The minutes ticked on as the pair sat in relative silence. Wild was shaking very slightly as nervousness wracked his body. Having the news that the Princess Celestia wanted to meet them suddenly thrust upon him did not help his already quite nervous demeanor. He had expected to meet the Captain and tell him the situation, introduce Six, and all that Jazz not this.
Meanwhile, as Wild was shaking in his armor and sweating up a storm, Six just glanced around the room, her gaze hidden behind her visor. Her eyes glancing over the on edge guards around the room as they eyed the Spartan warily, their grip unconsciously tightening around their weapons.
Six didn’t really care however and with nothing better to do, she pulled out her knife and began to sharpen it against her armor, much to the guards and Wild’s dismay. The gentle scratch of metal against metal filled the room as a palpable tension began to grow in the room.
Wild immediately voiced his disapproval at the sight of the knife-sharpening pony.
“What are you doing?! Put the knife away!” He whisper-shouted at Six.
“No, it needs sharpening.” Replies Six calmly as if discussing the weather much to Wild’s and the surrounding Guards disapproval.
“Doesn’t matter! Now put that knife away before you get yourself thrown into the dungeon for brandishing a deadly weapon!” Exclaimed Wild reaching over to grab the knife out of Six’s hooves.
Six stopped in her sharpening, turned her head to look at the irate Sergeant Major, and extended one of her wings exposing the extremely sharp feathers contained within. Not another word could be said by the stunned Sergeant as the doors to the dining room were surrounded in a golden glow bringing him back to reality and drawing his attention away from the Spartan.
The doors opened to reveal the Solar Princess in all her glory as she made her way into the room. Her stride and aura radiate regality and that this pony truly was royalty and should be treated as such. So at the sight of his Princess/Ruler/Commander in chief, Wild stood up from his seat and gave her his best bow.
Six didn’t move from her spot as she retraced her wing. The Spartans gaze locked onto the Sergeant as he bowed so low you would think he was trying to do some sort of stretch. She really didn’t know what to make of it as her gaze switched from the Sergeant Major to the Princess, her head slowly tilting to the side in confusion.
She looks about as threatening as a kitten.
Were it not for the one-way visor, everyone in the room would have seen the look of utter confusion and disbelief on the Spartans face. Wild was so nervous because of her yet she looked like she would rather give out hugs instead of leading a nation through this time of war.
She definitely didn’t look like the type of ruler that could deal with the coming conflict. But looks, however, can be deceiving. And a Spartan knew to never underestimate anything.
The room once again lapsed into a tense silence as Six watched from her seat her head slightly tilted to one side. ‘How dare this pony not show respect to their princess’ was the thought that raged through every guard's mind. Celestia, sensing the growing tension in the air now decided it would be a good idea to intervene.
“It’s all right my little Ponies, you may rise,” she said putting on her motherly smile as she made her way towards the Spartan watching her curiously. Said Spartan didn’t move as the Princess approached the table and took a seat on the end nearest to Six as Wild sat back down.
“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you...I’m sorry I don’t believe I’ve caught your name”
“You haven’t but I’m sure your agents have already told you what I like to be called.” That caused Celestia’s eyes to widen slightly at this reveal. “Sending spies to investigate someone trained by ONI, isn’t smart.”
Said the Spartan nonchalantly. “So how about we skip beating around the bush and tell me why you called us here?” Finished Six too many surprised looks.
Celestia was definitely surprised by Six’s words, to say the least. SMILE is the best in covert intel gathering operations, how on Equis did this Pony notice them?! If this ONI taught her how to identify such agents with ease they were an extremely dangerous organization.
“That’s no way to speak to the Princess you wel-“ began one of the guards standing watch before being interrupted by Celestia.
“Stand down soldier”
“B-but your majesty she-“
“Stand down.” Ordered the Solar Diarch, her tone one of finality. Six chuckled slightly at the sight.
“Well” began Celestia with a sigh “ Since there is no use beating around the bush with you I’ll just be straight with you Six. I want to offer you an opportunity for a relationship that would benefit us both.” Celestia said diplomatically to which Six raised an eyebrow in response.
“...I’m listening.”
