It has been over a month on flying through space looking for a big ass ring and its hard, Space is just so huge the whole needle in a haystack is an understatement.
Inside a large room Infinity Guardians are training, Watching them as they learn to work together and not just warriors but also using human tactics, everyone is working hard, Reaper keep having duels with the Elites they are enjoying themselves having a chance to fight even if he is weaker he knows better hand to hand combat allowing a good fight to take place the Elites are Young so they joined and not as corrupted as the covenant go out and seek trouble with the UNSC to just spell doom with themselves as that has not taken place yet allowing an easier time on recruiting them.
Grunts not having any specialized weapons yet made, they still are using plasma pistols and the armor is helping boost there confidence up but still need room to improve, Hunter pair they are having a training with the new beam cannon sending a purple beam that is devastating and the shield being lighter and wrapped more of the body but still strong and good for bashing, the armor in segments allowing close combat bashing with the shield and protected where there weak points are now even more covered.
When I find how to make Artificial Intelligence having small robots to help the Infinity Guardians in battle, Hunters having Small robots that will shoot and cover there back when fighting will be even more of a challenge to fight them. [Specter]
Engineers have to wait until I figure out how to make a new armor and weapons for them, but they will not be any weaker then the others. [Specter]
We have discovered a huge ring! (Elite)
Looking over to an Elite that took me out of my thinking he was running in talking in English, I leave for the bridge quickly.
I am in the sphere mode allowing me to fly quickly and arrive, being displayed on the hologram in the center of the room is the Halo Array.
Move us into the Ring, enter into Code yellow. (Specter)
Having made color code and shade code to tell the situation that everyone needs to be on the ship, Yellow is be cautious and be ready for combat that may or may not happen.
As the little amount of Infinity Guardians are moving about, the Frigate moved to the ring, scanning the surface of the ring some information about depends on the weather of the halo can tell if the flood has been released or not.
Looking over it the halo it does not have any froze lands anywhere or cold spots, looking at the temperature scanner its all at 71 degrees nothing higher or lower.
Seeing a large structure that might be used to access the halo deeper in, I had the ship move there, as its moving there, I called all Infinity Guardians to a meeting.
____
We are to go as Humans, Elites will be in a team of two, one pair will be staying on the ship with Hunters and Grunts to make sure nothing enters the ship, Reaper your team is to secure the top level where we will land if we need to fall back you will help cover our retreat.
Ghost you will take your team and enter the structure and find ways to go deeper into the halo and scout ahead of my team, any place that has locked doors don't force your way in.
Death prepare medical treatment if we have any problems and be ready to start treating right away.
Fal, will be with my team we will follow after Ghost and make our way deeper. (Specter)
Affirmative! (Everyone)
____
The frigate staying above the marked drop point, no mass flying phantoms or drop of tanks and the like, a Gravity lift was beamed down onto the flat white alloy platform and teams dropped one after the next and split apart after landing.
Han Controlled a phantom and dropped Ghosts down allowing faster travel in larger areas, as Ghost team are moving in deeper, I used the system to make contact with the halo monitor or attempted to but no response was sent back.
Not on the right frequency? (Specter)
After trying a few more times but failed, I gave up and left with my team to enter the Halo.
______
Large hallway structure that seems like giants walked the halls of the facility, Fal moved first and kept scanning and moved quickly, I followed next and two Elites right after, making our way through following the same way Ghost did first, finding locked doors and sections preventing going off the single path set up, following it deeper Ghost sent a message over.
Specter, Made contact with flying robots, they are not attacking just flying around opening and locking other doors. [Ghost]
We got close to one door and it hurried to lock it then unlocked a different one. [Ghost]
Don't attack, move deeper but anything seems off any green glowing sections appear fall back right away. [Specter]
Affirmative, moving on. [Ghost]
Continue making our way, it was our turn to come across the Sentinels, they are moving around and as one is before a door I make my way over quickly and grab it as my alloy Completely encased it I got how they are made, the code and there linked to a server but unable to access it from here.
Letting go, the Sentinel flew off like nothing happened as I did not need to brake any firewall I just mentally became one of them and gained access to there information without being noticed but never changed my looks physically.
Following the way Ghost went, Ghost Contacted me again before we continued on.
Found a control system of some type, and the path ends here in a single room. [Ghost]
On our way. [Specter]
Following the structure path, we make it to the the last spot a control system is located at, Ghost is waiting for us when we arrived.
