FALL OF REACH / 0747 6 SEPTEMBER 2552 (MILITARY CALENDER)/
UNSC Corner Of The Earth, UNSC Even After All PLANET THRESHOLD
AFTER REACH
CAPTAIN: (the captain is leaning on the rails looking through the glass cockpit of his ship wondering what to do after the fall of Reach, his singing an ancient track called Disney - Jungle Book - I Wanna Be Like You)
" Honey" Honey was the ship's AI and also the mascot, and recently been the sex symbol for the marines and the ships crew, due to the fact that all for an AI she seems to be just wear a bikini with the UNSC logo and a Thong, " Honey tell me what's the state of the ship is now".
HONEY: aye aye sir, (few seconds later) extensive repair are being made on all decks they should be finished within the hour sir, engineering Shaw-Fujikawa drive still being repaired but they should be operable within 30 minutes, coolant leaks in the reactor have been fully repaired, all archers missiles ready. The ship should be fully operational in two hours sir.
Captain: "ok then thank you Honey" Honey then replies anytime sir and winks at the captain before disappearing. "Hmmm lieutenant Hoshi give me sickbay report".
Lt Hoshi: well sir most of marines are still recovering from the previous encounter from the covies, but they should be fine sir, and rest of the crew we have had 20 fatalities 50 are in ICU. Most of the other marines are in funeral detail sir.
Captain: "Lt Salmons how's the sensors" Lt then says that the sensors most of the main sensors are operating and that the other sensors are being repaired a new communication and navigation dish is being installed, the captain then asked the Lt to hail Commander Martins he was the captain of the UNSC frigate Even After All, the frigate was badly damaged so Captain Khader was babysitting the ship till it's repairs was done, "so commander how's your ship doing", well the commander replied sounding pleased, " all the decks have been repaired the reactor is getting close to 100 percent operational, the archers pods are all packed the MACS are warming up, and I nearly have all my sensors up and running just got the AI running diagnostics sir", Captain Khader sounding pleased " good to hear ok then call me if you need any help I'll send some of my men to you",
" I think I'll be fine sir but thanks anyway Martins out" the commander replied. Then the captain had a good look at his bridge it's been a week since the fall of REACH, the UNSC managed to set up a new FLEETCOM HQ on one of the planets that the Covenant missed, but as for the whereabouts of the other ships is not sure but the captain was sure that they would try to regroup when it was safe, "ok then Lt Carson" he was the ops officer, "I'm off to retire to my cabin take the bridge don't call for the next two hours ok unless it's necessary".
Lt Carsons: "aye aye sir enjoy your rest Captain" and as the captain walked away and heading towards the lift, he replied "I'll try lieutenant", the Lt looked walked around the bridge everyone was pretty quiet, getting on with the job, "ok then Honey can you please play me bring me sunshine please", honey then appeared and put on his song, and the commander started singing, he started to see a few smile appear on the bridge, so he asked the other to join in slowly some of the crew started singing with him.
Back at the captain's room he loosened up his uniform and sat on his chair
by the bed looked across the blank screen on his wall, for about 5 minutes he sat there quiet,
" Activate private album, the honey moon please, oh and play Nat King Cole - Let There Be Love".
As the video played of the captain and his wife Ashley during the honeymoon, she was blonde blue eyes and had the grace of an angel; there was so much love he had for his wife, he would film her wearing her wedding dress then taking off and teasing him to come to bed, then the next clip showed them just the two being two talking, laughing, kissing, and the first thing she wanted was a baby, then he changed to another video of his wife and him at the wedding reception, slowly dancing with each other looking lovingly into each others eyes kissing slowly on the lips, then he moves to the last clip of her saying I love you to the captain and that he better come back home then blows a kiss to him, the video ends abruptly, the captain got off the chair and lied down on his bed, the captain only ever thought of three things, one the hope that he would see his wife someday again, the welfare of the UNSC and last but not least the destruction of the Covenant, then just like that the captain went to bed to dream about those precious few days he spent with the wife before he went to war.
