"How long do you think we'll be stuck here?" Max asked as she poked at the fire wih a stick.

"Dont know... if theres a un-damaged Pelican, or maybe a Prowler, We could maybe make it to Mars." I answered.

After Deventious had shown us the craft, he had flown off. We have been stuck here three days, slowly exploring the land ahead of us. I gess Deventious had some control over the weather, because it haden't rained since we had goten here.

I took a bite out of a thick slice of bread, then turned as I heard some trees rusle.

"Who's there?" I asked as I pulled the MA5K up to my sholder.

"Please refure from aiming your weapons at me." Deventious said as he floated out of the trees.

"You again!" Max shouted.

"Yes, I am sorry for the confuson. I thought that you were following me, but alast, it would seem you dont have the abilitys of my Masters."

The sphere shook it self, as if it was shaking its head.

"Masters? What are you talking about?" I asked

"The Forrunners... shurely you know of them?" Deve said

"...No?" I said, rasing an eyebrow

The sphere went crazy.

It was flying around at about 20 miles per hour, shaking its "Head", and mumbling about "Little Knowledge", and "Close Minded"

"Whats his problem?" Max whispered over my sholder.

I just shook my head, asking myself what I did to desirve this.

Finally, Deve stoped, then looked at us.

"I gess I will have to transport you." He said with a sigh, then a orange bubble surounded us.

"What the heck!" Max half-asked, half-shouted as she pulled out her M6.

Her hand froze, and i could see it was not her own will that froze it.

"That will not be acepted, Madam."

I looked at Deve, and almost screamed.

His eye was glowing a sickly red, and his voice was edged with a Do-It-Or-Die tone.

Max let go of the M6, and it just flouted there, which made me decied that this was a stasis feild.

Deve's eye went back to its dark blue, and his voice regained its niceness.

"Thank you, now we will be on our way!" He said, and started flying away, only the bubble trailed after him.

I looked down, and wached as forest turned to desert, and desert turn to ocean.

After a while of flying over the ocean, I saw a giant ...building?

I couldn't realy tell, but i knew it as some sort of bulding, the only question was what type of building?

"Welcome to My home, or as my Masters called it, The Library!" the little machine was like a kid on Christmas. For a moment I thought he was going to blow up with excitement!

"Augh!" I shouted as I fell about five feet to the surface of the building. Max gave a small yelp of surprise, too.

"Come on, Get up! There is absolutely no time to waste!" Deve said as he sailed into the openining that I gessed was a entrance.

"I think somones had too much oil." Max said as she got up, rubbing her back

I just nodded my head in agrement, then we both walked into the opening.

I looked around, and suddenly felt super safe in the building.

Max did not feel the same.

"I-I Dont like this place...com'on, lets go back."

"Go back to where?" I asked.

Max stutered, trying to think of somthing she could argue with, then she just shook her head.

"I gess your right." She said sadly, Then she walked in.

I slung the assult rifle over my back, Then followed her.


When we entered, Deve was waiting.

"Please hold still while you are scaned, dont want you bringing in an infection now, do we?

A shimering wave pased over Max, and she glowed blue.

"100% Human. Not a trace of infection!" The little sphere sounded rather glee full.

The wave passed over me.

I glowed orange.

Deve was silent for a moment, seeming confused.

"No infection, but...No...its not posible!"

The wave passed over me again, and I glowed orange again.

"Its not an error..."

The sphere flew right in front of me, its eye looking into mine, then it flew back.

"What is it?" I yelled.

The sphere looked at me.

"You." It said "Are a Forruner."
