Sniper walked down the long corridor that led to the vanguard. Waffle told her to speak to Cayde the hunter vanguard. She passed a large looking titan who she would later find out was lord Shaxx, he look for guardians with promise and wants them to fight each other to prove there the best.

Sniper entered a large room with many humans and awoken all working around to help the vanguard with their duties. But what drew her curiosity was the large war table there stood three of the vanguard representatives, there was Commander Zavala a titan awoken whose sheer presents sent chills down the wires that made her spine. Ikora ray the warlock handler her calculating eyes studying her every move and trying to read the new face. Then there was the hunter handler, cayde-6 who she had come to see about her duties in the tower and for a pair of pants.

She walked to the table and tapped cayde on the shoulder, he turned to her looking at the new hunter before him. Sniper cleared her throat and began to speak.

"I hear you're the one to see about being a hunter and for a pair of pants." She stated flatly.

Cayde just nodded.

"so you came to the tower dressed like that, with a shirt boots and a thong?"Stated cayde.

"Well my pants kind of got ripped off me when I climbed out of the hole I got slammed into."

"What hole?" Cayde asked.

"The one a captain punched me through. And I took his gun" She replied. Revealing the shrapnel launcher and put it on the table.

This took the vanguard by surprise, the other two said nothing, cayde was in thought, then he smiled and said.

"Welcome sister to the hunters let me get you your basic gear and show you around."

The two walked out of the vanguard war room the two being very loud and laughing at what each other were saying.

-Some time later-

Sniper walked out of the vanguard war room with her arms full of her newly received gear. She got a knife and a full set of armor and a new cloak, she got to keep her new gun she claimed from the fallen captain despite the other vanguard reps protest she just gave them the finger and asked cayde if she could keep it, to the other vanguard reps surprise he said yes.

She looked around trying to find waffle she searched for a bit and found and found the exo, he was seated by a few others, an awoken titan who was enjoying her meal. The other was an exo hunter. She called over to waffle getting his attention. She walked over to the table pulled out two eats and set her stuff in one and sat in the other.

"Nice to see you sniper these are my friends, the awoken is Diana she's one of my closes friends. She waved as she sipped her drink. And that man there is bronco another one of my friends and a great marksman."

Bronco stood up and offered his hand, sniper stood and shook it. That was when everyone at the table realized that sniper still wasn't wearing pants.

"Sniper" Diana asked. "Why aren't you wearing any pants?"

"cuz I haven't put them on yet." She stated flatly.

*sigh* "Goddamit sniper put some fucking pants on!" said waffle almost yelling.

Sniper sighed. Very annoyed that she was being told what to do. She looked through her new stuff and found her pants, she set them on the table and started unlacing her boots and slipped them off. She then stood and slid both legs through. She pulled them to her waist and bucked them and then slid her fingers toward her thong straps and pulled them above her pants waist line. She then grabbed her knife and cut the straps and then pulled out her thong and threw it in the trash; she then did the same with her bra. She then sat back down and slung her cloak around her neck.

The three sat dumbfounded. Diana just looked at her new friend just shocked. Sniper didn't care what they thought though she just picked up a menu and ordered something that looked good. She put down her menu and noticed the three staring at her with blank and shocked stairs.

"What is there something on my face?"

"What the fuck was that!" all three shouted at her.

"What I didn't like them so I threw them in the trash I don't believe anyone would want them."

"No" said Diana, "why did you just do that in public look at how many people saw you do that."

Sniper looked around and saw that everybody was doing just that. She frowned and stuck both fingers at them all.

"GO FUCK YOUR SELVES!" She shouted. turning back to her new friends. "There better?"

The three just gave up and acted like nothing happened. Waffle then began talking.

"So sniper have you found a place to stay?" asked waffle.

"Actually I don't have any place to go I was thinking about going back to my ship to sleep." Sniper replied.

That's when Diana spoke. "Well if you don't have a place your welcome to stay with me until you find a place. You would be sharing with me and my boyfriend."

"is that all right with you?" sniper asked. " I don't want to intrude."

"You're a friend of waffle so you're also my friend, come on I take you there now."

With that the two got up and found the elevator to descend the tower. The two were waiting int the elevator until they got onto the 578th floor. The doors opened to a long hallway full of doors with numbers on it. They walked down the long hallway till they came to the door number of 531, Diana opened the door and the two stepped into the apartment. It was fairly simple had a couch a TV and a kitchen and dining room mix, and one other bedroom and the bathroom.

"Down there to the left is the bathroom, I'm not sure if exos will rust if you soak in water but you're welcome to try."

"A few rules though, one your welcome to any food in the fridge and you can watch tv all you like but in a few months ill start asking for rent."

"to be expected you are housing three people." Sniper said.

"if you see a sock on my room that means leave us alone."

Sniper snickered a bit at that. Failing to keep herself from laughing.

"And the last rule is if you're here at least leave a pair of panties and a bra on when you're here."

She sighed with a smile. "Fine I will."

A few hours later night fall came, with that she was given a blanket and a pillow and she laid them down and sat on the couch. She was exhausted but slightly excited as well. She made so many friends, and she was happy as well. She stripped down to her underwear and sat on the edge of the whispered to her ghost.

"Hey Nova you there you've been quite lately."

Her ghost materialized in front of her. "Yes I've just been thinking about all that has happened today and yesterday."

Sniper laid down and pulled the covers over her. "what about."

"I've been thinking about my own name and I think I like Nova, and theres been one thing that I've wanted to ask you guar-I mean sniper."

"Yeah what is it Nova?"

"What does the number 99 mean?"

"I'm not sure Nova. Now let's get some sleep we have a big day we need to find a warp drive."

The two closed their eyes. Nova muttered as he slept. Sniper closed her eyes and tried her best to fall and dream. But she just couldn't figuring she had to use the bathroom, so she went to the bathroom. She sat on the toilet and glanced to her right arm and saw the many tallies that made up most of her arm to the point that the paint was worn off, leaving slight scratches in her metal skin. She counted this up till she came up to a number.

99 what the fuck does it mean.
