Washington woke early on this particular day. He half wanted to hit the gym, but if he was going to be honest he was way too tired. He got up and looked at the clock. it was too early to do anything vigorously active, so he took his time, had a shower got dressed, went to the armory and just did some small firing course.

When he got it back to the dorm he noticed that Alaska was still in bed. He tried nearly everything to wake her calmly but gave up after two attempts He shouted at her, "Hey Sis, you need to get up breakfast is in half an hour." she opened her eyes slightly before raising her head, "Fuck off, i'm staying bed. It's warm and I don't have you shouting at me." Alaska replied sharply. "Suit yourself," Wash added. "But don't blame me if there isn't any food left." Wash said slyly. She groaned as she moved on her side. and got out of bed. "I'd so slap you if you weren't my brother." She said walking towards the bathroom. "I bet you would, I'll see you in the canteen, don't be too long, I'd hate to be the only sibling."

Washington arrived to the sight of everyone chowing down. "Good morning all." he said sitting down with his food. "Ice cream for breakfast, what kind of messed up universe is this." He added chuckling. "So, a day of rest, who'd of thought it." Alaska hurriedly entered the canteen and grabbed her usual fruit and yogurt, then proceed to sit down across from wash. "I don't see what you see in the yogurt. Sis" "Morning all, You wouldn't i think it's too healthy for you." She said sarcastically tapping his chest. "Hey, this is a figure." wash replied playfully, "Speaking of figures, whats on the list of training for today?" Alaska asked.

Don't count me out yet, I've been doing a lot of rehearsals recently for a school thing, I might be a bit slow on posting, but I'll try to keep up to date.

As a side note: I like the reference Phoenix, I wish there was more Futurarma.

"Hmm that seems to be a trend, Alaska and myself only found that we were going to be meeting until the transport shuttle. I didn't even know which soldier was her until training when her helmet fell off." Alaska nodded saying nothing and averting her eyes from everyone. "Yeah that's true," in her mind she still couldn't quite accept him as her brother, her brother died some time ago. Alaska could tell that Carolina was hurt when he was telling his story, she knew the families pain, telling a family that a relative has died is something the military doesn't like to do. "Hey, Thanks for sharing, you didn't have to you know, but thanks." Hell to it, Wash thought to him. "Well, I guess I have no choice now, When Alaska and I were younger we always used to be adventurous There was one time when she and I made camp in a forest, we lived in England together they had laws to keep their green areas, I joined after I was 22 And gut put into an raid team that's when I got promoted into Special operations, and it led into my 'Secret op' on a certain munitions company, they were trying to use fore runner tech into weaponry, They were the ones who tried to manufacture sentinel beams, it was amusing to see how confused they were about it. But anyway, I managed to sneak one away, I used up all the ammo unfortunately but it was a fantastic weapon none the less, Anyway I had been on this mission and after a day of R&R I got the message I had been moved to this program, and here I am." "You had a day of R&R, after 8 year mission?" Alaska asked "You're telling me, someone here must have liked my progress I suppose," He leaned back on his chair and took a sip of his drink, "I'm just glad that it's over, i hope i never do another covert op in my life, it's so tiring, waking up and pretending to be another person. It's like being an actor but if your bad you'll be killed" Washington added sarcastically. He leaned over at Iowa's data pad and stood up, "Well if you don't mind everyone I'm gonna move out, Sims really tire me out, I'll see you guys in the morning I suppose," He got up, picked up his helmet and moved out tapping Iowa on his shoulder as he leaned in "Just remember you don't need to Finnish that bottle, on your own if you ever need a drinking buddy I'm your man." Wash left to his room leaving the others behind. "If you guys don't mind I think I'll join him," she said yawning "Good night all," she stood up picked up her helmet and left. When she got back to her dorm Wash was already in the shower. She picked up wash's data pad and quickly signed into the system she quickly sent Carolina a PM it read: "Hey Carolina I realize you've had it tough, Wash has a Private Communicator if you need to use it, it's old tech so it won't be jammed by their interceptors, or the damn AI, See you in the Morning -Alaska" She was close to writing her real name for a moment, but she realized she wasn't that person any more. she signed out and lay in bed slowly closing her eyes. Washington followed shortly afterwards.

