Chapter 5: An Old Friend, And A New Journey

9 days 2 hours after John's disappearance
[3rd]
She walked through the halls to the science lab where the 'Eggheads' responsible for Project Omega worked. When she found out about his 'accident', she was livid, not just mad, but absolutely livid. Well, maybe that's taking it a bit too far. Maybe. Anyway, as soon as she found out about his 'death', she stopped what she was doing and went straight after them wanting answers. She walked through the halls and made it to where they were. Opening the door, she walked in and found only one scientist there.
“What happened to him?!”
Startled, the scientist turned around to see who was there to yell at him this time.
“What? Oh, it's you. I'm not surprised you're here. You were rather attached to him after all.”
“Tell me what happened to him.”
“When testing the experimental teleportation system, something went wrong and he disappeared.”
“Where is he?”
“We don't know. There is a tracking system to help us find the suit when this happens but we can't pick up the signal. We were sure we had fixed it this time too.”
“What do you mean this time?”
“When we test it, sometimes the suit ends up on another planet. Sometimes it is across the room. When originally testing teleporter technology, sometimes the system causes what ever is being teleported to just vanish or kill the test subject. We fixed the fatality problem with the teleporter but we still find it ending up in the wrong spot. We once found it on Mars in a trench, took weeks before anyone found it. That's why we added a homing beacon. We can't find him though and there are no reports of his beacon on any of the other planets.”
“And you are just going to give up? Just like that?”
“Yes, nothing we can do about it. He is gone. The suit with him.”
“Well, I'm not giving up. I am going to find him if it's the last thing I do.”
“How will you find him? He could be anywhere. How are you even going to travel? ONI won't fund an expedition to find him.”
“Simple, all I have to do is look for something that we haven't found before and, most likely, forerunner." 'It's always forerunner with John.' She mused to herself. "As to by what means, I'm taking the UNSC Midnight Dawn to find him.”
“What!? You can't take the Midnight Dawn! It's top secret, nearly as secret as the Spartan program. How did you even find out about that? There is no way they are going to let you go on a wild goose chase looking for a bag of bones in a suit of armor with an Infinity-Class Warship!"
“I know about every single project you all are working on, and I'm not going to ask them. I'll just take it and if you tell anyone or try to stop me, well, you can just use your imagination. He is out there, I know it.”
With her talk finished, and an objective found, she started for the door but heard him speak up one last time before she left.
“Good luck Cortana. You’ll need it.”
“He's all the luck I need.”

Courts is mad!
4758605 yes. Do you think she would be good to add to the story. She won't find him immediately and the chapters that have her will be mostly short details about her search for him.
4758696 well they will keep each other stable
4758696 I think you should add her to the story, even though the chapters just about her would just be detailing her search for the Chief.
4758696 She should look for him for like 1-2 chapters, then she discovers the wormhole that got him there, and while going through the ship breaks up destroying her body, however she transfers herself into an AI chip that survives and is then found by chief in the wreakage
4760401 two problems with that. 1, i need the ship to stay working. B, he did not go through a wormhole. And third, that wouldn't work anyway. I'm not saying why because spoilers.
4760452 he has flight and teleportation he doesnt need a ship... ok since he didnt go through a wormhole then after the ship teleports there it just blows up from an emp pulse of magic, that they sent p to try to push it away from the planet and cortana still gets to the planet through an AI chip and Chief and Corts are reunited
4760635 I'm not blowing the ship. Besides, that wouldn't even work.
4762188 the ship would make him way to OP
4762420 the purpose of the ship is not to make him op. Just trust me and wait.
4762760 What would a ship do, besides get him reunited with the UNSC?
4762965 I don't know yet. That point of the story is still being planned out.
4762974 If he is reunited then their protocalls with force him to leave and then the planet will be colonized in like a year, so I really don't see anything good coming from the ship. Since he can do everything the ship can.
4763260
Im sorry, you had a valid argument up until this point. He can not
Fly faster than light
Blow up a planet
Fire mass acceleration cannon
Transport an army, weaponry, and vehicles
Leave the atmosphere
And many other things. Yes, I understand your point. But the ship stays. Not necessarily for those reasons, but it stays.
4763498 Ok so the ship is a fuckton bigger then I thought it was, is it like a cruiser? Cause a MAC would be on a pretty damn big ship, but why would he need to leave the planet? Or carry an army? And teleporting is faster then light.
4763667 it is a big ship. Infinity class. And the teleporter is short range. I don't know what he will do with the ship yet, but I know what cortana will do with it for now
4763782 I still don't like the ship idea, it could very easily turn into an unstoppable juggernaut spartan with no conflict. Like to go somewhere he just jumps in the ship, I like it when there is a sense of adventure, and danger in the journeys and battles he faces.
4764825 while that is understandable, i am not blowing up the ship. And as the story stands, it won't be constant adventure and will shift to more of a slice of life kind of story. Yes, this story is over 1500 years before the show takes place but i plan on getting to that point. And with the story i have planed, he will likely need the ship. Now, about the ship. If you thought mc was op, consider the ship op×10^23. It is op but it won't be a duse ex object. However, did you really think that i would have master chief appear on a random planet and not follow how things work with him. If you did, you missed the foreshadowing because you spent your time worrying about the ship.
4764957 What if he only uses the ship when he really needs it, and it is stored under the Castle of the Two Sisters? also, is Chief going to be doing this undercover? Or in plain sight?
4765162 ok, the ship is too big to place under the castle. The ship is about the size if the infinity.(although it's not quite as linear) It will be in orbit like what req did. As for keeping the ship under wraps, not sure. I'll probably flip a coin or something.
4765196 Ok, but if Chief is doing the guardian thing, and he isn't keeping it secret, then that could really mess up the mane six's lives, and history as the show told it. The princesses could of had to claim credit for what Chief did.
This is au, the whole timeline is FUBAR. Things will still happen, but not quite the same. Like when rarity gets captured by the diamond dogs, chief can use Promethean vision to find her faster. I plan to stay on target most of the time. Did you expect a half ton Spartan to show up and NOT affect the story?
Our Editor mention this story so here I am!
4765296 So he is going to deal with every little thing? Like cats stuck in trees and such too?
4821744 Not exactly, I am still deciding what I am going to do with him long term. Do i plan to add him into the daily lives of the main 6, not likely. Is it possible? Yes, yes it is. I can tell you this, there will be no saving cats in trees. Punting cats is a possibility, but also not likely. You will see.
4821584 I understood it too. Does that mean we are both crazy or is it just me?
4821910 He should be a secret helper who the Mane 6 never know about, and Active Camo is his best friend
4822953 won't work, you will see. Much later.
So Cortana is going to take a 12 kilometre long ship that can run on a minimal crew of 50 000 people,
Alone?
That's pretty badass
Prity mutch.
