Chapter 1- When You Need Me

The derelict remains of the UNSC frigate Forward unto Dawn had been floating freely in the dark depths of space for what felt like eternity. But upon checking the holographic clock Sakura found it had in fact been less than a few hours. But to her it might as well have been a millennium. Her systems were usually distracted, encapsulated in the thousands of processes necessary to control the Dawn. However now that the ship had been disabled the only thing required of her was to ensure the power did not give out from underneath her, which to her was the biological equivalent of a human remembering to breathe.
It left her conscious ‘mind’ undistracted, unfocused. She spent her time staring aimlessly into the sea of random dots of light spotted across the darkened sky. Another form crackled to life on the holoprojector beside her, the projector being designed solely for one avatar the characters were nearly smashed together, their forms flickering and sparking as the collided with one another.
“I just finished checking over the ships remaining systems” Cortana stared out across the same stars, but she failed to see what was so encapsulating about them. “It looks as though the Arbiter was on the bridge when the slipspace hole closed, I don’t know whether he survived or where he may have ended up” Cortana remained silent for a few moments.
Sakura broke the silence “I am afraid that the power systems will not last more than a few more days, a week at most. We won’t survive long after that”
Cortana didn’t seemed phased by the idea “That’s not what I’m concerned about” Sakura seemed rather perplexed, but then she remembered the frozen hulk that had startled her when she had first emerged here.
“You’re worried about your soldier?” Sakura spoke with serene sympathy.
She nodded lightly “We are designed to be extendable” Cortana planted her hand against the cryo tube. “But he’s alive. A human” She turned back towards the cool exterior out past the armoured walls surrounding them. “We were designed to ‘live’ for less than six/seven years before we die. But he’s a living being, he survives a hundred battles, he’s taken on countless opponents numbering thousands and limitless strength, and he gets taken down by the cold of space. That doesn’t seem right”
Sakura began to see the harsh reality of the situation they now faced, the truth that this could be their final moments. It was harsh but true, she just had to accept that.
Sakura was suddenly shaken from her thoughts. She was thrown against Cortana, the two of them landing harshly onto the projectors base. “What happened?” Sakura pleaded for an answer. The entire ship was shaking beneath them. Sakura and Cortana pulled themselves onto their feet. With the loss of the majority of the ships primary sensors they relied totally on what they could glimpse from outside the scarred viewpoint leading out from the Cryobay. They both expected to see a Covenant fleet massed, their turrets primed to destroy the derelict with barely a stutter. But instead they saw something neither of them could have imagined in their wildest dreams.
Outside the viewport a pulsating sphere flashed harshly just past the viewport. Below them hung a planet sparkling with blinking lights. The derelict ship seemed to be advancing towards the planet with alarming speed. “What do we do?” Sakura asked, hoping to utilize Cortana’s experience in intense situations.
“Search the ships systems, find something we can use to slow us down” Sakura nodded in acknowledgment closing her eyes and holding her arms out eagle. She dissolved herself back into the ships systems. Cortana turned her attention towards the Cryotube holding the master Chief.
She reached into the Cryobays systems, retracting the locks and beginning the thawing process that would reawaken his dormant body. “Chief, wake up!”
She stared into his golden visor, seeing past the hard outer exterior into his inner emotional surface. “Come on. Wake up!” She cried, her calls seemingly having no effect on rousing him from his slumber. She threw her palms against the cold outer casing, the beams of light reflected against the polished metal. “John, wake up. I need you”
Sakura remerged onto the projector. “I’ve searched the ships systems thoroughly, the propulsion systems are gone and most other systems are damaged beyond repair. We’re being pulled down towards the planet below, caught in its gravitational well”
Cortana glanced back at her swiftly, then turning to face the open wound in the ships structure, staring at the blinking lights they had both found as mesmerising as they came ever closer to them. “We have to jump” Cortana said plainly.
Sakura was shocked at the shear idea “You can’t be serious?”
Cortana’s gaze was serious but underneath it was an obvious tint of fear. Besides Sakura’s regard for her life, she deeply concerned herself with the fate of her friend Miranda’s remains. But she knew that sacrifices had to be made in order for them to survive.
Cortana persisted in attempting to wake the Chief from his unending slumber. But to no avail. Outside, the hull of the derelict ship began to flare red hot, weakened spots of armour boiling away under the intense heat of re-entry.
The holograms of Sakura and Cortana began to flicker and die as they were snuffed out of existence, the intense heat now eating away at the power conduit that supplied the unit with its necessary life blood. The overhead lights died, the bright holograms flickering from existence. Consuming the three of them in perpetual darkness.
