Sorry I haven't been posting much. Been busy. Will write something up for Friday so we can start getting ready for the mission we have coming.

Did everyone get that glitch that went through Wash and his A.I. or just them?

Alaska shrugged. She had never had much contact with A.Is, but if the whole aim of the project was to test how effective elite soldiers could be with A.Is it was worth a shot at least. Right? "Dunno. I don't even know what A.I are available, but I think we're supposed to be implanted with the one that fits our personality and combat style the best...So if there is any that are backflipping, wall-punching badasses, I call dibs!" She said with a laugh.

Soon after the two freelancers reached the medbay. The doctors gave them the form for allowing them to go through with the operation. Alaska barely read through it before quickly signing. She was then given the same pills and glass of water as Washington, but instead of drinking it in one go she hesitated. She kept her helmet on as she turned to the doctor. "You know what, how about I drink this in the surgery room? Save everybody time?" The doctor looked at her with a raised eyebrow, but shrugged. "See you later Kansas." She said as she walked away at a brisk pace, not even waiting for her to answer.

Once in surgery Alaska took a deep breath and quickly removed her helmet, her eyes still closed. She had ordered the surgeons to activate the metal shutters on all the windows, even if the surgery would take just a few seconds. She took one last breath before taking the pills, dropping like a sack of bricks on the surgery table soon after.

When Alaska opened her eyes once more she was back on her room. Her hands quickly reached for her head and sighted in relief as they felt the metal touch of her helmet. The throbbing headache was a bit bothersome though. She shook her head but that only made her hiss in pain. Okay, no more moving now. She lied down for a few seconds, the metaphorical hammer pounding against her skull slowly stopping as she took several deep breaths. Alright, she was fine now.

And that was when she noticed the small, red person doing backflips on the edge of her vision. She blinked and looked at her desk. Whomever the little guy was, he sure knew how to move with style. He did backflips, frontflips, cartwheels and even somersaults. Alaska looked at him fascinated until he finally noticed her. "Hi!" He said with a child-like voice. "My name is Chi! What's yours? You wanna play?" He said, extremely excited. Alaska only blinked again before smiling slightly. "My name is Alaska, Chi. Are you my A.I?" she asked as she held out her hand for him. The little red programme rushed foward, jumped and did a roll as she landed on her open palm. "Yeah! We're gonna be the best buddies you and me! Forever and ever!" He said as he jumped up and down before he remembered something. "Oh right! The Director told me you also have super-duper agility powers or something like that! You should check them out!" he announced cheerfully. Alaska's smile grew. Well, now she had to try...Right after her headache stopped killing her.

I mean I am assuming we are all scheduled for surgery and since nobody was calling in I decided to go. That alright?

Alaska smiled at Ruby from inside her helmet. "Well, the director did say to not refer to each other by our names anymore...But mine's Ana. Freelance codename Alaska." When she asked how she was holding up she looked down at her armor. The robots punched hard, and there were a bit of dents here and there, but all she did was chuckle. "I'm alright. Training sessions like that are always fun, but I can't wait to see what we'll see next on the field."

On their way to the cafeteria the two freelancers were stopped by a man whose uniform beared several red crosses. "Agent Alaska and Kansas?" He asked as he looked down on his PDA. Alaska nodded and the man sighted in relief. "Thank god, this ship is big enough to spend an entire day just looking for two people. Anyway, you two ladies are now scheduled for surgery ASAP. Please report as soon as possible to the medbay so we can get this done with, alright?" He didn't even wait for an answer before running away towards another errand. Alaska shrugged and began walking towards the medbay, turning around to look at Ruby. "You coming or will I see you at the cafeteria later?" She asked.

Alaska left for her quarters after leaving her guns in the armory, except for her knife, as she hummed a song while walking at a brisk pace. The automatic door opened with a hiss as she stopped in front of her room and, she had to admit, she liked what she saw. The wallpaper of the Alaskan flag was probably a bit of an overkill though. What did those eight random stars mean anyway?

She flopped down on her bed, looking around the room for one last crucial detail. No mirrors. Perfect. Unfortunately, there was probably one in the bathroom. She would have to deal with that one later. She slowly removed her helmet, quickly setting it down. As she moved the flowerpot with forget-me-nots to the side she grabbed some headphones laying on the desk, noticing they were connected to a music player with some songs already installed in it. She decided to try her luck and pressed play. Old, exciting music from Mars started flooding into her ears. She couldn't help but crack a smile.



