Onboard: U.A Beyond Ultra
Itsuka sat back in her cot wearing fresh clean clothes as her pencil glided across on the notebook she held infront of her. She had a talent for drawing but she just never made the effort to do so due to the stresses that comes along with being a UA student. Especially in the hero course.
In her middle school years she drew a lot experimenting different methods of holding the pencil in an attempt to train her quirk in a different way rather then just growing them large then shrinking them back to normal size. She had no idea if her idea worked but it was worth a try.
"What ya drawing?" Asked a pink skinned and hair coloured girl wrapped in a towel entering the shared quarters.
Itsuka glanced around her drawing of the mysterious green haired solider and closed it before a blush could have a chance to form. "Just doodling. How you feeling since waking up from cryo?"
The pink girl groaned as she pull clothes out of her duffle bag "My stomach still feels crammy even after trying Ochakos pills. Honestly if this is how her quirk makes her feel then I don't have any idea of how she can stand it. Why do we have to go into cryo anyways!" She huffed as she got dressed.
Itsuka glanced her way "well Mina do you want the short version or a long version only Iida or Momo can explain."
"Just give me your version and dumb it down for me. Like you were explaining it to Kaminari or something." Replied Mina as she dried her hair with the towel.
Itsuka sat up "Because even though we travel through slip space which has made traveling to the colonies a breeze. There's still great distances between planets. Going into cryogenic sleep helps with making the trips seem shorter and you know don't have age a great deal before we get there. Or would you rather keep doing studies until we arrived?"
Mina thought about it for a moment "hmmm I guess two months of being frozen is better then two months of studying."
"Exactly. Besides we should be arriving by this afternoon." Spoke Itsuka
"Well I'm hungry. You gonna come?" Asked the pink haired girl.
"Sure. Whatever's in the cafeteria has gotta be better then the freeze dry stuff they left in the kitchen for us." Replied the battle fist heroine in training.
"Great. I'll text the others to join us." Mina pulled out her phone and began texting to the other 1A girls who were also on the vessel. Normally she'd send a message to the classes group chat. But only some of the class was actually on this trip. The others had remained at their homes to rest before the begin of the next semester.
"Fists and I are going to get a meal. By Order of myself the royal highness Alien Queen demand you all to join." Texted to the girls individually.

Location: I-Moon
Shared U.N.S.C & Civilian Research Facility
I-Moon is a technological marvel for modern humanity. It was originally built as weapons research facility upon a moon that floated safely amongst an asteroid belt that was in the orbit of planet Chi Ceti 4.
Over time with the rising population of people with quirks. The facility eventually shifted towards quirk research which then lead to development of support items. As the career of professional heroes grew. The strength of military influence in the facility disappeared to only a handful of research and development labs which have managed to keep their secrets locked from the rest of the General population that call the moon home.
The reason such a facility was built on this moon is due to how well it is hidden amongst the astroid belt and the astroids themselves act as natural defence. However this doesn't mean the facility isn't armed.
Being a military installation it's only natural that it is armed. Especially with rise of insurrectionists and villains amongst the colonies. It's only when the moon and astroids orbit around Chi Ceti 4 slows down does I-Moon allow civilians to attend the I-Moon expo month when it is safest for non military trained pilots to dock at the moons hanger/airport.
The rest of the year it's only the moons residents of scientists and High ranking military personnel how know the exact location of the moon amongst millions of kilometres wide asteroid field.
On the moon itself you wouldn't think you were standing on rock but instead standing on Earth or Harmony or even Reach. The technology makes the surface an artificial planet with holograms. A large shell surrounds the moon in order to give the circular rock the same gravitation as earth and supplying oxygen as well as sunlight and water for trees that have been planted to make the place feel more homey.
One of the scientists that call the moon home was once a side kick of the pro hero All Might. Doctor David Shield. The man had a passion for creating support items that would help heroes keep the peace across the earthen colonies.
But now he was currently working on a different project for a different kind of hero. He was currently adjusting some wiring on a pulled apart helmet that rested on his work bench.
"Still a workaholic I see."
David looked up from the helmet to look at the unexpected guest. "Dr Halsey?"
Halsey rolled her eyes as she approached the man "No need to be so formal. It is just us here after all David."
"Of course. It's good to see you Catherine." Spoke David as he placed down his tools and greeted the woman with a hug. "It's been a while."
"Indeed. So you're the man working on my Armour." Spoke Halsey as she stepped back from the hug and inspected one of the nearby armour sets.
David tilted his head "Your Armour?"
