A Feeling of Importance Chapter 3
Well I'd like to start off by saying thank you to all of you that have offered their opinions on what I have so far and have been encouraged by what I have seen! As an announcement I would like to state that I will be attempting to upload every Monday and Friday. The key word in that is 'try'. Anyways, onto the story!
Also Thanks to edboy492 He brought up a good point in his review that I could have just had all of the Halo books on 'My' phone (I actually do IRL), and well the only reason this is not the case was because, well I forgot :P. Also thanks to him for the rest of the feedback!
As a response to JJ, I will consider the idea but originally I was going to go with the main character going into the ME universe. I'm doing this for the reason that I believe the possibilities for the story are much more prevalent and the universe more expansive!
As a side note, over half of this chapter was the product of my biology class… I probably should have been taking notes… but what the hell, I was bored. :P
As usual I appreciate all of your feedback!
Also new thing to add to the 'key' Time shift amount of time
-(Halsey's perspective)-
I can't help but to shake my head as I walk away from the infirmary where we had the boy that John's team found, Andrew. As crazy as his story sounded I wanted to believe him, and I didn't even know why. It was probably because of all of the classified information he was able to pull out of thin air, anyways maybe it's time for me to take a look at that book of his…
Time shift 5 hours later
-(My perspective)-
I awake to the sound of what would seem to be a pressurized door. Well here's to hoping this hasn't all been a dream and that Halsey believes me. If she doesn't… I don't even want to think about that, it wouldn't end well for me.
"Well, I believe you."
I opened my eyes to see Halsey standing at the other side of the room. Well there is that taken care of. Now what, wait didn't she mention something about hiding me from ONI before I went out?
"Now, we need to figure out what to do with you. If we hand you to ONI you will probably be locked away for the rest of your life and probably tortured for information."
"Yea… I would like to avoid that if possible." I interrupted.
"As any sane person would," was her reply. "Anyway, I have a proposition for you."
"So like an opportunity kind of thing, or an, if you don't do this bad shit happens kind of scenario. I'm guessing it will be the latter option.
"And you would find yourself correct."
"Well shit…"
"Indeed."
We sat there in silence for a few minutes, me hoping for my earlier guess as to what she had come up with as a solution. Ah damn I hope I'm right about this if I am this is either going to be fun as hell or suck worse than anything. After a few moments of just sitting there I expectantly looked towards the doctor. "So uh, care to share your marvelous plan?"
"How would you like to be a SPARTAN?
HA I WAS RIGHT YEA MOTHERFUCKERS LOOK WHOS GONNA BE A SPARTAN!
"I'm guessing you already know my answer, don't you?"
"Well considering the way that your universe perceives the future achievements of my SPARTANS… Yes, I have a good idea."
"Well I would be honored to join, I have a few requests however."
"As long as they are reasonable, I think I can work with that."
YES! On to the fun part.
"You ready?" I ask and she nods in reply. "Ok then, Schematics for UNSC firearms and vehicles, as well as training in how to build and maintain said systems. I would also like to be able to customize my MJOLNER, well when it's ready that is. Also…
-(Halsey's perspective)-
"… I would like a secure priority link to you and Mendez at all times."
Why would he need that?
I started to ask why but was swiftly interrupted as he hastened to explain.
"This would be so I could notify one or both of you to possible future events, because of my, well 'unique' source of information."
Ah that makes a bit more sense now. He continued to rant on, naming as many as five currently blacklisted projects and even more information on the SPARTANS.
A few minutes later
"And that's about it, is that reasonable?" he said as he finally ended, the hesitation evident in his voice.
Well he certainly was practical with his list, and reasonable, he even backed up his reasoning for almost everything… Well reasonable on everything with the exception of asking for a Paris class frigate, although I suspect he was being sarcastic about that… I think. "Yes," I replied to him. "Well everything except for the frigate…"
"Ah well, It was worth a shot," he said with a playful look in his eyes. "So, when can I start?" he asked as he took up a more serious look.
"Well the SPARTANS are about to go through their biggest challenge yet," I told him."
-(My POV)-
"Well fuck…" I think I know what she's talking about, it's probably the…
Smiley face and internet points for all those who review!
