Noble 6 POV

Mother of Invention medbay

We all jumped, startled from the voice that came from behind me. I swiftly stood up and turned around only to see nothing there, "Look down, agent." I turned my head to look to the left and right and saw that the others had calmed down. I looked down and saw it. My A.I.

He wore the standard freelancer armor, minus the helmet, his body seemed silver while the glow around him was red, "Ah, finally, you see me. I go by the identification Omicron, I am an A.I unit belonging to project freelancer, though I am quite sure that you already knew that."

I sighed, slightly embarrassed from my over-reaction to the A.I, "Sorry for being so jumpy. The surgery has done a bit of a number on me, plus it feels a bit strange to know that someone else is... y'know, in my head."

Omicron gave me a small smile, "That is understandable agent, we will both have to get used to each other however, so we must hope that this type of reaction will not be frequent in the future."

I wasn't quite sure how I felt about having an A.I yet. Yes, I'll be able to use armor enhancements and he'll make things easier in several different ways, but now I will have pretty much no time to myself.

No matter what happens I won't be alone. On the bright side I'll always have him on my side and have someone to talk to, on the downside hes a computer and he won't understand everything I would talk to him about.

Maybe I should talk to North and York about this...

I shook off my thoughts and decided to reply to Omicron, "Agreed." I picked up my helmet from the bedside table and put it on with a sigh, "So, what do we do next?"

York and North shrugged while Carolina answered, "We don't know. The leader of the insurrection is dead, along with most of the soldiers and the people he trusted. Our main objective was to bring down the insurrection and we did our job. So were gonna have to wait till we get new orders from the UNSC on what we should do."

I frowned, "So, all we can do, is wait, train, and have matches with each other? You all seriously had no other goal then to take down the insurrection, a group of rogue soldiers that didn't have equipment as good as yours or soldiers as good as yours?" I couldn't help it, I was less than impressed.

I mean come on! If anything the freelancers should have been more than capable of taking down the insurrection before I even got involved. And yet not only had they only gotten rid of thrm recently, the freelancers themselves had no other objectives besides training?

"Well we didn't exactly expect a spartan to come around and kill the leader of the insurrection and to bring C.T back to the project. You kind of finished part of our objective for us. Plus, now that I think about it, I could imagine, if some of the soldiers were completing missions elsewhere, several small groups could still be surviving in UNSC territory. So we may have to deal with them, but they aren't exactly a big threat, and as I said, that's if they weren't all killed off when we found you." Carolina soon left having no other reason to stay. I couldn't help but feel some disapointment when she left.

I frowned under my helmet, wondering why I've been feeling differently. Ever since I woke up, I've been feelings things I havent felt before and I've acted more with, emotion than I used to. It confused me, after the years of just being B-312, a spartan..

I sighed, I am a soldier without a mission. All I have to do around here includes, relaxing, training, maybe having a match with the other agents? Not much to do besides eat, sleep, train. Then again, I could take the time to talk to Connie, since we are apparently gonna have oh so much free time on our hands.

"Hey, you ok?" Connie shook my shoulder a little, "This is Earth to Alex, Earth to Alex, do you copy?"

I focused back on her, "Sorry, I'm fine. I was just thinking about a few things."

Connie gave me a look before nodding, "Alright, I'll go work on my knife work and hand to hand, what are you gonna be up to?"

That was when I suddenly thought of what I could do to pass the time...

Again, another short chapter. I am making them longer than the originals but its gotten to the point where I don't want to edit the chapters too much. I've been trying to make them a bit longer for you all, but it kinda hurts, it feels like I'm adding junk thats not needed. We have another 8 chapters before I make new chapters however, so soon you'll have something to look forward to!
