Immortal Warheads [Discontinued]

Chapter 15

   As Aloe was resting on a chair the other Spartans had separated to go and look for supplies. Joseph walked down the hall removing his helmet looking at the visor. It had a rather large crack down the middle of it. "Ah fuck, I didn't think she fucked me up that bad." He groaned and tucked his helmet under his arm. "And it'll never get fucking fixed because of that deal Aloe made." He continued as he looked through different rooms trying to find anything of interest. Soon he reached a room full of empty stasis chambers and tools. Joseph rummaged through the scrapes before he brushed off the side of what looked like a Mohawk. "Oh, what do we have here?" He slowly pulled at the piece of metal. When he lifted it up it was an Achilles helmet, he slowly rubbed his thumb over the visor to clean it off. "Well, would you look at that." He rested his old Mark IV helmet on the table before slowly putting on the new helmet. It booted on beginning to sync up with his armor. "For what it's worth, this thing is actually keeping up." He slowly looked around the room. "Whatever they were working on, it really is something." He looked back down to his old helmet before picking it up and leaving it on an old hook. Taking out his A.I. and putting the chip into his old helmet. "We had a good run, but I think this will suit me more." He left the room going off to find more supplies.

Alex had soon made his way to the main deck looking over the controls. "I'm no pilot, but this has gotta be the main place. Funny enough, most of this stuff looks like it could still work." He said before he sat down at one console pushing buttons and flicking switches out of random. As he did so the computers and panels booted on with flickers and pops. He stood up and walked back looking around before everything powered down again. Alex looked around before slowly turning around. "Hey, um, guys? I don't think this ship is as dead as we thought." Alex said over his coms. Aloe was the first to respond. "You saying that this old thing still has some juice in it?" "Yeah, I was messing around and well, seems its still functional, just, in need of some major repairs." Alex said as he walked out of the room. "Well, we can always keep the whole ship" Shepard jokingly chimed in. "Actually, that's not a bad idea." Aloe said as Alex walked into a room picking up a few bandages and things. "Wait, are you being serious?" Alex said as he stood up again. "When do I ever joke around Alex?" Aloe said rather bluntly. "Hey, I'm down. I mean, we do have to fend for ourselves now. Why not surprise the UNSC with a frigate." Joseph said in a rather happy tone. "So, it's settled, we're taking the whole damn ship." Aloe said before the others began to chuckle, it somewhere between excitement and worry. "A whole ship, alright then." Shepard said as Alex made his way back to the training room. "Yeah, this place could use a little TLC and it'll be flying in no time." Aloe said before pulling up a chair for Alex. "Yeah, and where are we gonna get the stuff to repair it oh fearless leader?" Shepard said entering the room. "We steal it, after all, we did just get out of a war. There has got to be just all sorts of amazing stuff lying around colonies. We just have to beat the UNSC and Covenant to the punch." Aloe said as Joseph walked in holding a rather large crate. "Well look at you mister, looking all fancy." Shepard said looking at Josephs new helmet. "Hey, my old one was cracked man." Joseph set down the box before sitting on it. "So that's the plan. Find stuff, bring it here, and get this thing air born again." Aloe said crossing her arms. "Is that understood Spartans?" The others looked at each other before looking up at Aloe. "Sir, yes sir." The laughed before standing up, grabbing their new found loot.
