DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or halo characters
Lies of a legacy
(Helos VI on board the covenant ship hanger room September 30th, 2532. Military calendar)
After Paul got off coms with the spirit of fire, and letting them know that they have control of the ship with knowing that they have dealt with the covenant crew, seeing that there was only showing human life signs on board, and with the help from the Spartans they only lost five lives in total giving out orders stating that they be getting technicians and marines over to look around the ship, and ordering red team that cutter wants them too return to the spirit of fire for their reports.
As red team made their way to the hanger to wait for their pick up, as they making their way to each over ''naruto did you and serina find anything on the covenant database?'' question Jerome as naruto made his way over to red team ''not much like I hope on different subjects, and seeing that this ship was not the leading one. So it does not have the covenants plans on the larger scale, but I have find information on offer interesting subject.'' Answer naruto as they watch marines and technicians drop of from pelicans and heading in the ship to understand their technology and keeping it safe for them.
With red team deep in thought and what they been told by naruto, he himself was having a private chat with serina ''naruto why didn't you tell red team about the forerunner symbols that I find, or that I was the one to found the information. And thank you for telling them that.'' Serina said as naruto sighing to himself ''I know your mad at me not tell them that you find the information, but if they know it was you they will put it in their report, and then ONI will want you not just for how you able to hack the covenant database. But what information you have on me.'' Naruto stated to serina sighing herself ''you know that I would not tell anyone what you can do right, after all you gave me hope for a longer lifespan, and I will all ways help you specially what ONI done.'' Serina stated as naruto nodded in understanding.
''I know serina I just need to find who I can trust in both the UNCS and ONI. For now I need to buy time to what ONI need with my blood and bone narrow, but I have an Idea.'' Says naruto as the pelican they be riding back to the spirit of fire ''well it's not hard to think about what they want from you hmm'' serina stated as red team got on board the pelican as he hummed to himself ''so part from lack of information what could this do for the UNCS, you know getting a split lips ship'' asked Douglas as the rest of red team look at naruto for the answer ''well with this ship we can start to understand how they use their plasma for their weapons and shields, and what metals they use for their armour.'' Naruto started to say as serina cut throw ''and we and integrate their technology in our ships, and weaponry as well. Well if we have time that is.'' As Douglas nodded in understanding '' so how long do you think it take then?'' question Alice as naruto think to himself for a minute to work out the time frame ''integrating two types of technology will take time, we have to understand it first before we can put them together, taking the best and throw the crap out, so I say about three years if we rush it five in total if we want to keep the ship it self.'' Stated naruto working out the maths.
Seeing that they were close to the spirit of fire hanger and over hearing the pilots asking for clearing for docking and granting them ''ok red team captain Cutter wants us to meet him as soon as we can to report what happen and what we find got that.'' said Jerome and getting nodes from the rest of red team as they felt the claps lock on to the pelican as the back hatch open for them and the pilots ''let's go.'' Jerome says as they made their way to the elevator.
(Spirit of fire Bridge ten minutes later)
As the crew watch as the pelicans go and come from the covenant ship, and getting reports from over the ship, only to hear the boor opening and close as cutter turn to see red team standing in a stiff salute ''at ease Spartans. Report what happen team leader?'' ordered cutter as he take his seat with Jerome stepping forward to give what happen in the covenant ship, what they did, how they did it and after finishing and getting the rest from Alice and Jerome from their own side mission.
Turning to the last red team member ''report what you able to find Petty Officer.'' Ordered cutter looking at naruto ''sir what I was able to get from their database, is not much what I like to hope for if we had the flag ship then it should have more information on their battle plans, locations of their Military bases, and maybe their shipyards.'' Hearing a fly next to his head and as quick as a cat, he got the little thing in his right hand as the rest of the crew watch ''about bloody time someone got that fly.'' Stated cutter as they watch naruto wipe the died fly of his hands.
''any way sir what I was able to find is that the covenant database is that I find a space station that translate to high charity from its last NAV location, though what type of space station is any one guess. Part from that sir I will need more time to go deeper into their weaponry and database to give a better report sir.'' Finishing what he had to say as cutter nodded in understanding ''ok then red team get some rest, we got to wait for Lord Hood to arrive to us, with the space dock Cradle for the covenant ship, that be in seven days from nay so I suggest you write up your report Spartans before Lord Hood gets hair.'' Cutter said as he watch red team leave his bridge.
''sir do you think Lord Hood ask for naruto to return to Reach to help the technicians, or let him stay on red team and with us?'' question Hestia as her avatar come on cutters command chair.
