Halo:Fan-Fiction

Chapter 8 - The Plan

"Commander? Six? Emile?" responded Jun as he raised his head to look at them.

"A sight for sore eyes Jun. How are you here? Why do you have Kat's body?" asked Carter as he scanned Jun.

"After dropping Dr. Hasley off I decided to look for everyone's bodies. I figured the Noble team should be buried together. I came here first in hopes of finding you guys but to no avail. I did encounter Buck though and decided to help this group," answered Jun.

"Thank you for doing this Jun but you shouldn't risk yourself for dead bodies. As much as we should be together I don't want you treading through covenant just to recover us," stated Carter.

"I agree," said Six and then he continued "I wouldn't want to you to risk your life for my body, however, this does work for us."

"Let's continue this conversation in private. Bring Kat along I think she can recover from her injury," stated Carter while signaling to Jun to follow along.

"Sure, I've got an area where she can recover and we can discuss. Follow me, Buck here's the supplies I gathered," said Jun while handing a backpack to Buck and then walking forward.

Noble team followed Jun deeper into the canyon. They arrived at a small hut made with a few UNSC crates and a camo dr.a.p.e overtop.

"So explain to me why you signaled me to go along with this. It definitely isn't the MIA protocol," questioned Jun.

"Six," commanded Carter.

Six walked up to Kat's body and spoke to the system.

'Activate "Party Revive".'

[Activating "Party Revive"...]

Jun was astonished. Kat's body began to cocoon up like Emile and Carter's revival. The cocoon released her and she was caught by Six, however, this revival wasn't the same. As soon as she was released Kat screamed.

"AHHHHH!" screamed Kat with all her lungs and then continued to scream.

"Six, what's going on?" asked Carter as he was speaking over Kat's screams.

"I don't know! Give me a sec I'll ask the system." responded Six.

"There better be a good reason for this," said Jun while looking at Kat.

'System what in the world is going on?'

[Answering: Kat is currently adjusting to your stats.]

'What doing you mean?'

[Responding: Unlike the others who had a bit of time to adjust to the system Kat did not. A person when revived is immediately introduced to the system and their body is adjusted to the attributes of the host. Party members scale with host's attributes. In Kat's case, her body wasn't even comparable to your strength so to jump so fast to that strength will cause incredible pain. Jorge will have to go through something similar but it will be due to your intelligence if you continue down the path you're going. You could hold off allocating attributes to save Jorge some pain but it would put you and your party at risk.]

'So does everyone just has their initial attributes and when I level attributes up they gain some as well?'

[Answering: Yes, however not as much. The system can only provide so much benefit. You will always be the best out of them all. Currently, though you have not passed Carter in charisma and Kat in intelligence.]

'So will Kat be fine?'

[Answering: Yes, just give her some time. You could gag her if you wanted.]

'Uhh, I think I'll just wait out her screaming.'

"The system says she'll be fine soon. Her body is just adjusting to my attributes. Apparently, the party scales with my attributes," yelled Six over Kat's screaming that was slowly dying down.

"Alright, fill me in now. Kat's alive and there's some kind of system?" asked Jun.

"Let's wait till Kat's up and then you'll get everything," spoke Carter.

"Fine, but I don't being like held in the dark. I'll be waiting outside," said Jun walking out of the hut.

"Emile go after him. You can explain a bit to him if you want but I just want to save the explanation," commanded Carter.

"Roger that," said Emile as he left.

A few minutes pass and Kat has finally come to her senses. Jun and Emile come back into the hut with Jun looking semi-satisfied now that Kat's up. Six and Carter take turns with them explaining what the system did with Emile putting his sense in every now and then.

"So can I get in on this system thing? It seems like you could invite me to the party?" asks Jun.

"I'll give it a shot," responded Six.

'System invite Jun back to the party.'

[Inviting Jun-A266...]

[Jun has joined the Party.]

"Jun can you feel my attributes affecting your body?" wondered Six.

"Yeah, I can. I feel some stress on my body. It makes sense why Kat would wake up screaming," said Jun.

"Well duh, I wouldn't scream for no reason. Though I do feel a whole lot stronger. Do you think the system might be able to restore my arm?" asks Kat.

"I'll ask and find out,"

'System can you fix her arm?'

[Answering: You can. You would need to raise your wisdom more. "Treat injury" would be able to do it, however, it scales with Wisdom and to regrow an arm you would need 40 in wisdom.]

"It seems I can if I use "Treat injury" but it's not at that level where I can regrow an arm." answered Six.

"So it looks like I'll be getting my arm back soon," stated Kat.

"All this is good. Now we need a plan," said Jun.

"Alright well, we've got two goals. One we need to get Jorge back. Kat can you determine where his body might have landed?" asked Carter.

"I can but give me some time. And maybe Six can level his intelligence so I can get a boost as well," said Kat.

"What's our second goal?" asked Emile.

"We need to protect these people here and get supplies for them. I think we'll need to split up on this. Kat, Six, and I will go after Jorge when Kat determines where he's at. Emile and Jun do some supply runs. Sound good?" said Carter.

"Sounds good, I've got a place to do a supply run but I needed more firepower and Emile fits the bill. I've got a pelican you guys can use deeper in the canyon to find Jorge," stated Jun.

"Alright, Six I want to talk to you about some stuff. Everyone else you know what you're doing. Get started." commanded Carter.
