Six POV/ Alex
I sat in my chair with my elbows resting between my legs, my hands clasped. I was just staring at the floor, thinking of what to do next. If my plan worked, I knew what was going to happen while I was gone, but I knew that while I was gone I couldn't simply sit around and wait for something to happen.
Connie was in her chair, staring off into space as she thought. Omicron was quiet, silently taking care of all the prowlers systems.
I lifted my head up and looked to the console, "Omicron, can you do me a favor?"
His hologram popped up and he looked in my direction, "Yes, Six?"
"Think you could track down any remaining insurrection bases? We need to do something while we are away from the others, and kicking the insurrection while their down may be the best thing we can do right now, until we get a more definitive course of action."
"Smart thinking, I will begin searching the ships database to see if it has anything on the locations of insurrection facilities." His hologram disappeared as he went to work.
"He is one handy little guy to have around alright." I looked towards Connie who had a small smile on her face, "Guessing your going crazy sense we can't really do anything except wait for Texas to turn against the Director?"
I nodded, looking out into the dark expanse of space, "I'm a man of action, and while this is the best plan to go by I can't just sit still and wait for something to happen, gotta do something productive. And now that I'm finally at a hundred percent, I wanna see what the insurrection can do."
She just shook her head slightly before looking back out to space.
"Six, I have found several locations for various insurrection facilities, I will filter out the ones that have already been dealt with in the past." On a separate projector he put up a large list with dozens of bases, after a few seconds however most of them were cut out, leaving only three bases.
"The first base is on a planet called Harvest, it was fought over for a long time in the human- covenant war, with the war over the insurrection seemed to think it was safe to make a base there, even though the majority of the planet was glassed." I rolled my hand slightly for him to keep going, having heard a few things about Harvest and the ship that had led the fight there, the Spirit of Fire.
"The second base is on a planet in the outer colonies, one of the few that weren't glassed in the war. I have its coordinates but I can't find the name of the planet in the ship database." I nodded and waited for the name of the last planet.
"The final facility is on one of the inner colonies, one of the planets that was highly important to the UNSCs military power, second only to Earth at the time." I had a sinking feeling in my stomach, my skin slightly pale.
"The planet was glassed in the was, many spartans died on the planet trying to defend it, much UNSC weaponry was lost." To Six, it seemed like Omicron was purposefully trying to avoid saying the name of the planet.
"Omicron... what is the planet called?" I already knew. In the pit of my stomach I knew exactly what name he was gonna say. Where we would be going. It made me feel slightly sick.
"The planet has recently started to bounce back, many areas of the planet looking the way it did before it was glassed. Of course, the name of the planet..."
"...Was Reach."