Looking out of space and watching the repairs of the Jericho carriers with the help from the pillars ''I think what's BEST is for the UNSC is that naruto stays off the front lines, and improve our technology we cart lose him its best that we sacrifice one to safe millions.'' As cutter walk to the viewpoint with his hands clasp behind his back as Hestia nodding in understand ''what about hisHirashin as he calls it, from the life video feed we got from red team sir.'' Sighing to himself ''we have orders Hestia to record all of naruto's actions, to see if we can copy any of his skills.'' Stated cutter as Hestia got a understand look as she cut power to her avatar.
(Five minutes later with naruto's quarters)
Walking in to his quarters as he remove serina's data chip to put into his personal computer and activating his privet seals making shore no one can hear or watch him just in case, sealing his suit into his storage seal on his body and leaving him in his birthday suit, look around to find something to wear as serina's avatar come online ''well I was not suspect to see you like this naruto, hopefully I won't be the only woman to see you like it as well.'' Amuse serina with a smirk on her face as she watch naruto put on a baggy top and some shirts with it, giving a short laugh out ''we see wont we serina, so is any one listing on us?'' naruto ask as he power up hid datapad and connect it with his computer.
Giving serina a minute to upload the information from his datapad ''done were silent. No one be hearing us, so why did you not tell anyone that you can still use the Kage Bunshin no Justu, you were fully healed by the end of that month.'' Question serina with a rise eyebrow as naruto bring up the new forerunner symbols ''you know why I didn't tell anyone, I needed to find out who's on my side and find out who let that insurrectionist inside castle base, seeing that it a ONIs base that should of happen unless someone what'd it to.'' Stated naruto as he bring up different languages to help, to understand the forerunner language.
As serina sat on the table watching naruto work ''so did you find out if captain Cutter is on your side, or do we have to be more sneaky now.'' Says serina as she help him with the translating ''ha sneaky serina no with the memories that come from the fly Kage Bunshin no Justu, that was watching cutter and the crew I can trust him, but I'm not shore about Hestia I need to find out who she working for, before I can fully trust her, now let get off this topic.'' Stated naruto as he rub his eyes as serina close the windows of the forerunner and translating programs.
''so what's the plan now seeing that we got what we wanted to do, I improve my hacking subprograms, well not to the standard AI that was made to hack programs.'' Said serina as naruto started working on the covenant information they got from their ship, and bring up the blue print of their weapons ''the plan now is for you to hack Hestia and to find out who she working for, and to find out what Oni used my blood on, and for me to start working on Kitsune.'' Finishing saying what he wanted ''I try but don't keep you hops up I'm still new into hack and all that naruto, and Doctor Halsey wanted me to give you her reports on third-gen AIs improvements as well saying keeping a dairy for your thoughts.'' As she open the folder for naruto to look at.
With that said naruto got to work on AIs live span to see what was coursing their short live, with serina working on hacking into Hestia programing, with hour of reading Halsey report in looking into the covenant information, narrowing his eyes at the screen ''serina did you know that a AI matrix that both 'Smart' and 'dumb' accumulate knowledge, but smart AIs also grow in their ability to draw conclusions from an incomplete dataset. As smart AIs age they make more interconnections within their neural matrix, increasing their cognitive abilities and expediting their demise. With more dendritic growth, cross-connections in near-end-of-term AI strata; cancer growth.'' Sighing to himself and looking at her and seeing what she have to say.
With a frown on her face ''how come I didn't see that report?'' question serina looking at naruto as he continue to read the report ''she only wanted my eyes to see her work, hear listing to this. Cross-linkages continue with two possible outcomes: the sheer density of connections causes a cascade of irreversible quantum transfer, like a short circuit in rustic parlance. Eventually halting all functions or the AI takes extreme corrective action, eliminating connections via pre-emptive voltage overload. The latter often leads to aberrant personality manifestations, or rampancy. Death by intelligence.'' Finishing what he said as he rub his hands into his hair ''so I'm going to die by over thinking how fun ha'' sadly said serine as see watching naruto work on his computer ''you do know that I'm a lost course right naruto I'm too old for you, or anyone to find a way to save me in this time frame I got left.''
Shaking his head ''serina I could of saved you by using my seals, but then the UNSC or ONI would want to do the same, anyhow from Halsey ideas for the next gen, she devised new matrix strata with random-access optical couplers that can theoretically extend this lifespan, by exactly how much she don't know. A randomly coupled matrix also, in her simulations boots correlation effects such as accurate guessing. Inherent design limitations remain, the necessity of a human brain pattern to 'seed' the initial matrix. Initiation time is obviously wasted as the fledgling AI overcomes this rudimentary neural linkage and develops its own superior system. In simple terms it's not the creation of cross-linkages isn't the problem increased density of those links is what causes wave-function collapse, it just gets too tight serine.'' Stated naruto bring up the covenants plasma software.
