Chapter 3-Fireteam
Cassie's POV, 6:26 P.M. One week after her first training..
I sit at the bar with Johnny laughing over some joke our friend Tod made. It was nice being able to meet Tod and Johnny from training and I'm happy I was able to make some friends in this world. While we chatted away our ghosts were talking and becoming friends too. I ask the bartender for another round and he slides it down the bar to me. Johnny and Tod were talking to my right as I sipped down the smooth alcohol. "What a great night so far" I mutter to myself. I hear the door creek as someone enters the bar. I keep sipping my drink as they sit down next to me on the left.
"Glad I found you Cassie. I hope you don't drink much because you are going on a mission tomorrow" He says. I look up at him and it was Zavala.
"Am I going with Johnny and Tod?" I ask him. He shakes his head and smiles.
"If you don't mind id like to show you your team" He replies. I nod curiously and we leave the bar. I waved goodbye to Tod and Johnny as I left and they said their goodbyes and goodlucks. Zavala leads me to the tower, somewhere I haven't been yet.
"Are we going up their?" I ask. He nods and calls his ship. We phase inside and fly up to the tower. It looks beautiful from up in the sky. Zavala lands us in the docking bay and we get out. He leads me over to a blonde hair lady who seemed to have been working on ships all day because of the oil on her. She was writing on a clipboard when Zavala walked up to her. She looked up and smiled.
"Hey what's up big guy. And who's your friend here?" She asks.
"This Is Cassie. She is one of my recruit Titans and she is here for her first mission" Zavala explains.
"Ah a newbie. You have a ship yet?" She asks me.
"No ma'am" I reply. She laughs a little.
"You don't need to be formal with me okay? Just relax. Before you leave for your mission stop by. I can hook you up with a ship. Also my name is Amanda" she says. I nod excitedly and say my thank you. Zavala Leeds me out of the ship dock and into a more open area. This open area held 4 medium size towers, a merchant, a gunsmith, and a small store that sells paint for weapons. It looked like a central hub for the Tower and right in the middle was a staircase leading down. Zavala motions for me to follow him down into the place below and I nod. as we walk down the stair case it splits into two small ones on the left and right. We go down the right staircase and to our left between the staircases stood a woman.
"Welcome back Zavala" She says.
"Hello Eris..what is it looking like on the Moon?" Zavala asks her.
"Hive activity deep below the Moons crust" She replies.
"Huh...what's new" Zavala mutters. We continue down and see the room channels into a hallway. To the left was a robot behind a desk working on a computer. To the right a man, tall and strong in white and orange armor. His helmet had horns on it even though one was partially destroyed.
"Zavala my friend! How are you?" He booms.
"I'm doing just fine Shaxx. How are the guardians looking in the Crucible?" Zavala asks him.
"Well since warlocks have gotten Stormtrance their rank has gone up in the Crucible. Titans are lacking a little but can recover. Hunters are in the middle of both. To shorten it up, Everyone is doing good!" Shaxx cheers.
"Good. We will have to sign up my newest Titan here for some Crucible" Zavala says.
"Of course! Whenever you think they are ready just send them on over to me" Shaxx replies. We nod and keep walking. We enter the main room at the end of the hall and see a mini staircase that leads to a huge table with a map on it. People to the left and right of the room were working with boxes and supplies. Standing around the table was Cayde and Ikora. They were both talking to some other guardians that looked quite different compared to me. Me and Zavala proceed down the staircase to meet everyone.
"Alright Cassie, meet your knew fireteam. The Hunter is Joe and this Warlock is Cody. You will need to learn to bond with them" Zavala informs me.
"You Shitting me right? A girl Titan on my team? Ugh" Cody sighs.
"Hey! Watch it young blood. Women are just as powerful as men, no matter the class" Ikora shouts at him.
"Hey, I'm Joe" the hunter says. He puts his hand out and I shake it.
"I'm Cassie" I reply. Cayde smiles at us.
"Looks like my newbie is more mature than Ikoras right Zavala?" Cayde laughs.
"Stop this predicament. You three are a fireteam and you must work together that's the end of it" Zavala bluntly states. Cody sighs and I shrug it off.
"So what's the mission?" I ask Zavala.
"We have a disturbance somewhere in the Cosmodrome. I'm picking up readings of Fallen activity. They must be doing some sort of ritual. We are sending you three in to handle the situation" Zavala answers.
"Fallen huh? Better than those gross ass Hive" Cody states.
"What are Fallen?" I ask.
"Oh god...has she never been on a mission?" Cody complains.
"The Fallen are a race of aliens who came here to take over our planet. Needless to say they are like space pirates that go around stealing and taking things" Joe explains.
"So when are we leaving?" Cody asks.
"6 A.M. so I suggest you get some sleep. We will stay connected through ghost transitions" Zavala states. We all nod and leave the room. I head back towards the ship dock and meet with the blonde haired woman Amanda.
"Hey there lovely. Need that ship huh?" She asks.
"Yes please" I leads me to the back of the hanger and shows me a basic ship that had a pointed rip and had big wings. It was a standard gray as well.
"Alright well you can take this one. She is newer than most so don't get her dirty. I assume you don't have a Sparrow either right?" I nod and she leads me into another part of the hangar that was hidden from most of the building. Inside is what looked like different hover bike vehicles.
"What are these again?" I ask.
"They are called Sparrows. You can ride them when you are in an area where your ghost can teleport it. You can have this one" she explains. She points to a gray colored Sparrow and nods."Let your ghost add it to his transmat list. It will be linked to him" She says. I put my palm out and see a white glow come out of my hand.
"On it!" Ghost exclaims as he shoots out of my armor. He scans the Sparrow and my helmet pops up an icon saying "Sparrow Linked" .
"Alright go do the same to the ship and head on home okay? You got a big day tomorrow" she laughs. I agree with here and head home.
Here you all go! Sorry it took forever to release this. I had it on the back burner and still kind of will but I will try to give you updates whenever I can okay? Okay. So until next time everyone, BUH BYE!
