"So tell me about yourself," a man in tan armor who was followed by a second man in violet, "well, what do you want to know?" The rookie in question asked, "Well, how about your name?" The violet armored man asked, "David, ehhh... Washington, " he corrected himself.

"Nice to meet you I'm Nicolas or north Dakota but you can call me north and this doof over here is James or new York but you can call him York for short" north said, "likewise " wash smiled, there was something familiar about norths smile the Freindlyness like he's seen it before. But where?

He told them what he knew of his life, that he was a marine in the UNSC who was going to start on training to be an ODST after his last mission, but only to find out it was a suicide mission and he was court marshalled for attacking his commander. Other than that and his name nothing, "man, you are a mystery," York said. This made the new recruit confused.

Why was he a mystery? He was simply David he was the new recruit for a project freelancer with a new name. He was agent Washington, nothing more, nothing less, only it's not that simple. Oh, how we wish it was, though.

A year later...

Washington's POV

I was on my way to the cafeteria for lunch we had a mission tomorrow and Carolina wanted us well fed and rested, I saw north and York at the table probably York talking about Carolina again and north patiently listening.

"Hey wash," North said, greeting me, holding York in his yapping. "Hey guys," I said before yawning, "ya okay there?" York asked, "yeah just tired " I sat down with my trey of food "not sleeping well" north asked as he took a bite of his veggies, "yeah I've been having weird dreams its probably nothing " I said taking a bite of my chicken.

"Heh its probably a girlfriend telling him she's pregnant with an alien baby or something " york joked, I rolled my head "Haha very funny" I sassed him we sat there and talked until miss sour puss known as norths twin aka south Dakota.

"What now south?" I heard North say, "lemme guess Carolina?" I guessed it then started her rant about Carolina and how she doesn't act like a teammate. At some point, I was able to drown out her ranting.

I was lost in thought deep in my memories, for a brief moment it was of me being court marshaled, then static there were voices in the static I vaguely heard a name what was it nob? What is the name of? All I got was only a part of a name.

Nob...

What did it mean? Was it a team name? Was it short for a person's name? Who the hell names their kid nob?

"Wash?!" I was shook out of my thoughts by York who was looking at me with an expression of what's wrong, I told him it was nothing and went off to bed.

As I walked out of my room, "So what happened?" I heard a radom agent ask another "apparantly a spartan from noble team survived reach" a spartan? Noble team?

Then it hit me was nob short for noble?

That would make sense... but what was so special about this spartan? I listened in "so there lots of Spartans," the random freelancer said, "So? So! This spartan is the long wolf ONI'S personal grim reaper!"

"Well, what his name?" The freelancer asked, "SPARTAN B-312...noble six!"


"Noble six?"
