Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Uuuuhhhhh"
Knock, knock
"Demon it is time I lead you to the mess hall."
"Alright"Six said groggily
"it seems that no matter how much sleep I get I'm always tired..."
Six looked to the left of his bed and saw that Iris left her radio on his night shelf.
"Great now I have to go out of my way and return that."
Six stood and looked at himself in their mirror
Realizing he was so uncomfortable because he fell asleep in his armor again.
"Never looked better."
Six said to himself as he walked over to the door
Looking at the glowing tablet that had a few alien buttons on it
He pressed the one in the middle as it took up the most space
And the door opened with a ding

"Ahh good morning Demon"

"Good morning Tevva...?"

"Ahh yes you remembered my name now come along demon we must gather the others and lead them to the cafeteria"
"Alright"
Six said questioning why he had to be the first one awake
He was also surprised that his alarm went off right when the elite arrived but it was just a coincidence.
They began walking to the next rooms

" How did you sleep Demon?"
"As well as I could, I don't get much sleep these days"

"Im sure being on your enemies warship might have played a role in that"

"Maybe."
Six said even though in truth he didn't care about being on the enemies ship he could probably kill everything on it if he felt like it.

"We are approaching Admiral Hoods room"
the Sangheili knocked on the door and before saying a word it opened

"Good morning Commander, Noble"
"Morning Sir"

"Let us continue, I am sure by now many of you are hungry."
Six remembered who's door was next and gave out a sigh.....
"Why can't I just be left alone?"
He whispered under his breath

"Don't worry Noble I'm sure these piece talks will go by fine."

"Indeed"
They approached the next door and the zealot knocked.
"Demon it is time for breakfast."
They waited a couple moments But there was no response
"Demon are you awake?"
Again no response
"The elite was slightly annoyed and looked back at Lord hood and Six"
"We are coming in Demon."

The elite pressed its hand against the tablet overriding the lock.  the door opened with a ding

Looking inside with curiosity
The three stood in the door way to see
A sleeping woman with dark brown hair wrapped in a pony tail
And pale skin.
She seemed to be in a very deep sleep and obviously didn't want to be woken.

The elite looked at Lord Hood who looked at Noble Six who looked at.....
"Fine... I'll wake her"
Six said irritated

He walked over to the side of her bed and was about to gently shake her awake 
But then realized drool was coming down her mouth and looked back at the door frame
And shrugged

Turning back around he saw her alarm
That wasn't set......yet.
Six decided to turn the volume up to its loudest setting and set it for exactly one minute from now.

He carefully walked back to the doorframe
While Lord Hood and the Sangheili watched the sleeping spartan

"BEEEEEEPPPPP!!"
"BEEEEEEPPPPP!!"
"BEEEEEEPPPPP!!"