"Yes. Project Mjolnir was my idea. I asked O.N.I to turn to you for is manufacturing. It seems they took my advice." She picked up a completed helmet and ran her thumb along it.
"Should've suspected you'd have something to do with it Catherine." Chuckles David.
"When will they be ready?" She asked setting the helmet.
David crosses his arms leaning against his work table "Just a few bugs to kink out but I should have them ready by the end of the week."
"I have a team trained to wear Mjolnir. They'll arrive here in two days. The armour needs to be ready by then." Said Halsey bluntly.
David stared at her in disbelief before shaking his head. "No no Catherine you know I can't rush something like this. If you want this to work right then give me the week. I just need that little more time."
"We don't have that kind of time Dave..." she said softly.
David looked at her carefully and sensed the tension coming from her. "Catherine... what's going on?"
"I can't tell you. At least not yet. But we need Mjolnir ready." She said in a serious tone he hadn't heard since they studied together when they were younger.
"Okay... but if you want it done in two days you better be here helping me."
Halsey smiles softly and nodded in agreement and joined his side looking down at the pulled apart helmet and began working on it "So how's Melissa?"
"Studying hard. Honestly it's hard to see her sometimes between work and her schooling." Replied David as he began working on the wires.
"Well I am my fathers daughter." Spoke a young blonde girl from behind them.
David looked over his shoulder in surprise "Melissa? I thought you were studying today?"
"I was but I wanted to stop by and give you a surprise." Answered Melissa innocently.
David tilted his head in confusion "A surprise?"
"I AM HERE FOR A WARM HEART FELT REUNION!!" Roared All Might as he busted through the door.
Halsey's eyes widened at the sight of the Number one hero. David gasped in shock "A-All Might?"
"Ha Ha Ha! Your darling daughter organised this for us Ah haha ha!" Laughed All Might as he hugged David tightly but carefully.
"It's good to see you again my friend." Smiled All Might warmly at his old friend.
David smiled back and wiped his eyes "I...I don't know what to say." He then noticed Halsey still standing to his side. "Oh where are my manners. Melissa, All Might. This is an old college friend Dr Catherine Halsey."
"Pleasure to meet you Doctor." Spoke All Might holding out his hand. Halsey took it and shook softly. "Pleasure is Mine. Not every day you get to meet the symbol of peace."
"Well then I'll leave you all to catch up. I'll see you at the dinner party tonight" spoke Melissa with a wave as she exited the lab.
"Dinner party?" Asked Halsey curiousily
"To celebrate the opening of the expo. You should come." Explained David.
"Oh no no. I can't. Honestly I'd rather continue work here David." Said Halsey casually.
David managed to take the hint. But at the same time noticed All Might cough. "I understand Catherine. If you don't mind I got a lot of catching up to do with All Might. I'll come back and assist you the moment I'm free okay?"
"Don't rush." She replied and returned to working on the helmet.
David then took the opportunity to escort All Might out of the lab into his private office. The moment the door closed the pro hero deflated and coughed weakly as he returned to his true form. "Thanks for catching on. I don't know how much longer I could've held that form.
"I knew it was bad from your email but didn't think it was this bad Toshi."

Onboard: Clarity Of Faith
Thon 'Talamee stepped onto the bridge of the covenant assualt carrier. He glanced around the room in annoyance and glared at those around the control panels piloting the vessel.
Most of them were Sangheili like himself but there was also the Unggoy that assisted in anyway they can. One of them just happened to accidentally bump into him and let out a fearful yelp. "Ah! Ship master! Scary!"
With a growl Thon kicked the Unggoy across the bridge gaining the attention of all who were in the room automatically looking at the golden shine of the ship masters armour. "What's the reason I've been called into here!"
"Shipmaster. We have intercepted a human transmission we think you should see." Spoke a sangheili in orange armour.
He brought up a text message that was written in the humans language but after a few moments it was translated to the holy covenant language. Thon glanced at it and read it out loud.
"Fists and I are going to get a meal. By Order of myself the royal highness Alien Queen demand you all to join."
He reread the message again and chuckles lowly as his mandibles clicked together. "So the humans have a queen. Can you track the location of their ship?"
"Yes. We already have. It seems to be heading for an asteroid belt" explained Another Sangheili in blue armour.
"Excellent. Inform the Prophets of this discovery and plot a course for that ship. If we can capture their queen. Then the humans extinction is with in our grasp along with bringing us closer to The Great Journey!" Declared Thon proudly.
(AN: yeah instead of Villains breaking into I-Island I'm having the Covenant break onto I-Moon to find a certain Pink friend.
Anyways. PLUS ULTRA)
