The Pandora And The Spartan (Spartan II x Freezing)

Mk-4

Jace POV

All Pandora, including us Spartans, are gathered again as Ohara has an announcement to make. 

Scarlet: Beginning today, I ask for the sincere cooperation of all original Pandora to ensure the program's success. 

Then, the giant screen behind her comes on, displaying the designation of some project, "Mk-4". Some Pandora, especially the ones I know, gasp at this announcement. While Me and the Spartans only listen closely, since we have to report to Halsey later. 

Scarlet: This is the Mark 4. It is comprised of self replicating Nano machines and is installed with data collected from the original Pandora. We will begin with it's distribution to the E-Pandora. When the Mark 4 goes into effect, their Stigmata will be activated. Raising their abilities that is comparable to the original Pandora. 

After the whole announcement we report to Halsey in the armor bay. The news, to say the least, was something she didn't want to hear.

Halsey: Idiots idiots! 

She paces back and forth in front of us, processing what we just reported to her. 

Halsey: Their bodies are not even used to their artificial Stigmata... What were they thinking! 

She then looks at us. 

Halsey: You're dismissed for now. I'll figure something out. 

We all nod and walk out the armor bay. But as we walk down the hallway, my ball up my hand into a fist. The rest of the Spartans go someplace else, I just wander the halls. Since this Mark 4 sounds a little too much like the Spartan II Augmentations. There will be casualties, I know that. And Halsey knew it too. Then my ear catches some small argument. 

Jina: Did you just laugh at her? Don't play dumb answer my question! 

I perk my head up and listen. 

Rana: Oh, sorry, I did not mean to insult you. 

Jina: A spoiled brat like you would never understand...

Rana: Stop that. A mere E-Pandora should not go around picking fights! 

Jina: You insulted my friend, and now you want to start with me?

Then I hear Satellizer start to drag Rana away, much to her protest. But, Jina calls to them, making them stop. 

Jina: Hold it. Do you pity us? 

Satellizer: That wasn't my intention. 

Rattle: It's not a big deal, Jina. I'm fine. 

Jina: Be quiet!

I don't know why, but her telling her friend to be quiet, prompted me to act. So when they leave, I come out. And I see Jina hit the wall with her fist. 

Rattle: It's okay, Jina. 

But, the sight only prompted me to back off instead, and walk away. As I walk, I look back to the day after the Nova attacked West Genetics. 

--Flashback--

I'm standing on the roof of the Academy and look at the view. But then I hear someone walk next to me. Not even turning to the person, as I already know who it is. 

Satellizer: Beautiful right? 

Jace: You could say that.

Silence fills the air until she asks me a question. 

Satellizer: How are you?

Not knowing how to answer that, I look down. 

Jace: I don't know...
