Halo X Gate

Chapter 24 Readiness For Battle

As that of morgana and her crews were just finished with hooking the blue pearl to a full stop, those of the twenty-first-century migrants and the vahrian southerners then began disembarking from the ships deck.

While they do so, the unsc marines and the town's native guards were motioning for them to another direction opposite from the way the ocean is at.

Meanwhile as they were being led off to land, carly along with russel adlers and his group is seen strolling down from the steps till they set foot on the wooden bridge.

As they then were strolling on behind the southen refugees and migrants, the spartan who was none other then Five walked out of the ship's opened deck. And exiting beside him was the three twenty first century journalists that he met from before. Their lead Journalists, by the name Sarren and her two colleagues, Iken & Jayna.

Sarren, for her part, refused to leave the Spartan and his team's side under any circumstances, especially since she and the others were not too trusting of anyone in this world. However, while walking with the ship's crew and the Spartan, Sarren made sure to capture everything with her personal camera. 

"Wow! This is pretty amazing. The sight of this place is incredible! Take a look at there iken & Jayna, are you two seeing this!" Sarren pointed to where the three of them noticed two fairly large unsc drop ships.

"Are those the space people!" Said jayna as she turned the head of her camera to where it faces the direction the unsc drop ships are seen unloading packages.

"Hey, uhm, five is it?" Uttere's Iken who shifted slightly.

"Yes, what is it?" Responded Five who still continued walking while listening in on what he had to say.

"Although I am aware that you are a UNSC member, could you tell me the precise location of our joirney? You know, the planet, or world that is?" Iken inquired, knowing that the Spartan was accustomed to travelling between worlds due to what he is.

"I do not fully grasp this world for what it is. Even for as long as I've been in it." Replied Five as he made sure to pass by people carefully so as to not bump into them by accident.

"I suppose you are correct in that regard. But given that the locals are working with the unsc sdiers, do you think they will be stationed close to this port? Is it possible to conduct interviews with the people around here?" Iken continued, struggling with the angle he was in to turn to face the camera at five. 

"I don't see why not. But I highly advice you not to do so... It is evident that some of the indigenous population is not comfortable with the unsc presence." Responded five, noting that some of the attendees appeared to be slightly wary of both unsc people and marines.

When Iken and his two colleagues took a quick look around, they saw that not all of the locals were too trusting of the space travelers. However, throughout their entire stay here, in addition to the unsc soldiers and people, there were other foreign faces present.

Russell and Helen Park recognized a familiar face right away and the two of them came to a halt along with those around them.

When the three individuals reached them, they stopped fairly good distance. One of them a unsc marine officer.

"Hello there." The marine greeted as she glance at them, and while that had continued on, her eyes lit up slightly. "Carly, is that you!"

The oni agent strolled forth in between collon & morgana. "Hi there  xiamo, it's good to see you."

After exchanging embraces for a brief while, the two of them left. Xiamo entered first and spoke first, with the other people standing by.

"Hello Carly, It has been a while. Do tell me, please. How is it going for you today, oni woman?" Xiamo remarked, glancing at every individual in the vicinity of Carly.
