DeMarco continued his grudge as the kid somehow took a the pilots canteen without him noticing and was taking a big swing of the stolen water canteen as he gripped his Ma5 harder as it began to dent the metal alloys of the assault rifle 'Dam kid things he's all tough s**t just because he took down a veteran spec ops elite without armor and barely scathed . . . Must have been something that Forerunner orb did to help him out during his dual' He thought as he saw the orb float and randomly cloak in some kind of active camo device it picked off one of the fallen elite's right as the Pelican landed Gracefully on one of the docking bays of the Gigantic Human Ship Infinity.
"Stay in your seat folks for one moment while the cabin Depressurizes and then if you would be so kind to get the hell off my ship!" The pilot joked as he opened the rear ramp for the Spartans and hostag-ahem unknown Civilian .
The moment Fire team majestic left the pelican and Mark was the last one out, He was met with a semi circle of marine's raising there weapons a mixture of pistols and assault rifles with even one shot gunner, right as he was going to crack a joke he was shot with a arrow in the Knee (. . . Oh wait this isn't skyrim *runs off to another story yelling trolololo) he was met with a armored fist to the gut.
"OOF" Mike let out Doubling over and falling to the ground of pure human reaction expecting pain but was just met with the surprise of the random blow which just felt like a belly flop in the pool, knocking the air out of him.
Mike just sFire doubled over catching his breath up as a Female Spartan 4 in lad White armor without her helmet, with Brown hair, brown eye's and a ever so serious attitude. "As rude as ever aren't you Palmer." He said while rubbing his gut intuitively.
The only reaction he got Palmer was a Raised eye brow "How do you know me kid? . . . Don't bother asking we will interrogate you later. " se said as he moved in to knock out Mark. To which Mark just easily side stepped
"Good luck with him, he is in your hands now. . . Majestic lets get some grub" Spoke DeMarco as he took off his helmet shaking his head in frustration, and waving slightly to the group as he walked away with Majestic hot on his tail.
When Mark Dodged Palmer he took a pair of Cuffs off a marine nearby and cuffed himself "I'm coming peacefully but I need to talk with Dr. Hasely please tell her its something about her children. In exchange ill tell you everything I know to her im sure she will be most likely to wrap her head around this also " Mark said as he outstretched his arms
"Also I should warn you I kind of have a Forerunner A.I orb following me" he said just as Reliquam floated out of the pelican making almost all the marines circling him train their rifles on the small grey orb.
"Also Roland I am sure you will be interested in chatting with him his name is Reliquam close to requiem but it like Latin for the Remaining one" He said facing up towards the roof as a orange male A.I in a world war two bomber jacket and hat popped up on one of the holograms nearby. Before Roland could ask how he knew him he shouted out towards the end of the dock. "Majestic when im out of 'interrogation'" Mark said enthusing interrogation "I want to see you in the Spartan ops 1v5 sounds about fair." letting a huge grin plaster on his face as DeMarco shifted uneasily
Grunting "kid I think I will enjoy that teaching you, your god DAM PLACE GOD DAM WISE ASS!" DeMarco shouted pointing at Mark almost mad enough to toss and crack his helmet on the ground. "Ahem" he said suddenly composing himself straightening himself out and walking out the docks without another word.
When he left all eye's were on Mark all with the same question "Who the hell is this kid to piss of a Spartan so bad" Even palmer was slightly baffled by the kid.
Mark noticing all the stares directed at him he just had the urge do it and he did it "What? Don't tell me... let me guess I wont the lottery?!" Mark said in mock shock causing most of the Marines around him to face palm at his stupid attempt of a joke.
"Ok wise guy follow us attempt anything and i will personally ta-" palmer stopped as she lost track of mike, for he disappeared somewhere.
"ROLAND WHERE IS HE!" was the last Mike heard as the metallic door to the interrogation room closed shut.
"What is it that you know of my children? And what is this forerunner A.I you brought?" Came a stern woman's voice from behind him.
