'Kick in, kick in!' I hissed in my mind. Damn rocket boots. Finally they started up. I floated through space. 'It's so... so quiet.' I nearly screamed as Omicron came online.
"Sota, you do realize we are in space, right? Space is a vacuum; no sound can be heard unless you have those communicator things."
"Yes Omicron, I know." I sighed. "Sounds like you've been spending time with Delta."
"That's against protocol." Oh great. Smart aleck time.
I rolled my eyes. "Where is the nearest UNSC station - with a medical center?"
"I'm not a GPS, am I? No I am not."
"Omicron."
"Alright, alright! I'll find it. Give me a second."
Deciding to be a smart aleck myself, I said "It's been a second."
He gave me a glare and I laughed.
"Alright, follow Polaris." He said eventually.
"Umm that one?" I pointed to a bright object.
"No, Sota, that's Venus."
"Dammit Omicron, I don't know space like you! Just lead the way."
He smiled. Omicron likes to make me semi-angry.
We floated... and floated... and floated. My wounds felt worse with each passing second. Finally, Omicron said "There!"
"Good job, Omicrom. Now's the time that you need to log off for a while."
"I... I can come back, right?" He said heartbreakingly.
"Of course. You just need to be patient. Good bye for now, Omicron."
"Bye Sota." He said. Then he was gone.
'Here I go...'

I let my rocket boots fail as I entered the loading bay. Guns rose and pointed at me. I went onto my hands and knees, coughing. "Project... Freelancer... did this to... me..." I fake passed out. Murmurs erupted.
"They beat their own soldiers?" "She looks terribly wounded!" At that one, I thought 'No shit, Sherlock!'
Everyone silenced as someone walked forward. "Is she passed out?" The man spoke with authority.
"Yes sir." A soldier replied.
"Wake her up. I want to speak with her."
I could have screamed if not for the importance of the mission. I felt a kick to my ribs and I groaned.
"Miss, are you awake?" I looked up to see a soldier that sounded like a private.
"I-I'm fine." I tried to stand, but I fell back down.
"Chairman Hargrove would like to speak to you."
"O-okay..."