''so you say that we don't have room to create pathways in our matrix then, so we just need to find a way around that easy to do.'' As she watch naruto bring up hologram of a AI data chip and showing the each single part of it, from the metal housing of the chip to the crystal of the AI matrix ''I got an idea that should give an AI the same lifespan of a human, if I get it to work that is from what I understand is UNSC use a no living human's brain, may be used as an AI matrix seed that it ultra-deep personality scans destroy, the organic substrate so creation the begin the AI and there were lies the problem.'' Bring up the scanners that they use for the seeding process ''I don't understand what you saying naruto or employing about the matrix seed?'' question serina as see looked at the data chip as naruto begin to working on a new software program.
''it's how they making the seeds that's they lose the brain at the end of the scanning, all they need is to electric-pulse scan of the brain to seed it with an empty AI matrix, but that only solves half the problem, the over half is the crystal itself.'' Naruto finished saying as he bring up serina's matrix, and taking away the housing leaving her data crystal showing the many cross-pathing in it, with serina looking sadly at her own work, trying to stop her downfall ''what I wont to do is make it safe for AIs to make as many cross-path they need, and the way I see it is to make the crystal in to a semi-liquid form, were it be easy to remove any wrong pathways or making then, and with the covenants plasma software and hardware I can start to work on this project.'' Naruto said as he continue to work on the software.
Giving herself a small smile ''so you saying simple that by using the covenant electric-pulses they use for their plasma weapons, to make your liquid crystal by running electric currents to make it solid, with this the AI can make its paths easily and don't have worry about crossing then, why has known one thought of this?'' question serina as she start to help naruto with the software, as he chuckle at serina comment ''it's because they follow the crowd and I like to think outside the box, and with this method an old gen AI can easily transfer their matrix to the new liquid-crystal. And with my sealing skills I can improve the subspace in the crystal, with a new dimension to make more space, and with it saving you serina seeing that you be the first to try this new crystal chip.'' Naruto said as he started to work on the making of the equipment that would make the new liquid-crystal.
As the two work on the new gen of AIs into the late night and making a blueprint of the equipment that would be needed for it, sighing at how tired he was and shutting down his computer and heading to bed ''night serina good work see you in the morning.'' With serina cutting power to her avatar ''night naruto and thank you.'' As naruto close his eyes to sleep.
(Spirit of fire mess hall October 1st 1200 hours, 2532. Military calendar)
As the crew of the spirit of fire had time for them self's, talking with friends and comrades about the war how is going for them or just playing card's with small groups, and some just enjoying for the food they got from Helos VI and thinking of family back home.
Walking towards the back of the mess hall, sitting on her own was Professor Ellen Anders with her work on the forerunners language, with a cup of coffee next to her ''Hi Anders long time know see how you doing?'' said naruto as he taken a seat across from her, as he slips a sealing tag under the table.
Looking up from her work to see naruto smiling and sighing to herself ''what you want Uzumaki cart you see that I'm busy, I don't have time to talk with you.'' Said Ellen as naruto holding his hart, and giving a pain look on his face ''you wound me Anders. And here I come with a gift for you, but if you don't want it that fine, I can work on it by myself.'' As naruto made his way to leave and saying quietly ''shame seeing that I got more forerunner symbols.'' As naruto about to turn only to stop by Ellen's hand on his arm, looking at her and seeing a widen eyes on her face ''you working on forerunner language, why have I not been inform about this.'' Guesting to the seat and nodding her head ''I been working on the forerunner language, when I got to Reach and I have translate a couple of the symbols, I can give you my notes on then and the new ones I find as well.'' Stated naruto and getting a questioning look from Ellen.
Looking in to naruto eyes to see if his telling the truth about giving her his notes ''ok then by why me and not Dr. Halsey she's must of been inform about this, and hard to say this, she is more intelligence then me.'' Finishing what she wonting to say and seeing naruto nod in understanding ''as right as you are about Catherine, I just don't trust her with the information I got on the forerunner language, but you I can trust this to, I do it myself but I got more importing thing to work on, and seeing that we got a covenant ship I be more likely to be shipping back to Reach with that ship.'' Stated naruto as Ellen gave naruto a small nod.
Fishing in to his pockets and to bring out a small data chip and put it on the table as he pushed it over to her ''that data chip has all my notes on my research on the forerunners, just keep me inform on what you found on it, that's all I ask from you.'' As naruto start to stand up to leave her and getting a nod from her as her answer, and never seeing naruto removing a seal tag under the table.
