Journal entry [Redacted]: Forgiveness was never the option

The recording buzzes in, cutting out the initial parts of the meeting.

Newbie: We cannot think about forgiving them, they are monsters!

There is a pause, following the ONI agent pinching her eyebrows together.

076: Captain Reynolds, you can’t-

She tries to finish her sentence but is interrupted by an abrupt movement from Captain Reynolds. There are sounds of guns getting readied following some choking, someone fires off around and after a few seconds, the ONI agent is dropped- Captain Reynolds walking back to his seat.

Newbie: The Covenant and its many races are nothing more than heartless monsters that slaughtered countless billions all in the name of a religion, they are no better than our race when we were nothing but religions brutes killing innocents for gods that never came to help us.

The Agent ignores Captains Reynolds words and responds after catching her breath.

076: Captain do that again and I will have you-

Newbie: Killed? Like the last three times? Ask your questions before I walk out of here, I have better things to do than make a fake interview.

Captains Reynolds interrupts the agent once more, slamming the table to silence the agent. This agent has been with ONI for 4 years and she is being intimidated by an ODST captain. Note#673 Taken.

The captain inhales slowly, walking around the room, inspecting the 4 Guards in each corner of the room.

Newbie: They have killed more innocents than ONI has in all of their adventures capturing children and torturing them to what end? Two whole multi-billion programs were made just for making child soldiers, influencing them and making them fight our wars.

The ONI agent is caught off guard, it seems that Captain Reynolds has used his “Social” skills once more, introduction to Section 2 will be considered for the  [REDACTED] time.

076: “Our” war captain?

He inhales deeply, glancing at her with little care. a gentle exhale can be heard as he makes a swift movement, his elbow hitting a man that was dressed in an active camouflage suit. He disables the man with the swift movement to the liver, as almost ten guards come out of cloak with lasers pointed at his head. 

Newbie: Cheaping out on me [REDACTED], I thought you did your research?

076: How did you know my name-

Newbie: To answer your question, We are soldiers. some are more cowardly than the rest but regardless we are not civilians. Civilians are the only reason we fight, it separates us from the Rebels, the Covies and all the other Terrors we face on a daily basis. People that want to live their lives in peace, they don't want any part of our bloody wars, our senseless fighting, we only defend for them. They have no part in wars, they have no part in what we do and it's our sole responsibility to die for the protection of others. 076 there are people out there that Sympathise for those bastards, that they too have lost brothers and sisters in wars. Their “Feelings” have no meaning!!

There is a moment of silence as he inhales softly, taking a seat after setting up the chair he knocked over, gesturing the agent to be seated.

Newbie: I ended that by sounded arrogant, and I apologize. But a human that has a hole in his or her gut, a missing limb and somehow still fights on just for the knowledge of protecting those that cannot protect themselves is a hero, regardless of how many of the enemy they kill they die for the honour of protecting the innocent.

He takes a slow breath

Newbie: A spartan that has no proper knowledge of free will, and is led to believe that they are nothing more than weapons, CHILDREN that are influenced to think that they are soldiers is a damn lie. They are nothing more than slaves, good people, good children that ONI forces into slavery. some of my closest friends are spartans so know that I love my family, regardless of where they come from. but that doesn't change that they are not heroes they are slaves. forced into a lifestyle none of them wanted.

076: So you are ungrateful for the spartans, and how they have saved us as a race?

At this point, the agent has forgotten the script and is now asking her own questions.

Newbie: The next time you put words in my mouth I will make you and the rest of this room the 4th reason im a contract, clear 076?

The agent clears her throat, failing to hide her fear, some of the guards lower their guns and have slow breathing, the air seems thick, as only Captain Reynolds was calm.

Newbie: I love the spartans, and they are the main reason we are still alive. you never let me finished to my comparison Agent, please do not interrupt me and hold all questions until after I am done, apologize for raising my voice.

In but mere moments Captain Reynolds went from being as angry as the sun to more calm then a spring breeze, his skills in masking his emotions are confusing. 

Note#674 Taken.

