A/N: Well, I am back and with a new chapter. While i know i have been slacking with updates, but i hope to change that. As i will not be focusing more on his fic from now on , since it would be easier for me to write chapters and upload them more regularly.

As for the other fic i was writting... its dead and burried. I read it over and honestly, i didnt like how it came out so it is gone. i might revisit it one day, but not anytime soon.

Anyway, this chapter will be a bit of a diverion as i am introducing a group of characters i rarely see in (Good) Sailor Moon fics. Though i must point out i have taken certain Libraties with them. So you have been warned. This is also gonna be a short chapter.

One More Thing!!! Please leave a review and tell me what you think. The input really helps

Now on to the Story...

/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \

Despite being just a emergency auxilluary program, "Hanna" was as capable as any other "Smart A.I." which were usually assigned to U.N.S.C. vessels. And in some ways... even better.

Unlike most A.I.s Hanna had complete control over the Valiant-class' systems, practically operating the entire vessel on her own. Now his was part of her original programing, as Emergency A.I.s were more or less expected to take control of an entire vessel if there was no crew present. Much like their current situation, as most of the Siege Merciless' crew had abandoned Ship prior to its arrival near "Earth".

With the Siege Merciless now in low orbit and using the natural magnetic field of the planet's north pole to hide itself, Hanna decided now would be a good time to give the old warship a proper going over. There were still a number of systems which were non operational and Logan had instructed her to get as many of them (Most notibly, long range sensors and weapons) back on line. Sure the point defense grid and life support were operational and in good working order, but the main M.A.C. gun was still off line and inoperable. While the Archer missile Pods were practically useless without long range sensors feeding them targeting information. While still far from being defenseless, The Siege Merciless was still very much a sitting target for anyone who wanted to attack it. It had some bark but not much of a bite.

Fortunately, A small contingent of repair drones had also been activated and were currently buzzing about the cruiser. Conducting repairs where needed, as well as inspecting other systems just in case work needed to be done. Add to the fact there were three " Engineers" on board that which coordinated with the man made repair drones and would follow up on the Drones repairs, it was clear to see that the Siege Merciless would be back to operational status within a couple days. All thanks to the efforts of the Valian-class'' resident Artificial Intelligence, who coordinated everything. Eventually she began to process and "edit" the many sensitive files which were present within the system and it was where she would find something rather curious

It had taken a few hours, but Hanna had fully integrated into the Cruiser's computer core. As part of her program, the Emergency A.I. began to scan every single file which were stored on the servers. Deleting those which were too valuable to leave unattented and at risk of being accessed by "unknown" individuals. This was a military vessel after all and not everything on board are meant to be seen by persons outside of the UNSC. But upon reaching the medical files, Hanna noticed something unusual.

On all UNSC vessels, the medical files of each vessel's crew members are kept. Which makes total sence when you think about it. As knowing someone's medical history can mean the difference between life or death and Spartans were no diffirent. Despite the mythos surrounding them, the Spartans on the United Nations Space Command were still quite human and could still be hurt. So it would make sense that they would have their own medical files for "certain" medical personnel to access. Since Logan would most likely be her "companion" for the foreseeable future, Hanna thought it would be a good idea to see his medical history.

But when she tried to access Logan's file, it would not open. Now this was odd, as normally accessing a Spartan's medical file wouldn't be an issue, even for an Emergency A.I. like herself. She tried again, but all that showed up was a date bright red "X" which flashed ominously in front of Logan's file. Digging deeper Hanna soon realized that Logan's file was not only sealed, but encrypted as well. Apparently a "key" was needed to access said file, which was really perplexing to say the very least. Sure the Gunnery Sargent was indeed a Spartan and it was not uncommon for their personal files to sealed. But this was a level on encryption the Artificial Intelligence was not familiar with.

Just what was this file hiding?

Hanna was just about to pry into this more, when she suddenly received an alert from the planet below. But is was not from the Spartan that now intrigued her. Rather, it came from the Pelican which Logan had used to travel to the surface with Neo-Queen Serenity and her companions. Apparently, the drop ship had aroused the interest in someone, someone who had attempted to get inside but failed.