She quickly put her helmet back on and left her room. The training excercise had taken a bit out of her and she decided to get something to eat. To eat later at her room of course. She began whistling the song she had heard back in her room before she noticed one of the other Freelancers also heading towards the cafeteria. She couldn't tell who it was, but the long blonde hair and her figure told her that it was one of the females. She sped up for a second to catch to her before speaking "Whats up girl?" She said with a friendly tone.

And here I was hoping for Washington to at least answer back to Alaska. Oh well. At least I got a cool AI.

Alaska grabbed her M7s tightly as she heard the robots approaching, their heavy footsteps bringing them closer and closer to the ruined house . She held her breath as the foosteps stopped for a second, followed by a shower of dust as the robots punched their way into the house. She aimed her guns at the closest robot to her right, her fingers about to pull the trigger.

Of course, that was the moment the alarm sounded and the robots shut off.

Alaska sighted, dissapointed. She holstered her guns and moved out of the building, stopping in front of a stiff robot as she thought of something. In an eyeblink she had taken her Jiralhanae combat knife and slashed one of the robots chests, a shower of sparks following her strike. The robot stood its ground, still motionless. She sighted and sheathed her knife. "It just isn't the same." She said sadly.

After grabbing her M739 she was about to walk out of training she overhead Washington mention why they didn't use of the robots instead of them. "Well, can a robot do this?" She asked as she threw her knife in the air, let it do a complete flip in the air and then caught it with the tip of her robotic finger. It swayed from side to side but she managed to balance it without taking one step. After a few moments shew threw it on the air again and caught it by the handle, sheathing her blade once more. "Also, we are probably cheaper as well." She added, smirking inside her helmet.

Alaska gritted her teeth as the combat robot increased the strength he put into the chokehold. You know, for a simulation battle it was top notch. She was pretty sure that if he put a few more ounces of strength into his hold that her head would pop off. Sadly for the robot, his story wasn't going to end in sunshine and popped heads.

Alaska closed her robotic fist and smashed into the robots visor with a single strike. Her fingers could feel several cables and circuits inside of him. She hoped they were important as she began pulling them out, a shower of sparks coming from the robots head as she ripped them out. He let of her for a moment as his system tried to continue working, but that was all the freelancer needed. She took out her SMG and fired at the robot, a shower of lead covering its metalic body as he went down with a loud THUD.

Alaska took her her knife from the robots back, putting it back into her belt before grabbing her SAW once more. She dashed towards the east side of the battle as the robots focused on the recruits on the west side. She dashed between ruined houses until she reached to the collapsed rooftop of one of them. She didn't waste any time before opening fire, flanking the robots. One more of them fell apart under her automatic fire before her gun went dry. Pffftt, who had time to reload?

Alaska threw her SAW to the side before reaching for her knife once more. As a few robots turned on the human that had flanked them they were greeted by a screaming, airborne berserker who had thrown herself from the roof. She brought down her knife hard, landing on one of the robots as went right through him. Before he could react she let out another burst of fire from her SMG and it went limp. One down, two more pissed-off death machines to go.

Grabbing her other holstered SMG she rushed foward as they opened fire. Once she was close enough she suddenly slid down, opening fire once more as she peppered the robot both from the front and from its back as she slid between his legs. It let out a long, robotic whine before going limp. Before she could get up the other robot rushed foward and slammed its leg onto her chest, knocking the wind out of her, making her drop her SMGs and pinning her to the floor as it raised its rifle to her face. Alaska was really having fun now.

"Yoink!" was the last words the robot heard as Alaska ripped the gun from its metal fingers. She then smashed it into the leg that was pinning her down, forcing the robot to step back. She then threw it against his its chest, doing nothing more than leaving a dent on its armor but distracting it enough for her to recover her SMGs. She emptied what was left of her magazines into it, making it dance as the bullets went right through him. She pulled back into a ruined house, grabbing her knife once more and reloading her SMGs as she heard the robots closing in. They weren't lying when the recruitment papers said they would be facing challenges tougher than some Covenant.

"Lovin' it." Said Alaska with a chuckle as she finished reloading her SMGs, waiting for the robots to close in.

Check the post with armor abilities. They are all there. Also, someone already took that one.
