Chapter 3

I walked into the med bay and saw Palmer standing in regular fatigues beside another man, who was too tall not to be a Spartan. The man walked up and shook my hand.

''Hello Chief, I'm Colonel Mike Bowen, Noble leader.'' I resisted the urge to salute and shook his hand.

''Why did you call me up here?'' I directed the question to Palmer, but Bowen answered.

''You noticed the AI dock? Well, you're getting an AI of your own. Kitt, introduce yourself.'' Beside Bowen, a Hologram came to life. The AI took the form of a 15 year old girl, rather short.

''Hello James, I'm Kitt, good to meet you.'' She spoke in a calm and quiet tone.

''I've never seen an AI choose a form so young.'' Kitt laughed and smiled.

''Well, I tried to match your age, I could be older, or younger, if you'd be more comfortable.'' I shook my head and laughed.

''No, that'll be fine.'' Bowen put his hand on my shoulder and motioned me to sit.

''Now, we're going to give you a neural interface for Kitt. While she's plugged in, you'll be faster and stronger than any other Spartan 4.'' Mike nodded to the medic standing behind me, ''I'll be blunt, this is going to hurt, a lot.'' And it did.

When I woke up, they plugged in a chip and Kitt's voice filled my head.

''Hmm, so this is how it feels to have a body. It's kind of cool.'' I laughed at this and stood up. Mike entered the room again.

''Your armor is finished, go put it on and meet me at the Simulation Room, we're going to run some tests on you and Kitt.'' I stood up and walked back to the armory, acquainting myself with Kitt along the way.