Tapping into one of the remote cameras on the drop ship, the A.I. was taken aback by what she saw. For standing by the rear access ramp, was a young woman with blue hair pulled into a bun and wearing a head dress that defied all logic. She also wore a light blue one piece dress and strangely enough, she had what looked like a doll wrapped in her arms. Just who was she?

[ ]

Meanehile back on Earth, Palla Palla looked on at the strange craft with child like wonder, as the Dropship sat before the Asteroid Senshi like a sleeping animal. Just like the rest of the Asteroid Senshi, Palla Palla and her "sisters" had been tasked to guard the strange vessel by Neo-Queen Serenity herself. As a result, the four were now in the Royal Gardens and all kept watch from a distance... All except for Palla Palla of course, who could not help but to get a closer look at the strange ship now before her.

"Palla!" a new voice called out to the young woman, causing her to jump. She had been found out.

Suddenly, a young woman with pink hair done up in a rather interesting way and dressed in a yellow one piece which was similar in design to her own, came up the path with a scowl on her face. Palla Palla braced herself for what was to come, as Cere Cere could be quite scary when she was upset.

"Don't get so close to that thing!" Cere Cere admonished her younger sibling, as she walked up to her. "I told you to stay in your position and keep an eye on this thing, not walk up to it!"

"Sorry Cere-chan." Palla Palla said with a pout, as she sadly looked up at her sister. "But Palla Palla really wanted to see it up close! It looks so cool!"

"Neo Queen Serenity told us to make sure that no one got close this... Thing!" Cere Cere replied. " We're lucky she and her Senshi were willing to give us a second chance after our powers were awoken. What you think is going to happen if she or Mars or Jupiter..."

"Relax, Cere." Another voice called out "Its not like she ran off after the Ice Cream man... Again."

Sure enough a third young woman with green hair and dress in a pair of ripped jeans, a red vest and black sleeveless jacket, appeared sitting on a nearby tree branch. The young woman leap from her branch with ease and with a flip, landed effortlessly in front of her older sisters. "Seriously sis, I think you are taking this way too seriously."

"I agree." A fourth voice piped up, as its owner appeared from behind a tree and walk towards the group. Her crimson colored one piece matching her hair, with itself was done up in a impossibly large pony tail. "Besides, you did tell her to keep an eye on that thing. You just didn't say just how close of an eye to keep on it."

Cere Cere just huffed in defeat, she always hated it with her sisters ganged up on here. Even more so when they were right. "Still. She should not have left her spot!"

"So what are you doing here, then?" Ves Ves asked her with an accusing eye. " Didn't you say you were going to stay at the East entrance?"

"Yea." Jun Jun added. " Somehow I doubt you saw Palla leave her spot on the north gate."

"What about you two?" The pink haired woman shot back. "Why aren't you at your posts?"

"I came looking for you and didn't see you at the East Gate." Jun Jun explained.

"And I saw you walking into the garden, no where near the North Gate." Ves Ves replied, as an orb formed in her hands that showed Cere Care creeping in the bushes in an attempt to look at the Dropship. Palla Palla just looked on with an innocent expression on her face.

"Fine! I came to gawk at it too!" The elder sibling finally confessed, looking completely defeated at this point.

"See, was that so hard?" The green haired woman asked, as she walked up to the Pelican. "I wonder how they built this thing?"

"Looks pretty expensive to me." Chimed in Jun Jun, as she too was in awe of the vessel before her. "Did you see the guy who was supposedly flying this thing? He was wearing some kind of armor."

"Palla Palla saw him!" The blue hairs Amazoness chirpped. "Palla Palla thinks he looks cool!"

"We don't even know just who or where he came from!" Cere Cere protested, "As far as we know, it could all be a ruse! We're not even sure if what that thing is is human!"

"You better hope my mother doesn't hear you talk about her guest like that." A new yet very familiar voice spoke up. A cold shiver ran down Cere Cere's spine, as she and the other Quartet members saw Small Lady "Chibiusa" walking up to them with a small lavender colored cat in her arms.

"Your Majesty!" Cere Cere gasped, as she and her sisters knelt down in respect.

Chibiusa just huffed before she replied, "How much times I have to tell you to not do that? You don't have to bow to me!"

