Chapter 37 Finding an Uninvited Guest and Using Traveling Function

Dark Pov

After all that's happened I need to plan just rebuilding the ships we lost is not enough and luckily thanks to the missions I have 6100 Divine Points first I will have to get a basic terraformer to make Darkadia more inhabitable than I should make use of the traveling companion feature I have been ignoring since I was focusing on the preparation for the journey and battles at earth now I have the time I should see what it does and if it's useful for me to use.

After thinking about it for awhile Red Queen reports a strange Cryo pod that appeared out of no where a few hours after our arrival do with out much thought I get up and make my way to the location the cryo pod is located to see who was able to appear out of nowhere and ask how they did it as well as determine of they are hostile or not.

After arriving at the location I see the pod it even had a display on the side which shows the condition of the occupant as well as their information as I look at this display I see a name I recognise of which should still be at earth with the UNSC but according to the display that person is within the pod I spent abit of time deciding how to handle this before my team arrive and also see the name on the display and shock was evident on their faces as Alice speaks " what the hell is she doing here" jealousy evident in her voice as i look at the name a think how Lucy was here.

After calming Alice down and telling Jess to take here out of the room while I wake Lucy up to get some answers, I wait for Alice to leave with Jess before I walk to the display to activate the awakening process once it starts I step back with Victor to my right and Philip to my left all three of us look at the pod and wait for it to finish awakening Lucy.

After about 20 minutes the door to the pod rises to reveal Lucy still asleep but before we could move closer she begins to move as her eyes open and look directly at us before speaking " oh so your alive than" I can see that this is her attempt to deal with her anger at the fact she thought I was dead and I did not let her know otherwise till now, I sigh at this before I get to the important question " how are you here you should be at Earth" she looks at me as if to see if I am seriously asking that question first rather than asking how she was but I just keep my serious face showing I want the answer " its hard to explain i was just in my room when a strange display appeared asking if i wanted to join your team in changing our fates" hearing this i look at her for the first time in a very long time i felt genuine shock.

After calming my self I ask Destiny what's this about [ I probably should have mentioned it to the system Lucy is as much a member of your team as the others however since she usually handles logistics she was a grey area so it gave her a choice what she said is just a summary of that choice it was basically choosing between you and the team or the UNSC she chose the team] after hearing this I look at her and I realise something my team are the ones I can trust they should know the truth.

After making a decision I tell Lucy to go get something to eat and I will have a member of the station staff bring her to my office I also send a message to Jess to bring Alice to my office it's time to show my team I trust them they been with me through hell and back I should have done this along time ago but was not sure how they will react, after heading to my office I wait for everyone to arrive after Lucy walks in Alice gives her a death glare " calm down Alice she is a member of our team as much as you are without her logistical skills we would have not been able to complete many missions" hearing me Alice looks away from Lucy " right I called you all here for a reason" after finishing talking I move my hands to my helmet and the others look at me in shock even though the other have seen my face that was only on my arrival of the Spartan project I wore a mask after that one time to hide who I was.

I remove my mask revealing my face and eyes " it nice to see you guys with my actual eyes rather than through a helmet but that's not important what I say next is my actual name is Marcus Halsey and yes my mother was the one who made us what me are" looking at them i saw mix of anger and suprise before I could say anything else " what the hell why did she do this to her own son it's horrible we went through so much pain to become what we are" Alice was certainly angry from her statement, the others on the other hand had looks of sympathy" i do not need sympathy i told you because i know almost everything about all of you yet you all know nothing about me i tell you all this to show my trust for all off you but i must say none of what was said here is to be revealed to anyone else those in this room are all that i trust" after finishing what i was saying i take a special mask from my desk draw that Red Queen had made it not only covers my face bit also changes my hair colour to a crimson red after putting it on i dismiss everyone.

After everyone left I open the system view I can do this because the mask has a visual display on the inside where the eyes would be allowing the system to show

SYSTEM DISPLAY: TRAVELING COMPANION

Companions ( select a companion to send do note the higher the grade of companions the more they bring back as well as the quality being better)

Mini Wolf( basic companion)

Begin Journey( press to send traveling companion out do note it's random where he will go)

Looking at this I see that I have a single companion but it is a basic one which I assume is the worst grade [ that is incorrect the lowest grade is inferior than basic above that is Intermediate, Advanced,Master and last but not least Grandmaster being the best the reason you got a basic one was because inferior can only bring a singular item back and the difficulty of the quest you did was deemed by the system to meet the basic companion reward difficulty] hearing this from Destiny I just accept it and after thinking for abit " how long will the companion be gone for" this was important as it determines how useful it is" I wait for Destiny as she is the only one who will know [ that depends on the rarity as each rarity adds a new item slot a basic one will bring two items back each item takes 12 hours so your compainion will take 24 hours to come back but do note they only go to worlds its impossible for you to go to] I listen to what she says with interest after she finishes I thinks it's a good system and is not too broken at the start but once I get more companions I will be able to get tons of stuff so it's more of a growth type of function that gets better over time with that thought I select my mini Wolf and click begin Journey sending it to get me two items that may be off use.
