One Size Fits All

A Master Gunnery Sergeant inspects the Master Chief's new armor as with yours already being the latest model and fully upgraded you just stood to one side pondering with your arms crossed.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Well, I guess it was all obsolete, anyway."

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Your new suit's a Mark VI, just came up from Songnam this morning. Try and take it easy till you get used to the upgrades."

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Okay, let's test your targeting, first thing. Please look at the top light."

The Chief done as she was told by looking at the light.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Good. Now look at the bottom light."

Once the Chief does as she's told.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Alright. Look at the top light again."

Once the Chief does as she's told.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "That's it. Now the bottom one."

Once the Chief does as she's told

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Okay."

Once diagnostic tests are complete.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Stand by. I'm gonna offline the inhibitors. Move around a little, get a feel for it. When you're ready, come and meet me by the zapper."

The Master Chief moves over to the shield recharge station.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Pay attention, 'cause I'm only going over this once. This station will test your recharging energy shields. Step on in, I'll show ya."

The Chief steps in the station.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Your new armor's shields are extremely resilient, very efficient. Much better than the Covenant tech we used for the Mark V. Step into the red square Chief, and we'll get started. Go ahead and press the red switch to start the shield test."

The Chief presses the red switch. The machine zaps the Chief's shields, and they slowly recharge.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Bingo! As you can see, they recharge a lot faster!"

You heard the elevator go off as you turn towards the elevator as the door opens, and a Sergeant, known as Sergeant Johnson, steps out wearing a dress uniform.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "If your shields go down, find some cover, wait for the meter to read fully charged."

Sergeant Major Johnson: "That, or she can hide behind me. You done with my soldier here, Master Gunns? I don't see any training wheels."

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Her armour's working fine, Johnson, so shut your chili-hole. You're free to go, son, just remember, take things slow."

Sergeant Johnson: "Don't worry, I'll hold her hand. Your coming to Noble 6"

The Spartans then enters the elevator.

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "So, Johnson, when you gonna tell me how you made it back home in one piece?"

Sergeant Johnson: "Sorry, Gunns. It's classified."

Master Gunnery Sergeant: "Huh! My ass! Well, you can forget about those adjustments to your A2 scope! And you're surely..."

The doors close and the elevator rises.

Sergeant Johnson: (sarcastically) "Well, he's in a particularly fine mood. Maybe Lord Hood didn't give him an invitation."

The elevator stops, the doors open and the Spartans and Johnson get out to board a small tram. It starts to move, with a view of the crew of the Cairo Station going about their business and a backdrop of windows displaying the station and the stars. The planet Earth comes into view. As the tram starts moving, Sergeant Johnson comments on the things passing by the windows.

Sergeant Johnson: "Earth... haven't seen it in years. When I shipped out for basic, the Orbital Defense Grid was all theory and politics. Now look! The Cairo is just one of three hundred geosync platforms. That MAC gun can put a round clean through a Covenant capital ship. With coordinated fire from the Athens and the Malta, nothing's getting past this battle cluster in one piece."

Several UNSC ships drift past the station.

Sergeant Johnson: "Ships have been arriving all morning. Nobody's saying much, but I think something big's about to happen."

The tram stops, and they walk out to join a crowd of cheering Marines.

Y/N L/N: (Mind) "Great I hate celebrations"