"Palla Palla is sorry, your Majesty." The blue haired Amazon said apologetically.

"And just call me Small Lady, or Usagi!" The pink haired princess replied, just as the cat jumped out of her arms and landed before the Quartet.

"What are you doing out here your- , Usagi?" Jun Jun asked curiously, as she and the rest of her team got up from their positions.

"I came down here to see how you guys were doing."

"I though you wanted to see Logan's ship up close?" Diana, the small cat, replied innocently. Causing her young charge to blush.

"Well... That too." Small Lady Usagi confessed.

"But shouldn't you be with your parents right now? The pink haired Amazoness asked her Princess/Friend.

Chibiusa just frowned. " They... didn't let me join them." She replied. "Mom said that she only wanted herself and her senshi to meet with Logan first."

"Logan?" Ves Ves asked. "His name is Logan?"

"Palla Palla thinks that's a strange name for an Alien."

"That's the strange thing." Small Lady explained. "Mom doesn't think he is an Alien."

"Nor do any of Neo Queen Serenity's senshi." Diana added. "They think he really his human!"

"What?" The Quartet gasped, as they listened intently to the little cat.

"I overheard Rei talking to Serenity and Endymion. She believes that Logan is human under that armor."

"Diana, were you ease dropping again?" Small Lady asked the lavender cat with an accusing eye. Now it was Diana's turn to blush in embarrassment.

"Still." Cere Cere protested. "As your guardians, I must insist you don't get too close to that ship!"

"Um, Cere... We aren't her guardians. The Daughters of Serenity's Senshi are currently in training to become her Guardians. Remember, we are the reincarnations of the Asteroid Senshi that were killed when the old moon kingdom was destroyed." Jun Jun reminded her once older sister, As they had all been "Awoken" as Senshi before Serenity and her Husband became the rulers of Earth.

"Doesn't change the fact it could still be dangerous." The eldest Asteroid Senshi replied.

"Didn't stop you, now did it?" Ves VES chirpped, causing Palla and Jun to giggle.

"I can assure you, I am no threat unless I have to be." Hanna's voice boomed out from the drop ship, causing the Asteroid Senshi and Chibiusa to jump.

"D... Did it just talk?" Cere Cere asked worriedly, as she eyed the Pelican.

"No... I did." Hanna replied, "I am just using the Pelican's speaker system to talk."

"Ohhhhhhh... A Talking Ship!" Palla Palla squealed with glee, while the rest of the group looked on in astonishment.

"Who are you?" Diana asked curiously.

"My name is Hanna, and I could not help but to over here your conversation."

"Wait... You must be that A.I. my mother told me about." Small Lady Usagi replied. "You're that ship in space!"

"Well yes and No." The A.I. explained. "I am just a computer program that oversees the operations of the ship. I was alerted that some one was trying to get inside the Pelican and that is when I saw you."

"Oh, I'm sorry miss Hanna. Palla Palla did not mean to disturb you." The child like Amazon said sadly, as tears began to form in her eyes.

"It's okay, you didn't disturb me. But I do ask that you keep your distance and do NOT interfere with the Pelican." Hanna asked the group, with a slight firm tone in her coat voice. Still taken aback by thus sudden interaction, Small Lady, Diana and the Amazoness Quartet left the clearing. Leaving the Drop ship to sit alone and in peace.

"Well... That was intereting." Ves Ves confessed, as she and the rest of the group stood near the western entrance to the garden.

"Yea!" Jun Jun agreed. "At least she seemed friendly."

"Palla Palla like Hanna!"

"So what do we do now?" Cere Cere asked. "Its obvious this Hanna can keep an eye on that... Pelican on her own."

"Well... Just keep people away from that part of the Garden." Small Lady suggested. "She may have been friendly with us, but that doesn't mean she will be with the next person. Especially if they really want to get in.

The Amazons nodded in agreement, before returning to their previous positions to ensure no one got close the the ship now hidden in the Garden. But as Small Lady and Diana began to make their way back towards the Palace, they could not help but to wonder how the meeting between Serenity that " Logan" was going.

Would he be a Friend... Or Foe...?