"Always straight to the point when it comes to your kids, you haven't changed Doc." He said turning around to a plain grey cubed room with a sleek silver chromed table and pair of chairs in the center.
"Its will always be seriousness with my children NOW tell me what you know I have a short temper when it comes to this topic." Dr. Hasely said placing her hands down firmly on the table looking up at Marks tall figure.
"How about we play your favorite game of trading information Doctor." Mark said sitting down across from her with both hands clasped on top of the table in front of him.
"I know your quite fond of that one first ill tell you a my story from my point of view, then you tell me what I want to know, then ill let Reliquam tell his part for some more information yes?" Marks said leaning forward slightly
"I don't know how you know me so well but . . . I agree to your terms tell me about yourself, then ill keep up my side." said now interested leaning up front on the table as well.
Then Mark told Hasely of what time period he was from and what he did in his 18 years of life time he had there till he was warped into this place and into the small skirmish he had with the spec ops elite's and fire team majestic.
"This . . . Is certainly interesting especially from normal people of your time period would of certainly had a mental break down or a complete denial that this is happening and just think it is just a figment of their imagination." Dr. Hasely said looking at Mark more closely.
"Well I do think I had a moment when reality set in that I wasn't in a game but Reliquam told me that their might be a way for me to Get back to my time period. But I partially believe that this is some sick joke and that I am still in a game." Mark said looking down at his hands looking for any sign of pixel or particle Distortion that a game would have.
Dr Hasely look soften as she looked at Mark Slight concern glinting in her eye's "That is certainly a interesting evaluation Mark, so now I will keep my end up what do you want to know?" She said reverting back to a serious expression.
"I basically know a lot more than you do now and of your future due to the game which I told you about but I would like to know if it it possible that you can help me By continuing the plot of the game and joining the covenant but to help me learn their side of the story."
"So Basically your asking me to do treason?" Dr Hasely said looking at him directly in the eye cocking her head lightly.
"Well in the plot of the game you kind of left and they sent the Spartan 4's to stop the covenant plan and to kill you , you survived but lost a arm in the process." Mark said as he simulated his arm Being chopped off.
Ignoring what he said "Depending Mark not with the technology we humans have but maybe if we can reach where this Reliquam want us to go to we might have a greater chance of success there but there is the possibility during the double jump me go back in time and bring the flood into your time period. . . ." stated.
"Interesting I have not considered that outcome, Mark you are right this Scientist is very capable." Reliquam chimed in floating up between them above the table. "I believe now is my turn to explain my story."
"I was created several days before the Halo array's we set off by myself when my creator who called herself the Librarian created me she told me that I was the last one The Reliquam because most of their A.I already submitted to the parasite form you call the Flood. She then after giving me my instructions sealed herself in a pod and went into a Shield world that I wasn't told of. Soon after she left the Flood raided the outpost I scrambled the knights and we lasted two human earthen days till the last knight fell I locked myself in the Control room with the original Gravemind Tempting me to join him to which I replied to by initiating the halo arrays and teleporting out of its range but instead I only traveled back and then further into time with the experimental engine that was on board at the time." Reliquam said looking downcast.
"This IS amazing this is never know past of the Forerunners!"exclaimed doctor haisley
"Um Dr a little respect for his past please he has feeling to..." Mark said sweat dropping when the A.I. flashed red momentarily.
"I.. " She paused as her eyes looked behind Mark where a section of the wall slid back. ".. Forgive my outburst its just this is a lot to take in" she said looking at Reliquam.
Noticing her gaze shift up and the soft charge of something Mark duck down in his seat as a taser streaked over where his back should be and landed into Dr Hasely's left shoulder sending her shaking violently out of her seat and onto the floor, pushing hard on his chair he rammed the back end into the attacker making them stumble backwards giving Mark time.
Looking back Mark came face to face with the white armoured spartan IV with a taser in her hand. Sara Palmer.
Narrowing his eyes "You again.. Didn't I say I'll come in peacefully?" Mark said barely dodgeing a armoured left hook from the spartan but not so lucky from her right sucker punch knocking him out cold.
