Aviza, who had been sitting in one of the seats near the front of the Gunship, quickly stood up and moved to the cockpit to view the massive UNSC city as they broke through the mesosphere. As soon as the moisture cone on the front of the Pelican dissipated, the whole gunship slightly jolted from the rapid deceleration. The pilots were quickly making adjustments on their control panels to compensate for this, though Aviza had barely noticed. She was more focused on the view of Sydney than slight turbulence, after all, flights in Pelicans were rarely smooth. The co-pilot glanced over at Aviza, who meet his gaze through her visor before speaking in the all to common emotionless and cold tone that most disciplined soldiers of the UNSC had. [color=ed1c24]"Spartan Aviza, we will be landing shortly."[/color] Aviza silently left the cockpit, moving to the rear of the Gunship before reaching above her head and pulling on the rear doors control mechanism. The two part door slid open, half of it moving upwards, while the other half moved downwards, creating a ramp that could be used to enter and exit the Gunship. As soon as the pressurized interior had been unsealed, a deafening roar surrounded Aviza. The Pelicans engines, even though having their power greatly reduced, were still creating an incredible amount of thrust. [color=ed1c24]"You still with us Spartan Aviza?"[/color] asked the Co-Pilot as he glanced into the rear of the Pelican. What he saw was Aviza holding onto a safety bar above her head with her left hand, gripping it tightly. The Spartan turned her head to the left or to the right every few short moments, taking in the birds eye view of the city they were now entering, from the rear of the Gunship. [color=ed1c24]"What goes through that woman's head?"[/color] thought the co-pilot as he returned to focusing on the control panel in front of him. Landing Pad [AZ-188] had been assigned to them before they even entered the atmosphere, and now the brightly blinking lights upon it could be seen coming into view. The Pelican pitched up slightly to prepare for landing, its VTOL engines had their positions adjusted to ensure a gentle and accurate landing. Aviza felt the gunship shake lightly before the main pilot informed her that they had touched down and it was safe for her to depart. The interior lighting that had been flooded with red and blue had changed to a soft green and white, reinforcing the pilots statement. The hum of the Pelicans engines powering down was an oddly comforting sound to Aviza, she did not fully understand why but pushed the thought aside, there were more important things at hand. Just as she had expected, two ONI personnel were waiting at the exit of the landing pad, wearing full armor and equipment, their sleek black outfits and their militaresque stance sending a message to any other UNSC or civilians in the area. After approaching the two ONI personnel, they both saluted Spartan Aviza before who she assumed to be the leader addressed her. [color=ed1c24]"Spartan Aviza, please follow us to the UNSC Headquarters."[/color] Aviza did not speak, she merely nodded her head once tailed behind the two ONI personnel as they began walking. As they made their way through Sydney, Aviza took notice at how quickly and how well the city had been rebuilt after the war, it was an impressive sight, and a testament to how humankind could rebound after such extreme losses. [color=ed1c24]"Spartan Aviza, a number of other members from Aegis team have already arrived. My superior has informed me that you will find them in the atrium of HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6."[/color] Once more, Aviza did not reply, but merely nodded her head once in acknowledgement, though the ONI personnel had their backs turned to her and would not see this gesture. Once they arrived at the massive towering building, Aviza could not see through the heavily tinted glass that hid the UNSC Headquarters interior. The two ONI Personnel approached the doors of the building and opened them for Spartan Aviza with a salute, which they held until she had stepped inside, far enough for them to close the doors and return to their normal duties. Once inside, Aviza felt the all to familiar rush of cold air that came from the interior of buildings of the such. She had disabled her suits internal environmental systems at the moment, seeing no need to have them on unless actively deployed. [color=00aeef]"One Mgalekgolo Hunter, two Sangheili, one Unggoy, two Spartans."[/color] Aviza took mental note, she would have to review the biological information for the Alien species present, just in case they needed medical attention somewhere down the line. Stepping forward into the group that had gathered in the atrium of HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, Aviza bowed slightly in acknowledgement and respect to Aegis Team before speaking, [color=00aeef]"Spartan Aviza Morgenstern, an honor to meet all of you this morning."[/color] If one looked close enough at her [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mjolnir_Powered_Assault_Armor/Argus]Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor/Argus [GEN2][/url], they would notice the small advanced medical emblem upon the upper left part of her chest armor.