I tried to access the controls but failed, mostly I don't know what I am doing. (Ghost)
Walking up to it, I place my hands on it and it lit up, going through it the Halo Ring appeared before everyone, tapping a simple warning system to tell the status of the halo and the halo was broken into sections as parts started turning from yellow to blue going all throughout the ring it did not take long until the ring was all blue.
This is showing there is no flood on this halo, its been removed Completely? (Specter)
Going through it more I look deeper and trying to find the Monitor at least having a conversation will help, a message appeared replaced the halo with a Monitor. Its a orange one and spoke in a deeper voice then the ones heard on game.
I am 049 Abject Testament, as you are seeing this it is my last message, the flood has broken out of the facility and I am now removing it all, the flood had entered my systems as I was sleeping and I must destroy myself. (049)
I locked downed the Installation 03 and started a complete clean sweep, It is my last command I will now be destroying myself to prevent Flood overwriting the systems to prevent its destruction. (049)
There is another Monitor I locked the portal to his facility to prevent containment breach, even though the portal is installed to prevent any of the flood going through as it will rip it apart I locked it down to prevent it from happening at all. (049)
I have lost 98% of my body it is time for me to be removed before Complete control happens. (049)
The message ended, now knowing why it brought up all blue the Flood has been completely wiped from the station and the doors being locked is still the previous lockdown before the monitor destroyed itself.
Tapping a few more, I find what I am looking for the halo array was brought up again and seeing a line that goes from current location to a different part of the halo to destination.
We will head to this new location, it will take a few hours to arrive, we will just fly there and get dropped off as close we can then make our way to it. (Specter)
Walking back the way we come Ghost asked.
Where is our next Location going to? (Ghost)
A server room that has all the Sentinel linked together, it is where I can gain control over them and have a better scan over the halo and help locate things quickly as they have eyes? That allow me to see what they see we will not need to walk the halo looking for the things I am looking for. (Specter)
________
It took time, returning back, then flying as close we can to our new destination, using a ghost to get closer and then walking the rest of the way, after hours of making our way doors had been locked and had to make our way in through them, this time going in Sphere mode and not walking it increased the speed of the travel, arriving at the location being tall structures that is floating and shifting they hold the servers, it was a tidies abjective I had to go to each of the towers get to the top from the inside and then access the servers then link it to my body and repeat this on all five towers, the storage inside my body is so big that it did not even change after downloading the connection to all the Sentinels inside me.
There is many different classes of Sentinal from repair to huge ass fully armed Sentinels.
Now with eyes everywhere I spread them out throughout the Halo array they searched for the controls of the halo facility after telling me where it is I made my way there, not taking long I flew there, now seeing it for myself that the halo is clean the others left to do there own thing as I made my way to the main controlles not the fake one to distract the flood but the true one, arriving I gain control over the halo completely and after doing a third check of everything the halo has been removed of all flood was all that I needed.
I Started my long search for the portal to go to the other Facility to gain a composer, days of searching I noticed one of the Sentinel pass something stopping and backing the Sentinel up and looking, then going through the information Death sent over, the thing I am looking at looks exactly like the composer size and shape.
Letting the Sentinel Send a pulse out that was a beacon it appeared on the map I created knowing its location I flew there, when I arrived the large composer is right there, using a system already connected to it, I start accessing it the information telling me that its the Composer was all I needed to start all my ideas, there its being controlled in a way to prevent it from sending the beam out to hit a large area its only concentrated on one point for a single person to enter at a time.
The code inside to transfer living beings into Artificial Intelligence was brought up but it just looks like a alien language, but not stopping going through the data the very long slow process of understanding how it works is now taking place, there is a library I discovered after looking through the halo Array, When I get stuck on any part accessing the library look the information up helped understand how the halo is created and a bit of Composer data on how it was created.
Once I am unable to learn anything else about the composer I touched it, I completely encased the composer with my alloy that allowed me to figure out the structure from the interior and exterior and how it works so I was translating the coded language and started figuring out how the Forurunners was trying to accomplish.
Finding information plan on a stasis device called Cryptum, I sent the Repair Sentinal out to start building this large stasis device, it will take a few months but once done I will put the Infinity Guardians inside and stop them from aging and with Reaper, Ghost, Death helping work on the composer by working together will help speed and keep our sanity at the same time as we don't need to worry about aging like the others.
