"Curtis do you have a weapon on you?" Kyle asked over the COM

"No"

"Here take this" handing him the lightsaber that he got from his dual with Darth Vader "to turn it on slide the switch on the side"

"Copy that." Red 1 then changed the COM Chanel he was using to the COM channel the rest of the team was using.

"Chief do you copy. Red 3 do you copy over?" after a few seconds he was about to give up when he got a reply.

"Chief here Red 3 is here as well." Red 1 was relived as he heard that news

"Ok copy that we might have a transport" said Red 1 as he checked if his locater beacon was still active it was "Can you get a lock on my locater beacon?"

"Hold on yes we got a lock on your Beacon"

"Move to our location. We are heading east"

"Copy that on our way now." After three minutes John and Brandon caught up to them they fell into step behind Kyle and Curtis as the group came to a clearing all the Spartans were surprised to see a giant tree. Jake turned around and to his surprise there were now four Spartans behind him. What surprised him more was that he did not hear any of them as they walked behind him.

"Ok follow me" said Jake as he walked toward the base of the tree. Once he got to the base of the new home tree he turned around and to his surprise there was no one behind him. But when he looked closely he saw four shimmering shapes. Wow they have a cloaking device thought Jake as he moved up the roots that spiraled up the center of the tree. When he got to the top of the tree were the banshees were kept but there was also a Samson painted blue next to a small hut. As they approached the hut a woman came out of it.

"Hey Jake" said Trudy (For the record I think Trudy should not have died so let's just say she jumped out with a parachute) "what can I do for you?"

"I need you to give someone a lift."

"Who?" she asked but just after she asked that the Spartans turned off their active camouflage. Trudy jumped back and pulled out her sidearm aiming at Curtis.

"These are the people need a lift" said Jake Trudy slowly lowered her gun.

"Where do they need to go?"

"We are here to find some of our men that went missing"

"Fine Jake lets go" they all walked toward the Samson gunship. Trudy climbed up and took the covers that protected the air intakes the Spartans climbed into the back of the Samson. Trudy then got into the pilot compartment closed the hatch as the poisonous air got cycled out she took off her exopack and started up the engines. They started to slowly lift off of the top of home tree.

"So which way are we going" Trudy asked through the COM system.

"Head straight north" Kyle replied

"Copy that" said Trudy as she turned straight north. After about an hour of flying the Spartans radar started to fill with contacts then just as fast as they appeared they disappeared then started to flash. "That is the flux vortex it messes up most electrical systems." They flew through a bank of fog to the Spartans surprise to see many floating rocks. Then they started to get a distress signal chief then replied to it with a six note song he took a breath then he whistled the tune aly aly oxenfree all is clear. After a few minutes Chief started to lose hope and he was about to get ready to give up but then he heard the same song back followed by "John is that you we are all still hear." Said Kelly joy was evident in her voice. "Chief sending you our coordinates now" a NAV beacon soon appeared on their heads up display.

"Come about twenty degrees" said Kyle to Trudy who immediately complied. We are heading to site 34 thought Trudy. They approached a flying rock that had a small building that had RDA written on the side in white letters. They landed next to the building as they disembarked the Samson four figures came from the building three in older MJOLNIR armor and Doctor Hasley. The Spartans quickly rushed forward first exchanging the traditional greeting. Then they started to give each other hugs John was the first to get a hug from Kelly being slightly faster than the others. (Ok so listen I have some bad writers block and I want to get off of Pandora for the moment so ya the Spartans have there reunions then they go back to home tree.)

Home Tree

Once all the Spartans and Doctor Hasley got back to home tree in a rather comical way as there was not enough seats for all the Spartans to fit inside the Samson so red team had to hang onto the bottom of the Samson and chief and blue team along with doctor Hasley got the cargo compartment. Now they where going to talk to Jake and Kyle was thinking about something that he did not share with the others yet. They found Jake at the bottom of home tree talking with Mo'at they started to walk toward them but they where then rushed by four guards. But as chief ordered blue team earlier they did not pull out there weapons, but they did get ready try to dodge the arrows if need they needed to. Jake saw this and quickly told the guards not to kill them.

"Hello Jake we thank you for your help in finding our lost squad mates." Said Kyle to Jake

"You are welcome now I assume you will leave peacefully?"

"Yes we intend to leave peacefully but first I wish to propose something to your friend" Kyle said turning to Trudy "Do you want to leave with us we could use a new pilot since most of our crew is inexperience?" Trudy was speechless for a few seconds but once she got over the surprise she made her decision.

"Well I guess I can as long as it is alright with Jake." She said turning to look at Jake.

"it is your choice and as far as I can tell RDA is gone for good plus that way you can take off you exopac."

"well I guess I will…
