The ship came out of Slip-Space over one of the halo rings. Shadow's ship was nowhere in sight. Linda wondered it he just enjoyed jumping from planet to planet, or if there was a pattern that she was missing. Either way, the frigate loomed closer. This was an artificial planet, so there was no way for the ship to remain in orbit. They'd have to land. Linda was worried about everything. The condition of her crew was getting worse and worse, her trainees were beginning to question her desicions, and her prisoner knew all the passcodes. There wasn't much to do but to trust him, her instincts, and the sanity of her crew, and that's putting a lot to just faith. Seeing as nothing very interesting happened when they landed, she only brought seven out of her fourteen trainees with her in a Pelican after the Frigate had landed. The others were to stay and guard it. She trusted that nothing would happen, but wondered if that was too much to hope for.

Linda was surprised to see that he wanted to help, but still a little wary. "Sure I guess." She had no reason to not give him a chance. He'd proven himself so far. They continued off in search of Shadow.

Linda sighed. "To be completely honest with you, I don't really know. I just have this feeling. I've learned to trust my intuition." She laughed at herself. "I know that sounds really stupid. What we're supposed to be doing is scouting out that first planet, Thereare. I'm not quite sure why I left. I guess I was intriguied by the idea of a big adventure, like the ones me and my fellow Spartans used to go on. I'm not a good leader, so I don't know why I was given this mission in the first place. I work as an assassin for the UNSC."

Finally they found the tunnel that leads down into the control room. The Pelican landed and they headed down inside. They got to the center and saw Shadow standing next to the holographic map. She was about to say something, when she got a call over the COM. It was one of the trainees still at the Frigate. "Ma'am! Covenant sited! Orders?" Linda gave them the order to prepare for a fight. She then turned to Shadow. "Okay, we're here, and it looks like we're in for a fight. Now what?"

Shadow: Have you heard of the forerunner? Shadow turns to Linda. Shadow: Well, have you?

"Yeah, I've heard of them. They created the Halo rings and the Ark, right?" Linda answered. She still didn't understand what all of this was about.

Shadow: People say that that forerunner were all killed. The truth is that a single forerunner is still alive. And what if I told you that he is here.

"Hmm... sounds a little far-fetched. I'd have to see it to believe it." Linda was very skeptical and didn't believe everything based on principle.

Shadow: Ok, then let me show you. Shadow presses a buttion on his arm. Suddenly his armor changes to like Zore and the forerunner symbol appears on his back. Shadow: Well, what do you think?

Linda was speechless. She had no idea how to react. The even staggered back a little from the shock. Her trainees were had the same problem. "Y-your... your Forerunner?" Linda stuttered. "So that explains where all the artifacts came from." She couldn't describe how she was feeling... it was such a shock. She now realized why she felt that following him was important. It wasn't important, it was just he had a strange aura about him. "How did you survive while the rest of them went extinct?"

Shadow: I went to sleep cycle in one of the capsules on my ship, the one you opened. I knew you would come to Thereare, a forerunner planet, to do a scouting mission. When you came to to the planet, I sent my robot to copy the armor that you spartians wear. The armor was my como. I wanted to awake when the age of flood was over. Shadow bows to Linda. Shadow: I thank you, spartian.

"Umm... thanks?" Linda was still shocked. "Er... how did you know that we were coming to Thereare?"

"Put the sword down Onyx, it's okay" Linda noticed that the shock was wearing off. Her trainees were preparing to fire. "Hold fire! Save it for the covenant!" They heard the roar of covenant engines as they closed in on them. They all turned to face the entrance. "So, Shadow, any idea why the covenant might be following you around?"

Shadow: Well, I now all the locations for all forerunner objects. If they capture me, it could be the end of all life as we know it.

"So basically, if it weren't for you, we'd be completely safe," Linda turned around and pointed her gun at Shadow. "So if I take you out, the chances that the rest of us will live will be higher. I already lost a third of my troops, and I'm not about to risk losing anymore. I'm truly sorry about this." She aimed her gun right in the middle of his forehead and prepared to pull the trigger.

Shadow: (Sigh) So sad. Shadow disappears!!! Shadow: Why would you think that I could die so easliy? I am sorry to do these but you let me no chocie. Release the Flood. A doors open and thousands of flood charge to Linda and Onix and outside to kill the covenant.

Linda turned and watched as the Flood ran right by them. "What the?" she asked to no one in particular. She heard the screams of dying covenant outside the building. "Okay, let's get out of here. Quickly!" Linda made sure her trainees and Onyx got outside before she exited. They began to fire. "Don't shoot!" she ordered, "Make a break for the Pelican!" They ceased fire and ran to the ship. Linda got on her COM "Attention all squad members! Turn around and head back to the Frigate. We're getting off of this ring!" They did as ordered and in no time at all, they were back in space. Linda went into her quarters and took out a drink. Normally, she was not one to drink alchohol, but after today's confusing events she needed it. She laid back on her bed and sighed. Today was so tiring.

Shadow: Good they are safe. Now lets do this! Shadow press a button. In the center of the ring and a portal start to spin. Faster and faster and start to expand until the portal completely covers halo. Then in a flash, the portal closes and halo was gone.

The pilot came over Linda's COM channel. "Linda, where to next?" Linda sighed and sat upright. "I don't care. Go wherever you want." "Okay then," the pilot said, "Earth it is." "Fine," Linda said and went back to sleep as the ship jumped into Slip-Space towards Earth.
