In the recesses of space, there will always be ways to drift, regardless of whether such drifting was figurative or literal; such was the nature of the void. Matthew had been doing it his entire life, and there was nothing so comforting to him then letting his mind wander. The chrome alleyway served as a more than adequate safe haven for him to reconstruct his armor, which he felt almost naked without. It spoke volumes that he felt more comfortable in a suit of armor than he did with his own skin, more exposed when he wasn't in combat. He thought about what he had told August earlier, about there always being different paths, and he had meant what he said then... But he knew that there could only be one path, one fate, one destiny, for him.
But the new recruits couldn't know that. Each one of them, whether they had joined in Axion, or Cyprus, or post-Phazon, they were the faces of the future, not his. The only duty that he had didn't belong to his home, or to the Empire, or even to the Galaxy. It was for the new generation of heroes: to ready them, to train them, and to prepare them...
For when they stare their destiny in the face.

The robotic soldier walks down the alleyway examining the overhanging utility cables, repairing or replacing damaged areas. The robot looks at ginger for a moment examine him and then continues his work in the hallway.
-
Ginger nods at them as they pass, from one soldier to another. He analyzed them briefly, but perhaps distractedly dismissed them as benign.

Icier is looking around, analyzing everyone he sees, while Silver is more relaxed [spoiler]Icier: http://img04.deviantart.net/d61e/i/2013/058/e/5/dead_space_3___wallpaper_hd_1080p_by_rikoray-d5wdnan.png [/spoiler] [spoiler]Silver(my main): http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a517/14howellc/halo4_4_Regicide2_zpsc4bac073.jpg [/spoiler]

They see Ginger emerge from the alleyway, somehow clad in armor. An Order official makes his way towards him, but is stopped cold by a vicious look from the towering soldier, and slowly begins to backpedal away.
-
*the two walk over to him to investigate "Hello there. And who might you be?"-Silver *Icier is standing beside him, analyzing Ginger
-
Ginger takes a look at Icier for a second, before returning his gaze to Silver. They didn't appear to belong to the Order, based on their looks, so perhaps they were new Cyprus, "I'm insulted that you wouldn't recognize me. You two Cyprus?"
-
Edited by SilverPulse620: 12/30/2015 12:17:58 AM"Affirmative. I joined a few months ago, before the Cyprus cruiser crashed. Icier came in a few weeks ago to help with the incidents with the Dread. I'm guessing you are too?"-Silver
-
"Unofficially, I'm with Cyprus, but that's just because I was with Exalin. Hell, I still have the Imperial logo on my armor."
-
Edited by SilverPulse620: 12/30/2015 1:47:26 AM"Exalin? That team has been coming up a lot recently. I heard you guys were almost all killed. Unfortunate. Never good to lose a team of advanced warriors, because then it takes forever to come up with replacements."-Icier *Silver looks to Ginger "Sorry. Icier doesn't have very good...people skills."-Silver
-
Ginger shifts his stance a little, leaning in his left leg, "We split up a few decades ago, twenty something years, maybe. Only Phantom, Python, Lethal and I are still alive, all the others are either KIA or MIA. Damn shame too, they would've put all you greenies to shame. And yes, I'm kinda lacking with people skills as well. Comes with the trade."
-
"Lethal was one of the first of the team I met. Acted like some kind of god. I never trusted Python since he got on the ship. Never met Phantom in person. He was the one that created Genesis, right?"-Silver
-
"Lethal, as you'd know him as, is actually a god. Well, not in your sense of the meaning. He's literally the King of Hell. Python's a good man, you can trust him. I've trusted him for the past thirty years, look at where that got me. As for Phantom... He's eccentric, but a good man as well. They're all decent people, from a very indecent time."
-
*he turns to Icier "Told you."-Silver(whispering) "Mercenaries are still mercenaries, no matter how nice they act. They will double cross you at the first sign of profit, I guarantee."-Icier(whispering) *Silver ignores him and turns back to Ginger
-
Ginger's ears twitch once, and for perhaps the first time the two realize that he has elf-like, pointed ears that stick subtly out of his hair. "We've all been mercs at some times in our lives, but once we were something more. Something a little more... Inspiring, perhaps. Heroic, certainly. Now, we're just glorified mercenaries, but it pays the bills."

[spoiler]Its Ginger. Go ahead and find him in the alleyway if you'd like, I'll change it to open[/spoiler]
