To absent friends

     So I am probably going to be either putting things on private or deleting nearly everything on this blog to start fresh.  Because I am too lazy to make a new blog with the same URL.  However, I will figure out what I am keeping for this revamp. 

     I do have another plan going along with this as well.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.  AND YOU ARE TO BLAME.

So, I've been playing the Halo infinite mp qnd I've decided to revamp this blog. I also need to reread a few things and watch a few things. Over time I'll have this settled.

S-II’s were not the talkative sort. Olympia remembered well the return journey from Sanghelios to Infinity, sitting in the back of the Pelican with the other members of Fireteam Osiris, just opposite Blue Team, and the awkward silence that hung over the group as they attempted to rendezvous with the flagship.

Once back on Infinity, the mood really hadn’t changed. Crewmembers were scrambling to keep the power going between random slipspace jumps, Laskey was barking orders left and right, Roland was running himself ragged. There wasn’t much for the different fireteams to do except engage in drills or target practice.

In once such simulation, it called for a Two-Spartan team, and Olympia had been paired with Blue Team’s sniper. The mission was a success, but they were far from a well oiled machine, the only time she ever heard Linda-058 speak was to call out patterns and targets from her sniper position while Olympia ran interference on the ground.

They returned to the armory, the Copperhead clad spartan depositing the training weapons back in the bin where they came from so maintenance could restock the ammo for the next soldier to use them. “… How did I do out there?” She asked the sniper, a random question, Vale knew she wasn’t at peak performance but… well, if Osiris and Blue team were going to work more closely, communication between them would be key here.

     Normalcy, this chaotic plan put in motion was like an old friend for Linda. Especially, now thanks to Cortana. She was not used to being on Standby.  Having now being put into drills, the routines of keeping skills sharp.  Linda was getting bored, not that helping others were not key to their survival.  

     The simulations were set up as a War Game style, pitting mix teams ranging from II’s to IV’s.  Linda was paired with Olympia Vale of Osiris.  It was an interesting mix, to say the least.  Linda noted that Vale’s strength was a mirror of Kelly’s.  A game plan has been formulated within the confounds of Linda’s mind.

     Prior to the set up, Linda had shared a plan with Vale.  Linda will be the eyes, with Vale as the Rabbit.  It was an old plan of Linda’s, occurred back when she was in training as a child.  She was taken note of Vale’s abilities, formulated more plans to use if they were paired again.

     Handing the Training equipment to the areas noted, Linda had heard a brief hesitation from the other.  Linda turned and stared at Vale, while removing her helmet.  Dark emeralds stared at Vale, a glint of enjoyment was seen in them. Taking a few second to speak, Linda’s lips held a small smile beginning to form.

     “Adequate, giving the situation.” 

“Gold. One of ‘em claims have been a baker’s kid before the Program. She doesn’t remember much of it, but she told me she knew how to make cookies, like lots of them; enough to sell to a whole town. You see, she said it’s easy, like flour, butter, sugar, chocolate chips, eggs, and that’s it. Don’t tell me you don’t wanna try it!” The Spartan was so giddy that he practically squirmed with excitement. If baking was that easy, any one of them could do it. Kurt, of course, had to be the first to test it out. That way, if anything went catastrophically wrong, he’d be able to warn the others, not that anything like that was going to happen. This was the kitchen, not the damn shooting range!

She is going to give Kurt the benefit of doubt, since he is seemingly giddy over this.  Listening carefully to what he said, there had to be more towards this than what Kurt was stating.  “And did she give you any more information about this?”  Linda was now itching to look up what would seemingly seem simple, “Do you realize we need to clear with the Head Cook of the mess, and some officers, right?”

Don’t get me wrong I love halo 5 because (1) Linda-058 and (1) Holly Tanaka.

This is how I describe Halo 5:
