there, he was shock no I wouldn't say shock stunned by her but that was just the shell of the armor she was wearing he wanted to at least seen her true self that lies underneath the armor. I broke the stare down by nodding and walking away to check more of the base. Seven stared at Jorge "So what was that about?" Seven asks Jorge "I don't know Seven."

Eight came out of her room to the mess hall to talk with Commander about the new Noble six they were getting, "Hey Carter can we talk?" Eight asks coming in and standing next to his chair waiting for his answer. "Sure Eight we can talk." Kat got up and left to let them talk so she left to the hanger to see to a warthog that need fixed. "Carter are you sure about the new member?" Eight asks while taking a seat in a chair that Kat had previous. "No but it was need." Carter said while looking at the file again to make sure he was making the right decision about this. "It just doesn't feel right replacing him like this." "I know Eight but there is nothing I can do about it, command has orders and we are to occply to them." Carter said looking at Eight with his serious eyes "I understand." Is all she said as she stood up to go hang with Three again.

I walk back to the mess hall after exploring the base to be lead to my room that I was going to staying in. "Commander?" "At ease Six no need to feel tense around me but I will be honest with you." I waited for he still had some more to say. "Some of the Nobles on the team seems to be a little distant to you for you are new to us and please understand that'll it take time for them to get use to you." "Understood." I said to him after he was on his feet and we're walking down the hallway towards another hallway and then we turn right to another set of hallway and to see eight sets of doors.

Commander stop by the first door on the right "This will be your room you can do whatever you want to it to make the room look you if you so fit." "Understood." "You had a long day I expect that you may want to rest to get the strength back for tonight activites." He said to me as he left to find Kat. I walk into my room and notice it was bare with nothing in it just the way I like it with just a bed and something to put my clothes in and that's it. I take my helmet off to let my short jet black hair set on my head from being in the helmet so long and set the helmet on the drasser. I knew my belongings will be arriving tomorrow and I'll just have to deal with the clothes I have on for now.

Piece by piece I took the armor off and set in the display case that was in the room. I was half way done when there was a knock on the door, I walk towards the door with half armor on as I open the door and came face to face with the spartan I saw outside that was with the big guy, his mouth was open and I look at him with a glared. "What do you want!?" I ask a little angry for he had distrubed my alone time. "Will geez just wondering if you wanted to come eat dinner with the rest of us." Seven said with a huff "I'm not hungry." I said shutting the door in his face. Seven grunt out a sighed of annoyance and walked back towards the mess hall.

Seven returned to the mess hall and sat in his chair with a huff, "Hey Seven is she coming?" Asks Jorge who had shwo him enter. "She said no for she wasn't hungry." Seven said a little disappointed cuz for the first time in like 5 years of not seeing her he was shock to see her, but he also notice that she was different like she wasn't herself anymore that being a spartan and killing things were only keeping her from going insane about something from what he gathered. Seven wanted to tell Eight that her sister was the new noble six but he thought it would come back and haunt him.

Jorge got up from his chair grabbing his plate of food and the one that was getting cold and left the mess hall towards the rooms where the spartans slept and knock on Noble six's door. I got up from my bed of clean my helmet and open my door to see the big guy standing there with two plates of food. "I thought you would like company." Jorge said with a smile I just look at him with a stare not the one I give Kenny but a softer one maybe not that soft but not as harsh. I moved aside and let him in and he set the plate that was for me on the bed and he settled down in a chair I took my place back on the bed grabbing the plate he had brought in.

Four was sitting at the table quiet like a mouse and the team was not worried of him but kinda shock to know he wasn't complaining about how bad the food tasted. Eight put her fork down and stood up to get her training clothes on. Three was already there waiting on the others to get there I came of course after Five who had said his name was Jorge that there was to be training out in the field in training clothes which in turn was just my clothes I had under my spartan armor. Jorge and I arrived at the same time. Eight was shock to see that the new member was her sister Sam was about to speak her mind but she stop when Commander order their attention to him.

Carter look towards the new member and than back to the rest of them "You all know what to do and I expect a full teamwork results in the end, Six you are new to the team and I'll pair you off with Two who is familiar with the course." Six stared straight at Two and went back to look at Commander. "Now the rest of you know who your be paired with so get to it!" Kat walk over to me and stood there "Hey I'm Noble Two known as Kat." "Hi I'm Six." "Let's show the boys how teamwork works." I smiled a smile that wasn't a real smile but they don't have to know that.

Kat and I were doing the course like it was nothing, I notice my Sister was pairred with the Commander, Jorge with the black fellow with the scars and Kenny was with the bald one. Kat and I were in the lead if it was a contest but it wasn't I just felt that we were in the lead. Now we were doing a course were your teammate is injured and you had to find a way to get your teammate to safety. Now this was putting memories up front with Six it got her thinking that the team she was on was the team she was with before and watching them vanish before her eyes. Six knew that Kat would act the injured Spartan that need to get to safety and so without warning Six grabbed Kat's left arm and sling her over her shoulders one arm between the legs and the other holding both arms and Six was off through the course.

The course was of any real accident that would deploy any spartan teams to. Kat was shock she couldn't move or wiggle around Six had a good grip on Kat as Six notice that she was wiggle like any injured squadmate would do. Kat was watching the others and notice that Emile was having a tough time with Jorge cuz Commander had informed them that Jorge would be acting the injured squadmate and it made it hard for Emile to figure out how to get him to safety. Kat also notice that Sam was also having troubles not the figuring out how to carry him but how not to feel embrass about it. Kenny and Jun had no problem they were on the same track as we were.

It was short lived when one of the fake missles that were to land 10 yards from them was directed in the wrong area and it hit the ground next to Six and Kat tossing Six off her feet to the ground. But Six had somehow block the blast that came from it from Kat. Seven saw the whole thing and drop Jun on his back and rash over there to check on them so did the others maybe not Eight and Four but they did cuz of Two.

Kat got to her feet and help Six to hers when they came over. "You two okay?" Asks Carter "Yea Commander we are just miss it by an inch." Kat said dusting dirt off her, I was dusting dirt off her when she came face to face with the one person Six been wanting not to confront about anything. Six did have time to react to Sam's movement when her hand connected to her face make her side step to the left to keep balance. "What were you thinking in taking that route to get her to safety!?" I glared at her not saying a word. "Eight it was the only route through and we both agreed on taking it." Kat said getting in between them. I knew it was a total different story than what she wanted to say to me but I think that'll be a different accident for later.

Jorge was going to help me to the med wing but I walk away on my own power, I knew this team would not accept her it never will and that is just fine with her.
