[Yeah, he was not the best at this...but hes trying.] Sounds like a plan then. And you do art on casings, hmm? Interesting. [He didnt want to mess this up, but he went with it anyways] Anyone ever told you how cute you are, Cal?

Well, I wanted to go here. But, looking back at the mountain. [He looked into her eyes, and then turned back around and looked at the nice view]

Had another funeral and memorial to attend, and then I was back on deployment. [He sighed, looking back at Mt Kilimanjaro....his eyes had a bit of water to them] I just wish they were here to see this, Earth. They never got to see her beauty...

Have you had more than just black tea? Or was it just poorly made black tea? [He gave a soft giggle at Hana]

Thank you Kara. [He started to get up, offering her a hand to get up] But this is something I needed to see....I wasnt around here when they made this monument. [Another sigh that was gentle, before looking away]

" So, there is a killer on S-Deck. " He sighed snd looked at Winne again, locking eyes on her. He would take a bite from the food on his plate. " And no one has found out who it is? " He would move slightly in his chair, looking around to see everyone here. " Thats...not good to hear. "

More than friends. Family. They were my fireteam, Beta Gold. 098 is still here, apart of the new Gold Team...the other two didnt make it past the war. Damian-122 was killed when escorting a civilian convoy to their extraction...and Crystal-022 sacrificed her life to allow Marines, Misha and I to-

They say us Spartans never die, thats we only go missing in action. [He looked at the photo one last time, taking it down and handing it to her] Ive seen Spartans die in the battlefield...yet we never die to the civilians. [The picture had three young men and one woman. The left had a younger-

As long as us Spartans are around, you wont. [He looked up at her, grabbing his M392 Bandit] We know your weaknesses, Kryptonian

Here, its for that and drinking. And you didn't conquer this planet. [He looked up at this Kara, his bluish silver visor locking onto her]

Do you want me to get in my MJOLNIR and grab my M99S2A3 SASR Stanchion? You know it will hit you hard-

We made this after the War...for those who gave their lives to defend humanity. [He walked closer to the memorial, holding what looked like two dogtags...and a patch of a logo. He placed them upon the memorial, and added one more thing: a picture of 4 younger adults, all in armor....]

[Not long after leaving the Pelican, he would walk up to a platform...the UNSC Logo on it...a bunch of flowers...pictures...and rifles... He grabbed something from his pocket, and looked doen at his hand] This is what I needed to see...this memorial..

Its hard to tell with you sometimes, Kara. [He would start to pilot the Pelican again, and start the landing process...it seemed they were in a grassy field...short grass.]

I never said it was a good idea, nor the kidnappings. All I said is most of us do not regret what we became. [He looked back at her, crossing his arms with annoyance] Thats all I mean

So, die during the invasion of Concord, die from joining the UNSC Marines, or die when Earth got invaded in 2552. [He would sit down, clearly a bit pissed off] Yes, some of us could have chosen better lives, but some of us could have literally killed not long after due to the Covenant attacking-

Well...she IS the reason I am a Spartan II...and she basically was a mother to most of us in the program... [He sighed, and looked down] She also was key in helping us survive against the Covenant, developing MJOLNIR armor, and helped us get shields for the MKV. She also predicted something like-

She is one of the smartest people in the entire UEG, so shes needed. Without her, I wouldnt be wearing the armor I have nor using the AI I have. [He looked and his nose scrunched up when Kara called her a bitch...he didnt quite like that...]

𝙻𝚝 𝙲𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚗-𝟶𝟾𝟾 𝚂-𝙸𝙸 @spartan088.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Technically, you arent. [He sighed and looked at Kara with a soft look] She did, but shes needed as of now. We have many foes we need her work for, since she also created the armor you see us Spartans wearing

[It was that obvious..] Well, Ill take your word on the jerky. And I definitely would want to try some soon. [The one downside of being trained since 6 to be a killer...lack of skills like this] Well, how about something simple. What do you enjoy doing?