“I know that you currently have no place of residence and no source of income and that you refer to yourself as a ‘Super-Soldier’. I want to offer you the opportunity to work with me and help us win this war we now find ourselves in. And with your help... we can end this conflict quickly.” Offered the Solar Princess.
“I won’t be giving out any secrets about what I am or my armor if that’s what you're asking for. That information is classified no matter what. Knowing that, is the offer still valid?” Asked Six
“It is not what I was hoping for but yes those terms are acceptable.” Celestia conceded after thinking about it briefly.
“I also want a guarantee that nobody and I mean nobody will have access to my living quarters except me. If I even get the slightest suspicion that you have examined anything that belongs to me you can kiss that deal goodbye, and I will make it my mission to destroy all information you have gathered on me. Got it?” Added Six her tone one that promised dire consequences were her demands not met.
The room stayed silent for several long seconds as Celestia thought on these further stipulations Six had added. Should she accept these demands? Six has already proven herself a very dangerous enemy to have, but with these demands, any attempt at analyzing her armor could end in disaster.
But... there is one pony who could circumvent these demands.
“Your terms are acceptable.”
“Then we have an agreement, Princess.”
An almost collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the room once the Spartan uttered those six words. With the agreement made and the tensest subject out of the way for the Alicorn, they could now move onto more casual subjects. It’s always good to get to know your new ‘Super-Soldier”
“Now with that out of the way I’m sure you're both quite hungry and I doubt either of you have had anything to eat yet.” Began Celestia as several servants entered the room, trays of food on their backs.
The rest of the day has passed relatively quickly afterward. Breakfast was a quiet affair as Celestia tried to make conversation with the Spartan. The keyword being ‘tried’ as the Spartan ate in silence. Six sure as hell didn’t trust this princess, sure they had managed to come to an agreement but it was shoddy at best, and she highly doubted she would keep her end of the agreement in leaving her and her armor alone.
Any leader would be a fool if they didn’t try to get every advantage possible during wartime. So the more information Six kept under wraps the bigger of an advantage she held. After the failed attempt at interrogation by way of small talk Six was brought to an actual interrogation room where agents tried to get more information.
Anything classified remained whilst other things she was asked was answered truthfully albeit vaguely. Such as when she was asked what her full designation meant she did answer and translate the ‘Sierra’ but once again leaving out anything classified. The same also went for when she was asked about what the UNSC and ONI was, only giving out the most basic of information
By the end of the day, information had been gained such as Six’s type of soldier being called a Spartan but any more than that was stonewalled. One thing stuck out to the Spartan, however. Her interrogator’s questions were...precise...calculated. It definitely seemed familiar. Then there were his reactions to her constant stream of ‘Classified’ he almost seemed expectant but not in the way of annoyance at the repeat of the phrase. No… his behavior was different as if he already knew what the answer would be...and that he liked it.
It was barely perceivable to all but the most experienced operatives at ONI. And Six did not like it.
Otherwise, the questions she was asked were mostly about her intentions and experience in military matters. They were clearly trying to gauge her talents to probably see what the best thing to do with her was but that funny feeling regarding her interrogator never left her.
Soon, however, after the interrogation session Six was brought to the quarters she had been given in the Castle of all places. The room was relatively simple and probably filled with surveillance with a bed, desk, cushions for seating, and a couch in front of a small fireplace. But what really grabbed the Spartan’s attention were the sheets of paper sitting on the desk.
They contained what tomorrow would bring for Six but one piece of crumpled paper caught her eye. Getting a closer look she picked up the paper and inspected it.
A symbol was crudely drawn on it.
A symbol she had yet to mention to any of the locals.
The Symbol she used to work under.
The Symbol that belonged to those...
God
Damned
Spooks.
?
im not extremly knolageable of halo so whos symbol?
10504181
ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence), I would assume

It's ONI, the spys and information gathers of the UNSC. You can read about them here, https://www.halopedia.org/Office_of_Naval_Intelligence.
10504181
Spook is a term generally used for operatives of the office of Naval intelligence (ONI) and as for the symbol they are probably referring to this one halopedia.org/images/thumb/4/40/Promo_Kilo-5_Patch.jpeg/1200px-Promo_Kilo-5_Patch.jpeg

ONI: Office of Naval Intelligence

I Like how we have all collectively come together to teach fox Halo lore XD
10504200
It is our duty to pass on to the young the sacred knowledge of halo lore
10504200
I LOLed and cried very hard when I read this. How is it possible for us to have the same wavelength on this!?!?
