Remember this doesn't belong to me, this character actually belongs to microsoft, and 343! And your welcome for the update on the story!

Kuhe left the room quite, and with the air raging with mystery. She saw… Cal somehow, the only person to see her when dreaming was me. I had no clue how, but I didn't need to think, or worry about it before sleeping or I would be miserable for the rest of the day. I then got on the floor leaning to the wall and set down my gear to the side. I took off my helmet to then lean my head against the hard wall. I then felt myself drift away into the abyss of my dreams, or was it reality? I felt light and drifted out somewhere, there was no water around me, nor air. It felt mechanical and fake, yet it felt real. I then opened my eyes to a beach and cal was seen nowhere. I got up and looked around further to not see cal, I looked at the trees in the distance to see a small path. I followed the path to have strange blue lights light up around me. Once the trees began to clear up I found a forerunner complex with someone on it. I then continued my journey towards the building and followed a slanted stairway up. I made it to a platform where I found Cal looking out to the distance at all the trees and the ocean. "It's beautiful, but it's not real… I wish I was still alive to see this for real. Brien did Kuhe give you the message," She said asking questionably.

"About me becoming a spartan?"

"Yes… I know how you feel Brien, but please just this once do it for me…"

I stood there looking at her for what seemed to be a good long hour and opened my mouth with, "You can't be real, your just a figment of my imagination! I don't know why I would want to be a spartan but obviously my head wants me too!" I then felt myself spiral out of control and awoke with my head sweaty. I then got up to see where Kuhe is and figure out if she really saw Cal. I made my way out of the room to find someone coming to my room with a tablet in his hand. "Sir, Kuhe is done with her training video, she now needs you to escort her and the spartans for the face to face training."

"Alright thank you marine, and can you help lead me to her," We then made our way to the spartans and kuhe in a hanger getting in some warthogs packed with boxes of equipment. I then made my way to them to be approached by Kuhe, "Get in the vehicle with me your driving, and we'll be in the middle of the other vehicles." I then did as she said and got the warthog ready to go. A marine waved to me yelling to follow him over the roaring engines of the warthogs. I then drove behind him to be followed by the other spartans. It took a good hour till we hit our destination, as we followed the marines to the destination we saw beautiful lush forest and mountains higher than anything before seen in my life. We made our way up a mountain and found a clear secluded jungle spot. Near it was a waterfall and a path near it, maybe it would be where I would be hiding.

We came to a stop and unloaded all the boxes, I then went out to get ready with my sniper rifle with extra ammo on the side. Once I made it to the platform near the waterfall I then got up a little higher to make sure it didn't look obvious where I was. I then made sure I was covered in the leaves and have sticks near the barrel of my rifle. I then smart linked the rifle to my helmet so I didn't have to aim down the scope. I looked around the training ground to make sure no one would get harmed by intruders. This gave me time to think about the dream, at which I could freely do at this time.

It felt real and full of life compared to the others, it was as if it was a real place to be. And Cal she looked beautiful, she has never looked like the way she has before. To know I had wet dreams about her after she died though creeps me, I didn't know I still had these thoughts still. I thought to myself for a moment, Shut up you idiot! Why am I thinking about this when I should be doing my job! I felt stupid just to give myself a lecture and got out of my smart scope to then watch from a distance with my eyes. I looked around for the other marines who were also trying to hide but did it poorly. I guess they didn't have as much experience as me, especially since they look younger than some of the spartans. The spartans even look close to my age, speaking of which I haven't looked at how old I am since I woke up from sleep staciss. I looked at the calendar on my wrist computer said it was 2560, I was born on 2500, making me 59. I didn't look 59 at all due to cryogenic sleep but I did look like I was in my 30's if i'm correct. Sheesh, I guess mom and dad are gone now. I guess at some point I need to settle down and get to the farm and do something with it.

They trained for 4 hours and 30 minutes and ate lunch for 30 minutes. They practiced covenant based plasma weapons and handy uses for each weapon, and the funniest part was seeing them training with energy swords. They seemed to not know how to use it very well since they kept on falling around when they sparred with Kuhe, the marines laughed at this which really gave away their position but for me I didn't laugh, I just smirked at there clumsiness. Once they finished the training everyone began to pack up and I made my way down to everyone else. We were ready to go and everyone began to get on the vehicles, but before I could leave I finally asked Kuhe, "Did you really see her, Cal? Kuhe I really need to know if this is true so I can find her!"

Kuhe looked at me for a good minute to finally give out a sigh and say,"She is truly alive O'Brien, and she is yearning to see you again. She wants to be able to explore the world with you, because you were the only one who she could reach out to… And she found someone who she could explore different things with. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why she isn't dead, become a spartan O'Brien and you just might be able to find her on your own, quickly, and easily."

"So she really is alive….. How can that be possible…. I don't understand."

"We should get back to the base now before it gets dark, I understand this is shocking for you to find out. We should figure this out once we have made it back," Kuhe said feeling sad for me. We then loaded onto the warthog and began departure back to the base. Kuhe and the spartans and I all walked our way back to our rooms for the night. After walking for about 14 minutes back Kuhe and I made it back to her room to finally get down to solving what has been going on with Cal, and me. Kuhe asked me, "When do you plan on becoming a spartan?"

"I remember Victoria saying something about becoming a spartan at this facility, but i'm not sure. I'm going to have to ask her about it, and I have to find her somehow! Something about this world makes me feel closer to Cal for some reason. If there is one thing that all these worlds we've visited recently in the couple of years have in common, are the forerunner presence."

"That may just be how she's doing it, even if it sounds crazy, what else do you think is relatable to the other planets?"

"Uuh, covenant presence, unsc, and of course some jungles, and animals. That's all I can say is relatable. I'd say the unsc has nothing to do with it at least."

"Right, neither the covenant who don't use A.I. or have ever have tried reviving the dead."

I then looked at her in the eyes to say, "So it is Forerunner technology that is doing this, just like the Master Chief and Cortana. Except reviving someone who has been dead seems a little too advance for them…"

"They are the Forerunners, they are mysterious as they were powerful before there downfall."

"Alright, looks like I have somethings to do while your asleep. I'll also get some marines to watch over you while your sleeping."

"Hmmm, this sounds like a good plan O'Brien, i'll go ahead and eat and head to bed soon while you do your thing, I guess this is good night…."

"Yeah good night," I then walked out to go find Victoria and a commanding officer to give Kuhe some protection.
