Halo Legacy

Catch up

Well well look who made it back, a very shiny steel tin man with a orange T for a face.

Well nice to see you made it through augmentation Rachel I said taking off my helmet. Copper began getting aboard his vampire (covenant ship look it up)

I'm off to sangheilios I'll check you later Tucker.

See ya Copper. I realized Rach wasn't wearing her armor. She did look different without. Besides her being slightly shorter now (since I'm in mine) I could see her light brown hair, her brown eyes, and her hourglass shape. For us to be 30 years old she still looks 20. Unlike me with my brown hair, scruffy beard, brown eyes, and my trapezoid body type.

Here is an example of each
Tucker

Rachel

Why are you out of armor Rach.

Because they said mine was outdate more so than yours and by the general's orders he wants all of grey team to take some R & R so you better get yours off before the Mason sees and gets pissed.

Alright it's time I got it off anyway.

When your done meet me in the vehicle bay. With that she walked away. My freelancer armor is easy off so when I took it off I dropped by the armory to have it cleaned.

So the ex freelancer with his fancy armor finally stops by what do you need anyway said Elizabeth the armory master.

Well I need it cleaned Ms. Elizabeth.

What do I look like the fucking maid, just joke I'll have one of the trainees clean it. You know there make new spartan 4 armor now with that easy off mechanic. Speaking of trainees I heard you was training a boy to be a spartan.

Yeah he still has got a few years but I think he has what it takes. Wait a minute DIEGO!!! Excuse me Elizabeth I got to go find him. Luckily i found already in a bunk.

Hey Mr. Tucker that odst squad um I think its delta squad was kind enough to let bunk with them.

That's great kid, My team and I are order on a break for awhile so Your training can start tomorrow but I will half to talk to Mason about finding time to continue training but anyways I will meet you here tomorrow at 5:00 alright.

Got it Mr Tucker. Realizing I was holding up Rachel I made my way to the vehicle bay. I don't know what she wants to talk about but I assumed it's probably about getting her bearings on the ship.

As I reached the vehicle bay I saw looming at some scorpion tanks.

There you are Tucker I have been waiting for you.

Right I forgot about my new trainer and I had to settle him in.

You have a trainee really.

Yeah he is a kid from Pathara 15 years old, speaking of which I need to talk to him about that.

15 that's a little to be a spartan almost like how we were treated.

No no I will just train then when he is older he can become one.

Relax Tuck I'm just teasing anyway I have a couple things to talk about. I found out more about this weapon of a planet and its sister planet. Long ago a human fleet landed on Pathara and lost contact with unsc, their time dates back to the Insurrectionist war. The covenant showed up a few years ago and that's when the construction of the gauntlet started. But that doesn't mean the covenant are building it.

But who could be building you don't think it is the prometheans.

I think so, their appearance on the gauntlet has gone up recently as well. Plus the reason they glassed Pathara was to detour people from the planet so they won't find the control center.
Tuck if can control Pathara then...

We control the weapon Rach that is a great idea but it will be hard to gain control with the flood being there.

Right that is talk first later now I want to talk about something else.

Alright what is it.

How do you see me.

Uh what do you mean.

I mean how close do you see me.

Uh. I began to turn red in the face. Now I'm starting to think she loves me.

That is all I needed to know Tuck. She leaned in and kissed me with a passion something I never expected. The answer is clear now but why though she always seemed so stand offish about it before. She stopped and looked at me straight in the eyes.

Sorry I probably shou... should hav... I just wrapped my arms around her in a hug and she leaned her head in on my chest. We stayed this way for awhile until we decided to get some sleep. That was the start of our long relationship.