Spooks already on Equestria? I find that very interesting
How in the Heck is ONI there!?
10504200
thankyou
God damn it ONI! Leave the poor ponies alone! Especially the cute Pegasus Spartan!
I did call it when I said that Six would know the agents of SMILE spying on her!
Ah yes ONI i do Hope they appear soon.
Oh no the FUCKING GODDARD DAMNED SPOOKS have decided to show their faces.
Get the UCPWS Tremble, I want her fully armed with nukes in case the spooks do something stupid.
Hmmmmm.... ONI is here...
I dont think it's their full presence. Maybe just one reincarnated human.
Yay!
Eh, she's not wrong
10504282
Possibly the same way a Spartan is
I saw that coming. I bet any who are there work for Luna.
Perhaps they use Luna to spy on Six in her dreams?
My guesses are Pinky, Twilight, or Discord.
10503680
High five without hand be like
10504364
10504890
Or luna or cadence...hmmm season 2 time period sooo...hmmm I think Luna, as she is a princess on the same level as Celestia and she could gain knowledge through dreams, and not be IN THE ROOM OR EXAMINING HER OR HER STUFF IN HER LIVING QUARTERS but in her mind.. Hahahahahahaha loop hole are wonderful and suck. :)
Six didn’t really care however and with nothing better to do, she pulled out her knife and began to sharpen it against her armor, much to the guards and Wild’s dismay. The gentle scratch of metal against metal filled the room as a palpable tension began to grow in the room.
the chapter hasnt even started yet and im dying already
She looks about as threatening as a kitten.
just like i imagined you took it xD
what the spooks are alredy on equestria, did not see that one comming Oo
That’s horrendous disrespect to your armour, and if Six were to be seen doing so would be reprimanded highly. Doesn’t matter if the equipment can’t be damaged from doing so, you treat it with respect because it’s literally keeping you from dying.
In any military, you’re expected to keep your equipment well-maintained, expected to respect it. Your weapons and armour keep you alive, your other equipment aid them in doing so. To blatantly disrespect your equipment by sharpening a knife against your armour, or by using your gun as a crutch, it’s... not okay. Again, even if the equipment can handle it and won’t be damaged, you shouldn’t do it.
If he was about to say “you whelp”, that’s a Luna thing.
It’s... odd to me that Celestia is thinking of trying to go behind Six’s back. Not to say she’s a saint, but she’s not that kind of deceptive. She’s diplomatic and political, with a silver tongue, not... go-behind-your-back.
It’s also actually quite odd this deal was made right off the bat. I would’ve expected more questions from Celestia, even if she couldn’t ask the more pressing ones.
10505624
Didn't Noble Four/Emile DID the same thing when he Sharpens his Kukri Knife back in Reach and showed in the Game itself. I think Noble Six wants to copy and honor her Fallen Spartan Teammate/"Friend".
10505628
That Dumb Guard would have to eat his own words IF he knows what Noble Six is truly capable of with her Strength/Speed and Fighting Abilities. And by that with Six could BREAK his bones to paste if she is serious and mad. 😈
Besides, Noble Six is NOT a subject or have a alignment with the Princesses and the Pony Kingdom. And Celestia DOESN'T have an Commanding Authority to a Spartan like Noble Six. Since Six is from a DIFFERENT Military/Government/Country/Planet than the Ponies Government/Miltary/Planet. I don't see on WHY Six will obey a Foreign Leader like Celestia of all People/Pony.
And your right on about Celestia being OOC by trying to go behind Noble Six back. But, that's a TERRIBLE IDEA for Celestia to do!!!! Because Noble Six will make Celestia, and Luna to REGRET on trying to steal UNSC/ONI secrets.
10505963
We are however dealing with a wartime scenario where every advantage is needed and they still don't know the full extent of Six's lethality. War is always about winning and if you had an apparent 'Supersoldier' helping you out with technology still on the drawing board in R&D you will, of course, want it to try and make more.
