A. Bronze sanctum

This was... Nothing Washington ever would have expected to have happen. Especially not after having woke up in recovery with the Dakotas waiting. There'd been chaos, and the next thing he knew, he was here, his head won't stop hurting, and the back of his neck is still recovering from the implantation and removal. The problem? He's having a little trouble focusing on things since arriving. Between what's left in his head from the AI and the shock... He probably shouldn't be surprised. He shook his head, trying to clear it. He's spending way too much time in his own thoughts.

B. Outside the sanctum (Silverglen Retreat area)

After he'd had a little recovery time, he finally did get curious enough that he wanted to see what was outside. And as comfortable as he should be in his new home? The Bronze Sanctum was nothing like what he was used to.

It was a change, the forested area. What was extra odd was he was starting to notice some odd things as he looked around. Tracks that he probably wouldn't have noticed before. After a bit, he shrugged it off, starting to look around the outskirts of the village. v He's a bit on edge regardless. Things don't feel right here.

"I'm a conscript of the same dragonflight as you," Saori replied with a sardonic smile. She's not bitter at all, no sir. "I am Saori. And you are?"

Washington nodded at that. "As good a way of describing it as any. Agent Washington of the UNSC."

UNSC. The armor. That's what finally makes it click for her. Her brow furrows, recognition of...something apparent on her face. She remains silent for a moment, before finally nodding and speaking up again. "It's nice to meet you, Agent Washington. I'm sorry, I just...did you say UNSC?"

Washington nodded at that. "Nice to meet you as well. And yes, I did. You've heard of it?" That was a surprise, given the situation.

Saori's head bobbed in affirmation. "I have. A friend of mine was a soldier in the UNSC. A...Spartan? I think that's what she called herself. She wore armor like yours, too, though it was pink-ish."

Washington was startled by the.. familiarity. This person didn't seem like a UNSC type. "The colors can vary person to person in this style of armor." And Wash was far from the level of the Spartans.

She's not, but...as Washington will soon find out, other worlds make for strange acquaintances. "Can they? I didn't know. But...does the name Daisy mean anything to you? I believe she was a Chief Petty Officer."

Washington shook his head. "There were many colors among the agents of the project I was with. As for knowing her... The UNSC is a large organization."

She shrugged. "I didn't think so, but one can always hope. You may not have even been from the same time as her, after all."

Pausing, Saori looked back at the sanctum's portal. "I take it you arrived only today?"

Washington nodded at that. "It's possible, if you consider the weirdness of this place. And yes, I just arrived here."

"Already found the sanctum inhospitable?" Saori mused in a dry voice. "I know I certainly did."

"It's strange. Not completely inhospitable, but nothing like home."

"Fair enough. There's a whole world to explore out here, after all. And things to do. I've been camping out here because the sanctum is very inhospitable for my kind, and because I was tired of raw meat." She affects a smile, but it's tired. "I take it you've gotten a briefing, of sorts?"

Washington nodded. "Of sorts. And it is a big world out here. Not used to being planetside in this kind of environment."

If she could see his face, there'd be a slight amount of disgust. But he'll survive it.
