Mission 001 [Dictated]

[There's a clunking sound over the journals, one attributed to someone wearing some heavy-duty armour picking themselves up from the ground.

This time, it belongs to one Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052, waking up in his room in the castle...

And wondering how the hell he got there.]

... Ugh. Where the hell am I?

[A pause, and then the following filters out]

This is Noble Five, calling on all UNSC frequencies. Requesting pickup. Current location... [He looks around] Unknown. Looks to be... [Another pause] Some sort of fancy hotel room. Repeat, requesting pickup, over.

[His journal is open nearby, and any UNSC personnel who happen to have their radios on will hear the transmission.]

((OOC: Open to all. Be ready to have one confused Supersoldier.))

[A rocky start, but...]

Maine or Carolina. Got it.

[He's fully confident he can deal with whatever happens, but it's good to have a safety net.]

And considering I'd be space dust right now, it's good to be here.

They're my team. I think I can smooth things over with them. York won't give you trouble. He was friendly with Kat.

You aren't the first person here that'd be dead otherwise.

Well, apart from a headache, and the fact my armour might need a bit of repairing and a fresh coat of paint, I'm fine.

Paint and components for armor repairs won't be difficult at all. Ask the castle. You just need to be careful how complaex ,you wish for. And be specific.

The Lieutenant mentioned that.

[There's a pause]

Something about this doesn't sit right with me. All this talk of magic.

And if you need help with anything, say the word. We know plenty of maintenance.

Didn't sit well with me either. But I didn't have a choice after getting my first chance to experience a species change.

...Species change?

Yes. Species change. The place does it frequently. Almost got me killed more than once because of it. Kat didn't take the appearance of a gray and yellow elite well.

Watch your fire, at any rate. As tough as it may be? If you see an alien, let it prove its intentions.

['scuse him a minute while he absorbs this...]

This place can turn you into Covenant?

[Yes, that is sheer disgust in his voice] I'm starting to think I won't like this place.

It turned me into the species. I couldn't even walk properly. Eating was hell. And balancing like that was awful. Can send you some video proof if you don't believe it.

No, I...I believe you.

[A pause] Damn...

Welcome to the castle. It will make your life suck.

Yeah, I'm starting to realise that, now.

But it's better than death, I guess.

...

That depends.

Well, I guess if you believe your afterlife is a paradise, it might not be better.

Suppose. [Not that he'd ever thought about the afterlife.]

Not the kind of thing Spartans think about...

Well, we don't usually have time. I guess I'll be doing a lot of thinking if I'm going to be staying here.

Kat was the same way.

It might not seem like it, but we are human, y'know. We do think.

I know that better than most of the castle ever will.

[There's a jingling sound as Wash holds the dogtags she left him.] Trust me on that.

Strangely, I do.

I'd better get going. Things to do. Hopefully I'll see you around.

Not hard to miss.
