The orange glow of the teleportation field faded as 343 Guilty Spark
appeared in the engineering bay of the Pillar of Autumn. There were large
vents for the ship's four fusion engines and there were control panels on
the sides on of the room. Apparently, this place was protected from the
initial crash as there was not much damage to inside the engineering bay.
He hovered up to a nearby control panel. It was very primitive, but it would have to do. He entered the ship's computer system and quickly disabled the self-destruct sequence. His first priority, which was programmed into him long ago by the Forerunner was to prevent the destruction of Halo at all costs. To make sure this would never happen, he ordered 15 sentinels to guard the engine room. The Monitor, confident that the Master Chief would never destroy Halo now, began to collect human history to be stored.
In a few minutes, the Master Chief entered the engineering room. Almost immediately after him, the Flood began pouring in from all sides. The Monitor ordered the Sentinels to kill the Master Chief, but destroying the Flood was their initial programming, so they all left the Master Chief alone and attacked the Flood.
The next few events went by very fast. Master Chief was able to open all the vents with little or none interference, while 343's Sentinels continued to battle the Flood. One by one, the MC destroyed all the vent cores. After the last vent core exploded, red warning lights were flashing everywhere and the MC was gone, once again.
Amid all the warning claxons and fires, 343 guilty spark teleported himself to a distant part of Halo, trying to save himself. When he looked to the other side of the ring, the Pillar of Autumn exploded in a blinding flash of light, and he could see the shockwave from the explosion head at incredible speeds toward the other pieces.
Within 5 seconds, the piece he was on shattered, but he was still operational. He was floating in space, and wondering how he had survived such an explosion. What could he do? He was stranded, stranded in the vastness of outer space. In the corner of his vision, he saw a small Covenant dropship searching the remnants of Halo for survivors. It searched for a couple hours, then finally came near the Monitor. The dark purple dropship gleamed as it made one final search and was readying for departure when the small blue orb named the Monitor stealthily entered a vent hole in the ship.
He floated down the small, dark tube when he hit a maintenance hatch. With just a little ramming, he pushed the hatch open and found himself in a corridor. There was the sound of grunts squealing and the clatter of weapons being thrown around. Quietly, he flew down the corridor and at the end there was a locked red door which read in an alien language: Bridge.
He found a control panel nearby, which was the lock for the door. With his advance computer systems, he was able to find the code to open the door. When he tried the code, the door hissed open. Inside, there were two elites at some odd control panels. They were both commanders, as he could tell from their gold colored armor. The elites were rather surprised when he entered, and they frantically looked for their weapons.
One of them was able to find his plasma sword and waved it menacingly at 343 guilty spark. The robot merely rammed the elite and the elite toppled over on to the other one. The both fell down and the plasma sword went flying high into the air, and it hit both of them right in the chest, which killed both of them. The sword malfunctioned and clattered on to the coated floor.
Most of the grunts were asleep when this happened, but a few were awake with some jackals. The jackals and grunts heard what was going on and decided to investigate. They rushed on to the bridge and found the two dead elites and the Monitor. Some grunts saw this sight and immediately fainted due to their fear. Others began to run in circles, and still others began to fire their weapons randomly, hitting some jackals. In the middle of all this confusion, the blue orb called the monitor closed the door, crushing some of the fainted grunts and locking the rest of the Covenant out. There was considerable banging and yelling from the grunts outside the bridge as they struggled to open the door. Guilty Spark hit the button that would open the main doors of the dropship. There was a short scream from the grunts as they were pulled into space and then all was silent.
Guilty Spark investigated the odd Covenant control panels until he found a small port for computer systems and portable comm devices. He extended his built-in computer uplink device and entered the computer system. He set the coordinates of the ship to a small Covenant outpost and activated the ship's engine. Someday, some way, he would get his revenge on the cyborg called Master Chief, he thought as the dropship accelerated and disappeared into deep space.
