Hey guys! Before I begin, I just want to apologize for being inactive so long. I've been having trouble with my internet, and I've been really busy. Sorry!

I walked towards the Bounty Master, but before I could get there, I was intercepted by an Exo Warlock.

"Excuse me." I said to him, attempting to get to the Bounty Master. He didn't move. Agitated now, I attempted to shove him out of the way, but he just jumped up and landed behind me.

"What, you mean you don't recognize me?" He said from behind.

"Should I recognize you?" I said, giving up on getting to the Bounty Master.

"It's me! Aero!" He said, removing his helmet

"Aero, Aero..." I said to myself, trying to stir a memory of the name. It sounded vaguely familiar.

"We were in a Fire Team years ago. Kaleb was also with us a lot." Said Aero. Suddenly, I remembered who he was. We had defeated Sepiks Prime together.

"That's right," I said, "didn't we destroy Sepiks Prime together?"

"Damn right we did! Kaleb was there too, but I haven't seen him in years."

"Who is Kaleb again?" I asked.

"He was the third member of our Fire Team." Said Aero. "But like I said, I haven't seen him for years."

I nodded, acknowledging what he said. I vaguely remember Kaleb. Well, I actually just remember a third person. I couldn't remember any details about him.

"So, what are you up to?" Said Aero casually, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, nothing much." I responded. We had been talking while we walked, and we were now back at the hanger.

"Oh, okay."

"Well, actually, there is something I was going to do..." I said.

"Yeah? What is it?" Said Aero, trying, and failing, to suppress his excitement.

"Well, I was going to try and defeat Phogoth..." I said, somewhat hesitantly.

Aero looked at me like I was insane. I knew I shouldn't have told him. Besides, it's not like
Pwe'd have any chance against him.

"You were going to face Phogoth... alone?" Said Aero, disbelief in his voice.

"Yeah." I said.

Aero just laughed and lightly hit my shoulder.

"You're just as crazy as before." Said Aero, still chuckling.

I gave a short, half-hearted chuckle. "There's only one problem, though." I said. "Just the two of us couldn't possibly defeat Phogoth by ourselves." I said, looking at Aero.

"I know, I know." Said Aero. "So it's probably a good thing that I've been looking for Kaleb. From what I can gather..." He glanced down at a small screen on his wrist, on which there was a few short paragraphs. He read over them quickly.

"From what I've gathered, Kaleb is somewhere on Mars." Said Aero.

"How can you possible know that?" I said.

"Well, word tends to get out when you defeat an entire Cabal army."

"So, you're telling me that Kaleb single handedly defeated an entire Cabal army?"

"Yup."

"Damn." I said, getting lost in my own thoughts again.
