	After breaking off from the rest of Aegis Team, Spartan Aviza made a direct path towards the nearest UNSC medic's location that could attend to her head injury. The thought of having a Sangheili tend to the head injury had crossed her mind for the briefest of seconds, but the Spartan knew of their customs and that doing so would most likely reflect poorly upon her and perhaps any who assisted. In truth, she could have taken care of it herself but after the blood loss and continued strain she had put onto the area, it was decided that having someone else tend to the injury was in the best of her interest. 

inside of the armory of the Hekar Taa Pattern Blockade Runner, a group of UNSC Marines had been rather loudly conversing with each other about the battle that was about to happen, and wondering were they would be deployed. Though, as soon as the heavy sounding footfalls from Aviza could be heard coming down the hallway towards them, one of the Marines peaked his head out of the armory to investigate the source of the noise. Upon seeing Spartan Aviza, the Marine quickly pulled himself back into the armory and informed the rest of his squad that they were about to have company. 

The Marines had done their best to act nonchalantly about Spartan Aviza entering the Armory, but the appearance of the burn marks upon her armor drew their curiosity. The squad leader quickly turned to face Aviza and gave her a stiff salute while addressing her, [color=ed1c24]"Spartan."[/color] He would then take a more relaxed stance before continuing, [color=ed1c24]"Do you need any assistance? Looks like you may have taken a few hits down there."[/color] 

Spartan Aviza quickly responded to the posed question, [color=00aeef]"I require a medic to tend to a head injury."[/color] Her gaze turning to the UNSC medic as she spoke. Without saying a word, the medic quickly grabbed onto his advanced first-aid kit and asked Aviza to take a seat on a nearby bench.

Aviza's glanced over to the bench that the medic had asked her to take a seat upon. She was a bit worried about breaking it upon then shrugged it off, doing as was request of her. After taking a seat in the middle of the bench, she carefully removed her helmet and placed it down upon her right side. The medic quickly began to inspect the head injury, while speaking to the Spartan, [color=ed1c24]"If I may ask, how did you sustain this injury? It will help me tend to it."[/color] Aviza's azure blue eyes glanced up at medic before she responded, [color=00aeef]"Needler Rifle hit to the head."[/color] 

The medic now had a look of surprise upon his face, [color=ed1c24]"You are very lucky you did not come out of that much worse, as I am sure you know. Your armor took most of the blast, but there is still a significant injury here, let alone a concussion."[/color] There was a moments pause before Aviza responded, [color=00aeef]"I am aware, will you be able to attend to the injury fully or should I head elsewhere for more in-depth help?"[/color] The medic nodded his head once lightly, [color=ed1c24]"I can, but it will take time, just relax and I will have you ready before your next mission."[/color]

The Spartan held perfectly still while the medic tended to her head injury, letting her mind wander on what had transpired so quickly in such a short amount of time. 

She was unsure how much time passed, but the medic had finished his work after some stitches, pokes with needles, and some other less invasive medical treatments. During all of this, the other Marines in the room had left to give the two of them privacy, so the medic could work in peace without any distractions. [color=ed1c24]"That is everything I can do with the equipment provided, my advice is to take it easy and try not to take a Needler Rifle round to the head again."[/color] said the medic, as she moved to his feet and made a few notes in his datapad for medical reasons. [color=ed1c24]"You are all clear Spartan Aviza, if you need anything else, please let me know."[/color] Spartan Aviza moved to her feet and looked over her helmet, it still had the blast marks upon it from the Needler Rifle, she had decided that she liked the battle damaged look more than the clean version. 

Now moving to her feet, she turned to face the medic that had expertly tended to her injury and spoke, [color=00aeef]"Thank you for your assistance Marine, it is appreciated."[/color] Much to the Marines surprise, Aviza lightly patted the man on his head a few times before turning to leave, vanishing around the corner. The Marine medic was left stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, [color=ed1c24]"Wait, what just happened?"[/color]

Heading back down the hallway she had come from, Aviza used the HUD built into her helmet to triple check if she had everything she needed for when they were forced to fight on foot. Thankfully she did, though now instead of a MA40 Assault Rifle, she now had a M739 SAW, which felt right at home among her loadout. There was a few more things to do before she could consider herself ready to finish what they had started.

After making her way through the halls of the ship once more, Aviza found herself within the hanger of the Hekar Taa Pattern Blockade Runner. The Spartan stood below her own personal heavily modified Theseus Command Mantis, which she had requested to be moved for use in the up and coming war. After a few moments of looking over the Mantis, a UNSC Engineer moved to her side then spoke in a rough sounding voice, [color=ed1c24]"She is prepped and ready for combat, Spartan Aviza, good luck out there."[/color] The UNSC Engineer then moved to work on something else.

Wasting no time, Spartan Aviza climbed up and into the Theseus Command Mantis, securing her position inside of it while the rest of Aegis Team started to flood in. [color=00aeef]"Alright Shihi, help me run a full systems check on the Theseus."[/color] [i]said[/i] Aviza as she began making sure everything would function to the best of its abilities. Her HUD informed her that the Theseus Command Mantis's main systems were working, but she would have to check the weapons systems manually while Shihi took care of other things within the Mech. [color=00aeef]"Right arms M655 Anti-Material Machinegun is green, left arms Heavy Incinerator is green, right shoulders Smart Rocket Pod is green, left shoulders M149 Recoilless Rifle is green, all weapon systems are operational."[/color] Aviza nodded her head in approval.

Repositioning herself into a more comfortable position within the Theseus Command Mantis, Spartan Aviza watched as others began to mount up into their vehicles, preparing for war. It was at that time that she saw Tar raise her carbine above her head and give a warcry before taking a turret in a Wraith. Opening the teams coms, Aviza would reach out to the Sangheili, [color=00aeef]"Well said Tar, watch yourself down there on the field of battle. I am currently ready to deploy, just awaiting our signal."[/color]
