ODST (Halo)

First Contact

To all those still reading, this is probably my fastest update in a while, hopefully you'll like it and will read some more.

But without further ado...

_Start_

“I don’t like this one bit” Cody said as he held a squad of clones behind him with their blasters at the ready.

Obi-wan and Anakin both stood in a formal pose in front of the clones, but both of their hands were cupping their lightsabers behind their backs, making the clones anxious. The freighter ship that arrived was a run down looking YT-2000 light freighter. It obviously needed repairs and the swivel gun on top looked damaged.

“No wonder they got “stranded” in the middle of space, this thing is a piece of junk” Anakin said in disdain as he eyed the ship.

“Yes, no wonder” Obi-wan said as he slowly clipped his lightsaber back onto his belt.

Everyone snapped to it as the ramp to the ship slowly opened in front of them with a hiss and steam being sprayed in all directions. Anakin’s eyes narrowed in anticipation and his fingers twitched behinds his back. The thought of either wait for a person or a barrage of blaster bolts, went through his head. The steam began to dissipate as the ramp reached the floor and as a pair of legs started walking down, the ramp the clones spread out and took cover, pointed their blasters at the door.

“Please don’t shoot” a female voice yelled out before completely stepping out of the steam with her hands raised above her head.

She appeared to be a human female wearing what seemed like some kind of green flight suit.

“Who are you” Anakin yelled out, anger clearly showing on his face.

“I-I-I’m just a merchant, my ships in a v-very bad condition and needs repairs immediately, I can p-pay you if you want” the women stuttered out, looking quite scared in the process.

Obi-wan reached out with the force and tried sensing her thoughts, only to feel nothing. He sighed and mentioned for Cody to stand down his men.

“I'm sorry about my former padawan but we are here under… strained circumstances, it would be much appreciated if you could give us your name and show us your cargo” Obi-wan asked kindly.

She looked hesitant due to all the blasters in the room but she nodded and slowly let her hands drop to her sides.

“I’m Nadia Odela, and my cargo is 3 aliens, I was transporting them when my ship started having problems” she said with a hitched voice.

“What aliens?” Kenobi asked with a raised brow.

“I don't know… but they wanted me to ask you… what stands atop the five towers?” she asked hesitantly.

Anakin just stared at her in confusion and Kenobi's eyes widened in realization, the clones not knowing a thing.

“Cody, send your men back to the barracks, you stay here” Kenobi ordered before turning to Anakin.

“Is it them” Anakin asked quietly, still carefully eyeing the girl.

Kenobi peeked back at the troopers who were making their way to one of the elevators across the hanger while Cody stood a few feet from them

“Yes” kenobi said as he turned back to Anakin, the air growing silent between them.

They waited silently for the other clones to leave and the girl looked even more confused. The sound of the hanger bay doors closing echoed and Kenobi wasted no time before stepping forward a few steps.
