hey guys,

just because some ACTULY reviewed with an opinion, i decided to give ya another chapter, ENJOY OR ELSE...


Chapter 4-reclaimer

As I was reading the manual I noticed the date, 2669,

"Wait, 2669? It's 2669! I've been in cryo for 117 years?"

"Yup, long time eh?"

"Ok, how is Halsey alive? Where'd you find her anyway?"

"Onyx, with blue team roughly 4 years ago, long story short none survived the following brute assault save for Halsey"

"Wow, lucky her"

"I know, they killed at least 4 Spartan IIs and still couldn't finish her off"

"so, they killed Kelly huh? Must of been a lucky shot"

"stray spike, went straight through her visor, not that hard considering how big it was"

"must a been a huge battle, huh?

"well they set a new record for most casualties suffered by us post war"

"poor Kelly, I'll miss her"

"I understand that... I miss Daisy"

There was a long and gloomy silence before he spoke again

"plug in Cortana, I think she's getting bored"

"Oh yeah,"

I plugged Cortana into my helmet, mentally cursing myself for forgetting about her,

"Took your time john"

"Look I was busy being shocked at the fact I'd been in cryo for 117 years"

"Ok that's armour, VBG later, TO THE BRIDGE!"

We walked just round the corner again to a lift or rather 7 lifts,

"We have such big ships now we need loads of lifts, although we do have stairs"

The lift was bright white with purple lines, seconds later the door opened to the bridge, everyone stood to attention, someone yelled

"Captain on the deck!"

We were walking towards the front of the bridge, when I heard something behind me

"Reclaimer, it is good to see you properly"

Turning around I saw a Forerunner AI, its body was teardrop shaped and it had 3 eyes with a forerunner symbol in the middle of its eyes,

"Chief, meet 05-032 Mendicant Bias"

"Hey, didn't I talk to you on the ark?"

"Correct reclaimer"

"Wait, you didn't call me reclaimer on the ark"

"I know, I thought it would be funny"

"Yeah he appears to have a sense of humour, unexpected but it gives me something to think about"

"Wasn't the ark destroyed?"

"Correct, it would seem a ship made a copy of my program"

"In addition to roughly 70 yottabytes of data, we're still processing the data, and that's less than one percent of what was stored on the ark"

"Ok, so bias on the ark you said something about your sins?"

"They are many, so what of them"

"Well, what did you do? Tear stamps off letters?"

"What are these stamps and letter you speak of?"

"Yeah we don't use letters anymore remember? It's all email now"

"So why doesn't bias know?"

"Well, since we don't use them anymore we can't show him them, and what pages on the civilian web were virused by some thoughtful person"

"Chief"

"Yes Cortana?"

"I've been analyzing the data I had access to"

"Yes?"

"Firstly you're listed as M.I.A, secondly, there are no files on ONI, and thirdly I can't find anything saying how your friend grew so tall so please ask, oh and bias sins?"

"What?"

"You asked bias about his sins?"

"Yeah, so what are they bias"

"I betrayed my creators"

"That it? I was expecting something bigger"

"I led the Gravemind to the gates of the forerunners, opening them to the flood, I became the destroyer of worlds, the murderer of quadrillions"

My mouth dropped open with awe; the AI controlling this ship killed its makers, its masters, what's to stop it killing us?

"To this day I still repent of those choices, so no I won't kill you all"

"Ok, I'm somewhat worried now"

"Don't worry, his bark is worse than his byte"

"Very funny, so why'd you take me down so hard on the dawn?"

"Minimal risk to the marines, and besides, you had attacked one already"

"Good explanation, but this isn't over yet"

"Whatever, we're heading to see Halsey soon, consider yourselves birthday presents"

"Well I can't be bothered to wait for the chief to ask, so captain, how did you get so tall?"

"Apparently we Spartans get taller as we get older, with no signs of physical aging at least none yet"

"Interesting"

"So yeah we didn't need the cryo pods"

This was annoying, mainly because I got freezer burn constantly, (and it burnt like hell) for no real reason, when I could of spent the time studying the enemy, or practising my aim, or even read a 21th century book.

"Go get some rest chief, whilst you still can"

With that I walked into the lift and pushed the private quarters button, the doors slammed shut, and the lift went down about 3 decks in a second, before slamming to a halt and opening, I stepped out and looked at all the doors, then I remembered I didn't know which one was mine

"DAMN IT"

I walked back into the lift and pressed bridge, again the lift flew upwards, as the door opened I was hit in the head with a piece of paper and a key card, "7th on the left, enjoy"

I pressed privet quarters again, the lift whooshed strait down, again,

"I hope you didn't drop the key card"