Both siblings listened intensely to North’s story, “Well that certainly put’s my one to shame,” Alaska replied, "I don’t really have many stories, I’ve only seen the end of them,” Alaska thought for a moment and remembered an event:“No there was one time back in the old days; I had just been transferred to the helmsman of a Frigate. We had just finished scouting an unknown sector, all of a sudden we saw a ship fire up from an asteroid belt and belt towards us, I tried to go into slip space but they fired at our thrusters, it was a scouting vessel so our gun weren't equipped for anything of their standard. They boarded us and sent the surviving crew into the depths of the ship; we’d been abducted by pirates.” Alaska said. Alaska paused as wash interjected “What did you do?” “I volunteered my services, I was only in the UNSC for a small time, I joined up with the ‘pirates’ They taught me skills of combat without regulation, no Rules of engagement, and some amazing flying techniques.” Wash was taken back; he’d never imagined his sister as a space pirate “How’d they get you in the program then?” Wash asked taking another sip of his Whisky.“Simple, I was arrested but apparently my skills were too good to been thrown into a prison so I was re-employed as a pelican pilot. And now I’m here.” “I wish I could share my own, but the likely hood is that I’ll get assassinated for doing so I had to go ‘off the grid’ for quite a while” He got a Glare from Alaska, “Don’t start sis we've been over it, the moment has passed. You don't seem like the kinda guy not to be alone North, anyone back home looking at the sky for you?"

Wash followed north as he went into the canteen he spotted the bottle on the table and inspected it. He sat down removed his helmet and poured a glass. Alaska was hesitant at showing her face but eventually came around. And poured herself a glass she wasn’t much for drinking as she knew she was a bit of a light weight, but she still went for it. When North toasted to the mission the siblings followed suit. “To ever more future missions” Wash added, “And to a load more dead bad guys” Washington sipped his glass and put it down, whilst Alaska who’d been on ration packs for quite a while hadn’t had whiskey in some time. She downed the glass. She put the glass down with some force, “Son of a bitch!” She exclaimed coughing, “That was some fucking strong stuff, I think my throat is on fire.”. Washington couldn’t help but laugh as he got up to get some water. “Drink this, you’ll be fine” he said presenting the water to her. She downed the water but it seemed to make no difference. “Flipping hell Doc what was that?”

“Roger that Cal,” She rushed back into cockpit and engaged the thrusters, the pelican raised up as the main engines fired propelling the ship towards the cruiser, “This is pelican Delta 003/405 reporting in the package is on board, we have wounded on board requesting permission to land at the nearest medical bay.” The was a brief radio silence as the reply came back, “Understood Medical bay 4 has a squad ready and waiting.” The pelican pulled into the landing bay and the simulation ended. The voice of F.I.L.S.S came into her helmet, “Well done agents, the grade of B+ was achieved in this simulation, returning all members to bays, again congratulations agents.” Wash always hated flying, especially when his sister was flying, he took the time to reply to North’s statement, “You all right North you seem a bit agitated,” He replied generally concerned “we’re in the same boat if you ever need a brother on brother talk I’m here.” They pulled into the hanger and Wash put his shotgun on his back. The siblings unplugged themselves and exited the room. They both met in the hall way outside. They high fived each other and proceeded to chest bump each other. “I knew you could always fly but the UNSC must've taught you some special stuff.” He hesitantly tapped her on the shoulder, “I’m proud of you.” Alaska didn’t quite know how to complements and just kept quiet and waited for the others, she wasn't going to make it any more awkward.