Basically, as all national leaders, they will want every advantage in wartime. Sure it's a Terrible Idea cause pissing off a spartan is never good but they don't know her like we do. And I would expect Celestia to do the same as every leader when faced with war.
I hope what I'm saying makes sense as to why I had Celestia act the way she acted in this chapter
10506019
But still, that will also screwed her over. I mean the UNSC/ONI themselves, if they were in Equestria like Noble Six. WOULDN'T want some Naive Ponies to learn the secrets of the Spartan Armor, Guns and Weapons, or the Super Soldier Augmentation Formula. I get that the MLP Ponies are NOT Evil like the Covenant, and are a "Good" Species, and could be Friendly Allies to Humanity. But, I don't like them trying to learn or Steal some Top Secret Stuff of Humanity. And Pissing Off the UNSC/ONI and the Spartans is a BAD/TERRIBLE Idea for Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight, and her Friends to do.
It's like A Double Edge Sword situation, and Celestia SHOULDN'T make a Enemy out of Noble Six or the UNSC, ONI and Humanity in general.
I hope Luna DOESN'T get involved. Because all she is doing is pissing off Six. And having Her, Celestia and Possibly the Main Six be Horribly Shocked and Tramitazed if they learn about the Human-Covenant War, with the HEAVILY DEATH TOLL and DESTRUCTION while trying to invaded Noble Six's memories.
HAHAHAHA O.N.I. YOU SONS OF BITCHES! Thay was good. That was hilarious. Looks like we got UNSC and ONI personal on Equus now. Oh this just make things so much better.
So she wasn't the only one brought from Reach to Equestria? Somebody from ONI maybe?
10505937
I don't believe he did, no. There's a difference between wiping off a weapon and sharpening it. It's possible he was wiping it off on his armour, which is not that bad given it's better for the blood and stuff to be on your armour than on your weapon, as if it's on the weapon it can dull it.
10505963
I was saying that the guard saying "you whelp" isn't what ponies do. That's olden speech, only Luna says stuff like that (or other ponies using olden speech), not Guards. As for Six being able to break his bones; just because she can doesn't mean she would, or should.
Of course, she doesn't have any affiliation with the ponies at all. Her rank doesn't even mean anything in the pony military. In pony society, she's a civilian that doesn't have citizenship in Equestria. Six doesn't have to follow any commands from any high-ranking official in pony society as a result, but it's in her best interest to. Same reason anyone from a different country could come into USA and refuse commands from a police officer or military CO, but it's in their best interests to follow said commands because they can still recieve punishment including deportation. As said, Six is just a civilian in pony society atm, with no citizenship. She has no authority over any pony.
So, you aying Celestia doesn't have command authority over Six is true in the military sense of the word. But Celestia does have authority over Six as a ruler to a civilian. Celestia cannot command Six in the way a CO can command a subordinate, but she can mete out punishment from a ruler to a civilian.
It is indeed a terrible thing to do, and while it's OOC imo for Celestia to go behind Six's back like that. Celestia's priority is to protect the ponies of Equestria as its ruler, so she needs to gauge Six as a threat, but not while endangering the ponies.
10506019
Of course, but the problem here is as I said in my comment, Celestia is diplomatic and political. She uses her words. She's not the type to go behind other's back. Plus, I personally would doubt that Celestia - and even Luna - are the type that would want to go for the type of tech Six has, given the general disposition of ponies. Non-lethal, diplomatic, all that kind of stuff.
It's a huge risk for Celestia to try to go behind Six's back as well. This hyper-lethal vector could turn on them at any moment from Celestia's PoV. She should be trying diplomatic options, not trying to go behind the Spartan's back to get what she wants, because that's how you wind up with a powerful enemy. Ponies aren't like humans who will do that at the drop of the hat just to figure out how something ticks to use it for themselves.
Celestia isn't like every leader. She's the ruler of a nation that has experienced peace for 1000 years. No other nation in the real world can claim the same. Hell, no other nation in Equestria can really claim that either given their portrayal. Such a leader doesn't need highly military options (hence why the RG looks more ceremonial than anything). Plus, the current changeling crises can't really be classified as a war yet. That requires a declaration from either party. The reason it requires a declaration is that if it were a group not associated with the nation/species in question then mistakes could be made.
