REPORT 002 :: ROLL CALL // VIDEO
[There is a blond, 6ft 9in tall woman in a white suit, serving as her temporary alternative to what should have been the UNSC's Navy Service Uniform. She looks at the book, then gathers her breath to begin to talk.]
This is Sierra Twenty-Three, transmitting on an open channel. Any and all UNSC Forces in the area, respond.
[A pause, then an annoyed sigh. She was too used to her world, but she had to try, anyway.]
For everyone to whom I have not presented myself to, I am Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-023, United Nations Space Command, Office of Naval Intelligence Section Three, Naval Special Warfare.
I want to thank those that got me up to speed and assisted me during my introduction into this world. My world never had experience with spectral powers, so my hesitance to believe was... hindering.
[How can she explain the way she was without giving away too much?]
As my title and rank mentions, I belong to the armed forces of my world, so my return to a vaguely civilian life was unsettling in several ways, but I will do my best to adapt, and aid all whom I can.
Sierra Twenty-Three, out.

Don't overuse it. [Spoken playfully deadpan?] I don't give my name often.
...
Until now.

Navy, was it? I was in the Marines.
no subject
That would be correct, Mr. Stewart.
Your behavior gave you away. Though I am not sure if you're even from a branch of Earth. I've never seen that uniform.
[While you're a Marine, you're not a half-psychotic anti-Spartan helljumper, so you win points in her book.]

[More friendly aliens. What the hell? All she got were psychotic midgets and zealous man-sharks with lightsabers.]
no subject
[Which is altogether suspicious. How does life evolve on Earth the same in every iteration present, but the rest of the universe is utterly and totally inconsistent?]

2530. The Covenant. It's a collective of species we know little about. A religious hegemony bent on genocide that has ignored all attempts of contact, and have numbers and technology beyond that of humanity.
The UNSC -humanity- [The Covenant do not discriminate.], has been at war with them for five years, throughout several Colonies. But we are not winning.
no subject
[Although this suddenly gives more insight into her situation. An enemy superior in all ways? No wonder they need genetically bred super soldiers]
no subject
[The truth about her way of being is far less honorable than the survival of the human race. The less he knows about the origins of the SPARTAN-II, the better.]
no subject
Being only human may be your greatest advantage. Of all the species in the universe, none are as stubborn and tenacious in their fight for survival than we are. Don't count yourselves out just yet.
no subject
[The fact this man has been here longer than her, and has probably seen much more of the universe than she has, and has seen more of humanity... gives her some hope.]
Is it the same in other worlds?
no subject
[Even if humanity was the cause of its own troubles.]
We Green Lanterns are chosen by our strength of will, not for any other ability we might have. Humanity has that in abundance.
no subject
[If her world survives that war.]
...
You said you had seen an Earth. [This catches her attention.] You have been in other dimensions?
no subject
no subject
[A little too much so. Luceti's enough for her as it is.]
How did it happen? FTL Drive malfunction? [Yes, she had called bullshit on the whole "multiverse" and "magic" things before. Yes, she's convinced those things might not be as much fantasy as she thought they were.]
no subject
[These adventures are... special.]

[Except for Flash, who was there for both of those situations, even being the cause of the latter.]

[This was a first for a lot of them. But this was pushing her luck.]
I'm just surprised this place pulls people individually. Not whole ships.
[With what she has been able to understand, that should have been the most likely case scenario.]