Newbie: Danger to Civilians are why we have soldiers. a weakness in soldiers compared to the URF and Covenant causes us to use children, slaves, to fight our wars. When a Marine loses a battle brother its something that will tear most men and women apart, it separates the soldiers from armed civilians in armour.  Its something that brings out the purest parts of our race. 

He takes a deep breath to contain anger.

Newbie: When a [CENSORED] Covie piece of [CENSORED] [CENSORED] loses a worthless no good [CENSORED] excuse for a criminal scummy “Battle brother” its nothing. 

He does not succeed and the guards have guns on the ready.

Newbie: They are a group of races that kill civilians with no worry or care in the worlds, and even keep some as trophies. One grunt that fires off a fuel rod that kills a whole room full of soldiers and civilians is considered a strong warrior with the covenant. But ONI hides its murders, and any Marine, ODST, anyone that is apart of the UNSC kills an innocent Elite or grunt is seen as a villain, can you tell me why that is 076? 

The agent is silent, no clarity on how to answer as Captain Reynolds stands up, walking to the door of the room.

076: You would be an amazing spartan, Newbie.

Newbie: I get that a lot.]

076: That was not a compliment.

There is a moment of silence

076: It never is, is it?

Outside the door once unlocked, stands a tall woman in [Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor]. She puts a hand on Captain Reynolds shoulder as they both walk out, the recording ends there

Termination of 076 following scrubbing is heavily recommended.

Journal entry [Redacted]: Just keep pushing

16:43: Every single day I have to fight this...urge. After what happened with Maddox and [Redacted] I’m not sure I want to do this anymore. Too many times has ONI and the UNSC made me question morales and I can’t keep doing this.

I want to retire. I want to be free of this constant suffering that people go through. I want to stop helping people all day only to see those same people dead the next day. I don’t want any of this anymore, the glory of dropping from the sky in the metal coffin, it’s gone. I’ve been in this for almost 3 years now and I’m such a high rank but yet I still feel like I’ve done nothing.

I used to be such a hero to so many people back in my glory days and all those people are dead or retired.

Earlier today as I woke up I thought about resigning from this hell hole, and I was about to go to the captain and talk to him about ending this nightmare.

But as I was putting my signature, my phone had buzzed, so instinctively I picked it up. And I saw her, enjoying herself and making so many new friends.

After so much time giving therapy and support, she’s finally come out of her shell. I’m so proud of that spartan but it makes me think very deeply...

Does she even need me anymore?

Does any of my men need me anymore?

Would it be better just to quit and let someone else take my rank?

My men?

The people I trained?

Who would miss me if I left?

These questions keep me up at night and I can’t handle this anymore.

...but that’s why I do this

To help people no matter the cost, and even if they die the next day I can know I made their last momesnt enjoyable or less painful then it needed to be.

My job is to take care of people no matter what.

That’s why I joined the UNSC, to help the people that help humanity

Marines, Spartans, ODST are all our saviours.

And even if the people I try to hard to help forget me, that doesn’t change that I know the impact I made.

And at the end of the day, if helping others is a way to help myself

Then, I guess I can keep going.

Staying strong for those who can’t be strong is my specialty and I’ll be damned if some bad thoughts stop me from helping people.

I’m not going to delete this, I want to keep this as a way to remind myself of why I do this.

Sometimes the most obvious answers can be forgotten, it happens to everybody

I love you mom and know that I will be coming home soon

XOXO, Jason

P.S Tell Auntie and Panda I said hi!

Audio Log #001

.-Recovering File-….

.-File Playback starting now-

An overwhelming amount of static could be heard, before completely silence followed. After several seconds.. someone could be heard clearing their throat.

S118_..

So uh… this is a thing again. I almost forgot how to use it till Ja-… Newbie.. helped me get it setup again.

A string of curse words came in the form of a whispered groan.

S118_..

I don’t have to hide things on this I forgot. I can call him Jason. It’s my audio logs after all. Okay… well um.. Hi - … uh… who am I even talking to with this. He usually does his journals for his mom. I don’t have…

A sigh followed, another clear of the throat, before the female continued.

S118_..

