Chapter 3: Journey through the Ark

Several changes on this story. Their will be specific crossovers, mainly StarWars, Halo, and maybe added character , I'll also be adding my personal OC, Yūrei, but a slight different background, he'll still be an orphan with many using him as a scapegoat in many accidents caused by children, teens, and some adults. O'Neill will still be there with the others in the Phantom unit.

Disclaimer: I do not own Halo or Starwars

O'Neil walk down the corridors aimlessly searching for a sign with a map of the the ship. He comes to a set of large twin doors, and walks near them, once he stood five from it, the large doors hiss open with natural light beginning to enter into the artificial lights. As he lifts his arms up to shield his eyes from the blinding light a figure shadows against that light.

"Good morning, O'Neill. I am Dr. Raven Arcane, head of the science divisions here on Ark 01. I'd like to first welcome you into bio-dome 03." The figure says, in a woman's voice seemingly young. Once the light fades and he's able to see the woman, who is in a white lab coat, wearing an equally white skirt, uniform top and heels with a yellow stripe down the front of her top and sides of the skirt. The part he found interesting was her light pale skin, and short black hair in a Japanese hime cut, with features of a distinct Japanese decent, holding a shy smile.

O'Neil smile's back and walks forward getting a view of the dome, the terrain and size. "Let me guess, Japan?" I ask after seeing several fields of rice, and imperial designed homes. "Yes, this dome is one of three major domes and twelve in all." She says walking out and looks around in content. "Dome One is America and Three is England. The three governments who contributed to creating this Ark, while the others joined forming another." O'Neil nods curious about the other nine only to receive a teasing grin from the girl. "You'll have to see yourself." Raven says before walking to a trans cart and waits.

I follow her into the trans cart as she pulls out her data pad and actives the trans motor systems as we move towards the city within the dome.

Normal POV

O'Neil looks around in amazement at the mix of feudal, 21 century and the new modern style of build. The flying cars that were only for the rich when he lived back on Earth. Raven giggles as she observes his reactions. "Where do you get all this materials?" He asks her as he looks around. "Much of the material are recycled and the larger percent are from mining nearby asteroids and planets." He nods as he looks up as a sun in the distance and the artificial one centered in the dome.

They soon reach the outer limits of the city into the country side as the most of the feudal designed building lay before entering a tunnel exiting the Japanese dome. "Now leaving New Japan. Now entering tunnel 2024 to military issued dome 01 'alpha'." A voice over the intercom relays.

"The Military has their for training research and barracks all located in various individual domes and two of them are occupied by the military. One research for their larger experiments and the other for their production of vehicles and weapons." O'Neil nods as he listens to her speak about the various advancements in technology from military to civilian. A ping echoes within the trans. "Now entering military dome 'Alpha' prepare for standard inspection." The voice calls as the tunnel opens up into a smaller dome and to a building built on the trans rail system.

O'Neil waits as the cart stops at the end of the railway and the door opens. "Please, step out of the Trans and have a good day." The voice calls and Raven steps out with me following with a set of guards standing nearby with odd rifles.

"Please step forward. Good evening ma'am, Sir, step forward for standard inspection." A man behind a desk says pointing to what looks to be a metal detector. Raven steps through even with her data pad and the man calls the all clear before motioning me to move up.

As I pass alarms blare. "What the hell?!" The man calls and grabs his rifle and points it to me followed by the other guards. O'Neil lifts his hands and slowly looks around. "Ok, what's this about?" "Y-your entire skeletal structure isn't entirely calcium, nor are your muscles entirely organic. You have a device entering into your skull, forearms, palms, eyes, all layered with synthetic skin. And that's only a fraction of it." The man says with a stuttering voice. "O'Neil, look at me." He does as Raven says but soon things get odd. "Corves, activate from stasis and begin diagnostics of Phantom Agent A1." She says confusing many but soon a disembodied rough and echoing voice follows. "Artificial intelligence, Corvus, online. Beginning systems diagnostics of Agent A1, code name 'Ghost'." Several seconds pass before O'Neil crouches and growls as lines become visible around his eyes and hands. "All systems active and running at optimal level."

The far door behind Raven opens and a man enters wearing a white suit decorated in admiral rank, bald and slightly wrinkled with age. Me and the guards stand to attention when one notices him. "Stand down and return to your post" The old man says as they do, lowering their rifles and returning to their designated spots. "Good evening, Raven. I see you've brought him out of stasis, last." "Yes, Admiral. We had to implant Corvus into his system." "Hmm, so that where he's been. Lucy was getting worried about where he was at. Now at ease O'Neil, your not reinstated just yet." As told he loosens up and walks over. "Good even, sir. Grimm Holloway O'Neil. A pleasure to meet you, sir."

"The pleasure's all mine. Meeting the famed ghost who's went through every simulation with his team and succeed every one, from past operations to one set for the future. Hell, one of the egg heads placed ones from various video games the kids play no a days." He chuckles and carries on with his introduction. " Admiral Lucas Hood, head of defence, Navy and Marines. Now, if you both will come with me, well begin to show you the bridge and a map of the ship." Hood smiles and walks towards the door before turning to me.

"Corvus, unlock all memories from within the simulations and of his new teams." "Releasing memories of Virtual Reality Operations withing simulator." O'Neil stops and drops to his knees as pain hits him like a freight train. Names, faces, events flood into his mind and become sorted, both real and others seemingly of of a syfy movie. "Now lets now wait. Your team is waiting for you." O'Neil gets up and follows. He'll soon witness a new turn of an era and the emergence of the first cyborg unit.

Done. This one was crazy. Hope most of you understand it, if not, let me know. The next chapter will begin with someone else and I'll start implementing songs. Ja ne.
