Adams suit informed him he had been scanned, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. Fortunately, everyone was always on time in the military, so he didn’t have to wait long. He stood relaxed as the other Spartans showed up. Each one easily discernible from each other. None of them appeared green either. Of course, if this hush-hush mission was important as it was starting to appear, he didn’t expect them to be. He took notice of their armor, and how they had a good deal of mobility. He glanced at the Spartan that arrived their first, noting that Argus was a powerful choice for Recon as well. He’d probably fit well with this squad based off first impressions, at least in combat.
He turned to the sound of the large doors opening behind them, where a gruff looking man in a Captain outfit stood tall.
"So, this is my squad of Spartans then?"
He glanced at his nametag and nodded to acknowledge him, but more as a reaction of his approval of the Captain. He hadn’t liked a lot of people he’d served under, but anyone this decorated was to be respected regardless of what he thought of them. He continued to think to himself as they were decontaminated. After that he followed the Captain through the ship with his new squad, taking in all the active personnel and the general layout of the ship. He listened to the Captain speak, breaking his gaze from the ship back to the Captain as his mention of ONI and their messes. Messes he had a lot of experience making and cleaning up for that matter.
They finally entered the bridge after a short elevator ride, and it was a sight to see. Adam had wanted to serve on the Infinity during the Battle of Requiem. However, he was already tasked with uncovering and bringing down remnant Covenant cells. A lot of sleepless nights, a lot of wet work, and a surprising amount of politics. Something he was good at but would rather leave to someone else.
"Nova, detach couplers and prepare for jump."
He was eager to get on the move, and curious to know about their mission. Though those thoughts faded by the wayside as the ships AI Nova, appeared on the table. He hadn’t seen an AI as advanced as her. He’d had quite a few papers fall on his desk about the newer models thought he’d never met one in person. The ship jumped into slipspace and Nova appeared again, in Spartan armor. She introduced herself and Adam stepped to the side of the table as she did. He crossed his arms and shifted his weight to his left side as she finished with a smile a disappeared. The fact she was going to accompany one of them had him very interested. The Master Chief had been able to accomplish incredible things with Cortana, he couldn’t imagine what a pocket AI could do for him.
The captain spoke once again and began explaining the situation, and their mission. Playing the message for them and then explaining the importance of the of an expedient deployment to the Erathellian Cluster. It wasn’t much to go off, he generally liked a little more intel, with his intel. Though it could be worse. As the yet unnamed Spartan began to ask the right questions, more footage played. Showing that it was highly likely it was a Covenant splinter group responsible for the whole thing. Though if it was just that, it wouldn’t be cause for one of the most powerful ships in the fleet to be sent out. Unless something was hidden there that could change the fate of humanity.
Adam finally got the Spartans name, Aviza, as the Captain said it. She was more talkative then he was. It helped that she was asking the right questions. He did chime in after they finished answering Avizas questions.
“M’dama makes sense. Halsey knows a lot of our secrets. I wouldn’t rule out a connection.” Adam added.
He had done enough research on Requiem to know nearly everything that transpired there like the back of his hand. Mostly because the Prometheans could pose a great threat against humanity. Also, because Halsey could pose a great threat to humanity. All it did was to justify needed a special team of Spartans to handle the situation, despite Solares being equipped with its own. He continued to think to himself, but he had done his share of talking for now. He wanted to see the Cluster for himself before he tried to set any of his conclusions in stone. He stared back down to Nova before he scanned the rest of his team to see if any of them would add anything.

“Stations in sight, we’ll be touched down in just a few minutes.”
Adam stood up from his seat in the back of the Pelican and walked up into the cockpit. He looked out over the station, but more importantly the Infinity-Class Supercarrier docked at its side. He knew it was the reason he was here. His contacts at ONI were able to let him know he’d been selected for a High Priority mission. Besides that, though, no one knew too much. It wasn’t long after he discovered his selection he was delivered orders to hitch a ride on the Charon-class frigate Forward Momentum.
The Pelican flew into one of the Hangars and set down gently, the rear hatch opening for Adam to step out. He was already in his armor, the GEN 2 Warrior Variant. Which was commonly used, but his had definitely seen its share of combat. A few Engineers paid a curious stare as the lone Spartan stepped out of the pelican an onto the hangar floor with a thud. Though they quickly went back to their work. Adam looked around and quickly met the gaze of a man standing in a tall dark ONI uniform. He recognized the man as one of his superiors.
“Didn’t expect to see you here, Sir” Adam said as he approached the man.
“I didn’t want to be here,” He replied as he handed Adam a data-pad. “Walk with me.”
Adam took it and began scrolling through its contents as he walked. There wasn’t a lot of context or detail, and it didn’t tell him much more than what he already knew. Aside from the fact the he wasn’t the only one selected, and that he would indeed be reporting to the Solares.
“This doesn’t tell me much,” Adam said as he handed the data-pad back.
“You’ll know everything you need to know when you need to know it.”
“That’s a very ONI thing to say.”
The two continued to walk in silence after that, the corridors filled with plenty of ears that could hear anything they said. Adam assumed that’s why their conversation had been so absent. They continued through the station until they arrived at the section that was off-limits to standard personnel. They stopped at a door, which opened shortly after the agent was scanned. Which led to another hallway that eventually led them through an operations room, and then into another hallway. This hallway was surprisingly empty, and at that point the agent turned to Adam.
“All I can tell you, is that the higher-ups chose you first and foremost because of your connection to ONI. They will try to use you to accomplish whatever goals their after, goals not even I have a remote sense of knowing.”
Adam thought to himself for a moment. It was true that ONI had taken a certain disliking to him after he stepped down from being an active operative. He committed himself more to military aspects of the UNSC, especially since the events of Requiem, and the Forerunners. He looked towards the door on the other side of the hallway, marked just in front of it was [A1-33] the hangar he assumed he’d be meeting others like him at.
“I can handle ONI, not like we’re on different sides right,” Adam smirked as he looked down towards the man next to him.
“Good luck.”
Adam stepped forward towards the blast doors. They hissed as the slowly retracted to either side. Despite the cryptic warning he had sort of been given, he was ready to get into some action. He’d been idle for too long, and it was starting to make him stir-crazy. Serving on the Solares, on some top-secret mission couldn’t help but get him a little excited. He stepped through the door as it finally had opened enough to accommodate his size. He immediately saw another Spartan standing ahead of him. He could tell she was female and wore an Argus type armor. Also ahead of him were two more ONI operatives. It was already becoming apparent to the importance of the mission he was about to embark on. He stepped up besides the other Spartan and turned back to face the door.
“Adam,” He introduced as he crossed him arms to wait with her.

I believe that some of them do have ranks, but I'll refer to your word as law. =D
Question, since it isn't in anyone's CS or anything. What are our military ranks?
Character voice and theme added, post'll be up tonight.

Not sure if you had any restriction on backgrounds or equipment and such, so I just made him how I wanted. Lemme' know if I need to change or add anything.

Interested, curious to see the OOC and characters though.