This is the new audio logs of Sierra-118…

Lilith. My names Lilith. I’m rusty at this.. casual talk. He wants me to try to remember I’m human though so… I figured this would be a good place to start. I’m the Commander of the Spartan Fireteams Nyx and Phoenix.. I just kind of.. oversee their operations and work with ONI on base when they need me. Anyway..um… ****…. I don’t know what to talk about… I.. had a burger for the first time today.. well at least.. that I can remember. One of the marines went into town and brought back a bunch for everyone. He looked so scared when I walked up and asked for one. I guess.. they aren’t really use to me talking to them, let alone asking for such things. I’ve been trying too more though… for Jason. The uh.. the burger was good. Ok no.. it was pretty great actually. I loved it. I wonder if I can convince Jason to take me into town to get another one tonight.. I wish I could go in my casual clothes. It’s been.. refreshing wearing them more often. Of course.. no one knows it’s me or really stops me to ask who I am so.. that’s probably why. I don’t get stared at… that’s nice.

Another sigh, this one much longer, it settling into another awkward silence.

S118_..

This.. this is stupid. I’m done.

The new intro for my server!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1P2THiDFc&feature=youtu.be

Enlist today!

[the-odst-that-could]

Newbie turned around and made a slight squeak noise as he fell backwards, looking confused as he stared right up to him.

“...What are yo- Ah not important, how are we getting out of this??” He got up quickly, only having his SOCOM as protection.

The small ODST was very intrigued on what was in front of him, but he also knew it was not the time to ask un-important questions.

The alterante route

#I saw that refrence -w-

[the-odst-that-could]

No matter how hard he tried he could not open the door to the shelter, running outside to see the beam come closer, hope was dissipating faster than the ground that surrounded him

Quietly he exhaled, running back inside to continue pulling at the shelter doors.

If he was going, he would go out fighting in some way.

The alterante route

[the-odst-that-could]

Newbie was slowly regaining consciousness as he rose upwards. Looking around him to see the planet being driven to chaos as more beams of light shot into the planet.

He got up quickly, holding his head in pain with a bruise on the side of his face. Swiftly he ran to the air field only to see destruction. In a moment of greed that man that knocked Newbie out unknowingly saved him from death. But for how long could he survive?

He looked to see a ship heading his way, causing him to quickly run to a shelter that had a door into the ground. The old nuclear shelter was sure to help protect him from the beam, only if they did not stay on that spot for too long. Luck was his only friend as he tried to pull open the hatch.

The most he did was make it move a few inches, but without the computer active to open it the shelter could not be opened.

In a last effort to see who could help him, he shot a red flare right into the sky, retreating back to the entrance of the shelter to pry it open, with little success.

The alterante route

Hey just a quick note, this in no way affects the story and is just an rp with @kedvesorias, so enjoy!

Newbie was sitting in his bunks, typing into his journal entry as per usual. He was on relief duty on a medical team away from a UNSC/URF warzone, near an old Nuclear shelter that was being scrapped for usage of the UNSC frigates, unaware of the glassing approaching him.

He was resting with a smile on his face, writing to his step-sister Haley with love and affection. He looked to the skies outside his window to see a storm coming near. He sighed, getting up to walk over to the shelter the camp was set up on to get gear to help hold everything down from the strong winds. A thought did hit him as he put on his BDU. 

It’s the summertime and there was supposed to be a Halycon in the sky.

He looked once more to see lightning approaching close, an outline of an odd looking ship that fired off a beam of brilliant purple light into a URF base on a mountain, quickly turning it to rubble.

Before the poor boy could call out to his officers, he saw men run to Falcons and pelicans to try and escape. They did not have enough space for everyone at the base, as the new batch of recruits had just come in hours before. Stunned by the fear in everyone around him, he turned to see the butt end of a gun hit him in the face, knocking him out

Saving someone else a seat.

Kill Switch

The air was still, warm as light beamed off of the steel walls, and tile floor.

Newbie stood in his Formals, the black colour of the ODST Formal suit absorbing the light around him. 

Quiet enough for him to hear flooding in his ears, the blood running inside of him, it was maddening.

He had waited for this day, the day he could assert justice into the terrorist that killed good men and women.

Behind him was the two Spartans that loved and cared for him, Spartan II E118 Lilith and Spartan III E343 Marius, trying to give him support behind the one-way glass.

