POV ODST Sergeant Colt Brown

“Aries never heard of ya” I said ‘he’s one of those smart AI like Cortana” said AJ the AI seemed to take offense to that as it shouted out “Yes every body and the grandmother knows Cortana but there are other AI in the galaxy!” Aries calmed down and came to his senses “how did you find the Integrity anyways” “a beacon put out by one of the other ships just before it was destroyed” I replied as I began trying to access the controls “they wont work every system is disabled I got bored but don’t worry all information in the ships mainframe is in my data base” said Aries “well I guess you’re the only survivor” I was quickly interrupted by AJ “don’t you have to living to be a survivor” “shut up I don’t want to be jettisoned into space by the AI” I whispered to AJ “What was that” said Aries “oh nothing just a conversation between friends… now how do we get you out of here” I said with a face of confusion “oh leave that to me” said Aries his avatar disappeared and then the top part of the holopad turned into a floating disk “ok lets go” said as we turned around and headed back to the ship “how exactly will we be leaving this prison” we have a Longsword fighters in the hanger that will take us to the Gathering” I said as we began walking down the hall way “ the Impartial Gathering? That’s just a small freighter it will never be able to withstand a covenant attack what if they come back I will not watch another ship of men die” said Aries with great concern “don’t worry there isn’t any covenant for a 100 light years” I replied as we came into the hanger we boarded the ships and took off Aries seemed very happy to be off the Integrity as the Gathering came into view something seemed amiss it was quite we got no hail from the ship and when we hailed no one answered we went around to the hanger then we saw it half the ship was missing plasma burns the Covenant fleet had came back “oh my god” said AJ with the look of horror on his face behind us was four capital ships I thought over our situation for a moment “Aries what can you tell me about this fleet” “well not much but they do seem to be looking for something” said Aries “what are you planning Colt” said AJ “I’m planning on saving our ass” I replied I quickly got on the controls and hailed the ship I told them we had what they were looking for much to the displeasure of AJ and Aries it took the covenant 2 minutes for the covenant to amass one hundred and fifteen fighters to escort us to there flag ship when we got there it wasn’t what you would call a warm reception they took us off the Longsword and put us on or knees in  a line of course a grunt was holding Aries’s platform the doors opened and a Zealot walked through “tell me where’s the halo is” he demanded as he walked up to AJ and lifted him up by his shirt “I don’t know nothing you’ll have to talk to that guy” he said as he made a jester towards me I thought to my self why did I think this was a good idea as the Zealot slapped me to the ground almost breaking my jaw “you really need to work on your manners” I said as I spitted out some teeth then AJ said “he don’t know anything I just thought it would be funny to see you beat the crap out of the sergeant here” I turned over and uttered out “bastard” “but the AI is sure to know something he was on the Incessant Integrity” said AJ as he maid another jester towards Aries “you mean that AI that kill thousands of my warriors” said the Zealot as he walked towards the grunt holding the holopad he takes the holopad away from the grunt as Aires avatar appears “the one and the same” said Aries with a smug look on his face the Zealot then became infuriated and threw the holopad across the hanger “take these two to the brig and figure out what that AI knows” shouted the Zealot as he walked out of the hanger.
