Default watched the training drill intently. Though she was only paying attention to one Spartan. When the drill was complete she smiled slightly. She pointed to him and said to Dr. Lance "I want to accompany him. " "Oh? That’s 127...Henry I think his name was." Dr. Lance smiled and said "What made you choose?" Default turned back to the Spartans and shook her head. Dr. Lance walked to the door and said "I'll let him know he has a partner now. He'll be excited to head off."

Default smiled slightly as the door slid shut behind the Doctor. Her projection blurred slightly and she looked down sighing. Her image became clear again as Dr. Lance walked in with the Spartan. The Spartan walked up to her, had he not noticed them watching the training session? He seemed confused. He held his hand out and said "Spartan Henry 127." Default hesitated and held her hand out to his...of course the projection of her hand broke up, and she pulled it away.

Instead of seeming disappointed, she smiled and acted as if she had been able to shake his hand. "My name is Default." Dr. Lance coughed slightly and said "Well then, I hope both of you are prepared to go. I've had an important task assigned to you." Dr. Lance pulled Default's chip from the projector and handed it to 127. "You take care of her. She will take care of you. This is the one task you will never finish." Dr. Lance walked from the room with the Spartan.

When the group arrived at a shuttle the Doctor explained they would be going along on a trip to the space station ATLAS. It is almost completely destroyed, but there may still be valuable information aboard. 127 sat down and waited for take-off. His mind was racing with excitement. He wanted to help in any way possible. It was just who he was.
