??????? Pov

"I like this one," Says a monotone voice as he points to the data file.

"Are you sure? That one hasn't-"

"Yes yes yes, I am aware." 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yes and this one as well. All in a month I 'will' have them hired," He said hitting the transaction for 500 grand each 'Soldier'.

"Alright, one month. And you have your new recruits."

"Excellent, I will contact you if I am in need of any more for my 'Project'."

"That'll do?" 

"That'll do."

-End of holographic conversation-

30 Days left

34 Pov

"Well 5000, it seems their all dead," I said bluntly pointing over to the havoc.

"NO their just sleeping," he says half jokingly, half menacingly.

"Yeah that's what they want you to think." I see a new notification in my helmet and I open it with my wrist shooting up a hologram in front of me. 

I start murmuring it to myself, "Congratulation on you're new... Rank promotion... In approximately 30 day's you will find yourself... On a, new team? A new starter program... Project, Numbers..." I sigh and close it. "Hey anyone get a new notification recently?" I ask over the radio hiding my emotions, being sadly a professional at doing.

"None," Mainly everyone answers back, except, Doc. He's silent all of a sudden.

"Nothing, Huh?" I ask practically to myself. "Alright, time to move out, get back home, enjoy some supper sometime today. Hopefully..."

Nick Pov

What the hell? I'm being transferred in a month already? Promotion? Did they find out?- How am I to-

Ugh, god the UNSC is pretty unorganized.

Okay its fine, I'll just serve out my time with these guys.

I start making my way back to the LZ with Sandman and Sparky. "So how is his arms doing?" I ask trying not to lose my cool, or head.

"Well personally I would've gotten an upgrade attached but he said no, besides that I guess fine." Sandman says shrugging.

"You can't upgrade things! Its not some video game!" Sparky yells at Sandman's sarcastic comment.

I take that syringe I used to kill that Elite before out. 4ml has been filled with, his blue blood.

"I'd have to check this out in a lab, maybe show some of what they are." I say to myself putting it away.

We've made it to the ship that we shall leave on. "Are we there yet?" Complains Sandman even though we haven't even started to fly away.

"No no we aren't." 34 says stepping onto the ship.

"I wish I could be there though." Sandman added sitting down on one of the seats.

"Not to shabby.." Yang says to herself checking her Beam Rifle she was using to snipe the Covenant.

"I have two syringes left. One mag left.. And twelve bullets." I inform everyone as if they cared though. So I just sit down.

"Hey. Where's 5000?" Sparky asks then just comes around the corner is the demon himself.

"Sup," He just says with his music still blasting in his helmet. Two to the One to the One to the Three, I like good pussy and I like good trees.

Sorry but that is just how life works

Everyone just stares at him as he walks in and sits down. "What?" He asks confused.

34 points to his own radio segment.

5000 hits his own radio turning off his music. "Yeah?"

"Just, no." 34 says.

Everyone just sits down still watching 5000.

"Uh-huh. I have one thing to say to you all." He says.

"Don't you d-"

He dabs "Dab on those hater's."

Everyone is silent...

          -Time skipa to the future-

Nick Pov (Still)

Sitting down on a supply crate I spin the syringe between my fingers. The others left to go eat some supper in the cafeteria of this giant base.

"Hey sup," I hear a familiar voice as I look up to see...

"Hey Felix, how was your friend?"

"You mean 'loco' Locus. My mercenary partner."

"What type of name is-"

"Iron man was taken long ago."

"Oh? Okay?"

"Anyways, how was your first job?"

"How'd you hear about that?"

"All of the Spartan operations are posted on a board. Even your confirmed kills."

"Yeah okay great. I'll remember to check it out."

Felix looks over his shoulder, "Alright I should get going."

"Alright. Before he comes back I guess?"

"Yup I'm going." He starts jogging across the hangar.

I hear uncloaking behind me but I don't need to turn around to know who it is.

"Felix.." Locus grumbles walking past me after Felix.

I sigh and set the syringe next to me.

What did I get myself into?..

Shhhhh.. Nukes are best.
C'yah all in the next chapter. Have fuan.
