Hesitate

Shar moved across the base, wondering what modification had been made to her suit. She'd been told that some part had been send to her from her new team but she didn't know what. She didn't even know if she trusted it. She had no real reason to trust anyone on this new team, so some part being replaced by one of them left her unnerved.

She wasn't sure how happy she was to have a team at all. She hadn't bothered to really look in on their files. Who they were didn't matter much, as long as they didn't hold her back or keep her from completing her mission. Though, if their leaders were a higher rank than her, she supposed they couldn't be completely useless. Then again she'd known Generals that were awful in ground combat. She still had yet to meet a Spartan that was bad in ground combat, and these were Spartans.

Shar stopped as she spotted two figures across the field of the base. She recognized the two Spartans, even in armor. There was a grace to one of them and the other stood with an air of authority that could only be one Spartan. It had to be Kelly and John. She thought of going over to them, talking to them, but she hesitated. She remembered that Kelly had stopped writing her. If she wasn't willing to write, then how could Shar believe that she'd be all right with her just walking up and talking to them?

The two Spartans moved across the field, and a moment later were joined by a third. Shar frowned as she looked at the three of them. She remembered the three Spartans standing around her when she was a child and the three of them seemed to fit it. In height the new Spartan was the right size compared to John. She couldn't be sure, as she had never learned the third Spartan's name that day. Shar chased away those thoughts. It didn't mean anything that they looked like them. She knew that John and Kelly were the Spartans who had saved her that day. She didn't know about the third, but it didn't matter in the long run.

Shar watched the three of them move away and eventually out of sight. She thought of going after them, but decided against it. She didn't want to try to talk to them just to be rejected. It was going to be hard enough to deal with having a new team. She didn't need to also be dealing with realizing that the one friend she thought she had wasn't her friend any more.

Shar turned her attention away from the Spartan IIs. She needed to stay focused. She only had one more day before she was being moved to meet up with her new team. Hopefully they would have a bit of time to get to know each other before they'd be sent out. She was used to working with soldiers one time on one mission, but if she was going to be with these people for a while, she'd want to get to know them first. Maybe she should read over their files. Shar changed directions, heading back toward her personal quarters. She'd hack into the system and learn what she could about these soldiers.
