"Talking"

"Thoughts"

Griff and Simmons

Outside the base stood Simmons and Grif, watching the ships and soldiers of the UNSC arrive and work to prep Chorus and them for leaving. They had gotten off the Staff of Charon mostly unscathed. Nobody died and Grif even got the Grifshot back, though those UNSC guys had been eyeing it since they came to get them back home. Simmons had been quiet since they escaped the ship. Grif thought that was fine since he didn't have to hear him whining anymore.

"Hey Grif "Said Simmons.

"Ya?" replied Grif.

"You ever wonder why we are here?"

"Oh fuck...Haven't we gone over this like a million time Simmons?"

"No I mean seriously why are we here? How did we end up from a small boxed in canyon in the middle of nowhere where we were fake soldiers playing army to being captains in an army on a planet in the middle of nowhere fighting a corrupt politician leading a black ops mercenary unit fighting over alien technology in the middle of a civil war?" Yelled Simmons, getting louder and more exasperated the longer it went on.

"You know honestly I have thought about it and I came to an answer…I don't really give a fuck Simmons" Grif responded.

"Really? That's you're big answer? You don't care…well no surprise there i guess. Alright well we should go get to the Warthog and get on the ship so we don't get left here again." Said Simmons

"Yeah, you're right. Hey Simmons…Shotgun" Yelled Grif.

"Shotgun…Fuck!" Yelled Simmons.

Suddenly a message appeared on both their HUDs: Multi-key password accepted.

"What the hell?" said the two of them in unison.

Suddenly the message disappeared and Church appeared in its place between two other A.I.s, one yellow and the other a cyan.

Sup Assholes. Alright look I left you guys a special message. It would only activate when you two did something only you two do together. The point of this was because you two need to be together for this part. I've been leaving A.I. fragments for people and you two get these guys, Eta and Iota. They are the twins. They came into this world together and they work together the best. That's why I'm giving them to you guys, because you two are basically twins like these guys. You guys are "Grif and Simmons", it's always been you two together against whatever the fuck got thrown your way, and that's the way you guys gotta stay if you want these guys to do awesome, cause when these two work together they can do great things. Simmons you get Eta. He's a little fearful, like you but not as much, but you guys can make each other a bit braver. Griff you get Iota. He is a happy guy and maybe he can make your somewhat annoying pessimism a little less often. Also he'll be happy when you get a good burn on Simmons so he's like a little cheerleader kinda. Either way the point is these guys and you guys work best together, and that how you guys should stay cause even as a A.I. I knew nothing could stop "Grif and Simmons" if they worked together.

And Church disappeared and Eta and Iota appeared.

Hey guys, I'm Iota and this is my brother Eta." Iota said gesturing to himself and Eta.

"…hel…hello…" said Eta timidly.

"We are excited to be here and we wanna work together to help you, so yeah this will be great." Iota said with excitement.

All the while he was talking all Grif could think was that this guy was a lot like Matthews…too much of a kiss ass…and then he realized… "HA, Church called you a chicken" laughed Griff looking at Simmons.

"Haha that's awesome" said Iota.

Grif suddenly liked the A.I. more. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

"You know you shouldn't be some mean" said Eta afraid of what could happen.

"Eh don't worry bout it, they are just being assholes" said Simmons.

"Well I just have one questions before we go...if that's ok" said Eta.

"Sure go ahead."

"Well we are just kind of wondering um…why are we here?" said Eta shyly.

"Yeah why are we here I was wondering myself" said Iota.

Grif and Simmons looked at each other thinking what to say. Simmons started to answer.

"Well…it all started a few years ago, Griff and I were standing on top of our base and…"
