[color=fff200]“Stations in sight, we’ll be touched down in just a few minutes.”[/color]

Adam stood up from his seat in the back of the Pelican and walked up into the cockpit. He looked out over the station, but more importantly the Infinity-Class Supercarrier docked at its side. He knew it was the reason he was here. His contacts at ONI were able to let him know he’d been selected for a High Priority mission. Besides that, though, no one knew too much. It wasn’t long after he discovered his selection he was delivered orders to hitch a ride on the Charon-class frigate Forward Momentum. 

The Pelican flew into one of the Hangars and set down gently, the rear hatch opening for Adam to step out. He was already in his armor, the GEN 2 Warrior Variant. Which was commonly used, but his had definitely seen its share of combat. A few Engineers paid a curious stare as the lone Spartan stepped out of the pelican an onto the hangar floor with a thud. Though they quickly went back to their work. Adam looked around and quickly met the gaze of a man standing in a tall dark ONI uniform. He recognized the man as one of his superiors. 

[color=f7941d]“Didn’t expect to see you here, Sir”[/color] Adam said as he approached the man.

[color=ed1c24]“I didn’t want to be here,”[/color] He replied as he handed Adam a data-pad. [color=ed1c24]“Walk with me.” 
[/color]

Adam took it and began scrolling through its contents as he walked. There wasn’t a lot of context or detail, and it didn’t tell him much more than what he already knew. Aside from the fact the he wasn’t the only one selected, and that he would indeed be reporting to the Solares.

[color=f7941d]“This doesn’t tell me much,”[/color] Adam said as he handed the data-pad back.

[color=ed1c24]“You’ll know everything you need to know when you need to know it.”[/color]

[color=f7941d]“That’s a very ONI thing to say.”[/color]

The two continued to walk in silence after that, the corridors filled with plenty of ears that could hear anything they said. Adam assumed that’s why their conversation had been so absent. They continued through the station until they arrived at the section that was off-limits to standard personnel. They stopped at a door, which opened shortly after the agent was scanned. Which led to another hallway that eventually led them through an operations room, and then into another hallway. This hallway was surprisingly empty, and at that point the agent turned to Adam.

[color=ed1c24]“All I can tell you, is that the higher-ups chose you first and foremost because of your connection to ONI. They will try to use you to accomplish whatever goals their after, goals not even I have a remote sense of knowing.”[/color]

Adam thought to himself for a moment. It was true that ONI had taken a certain disliking to him after he stepped down from being an active operative. He committed himself more to military aspects of the UNSC, especially since the events of Requiem, and the Forerunners.  He looked towards the door on the other side of the hallway, marked just in front of it was [A1-33] the hangar he assumed he’d be meeting others like him at. 

[color=f7941d]“I can handle ONI, not like we’re on different sides right,” [/color]Adam smirked as he looked down towards the man next to him. 

[color=ed1c24]“Good luck.”[/color]

Adam stepped forward towards the blast doors. They hissed as the slowly retracted to either side. Despite the cryptic warning he had sort of been given, he was ready to get into some action. He’d been idle for too long, and it was starting to make him stir-crazy.  Serving on the Solares, on some top-secret mission couldn’t help but get him a little excited. He stepped through the door as it finally had opened enough to accommodate his size. He immediately saw another Spartan standing ahead of him. He could tell she was female and wore an Argus type armor. Also ahead of him were two more ONI operatives. It was already becoming apparent to the importance of the mission he was about to embark on. He stepped up besides the other Spartan and turned back to face the door. 

[color=f7941d]“Adam,”[/color] He introduced as he crossed him arms to wait with her.
