Generation War: Super Serious AI and the Spartan

Halo Reach Arc Chapter 11: Meet Lyra

Year 2545

During the Spartan-II class two program, Gold misses his mother in his room remembering that how life used to be. He tried to run away, but they always caught him doing that. His training is nothing new that they are being trained like ODSTs, Marine, and Army troopers which life for him is very harsh.

He grew tired from doing very repetitive things like exercise, eat same food, and wake up in the early morning. The idea itself is getting insanity for him and don't want to endure it. But that wasn't the case since he's very flirt towards other female even female Spartan within contract that earns him a slap or punch to his body part.

When year of 2545 came, he was twelve years old and not ready for the procedures for him to become a spartan. His other colleagues were older and more experienced become Spartan-II soldiers. He was being watched by Catherine Halsey who found Gold to be a unique case.

Halsey introduced Master Chief to the new Spartan-II candidate that she hopes that he will need a break from the missions, but need him for missions against the Covenant. Gold heard about Master Chief in reports, but never met him in person. Halsey place Master Chief in charge of Gold's training. Master Chief now trains Gold to be a super soldier, but it won't be long until he's ready for the biological procedures.

"Come on, it's not hard to climb 10,000 feet Mountain." Master Chief retort as he grabs the ledge to climb up while Gold is struggling to catch up. Chief knew that Gold is very young and often unruly, but he couldn't help or feel bad for the young trainee.

"I can't!" Gold moan as he climbs up while he puts his hand on the ledge and another hand on a rock. They reach the top which Gold able to reach on the top where Master Chief is.

"Gold-721, are you alright?" Master Chief said.

"Yeah, I am." Gold shrugged off as he got on in his feet. Master Chief pats Gold on the shoulder.

"You did a good job." Master Chief said which surprises Gold.

"Why? Most everyone beat me to the mountain." Gold wondered that he is very athletic, but wasn't brightest and best students in the Spartan-II project class II. He was often lag by everyone else as if he was held back.

"No, I understand about your scores. But I do understand that you never give up. It seems that you have a strong will. I understand why Halsey chose you. She sees you more than just physical strength or intellectual." Master Chief said as Gold angers when he hears the name Halsey.

"What she has to with me? She took my away from home. From my mother? Why?" Gold asked to know why he's being picked for the project in the first place.

"Gold, I do miss my family. But...." Master Chief said until Gold climbs down the mountain.

"This is going to be a long training." Master Chief sigh as he climbs down. They return to base by 1500 hours. Gold went back to his room and lay on his bed.

"I hate this life. Why I must endure this?" Gold thought as he thinks very hard. Meanwhile in the same complex, Catherine Halsey is talking with two UNSC professor Oak and Elm.

"Oak, I do assume you that this Spartan is very...stubborn, reckless, and not very bright. But I do find this Spartan is unique and very interesting." Halsey said as she gives the file to Oak.

"I never met the boy myself." Professor Oak said as he heard about the Spartan-II project, but never met the Spartan he was assign. What he heard that this Spartan-721 is most difficult one to trained with.

"Don't need of that, Oak. I do find this Spartan is from Earth." Halsey pointed out which the file has Gold's name in it.

"Earth? I thought all Spartans were from other colonies. John -117 is from Eridanus II." Elm asked to know why this subject was from Earth.