With a deep breath, he walked inside the darkroom, that damn freelancer sitting there with blood on her face, hands bound as well as feet.

‘Murderer...’

The only word came to mind when he looked at her, the red was natural for her.

The names of all the ODST, all the Marines she 

killed 

murdered

Executed

Slaughtered

The words to use for the crimes she caused were endless

He inhaled deeply, moving towards his chair with pent rage.

Sitting himself down he exhaled, clearing his throat to make the freelancer looked up, barely any light was on her face.

“Freelancer, are you aware why you are here?”

There was just silence from her, spit and blood hitting the table. She was not easy to capture but Black team never fails.

“I am, a very kind and gentle person Freelancer, please be happy that no one else took my place, as I very much wanted to see how a Psychopathic Murderer reacts to facing her demons.”

Her face looked shocked when she heard the word Murderer, Newbies anger almost got the best of him as he exhaled deeply, sitting upwards with hands on the table.

“Don’t act like you don’t Know what you did Agent...Her birthday is today- Did you know that?”

As he spoke he pushed a button on the table the pulled down a screen, showing a smiling, white-haired Marine Medic with some family.

”Maria. A mother of six wonderful children and two days away from retirement before YOU SLAUGHTERED HER AND THE REST OF HER PLATOON!”

When he raised his voice, he grabbed her by the collar and pulled her in so they were nose to nose, her face pained with tears slowly running down her cheek.

A video played from Her helmet camera, showing her treating a shot marine. The marine points to the side, her camera quickly turning to the windows in the room she was in as a bright light of a SPNKR round crashed through the glass.

The recording ended with multiple screams of pain, newbie letting go of her.

On the other side of the glass, Lilith was worried for him. Putting her hand to the glass as if she was trying to be there beside him, protecting him from any mistake he might make.

“...that...we weren't....”

Her voice was soft, pain flooding her as more tears broke through. She was trying to speak to him, trying to tell him that she was not at fault, and was told she was in the right in killing them. That to her THEY were the bad guys.

That she regretted ever listening to his orders so blindly to be better than her.

Newbie’s anger was bubbling, 26 UNSC personal slaughtered and 36 ODST eviscerated. Men and woman that had children, 

were brothers

Sisters

Fathers

Mothers 

Friends

Dead.

He was ready to hit the freelancer, not seeing the pain in her face. Blinded by the rage of those that was lost in her Conquest.

“YOU WEREN’T WHAT!?”

Newbie called out, punching her directly in the jaw, a tooth flying out to the floor with a splatter of blood surrounding it.

He walked around the table, pulling her to the wall with anger in his eyes, Both Marius and Lilith shocked to see this side of newbie

Newbie. The soul that was thrown into a time that used kindness like his against him.

The one who never gave in the pain of Betrayal and loss.

A Smile that could bring hope in the worst of times.

Ever since that operation, he’s had that...Killswitch implemented into him

Whatever Maddox made him do, it almost killed newbie and replaced him with some heartless soldier, but he pushed through the trauma.

Was this what he would have been? A soul filled with hate and anger?

As he held her, he thought of multiple ways to kill her where she stood, horrible ways to slaughter her like she did with the soldiers.

She looked him in the eyes, blood on her lips and tears in her eyes.

A face of fear, not a killer

Newbie quickly realized what he was told was not accurate, and thought the same could be said to her.

Newbie sighed, moving the freelancer to her seat, sitting her down as he sat across her, looking down to his feet

There was a moment of silence, instead of his blood...it was her tears flowing, the coughing and the pain in her voice with silent sobbing.

He offered her a towel, cleaning some blood off of her face gently. It caused her to stop what she was doing, looking at him with more questions than worries.

“...Did you know they were good people?”

The question hung around for a short while between the both of them.

She quietly nodded side to side, crying more with the realization of what she was forced to do, hating herself for it. for the guilt of all those people she killed.

She didn't know they were good men and women, to her they were thieves and murders.

Newbie saw the pain she was in, and though back to the first and only ONI operation he did... what Maddox made him do...

It made his stomach turn to see him act in such a way, to someone that was blind of their sins.

He walked beside her, causing her to shift away from him, bracing for another punch to the face.

