Welcome to Gaia! ::

Striker had actually gotten the message through his visor as he scanned her system. He didn't say a word however as he just seemed to stare into space looking for the sentinel. His helmet beeped as he answered it " Striker what's your statues?" a voice asked sounding monotone and robotic. He spoke in his deep voice though it held more emotion " Inbound to your position twenty." he said.

The voice spoke again " We received a transport seven was destroyed along with Melanie-798.' the voice said " Confirm?" it asked Striker.


Striker stayed silent for a moment " Confirm." he said " I met up with the Galactic Federation Army soldiers." he said " Neither our marines nor their soldiers on the front line survived." he said.

The voice went silent for a moment " We've picked up yuor signal an unknown gunship heading our direction should we treat those on board as hostile?" it asked and Striker gave it some thought and shook his head " Negative twenty I'm currently with a bounty hunter by the name of Cameron Aran." he said and the voice on the other end started typing.

Twenty sent a bit of information to Striker " Cameron Aran former Galactic Federation soldier turned solitary bounty hunter." she said " Daughter of Samus Aran. Can you confirm this is her?" he asked.

Striker shook his head " Negative subject is currently armored, but treat as friendly Twenty." he said.

Twenty sent a conformation code to him to use when they got to the Sentential. He cut the transmission and went silent again and stared out.

Striker walked over to her and shook his head. That Marathon class ship wasn't the sentinel but the recently found Halcyon-class cruiser next to it was. He pointed towards it and looked at her. The Sentinel was a recent find actually and was repaired and upgraded making it the most effective cruiser they had at the moment. He began to feed the code to the ship as a all clear sign appeared on his visor so he let her continue There were hundreds of YSS-1000 flying along side it. He turned on his communication " You have conformation to dock briefly to let me off." he said to her to make sure she knew. He backed up and stared as they slowly approached to large ship. He was glad to see it was still intact and fully functional now as it would serve as base until they reached a suitable colony.

He pointed at the open bat on the side of the ship and looked at her expecting her to take it. He crossed his arms and sat down for a moment as he started to check his armor it was in need of repair though it didn't look like it. He was still breathing which was good but he'd have to have Twenty get it repaired unless he had another planet to fight on which he hopped there wouldn't be for at least a few hours so he could restock on ammo and grenades.

He nodded and walked over to the tile on the floor and stood in the middle of it like she had told him wondering what would happen now.

Once on the ship he was met by the captain and a few other Spartans as he was led to the bridge. He met up with twenty an AI he would always keep here but she was inside a suit of spartan armor. He took of his helmet and placed it on the table " She was with the GFA" he said to her immediately.

Twenty shook her head " It would seem so, I'm surprised she didn't attack. the GFA seems to consider us at fault here." she told him.

Striker nodded " I noticed, but its on matter, earth is lost thank to the covenant and whatever those other creatures were with them.' he said and took off his armor " My armor needs to be repaired. make sure they know to calibrate the shields they don't seem to be working properly." he said and walked off to the weapons lab.

Keither sat there taking apart and repairing his weapons as he laid them out on the table. Once of the other spartans sat across from him " I heard you met a bounty hunter today." said the spartan known as Emile-639.
Keither nodded but didn't look up " I did, this one seemed heavily armored and was smart enough to comply." he said " But she works for the GFA so I don't expect her to be an ally in the future just beacuse we have the same enemy." he said.
Emile chuckled " I would have to agree but she was nice enough to drop you off...and maybe you could have gotten some info out of here, I heard that with the covenant were things called Space Pirates..or at least Twenty said so." Emile said looking right at Keither.
Keither knew nothing about those creatures " They didn't provide much problem for me but many of our marines were lost." he said.
Emile laughed " Yeah well it happens all the time but its sad we lost earth, I never thought it would happen.' he said.
Keither sighed " Yeah, I'm sure next battle I'll be working with the Oribital Drop ship troopers as their much better prepared for combat." he said.
Emile nodded ' Hopefully the GFA don't get in the way..otherwise we mgiht have to fight them.."

Keither went into the armory where they were currently working on his armor. He went over to the corner and sat down closing his eyes to rest after today he felt tired since he just fought for days across so many cities. He really wished the GFA weren't there as they provided nothing but trouble for him and his marines who were all dead now but being as he was used to it didn't feel bad as he was just waiting for the next battle or task he would be placed on.