Once Iowa moved out between the cars wash provided cover with his shotgun, it wasn't much for long range but it made one hell of loud noise when It was fired. He noticed him taking a shot to the leg as moved out but he looked like he could make it. Alaska arrived just as Iowa moved out of sight, she opened a Com channel to her brother; “Hey hope I’m not interrupting,” she said firing a volley of missiles at the marines, and suppressing wash with machine gun fire. She landed on the car he was behind and was hopped onto the side as they took off for the pelican, “Took your time didn't you.”Washington said slyly, “I’m sure those guys back there would be willing to take you back wash, don’t make me, you know I will.” When they arrived back at the pelican, wash jumped off and Alaska landed the hornet and proceeded to torch it. Alaska walked in to the sight of north messing around with the controls, he’d obviously just been sent some instructions as by the looks he kept looking around for something. Alaska entered the cockpit as wash held back, She Cleared her throat and said: “Nice try north but you might want to read the instruction manual next time.” She exited the vehicle and took off the pads keeping the vents clear and then moved back inside and flicked a switch, to start the jets. She tapped north on the shoulder, “not bad for a first timer,” Wash took off his helmet and sat down, he turned his head to north, “you’ll get used to her, eventually” Wash turned his attention towards Iowa, inspecting his leg, “Good job it’s a simulation doc, that’s one hell of a wound” He shouted over to Alaska, "how long we going to be it’s not going to be long until the sim take him out due to blood loss,” Alaska came back into the back to reply, “We’re good to go we’re waiting on captain Cal”

Alaska followed Cal’s orders “Roger that moving out now.” She found the nearest ladder and climbed up onto the roof and jumped behind an AC block, the pilot was refueling just as shots started to fly down below, "So much for stealth,"she uttered to herself. She pulled out her magnum and placed five shots in his chest, she dragged him away from the Hornet making sure that there was no fuel that could ignite with anything. She pulled up the HUD of the Hornet, and took off, down below she saw the firefight between Cal and the soldiers, “Hey Cal, You look a bit outnumbered, down there do you want some fire support or should I focus on the others?” Wash followed Iowa’s orders moving out from around the back of him he managed to take one guy out with his pistol but there was more coming, the problem was they were heading towards Carolina.

Alaska had no objections and just nodded whilst replying in comedic tone “Understood Captain Cal” She moved up to the front wart hog and linked it up to her Suit, Doing a full EMP would cause way too much noise. Once fully linked she fired a small burst causing the warthog to be permanently disabled, unless they decided to do a full battery change, but that would take way too long. She unhooked herself from the port. She returned to the rally point and sounded off on the com to her squad. “Alaska reporting in Warthog 1 has been disabled, waiting at rally point,” Wash stuck with Iowa, He seemed to know what he was doing. The way he took out the soldier was with almost expert precision. The best part was that he didn’t kill him, a trait Wash had yet to learn. When they arrived at the tent Washington took up Iowa’s idea with open arms. He caught the knife in his right arm whilst taking his own with his left “It would be my pleasure, Give me two minutes” He activated his Strength boost and moved into the tent, He ran up to the first man and slit his knife with his right whilst spinning around and placing the other knife in his back, the third man had his gun pointed at wash’s head, but wash got there too fast he took his gun and smacked his chest with the butt of the rifle. He moved back outside the tent inviting the others in. He grabbed the knife from the body and threw at Iowa, “You might want to wash it before you use it again.” He moved up to the Man and unsecured him from his bonds. “Hey doc you want to give him the once over, whilst I report in to Cal?” he asked whilst wiping his knife against the side of the tent and deactivating his ability. He opened his com channel to everyone. “Hostage is secure, the Doc is giving him a once over, we’ll be ready to move on your mark.”

Alaska and Washington followed in behind Iowa. The door flung open and Alaska moved out only to be intercepted by Washington, “Listen sis, this mission relies on everyone, that means you too sis. Remember that you and I both know we were moved over to the team for a reason. Let’s show these guys what we’re worth. ” Alaska nodded along; she understood that her reputation was at stake. Washington proceeded to move over to Iowa and took cover behind checking his Shotgun, “You know what Penn I think I like your style. As soon as we go loud I think we’re gonna have some fun ” Alaska Noticed that the others had gone into a private channel she was interested in what they were talking about but Carolina seemed like the kind of guy who had his secrets, she was sure they all did. She looked out to the scene and looked at her options and moved back to the pelican, “Hey when you two are done chatting were ready to go, “I’m not sure how north will think about you two talking on your own” She said sarcastically. before double checking that the pelican was shut down correctly.
