-- ❝ We had an idea. One to end this back &. forth. Desperate times call for desperate measures. ❞ Dr Catherine Halsey walks down the corridor, an escort behind her leads the spartan forward despite the restlessness. She ignores the resistance behind her as she continues, ❝ It's our final chance on Halo. A secret weapon, you might say. ❞

At times, she can hear a struggle behind her between the intervals of silence. Footsteps that reverberate around the hall occupy the times when the Spartan-II &. marines are still. Click, click. The pace picks up as they approach the door, &. Halsey bows before an eye scan to unlock the door. She turns back to the super soldier, ❝ Thelnea. You have to promise me you won't act irrationally, or you'll be taken off of this mission. ❞

...

The AI stands idly on the table, staring off to the distance as she counts the seconds; milliseconds, nanoseconds. Dr Halsey instructed her to remain perfectly still when she left. To act dutiful. Therefore, she wouldn't be allowed to move in the slightest, or move a single muscle--

The flash clone AI glances to some screens that dance with hues of blue in her peripheral before nervously looking back. Dutiful. She can't act out of order (easier said than done !). She'd die before she could remain still, she had to stick her nose somewhere !

Then the door hisses to life; mist flushes out as the room decompresses, a haze coating the figures that stand in the hallway. The AI snaps to attention, spinning to salute Halsey &. Thelnea as they enter.

#ﾞ ᴡ ——— ❝ Hello Master Chief. I'm your temporary AI &. Spartan Enhancement Unit. ❞ The introduction falls short from a name, the words that should follow travel like a plummeting glacier. What humanity she would have escapes her, slipping through her fingers as she stays silent.

Halsey steps forward once more, -- ❝ We call her the Weapon — to prevent an attachment, &. because, blatantly, she is a superweapon. She stands between us &. the shutdown of the rings. All she needs is an escort. Make yourself acquainted. ❞
