Halo Role-play ( Retribution & Lanata )

[Retribution]

It was no longer was awkward to be nude in front of a group of scientists wearing bright white suits. They just stood there like abnormal giants looking blankly off into space. The group of scientists constantly made marks on their tablets and once they all agreed by speaking to each other in their own private channel built into their suits a series of white robotic arms lowered themselves from the ceiling. The male SPARTAN; Zack-224 knew what was being held in the small clear vats. It was a drug called Cytoprethaline which is injected into the arms. The drug prevents the damage of the forming ice crystals around the cell membranes while in cryo-sleep. The injections were quick, the needle was able to bypass the two SPARTAN's thick muscular tissue. The female SPARTAN wasn't given the specialized Cytoprethaline-II since she wasn't able to have children through natural conception. Once this was completed and finished they were lowered through the small lift below them. The individual lifts separated them both for a few seconds before reuniting at the floor below. Here they could see this was the armor assembly bay but they weren't allowed their advanced and finalized suits of MJOLNIR Mk VII powered assault armor. Zack spotted his complete white suit being suspended by multiple arms and hooked up with cables and wires. They were just going to wear the new installation of gear called SMART-Fab or Smart Fabric. The underlying suit of armor that allows change on the spot.


"If we complete this mission, we graduate. What do you think, Aya?"

 

[Lanata]

She still hated being in front of the scientists, but she guessed hse had done it enough to become immune to the looks they gave her, but Zack seemed to be immune to it so she stayed calm. Her eyes closed as the the needles went into her skin. She was well aware of what she was being injected with and once she was lowered down, she flexed her wrists and looked at the arm where she was injected and shrugged before looking over at him.


It was then she noticed the new SMART fabric suits lined up for them and nodded, she was impressed. She looked back up at him once he looked at her.


"I'm a bit wary, perhaps this is a test of our morals or conscience?"


She sighed and looked back at the suit.


"But together we should graduate. We have always had each other's backs, together we are strong perhaps that why we were chosen together."

 

[Retribution]

Zack nodded his head slowly before stepping off the lift, his toes moved slowly across the cold steel before stepping forward and stretching his arms out as the SMART-Fab was quickly formed onto his body like some liquid consuming him. He could feel the nano fiber threads attach to his nervous system as they became one. He lifted his hands and made them into fists and then relaxed them before looking towards Aya and watching her nude body become covered in this brown suit that quickly turned black due to the people being within the room.


"Chosen, we're the chosen ones aren't we? We've seen combat before but we were told all the battled we fought were training exercises. But this one, dropping behind enemy lines, leading a squad of ODST's into fire battles, we were told not to stop for anything. Is that right?"

 

[Lanata]

Aya followed suit and allowed the suit to wrap around herself shivering at the feeling of the fibre threads attach to her. It was a wierd feeling to say the least, but then again it more tickled than hurt, it was nothing to having injections after all. Once the process was complete she moved side to side and then flexed her arms moving her shoulders to test the amount of movement. She was impressed, it was just like a second skin, so she could move a lot better than with armour.


Upon his words she looked at him with a raised brow.


"Chosen ones? we have worked hard for this, all throughout the acedemy we have trained and pushed ourselves. They can see our ability, how we push each other, have each others backs. This is nothing like we have faced before. We have to think about this before we make any moves, for all we know the right move can be the wrong move. They do say stop for nothing, but what if that something is innocent? have they taken that into consideration, who are we to judge?"

 

[Retribution]

"Our rank doesn't allow us to judge, we only do as we are commanded. Seek and destroy is our MO."


Zack sighed looking at her, he knew how she thought and how she acted. There was no doubt about that, the two had bonded unlike any other Spartan, the other would die for the other. The two were unstoppable and with these two they could change the tide of the war against the Insurrectionists.


The time came to lay down into the cryo-chambers until they were awaken for battle. Some say while you are in cryo that you can still be aware of things around you but you cannot interact, though that's rubbish. In cryo-sleep you dream, you dream of a place free of war and pollution, free of greed and war. The next few moments after the pair had been defrosted and after the feeling as if they had just laid down washed away the pair were heading for the armor bay. Zack could feel the movement of the frigate they were in. They must have arrived to Savanna II.


"...let's see if we can hit our mark without having to sprint 4 miles to meet up with our men."

 

[Lanata]

She frowned once he spoke to her about their rank. It was true they had always worked together to achieve but she always had the more moral sense. He always followed rules, but she thought about it, she always had the moral approach tried and nine times out of ten, she got through to him and they managed to succeed.


Once in Cryo however she slept peacefully for once, they say that you dream in cryo, but she certainly didn't remember dreaming. She only remembered feeling at peace which was quite daunting for her considering that she had never truly felt at peace.


She walked quietly to the armour bay, taking a quick look out of the window as they went past to confirm their location.


"Should be easy enough. We've done it plently of times before. "


"

 

[Retribution]

"Indeed we have."


Zack smiled towards her but only for a brief second before his body was lifted into the air by a anti-gravity well surrounding him. White robotic arms and claws began to assemble his suit of armor. He could feel the layers of under armor that was beginning to form around him, giving him the bulkier more herculean stature. The Titanium-A grade pieces of armor were placed on every major part of his body. Soft whirrs of drills and cranks could be heard as the pieces of armor came to form around him. Slowly his head was covered by his helmet and gently he was lowered back to the white floor. He moved his arms and hands then his legs and feet. He could feel the armor reacting to his body movements, his blue eyes looking over the white armor about him then mentally changing it to black, the reflective plates glittering to a different color.


"Fusion generator is 100%. Neural Connectivity is 100%. Energy Shields is stable and holding at 300%."


Zack adjusted his eyes to the HUD display on his visor. He could see the white outlines of people faces and objects surrounding him. The A.I. built into the armor displaying elements, levels, and possible threats. Before he stood off the platform a small robotic arm moved itself in front of him holding his Cutlass. The weapon used only by highly skilled SPARTANs such as Zack and Aya. Zack softly reached out and wrapped his armored hand around the weapon and then placed his other hand around it too. He moved the weapon under his grip quickly and unlocked the double bladed form of the weapon before assuming back to dial downed position and placed it on his lower back.


"I'm ready for the Drop. Aya meet me at the Drop Zone when you're done. We're leaving in T-minus 5 minutes."

 

[Lanata]

As soon as he was done, the robotic arm came to do the same to her. She still had the herculean element to her, but her armour fitted her body perfectly so she still retained her feminine shape, but it still protected all of her major parts. She looked up then to the front as her own helmet was placed upon her head, her hair previously tied back to stop any hair catching within the joins and making it uncomfortable. she blinked to test the HUD and once she was satisfied allowed her own armour to turn a deep red.


It was fitting considering her hair was a deep red and it was her favourite colour. Plus Black and red made a brilliant combination. They often joked about this. They really were the perfect partners, him and her.


She was slowly lowered onto the floor and her own weapon handed to her. She took it from the robot and unsheathed it, testing out the strength and agility she ha in the armour as she twisted the blade and nodded in satisfaction, re - sheathing it and making to follow him.


"T minus five. I'm ready in T minus 5 seconds."


She murmured when she caught up with him and made to the drop zone with him.