I highly doubt Celestia would want to declare war so soon. She'd want to figure out ways to solve the problem, but declaring war would be a final resort for her, because it would mean breaking the peace that Equestria has and putting stress over every pony in Equestria.
You can't expect Celestia to be like leaders you know, you have to go off how she acts canonically, which can be difficult I know, but it's the best you can do. She isn't like leaders you know.
It is your story, however, so if you want ponies to be more militaristic as you seem to be going for, I can't stop you.
10506557
Can I hire you?
10507052
What? Why? Lol
Dam. So earthians, did go to equestria at some point. Those dam spooks. Well guess someone isn't too happy about it. What is the spooks are apart of the Royal guard, or are secretly hiding say in orbit and has made a secret contact with the equestrians.
Dam I'm like pinkie sometimes.
So, how many secret, horribly unethical, politically-inspired experiments on living beings are going on in Equestria? I have to imagine that anyone from ONI would be frothing at the mouth to dissect a live unicorn to see how magic works. And of course one mid-cast, one who is drained from casting too much, young, old, so on and so forth. ONI is a den of monsters, but they're scientifically thorough monsters...
OK we are at chapter 15. I think this is a good point for me to offer some criticism. Keep in mind I nitpick because I like it and I care.
First of all I am not too familiar with Halo lore beyond the games themselves. So for example things like how a Spartan should be expected to behave and the type of personality that is cultivated during their training is something I'm not familiar with, so it's possible some of the problems I have are actually fine by the lore.
Also I want to write fanfics one day but I haven't really published anything yet, so take anything I recommend with a grain of salt.
So it seems to me there are two main issues I am seeing,
The first is the story seems to drive the characters, as opposed to the characters driving the story. Take the conversation between the Princess and Six. It feels (to me) like it's more they're rushing through a series of dialog points rather than having a conversation. It feels rushed, and allowing the characters to meander through the conversation might have been better. For example, the SMILE spies come up right away, whereas it might have been better to have Six and Celstia introduce themselves to each other in a longer form and Celestia ask her questions about where she came from, her armor, what ONI/UNSC is, etc, and Six can then reveal she is not surprised by some of the questions since she knows about the SMILE spy., so trying to intimidate her (probably not Celestia's intent, but Six might think so) won't work.
And about the spies, I don't think we actually see Six detect them? Unless I forgot it. Either way it should actually be shown happening in the story and the text should dwell on it long enough so the reader knows it's an important detail and won't forget it. You can write anything you want, so it doesn't make sense to only describe an important story point happening "off-camera" when you could have easily shown it happening.
Part of Six's personality makes no sense to me. First, she seems willing to obey a foreign military that she has no allegiance to. Her actions during the fighting are fine, but afterwards she had no reason to go along with anything they might want tp order her to do, and could have simply responded she wasn't under their jurisdiction. It's not like they could force her to go anywhere in her armor (as far as she believes, at least).
But maybe you want her to just have respect for military in general. I'd also say maybe she gained respect after watching them fight but it sounds like they sucked from the reports the Princess was getting. But let's say this makes sense somehow. She then shows complete disrespect for the princess which is inconsistent here. Maybe the intent was Six sees her as a civilian and maybe she doesn't respect civilian authority,, but as a ruler is generally leader of the military that doesn't really fit I think. Maybe Six assumes there's a King or Queen somewhere who are the actual military authority, but given how Celestia is talking it should be clear she is. If you want to bring Celestia and Six into conflict, again, try to drive it through their characters. Maybe Celestia, who never has experienced conflict on the scale of the Covenant Human War, is talking with Six about war experiences as an attempt to build bonds and accidentally reveals her ignorance, which pisses Six off.
Another example of story driving characters into doing things that don't make too much sense is the agreement between Celestia and Six. Celestia knows Six can kill changelings, but she has NO IDEA what the Spartan can really do... is she going to expect her to fight a war herself? Only the story knows she can, but Celestia shouldn't!! It makes more sense Celestia would ask her to help train her army to be more effective fighters... then if/when Six tries to find her way home and leaves Equestria, Celestia got something permanent out of the arrangement. Of course you don't want this to happen in your story, so you need to find some reason it shouldn't. Maybe Equestria's "army" are just police forces and guards, not suited for waging war, and Equestrians, as a prey species (eg ponies!), don't like to kill, so Celestia wants Six to do her dirty work.
