The Mysterious Traveler In Terra (OC × Arknights)

Chapter 1, 2nd Book: Introduction (again)

In the broad daylight of Terra. Clock striked 12 PM in the noon. An aerial carrier landed on the helipads of Rhodes Island.

Inside was a lone mercenary with his casual outfit with a small modifications so it looked combat ready.

The person had a blue short hair waving in the wind currents. He took his equipments and was escorted unto the corridors of Rhodes Island.

This remote city reminds him of the deaths of his fellow comrades in the past.

Oscar, his best friend..died whilst protecting Him and his surrogate "Little Sister" from a streak of C4's which was from W's Squad.

At that moment, W's squad had direct orders from Talulah herself to eliminate Cos's team. So in the midst of conflict, Oscar, sacrificed his own life so Cos and Carmilla (Cos's surrogate little sister) could escape. But it was cut short when Carmilla oripathy became rampant and started killing her from the inside-out.

As he recalls the dying screams of Carmilla. His blank expression started to drop small tears. But otherwise, his expression stayed the same. No budging. All he felt is just emptiness in the inside.

After reminiscing the past for a while. He finally got to meet the Doctor.

Cos's POV

This is gonna be painful for me at least. Let's just get this over with..

"Hired Mercenary-Assasin. Codenamed: Chrono, Present in this room." Cos introduced himself.

"Ah, Chronos..Nice meeting you today. Come sit down." The Doctor pointed at a chair infront of her.

So..it seems they got a new Doctor in place..guess Althea didn't survive that devastating blast after all...But she does sound familiar..could it be it is still Althea but more friendly??? Jeez..

"Is there anything i could help you today with? Doctor?" I said, expressing a fake smile.

"Oh, no..just have this tea with me for a bit." The Doctor said, smiling in politeness. "It must've been a long travel from your place. Right?"

"Ah...it's not like that.." i brushed off. "It's only 2 hours of travel. Nothing more!"

"Well..do you need a tour on the facility or something?" She asked me about the facility.

"Oh no, im quite familiar about this place." I responded the question. "In fact, i knew some Rhodes Island operatives in the past. Not sure if they remember about me now.."

"Im pretty sure they remember you!" The Doctor reassured...i think?

Ah..i also lost sense of reassurement and hope..just nothing i guess..

"Can you tell me the names the people you know on this landship?" The Doctor asked.

"Closure." "Mhm.." "and Kal'tsit." I said the names. The Doctor then squinted her eyes. Sweat started dropping from her. "E-Excuse me...d-did you just s-say..Kal'tsit..?" The Doctor reconfirms.

"Yes, what's wrong?" I asked. "N-Nothing!!"

"All right, i guess that's all. Can you take me to the dorms?" I changed the subject.

"Oh!, right." The Doctor clears her throat. "Follow me."

3rd Person POV

The Doctor leads Cos to his new dormitory. Some female operators take notes on how striking Cos looked. Some said he looked gloomy or sad all the time. But this doesn't bother Cos in the slightest. All he know is that everyone he cared about died in his arms.
His fellow squad. He lost everything, yet his body is still there.

Unable to die. Unable to rest. Fate was cruel. And will be cruel until time do it's part.

"Carmilla..." He whispered under his breath.

As much as he wants to forget it...he will never forget that one scene that scarred him for life.

He came to realization that he was reminescing the past. His very carefree nature what caused something like that to happen. And alas he reminescing again.

Cos POV

He and the Doctor stopped. "This is your room." The Doctor said.

This was my old room...oh how much i've spent sleeping on this room...

Enough reminescing. I was placing my bags and equipments on the floor for me to clean up later.

I checked out the rooms and it's precisely like how i remembered it.

A small Island type of Kitchen with stools ready. An electric stove with an overhead fan, Gray and Blue cabinets, a gray refrigerator.

The Living room still consists of the same items like a small gray but comfortable couch, with a small coffee table in the middle, an carpet with grey-blue color pallet. And a TV which had HDMI port. I never realized that Terra has HDMI ports in these days.

The Bed is literally under the window. It's a pretty view i got. A small gray pillow which fits the bed-window properly, and a blanket to cover myself.

Another room consists of the bathroom essentials which are the usual sink, toilet, and a shower.

Pretty much everything is well decorated. Oh right, the fridge also has ingredients for self cooking.

"Oh, also..can i assign you to be my escort for tomorrow? I have a meeting with a few LGD operatives." The Doctor asked a favor.

Ah crap...i'll have to meet her again..

"Reason is?" I asked, sweatdropping as well.

"Well, currently our base is in need of operatives to completely make RI working properly. Even my appointed bodyguards. So i only have you to ask." The Doctor explained to me. "Hope it's not a bother to you." The Doctor followed up.

"Ah, don't worry!" I shaked my hands to the left and right. "I can do it." Though my mental health wouldn't be ready for it.

"Great!!" The Doctor happily cheered. She then held my hand and got close up to my face. "I'll be looking forward with you! Chrono!!"

"Right, but can you at least know how close your face is to mine?" I teasingly said.

Took her a moment how close our face is. She then jumped backwards and apologized in embarrassment. I gave her a small chuckle from her reaction.

She lightly punched me for laughing, but eh. This is fine for refreshment. I need a breather once in a while.

Then she suddenly said these lines..

"Oh right, you'd need an operator bio card to proceed into the LGD. So i suggest heading onto the training room. A few recruit operatives are getting their card there as well."

Crap...
