Location: UNSC HIGHCOMM, Planet Earth

Oregon stared at his two new partners. "Are you kidding me?"

UNCC HIGHCOMM grinned. "Meet agents Beckett and... Beckett."

Oregon's eyes widened. "Wait... Beckett?"

The gold-armored ODST Beckett shrugged. "Guess we should explain our connection to North."

Oregon glared. "No kidding, Goldfish!"

Gold shifted uncomfortably. "Well, you see... North was cloned off of me, so... I'm technically his father."

"Then why would you do that to your SON?"

"Because i never really knew he was my son. Then the UNSC sent me to a psychiatrist, and now I'm helping the UNSC!"

Oregon rolled his eyes. "And what's your real name, Gold?"

"My name is Trevor Alan Beckett."

Oregon looked to his other partner, who was wearing silver standard-issue armor. "And you?"

"Hi Oregon. You know why my last name is Beckett, don't you?"

Oregon nodded. "Yes.. I'm sorry for your loss, Silver."

Silver looked confused. "Wait, what? North is-?"

Oregon nodded. "I'm very sorry for your loss."

They exited HIGHCOMM and hopped into the shuttle that would take them to Chorus. Their mission had begun.

Location: Mount Song, Planet Chorus

Vermont had Theta play a feed they had infiltrated. Control was talking about capturing the Reds and Blues, and putting them on opposite sides of the war. Strange. He felt he recognized Felix and Locus from somewhere... Nah.

Washington made an entry in his logbook:

"Another lazy day. Vermont says we have to go back and ensure that they aren't kidnapped, but I think they'll be fine. Carolina doesn't know what to do. I think that she and Epsilon are trying to figure out what they want to do."

Location: Crash Site Bravo, Planet Chorus

Arizona worked on the radio yet again, Tucker right behind him trying to tell him how to do his job.

"Hey Blues! We built a robot! maybe he can fix your thingie!"

Arizona growled. "NO! I'm doing it myself!"

Simmons spoke. "You know, you're being really mean lately. No wonder Kappa transferred to Caboose."

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah!"

The radio powered on and Arizona stiffened, "Holy crap! I did it!"

The Mexican robot stepped out from under the radio and said something nobody understood.

Arizona attempted to call for help. "Hello? Hello? Does anybody read me? We have crash-landed on a strange planet and need help! Mayday, mayday!"

A voice responded. "Hi there! I read ya louder and clearer!"

"Oh thank goodness. We crash landed and need help. I'm here with the Blues and Reds-"

"What, like a light-ish red?"

Sarge groaned. "Donut, is that you?"

"Oh hey, Sarge! I'll be on a ship to help you guys right now! See ya soon!

Sarge was stunned. "Men, we're gonna be rescued!!! Now let's eat all the food and shoot our guns into the air!"

Simmons spoke up: "Let's rebuild the Warthog!!!" Nobody cheered. "So we can crash it!"

Arizona shrugged. "Meh. I guess we could have some fun."

Location: Crash Site Bravo, Cave System 5

Caboose and Kappa were working on something. They were almost done welding, then it would be completed.

Location: Crash Site Bravo, Clifftops

Felix's eyes went wide. "Holy crap, it's really them!

Locus didn't care. "How do we get them to join up?"

Felix grinned. "Let me do it."