And Six needs motivation for accepting. She owes nothing to Celestia or Equestria. In fact she is duty-bound to try and return home. If Celestia offered to help her to do so and Six was aware she had few other options, it would make more sense for Six to accept. But no conversation like this happens before she accepts.
The second main point is Six's goals seem a bit fuzzy so it's hard to see where the story is going. We do get confirmation here that Six is going to help win a changeling war, But again, shouldn't she want to get home? The beginning of the story is ok here, she wants to find a settlement and re-establish communication with the UNSC or ONI. Makes sense. Then she runs into the middle of a battle and decides to help. Also makes sense, assuming she is REAL SUIRE she's helping the "good guys" (for all she knows ponies are the bad guys!) But then once the fighting is over, I would expect her to re-focus on what she's going to do next about trying to re-establish communications with USNC. Maybe she wants to continue research to see if the Covenant have ever been to Equestria, and look for tech she can scrounge together to help her. Or she stumbles across references to magic spells she thinks could help her and tries to track down someone who could use them to get her home. Going with a foreign military to which she owes nothing, to Canterlot for no reason that she is told, doesn't make too much sense. Though it wouldn't be too hard to fix if she had a good reason (eg she knows Princess wants to see her, probably not a good first impression of humanity to blow her off, so Six goes).
Ultimately giving her a goal of helping win the war is good, but it also needs personal stakes for Six, for which there are currently none. If Celestia promises to get her home, now there are stakes. She could even get some more stakes as the story evolves, Maybe she goes into a fight expecting it to be as easy as all the others and she gets totally wrecked due to not knowing how to combat magic, and her opponent having watched her fight can avoid underestimating her. Now she has the motive of revenge to help drive her and the reader wants to see her get it.
I have a bunch of smaller points, but I'll just say Six should have snapped back that SHE is a dangerous weapon when her escort told her to put her knife away because it was dangerous.
Also I like the bit at the end of this chapter, it has potential.
10506216
Pretty soon the Covenant are gonna find Eques and humanity and Pony kind must unite to protect the planet.

I always wondered why people always write the spooks as these gods a deception, when they’ve never been shown as such, and have usually been the exact opposite, with the only thing scary about them is that they can write off and disappear whatever they want, whenever they want. But the people themselves have really only been shown as in incompetent , average, or drunk with power.
10528315
I know - gender can go both ways for these kind of characters - I'm just used to the male version of Noble Six is all.
10505628
The revelation of an ONI symbol on that piece of paper suggests there's been another transformed human in Celestia's employ for a while now. So I doubt Six has as much secret information as she believes she does. Which means it's not surprising the conversation moved that swiftly.
The ONI agent would have most likely advised Celestia to be quick, concise, and straight to the point. An honest agreement with the Spartan would hold more weight than any signed document or declaration of fealty, no matter how apparently heartfelt. Agreeing quickly would play to the Spartan's mental weakness. She hates complexity. Give her a straightforward solution, and everything flows from that.
As for the ONI agent... Maybe a Cortana copy? We know Halsey made several flash-copies of herself, but only one was considered an unqualified success. That one went with Master Chief. But what if another Cortana clone, one who didn't "make it" was reincarnated on Equestria?
10538529
I highly, highly doubt an ONI agent is in contact with Celestia. Another human-turned-pony, plausible, but not an ONI agent. I'm not denying there may be an ONI present - or an offshoot - in Equestria, but given how Celestia acted right from the first scene with her, there's no indication full stop, no hint, that she's in contact with a human person.
10539127
It's why I suggested a "less successful" flash clone of Cortana, reincarnated as a pony following the glassing of Reach. She's independent, knows a lot about the war and the ONI response, and is a neural copy of a woman who was pivotal in creating the SPARTAN program. She also would feel less restrained by UNSC law, especially if she realized 1) she wasn't going back, and 2) she had a whole life to live now, and not just five years (or less) inside a decaying alien computer system.

That was 2’s. Almost all 3’s were orphans.
