[2/3]
”I've seen your file. Even the parts the ONI censors didn't want me to. I'm glad to have your skill set, but we're a team. That lone wolf stuff stays behind.”
Removed from Beta Company right after training, Noble Six was primarily allocated for solo stealth ops. The time under this mindset, Six developed a lone wolf tendency, as she would refrain from working in groups when given the choice. In the battlefield, Six is calm, quiet, and extremely deadly. She has no problem eliminating a target, rarely dwelling on her actions in active combat. Six gets the job done under any circumstance.
Six is a bit of the quiet type. While she can be stirred into conversation, at most times they are initiated by someone else, and her responses are concise. She speaks like a soldier: respectful to superiors, keeps on topic, and makes sure to relay all useful information.
Under a squad for the first time since training, Six has had to adapt to the change in dynamics. While she does still tend to go solo, Six is still a soldier as well as a rookie to the team, so she will never step outside her direct orders. When instructed to stick with a partner, she does, and when it becomes necessary to separate, she regroups as soon as physically possible. Because of the new team dynamic, she remains quiet and listens to her superiors, hardly ever chiming in while the group is in discussion and is hardly ever seen giving orders. While she technically outranks several of her teammates, they are more experienced in how their team runs, and Six recognizes that seniority. She’s confident in her abilities, but the ability of one soldier means nothing if they cannot function in the unit they’re assigned to.
Not to say she holds no command authority. When placed in charge of a UNSC infantrymen squad, Six leads her team best to her ability and the situation at hand. She does her damndest to keep who she can alive and on target, and she would take the bullet before letting anyone else.
"I aim to please."
Most of what humanity lies outside the soldier reflects in how she interacts with other people. Despite the imposing presence for most normal people, Six cares for the people she has been brought in to protect, as she will assist and/or comfort both civilians and soldiers. When separated from the team, Six readily helps evacuate New Alexandria before she can make contact again. In a matter of a few days and many life-or-death situations, Six forms bonds with her teammates, more notably her friendship with Jorge-052. They share banter and a connection in their desire to help people. She’s a rather good listener, and seems to be more curious about other people’s stories than telling her own.
"Sorry I came alone."
After Jorge sacrificed himself, Six is notably distressed, keeping hold of the soldier’s dogtags and checking several times to make sure she still has them. This feeling of loss and inevitability multiplies as the rest of Noble Team fall one by one. Soldiers die; that is the truth of war, as well as there is a time and place to grieve them.
Most notable is Noble Six’s courage. When the time comes, Six is ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to do what is right ensure the safety of others. Even though she is given the chance to evacuate, Six stays behind on Reach to take Emile’s place on the Mass driver to give the last shuttle cover. At this point, Reach was lost, and there would be no rescue, and Six was fully aware of this. And yet, she chose to make her last stand.
”…But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor—all burned and turned to glass. Everything... except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.”
Abilities/Powers:
"Hyper-lethal... there's only one other Spartan with that rating."
Recruited into the SPARTAN III program at a young age, Six is a bred soldier. Unlike their SPARTAN II counterparts, SPARTAN IIIs were produced on a massive scale by taking in less genetically specific children as cheaper and more expendable troops. Six, pooled from Beta Company, received the same training and bio-augmentation as the 300 other recruits. The augmentations greatly improved Six in almost every attribute: skeleton became virtually indestructible, increased muscle density, color sharpness increased, and improved reaction time. These same augmentations put her at a height of 6’9”.
Removed from Beta Company immediately after training, Six went on to improve her skills further under her superior, becoming “his personal grim reaper.” An efficient assassin, Six is highly proficient in a number of firearms, as well as skilled in hand to hand. Six also received training as a pilot, taking part as a test pilot for the Sabre Program.
She is also equipped with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor Mark V with the Mark V[B] helmet, dark grey shell coating. The Mark V is standard issue of Noble Team, providing several layers of protection, pressure sealing, force-multiplying and reactive circuits that amplify the natural physical abilities of the SPARTAN, and is powered by small fusion reactor.
For the sake of limiting, most of the systems that are connected to the onboard computer found in the helmet will be offline. This includes the HUD, filters, air supply, thermal and motion sensors, communications, solar-powered lighting, and imaging and video gear. Only the sensors that create the neural links that allows suit to move will be functional.
no subject
[Video clicks onto someone that, quite frankly, looked far from a person. Frankly, Noble Six wasn’t entirely concerned about making an impression as she was getting the phone to actually work. Big hands and small devices don’t always mesh well.]
UNSC command. This is Noble Six. All comms are down. Attempting a hail through an unknown open channel. Do you read?
[Still nothing. Six expected as much; this radio looks incredibly ancient, and without any transmitter towers, there was no way this thing would clear the atmosphere, let alone reach Command from unknown coordinates.]
Civilians receiving who have not been evacuated, confirm your status. I need any vital intel that can be provided about this city, priority on anything concerning Covenant presence.
[Closing the channel quickly, just in case of tracking. If she was lucky, no one would receive the call. If this Haven was still on Reach, anyone who wasn’t gone by now didn’t stand a chance.]
Sample Entry Two:
Spartans never die.
That phrase, she first heard it in training. It was drilled over and over while legends continued to be born.
If this wasn’t death, Noble Six had no other explanation to what was going on. The Covenant, elites closing in hard and fast with no end to their numbers in sight. Bullets whizzing past her head. Their strength pressing against her own. That was real. That was the world Six knew and fought for.
But this? Waking up in a bed in a deserted city? What had been reality only flashes of memories?
Six put her hand to her head. She…she must’ve been knocked out, and someone must’ve dragged her here for medical support. Some civilians who didn’t make it off of Reach perhaps? Her attention turned to the window, her eyes quickly gathering all they needed to. The cityscape was very old fashioned: architecture was completely different than what she’s seen on Reach, or any colonies for that matter. What was familiar was the state the city was in. Definitely looked like an attack, old enough for the dust to settle.
Haven…