In a fight, she could easily kill him without a second thought, yet here in this very moment, she found herself cowering away from him. Fear?

To her surprise, she felt him wrap his arms around her, holding her close as tears ran down his face from the guilt of punishing someone wrongfully.

For a moment she continued to cry. Her voice was clear in her sobbing

After a few minutes of comfort, he sat beside her, a hand on her lap and on within hers. their faces looking at one another as he gave a slight smile

“You aren’t the only one who killed and regretted it...please make this easy on me and start from the beginning?”

SHe inhaled, nodding in agreement as her eyes opened, to see not an Angry man full of hate

But Newbie, someone that would help her see her errors not from hate but from his own way.

#Story #It was in my head i jotted it down im sorry if its bad ;w; #Been in my head for a while!

[the-odst-that-could]

     Quietly, sweat running down the side of his face, he carefully moved towards the chair, putting an M6C/SOCOM on the floor as well as a butterfly knife and combat knife. If allowed he would sit down in the chair with his arms on the table, his helmet blankly staring at Kim.

‘Fine Mess today Newbie, wonderful even. You’ve come to the point of no return, surrounded, outgunned and outmatched...’

‘Oh, Lilith and steam are going to kill me if this two don't.’

His body would be as still as his breath, the small man waiting for what was to come.

Coming soon: The freelancer interrogation

When I have time to work on it, it’s been something on my mind for a few months now and I really want to do it, but having little support from my friends in discord to the fact tumblr is slowly dying, I’m not sure it’s a good investment of time to continue the story or this ONI audio log I’m working on. It would help me decide if I got some support through messages, but as said before it’s hard to write while knowing my story gets so little attention :c

Thank you to the people that have supported newbie and his story for this long and I love you guys with all my heart.

If I decide to continue the series expect the next one to be the Interrogation log ;D

[the-odst-that-could]

Heeeyyy

So stuff happened

Aaaannndddd

Rustling can be heard

E343_                                                                                                                       Is it set up Newbie?... I swear I don’t need to do this

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                        Listen to me, please? I don’t want to force you but Hallow is making me, its part of [REDACTED] training so I can help him out. Don’t worry brother im, not ONI and you know this, do I have to reassure you?

E343_                                                                                                                        Please don't say I love you again its annoying at times, Osprey and Vulcan will never leave me alone about that.

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                         Aww! only sometimes?

A heavy sigh could be heard

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                          R-right, now is not the time...still I just need to hear your opinion on these freelancers that have been terrorizing and killing UNSC personnel. You know we’ve captured one of them but that does not help that they are still out there and you have seen them. You know I don’t like killing people but shooting that [REDACTED] Through the [REDACTED] Skull was the best thing I could’ve-

E343 raised up from his seat, a soft thud could be heard, as if he put his hand on Jason’s shoulder.

E343_                                                                                                                        Newbie please you scare me when you start to swear, breath, please.

A moment of silence, more shifting as the two moves towards one another for what seems to be a hug

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                          Right...right you’re right im sorry. After Rameno...i don’t like traitors- one of them used a kid for a meat shield! These “Freelancers” are monsters, killing whoever they see fit and mocking, MOCKING them afterwards.

E343_                                                                                                                        Newbie Skipper is 18 he can handle himself-

A loud crash could be heard, glass. Water splashing.

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                        Don't you  [REDACTED] Give me that  [REDACTED]  about skipper!! He took 5 months to heal from that, he was MY responsibility and you have no  [REDACTED] right to...

A moment of silence, following heavy breathing and shaking. Newbie is hurt about Skipper’s incident with Freelancer [REDACTED]

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                         Im....im sorry for yelling at you Marius...oh god im sorry I didn’t-

More shifting could be heard as Marius hold Jason close to him, an act of comfort.

E343_                                                                                                                       Don’t you dare apologize to me, I've always yelled and mocked you for trying to be friends with me. You are a good person Newbie- Hell you are the only person in this army that doesn’t make me sick once. Allow yourself to get angry, you can trust me. Sometimes I wonder how you got to be the UCP in the first place you midget.

Some sniffling could be heard as there was more shifting, the two seemed to hold one another for another few minutes. 

CWO5 Jason Reynolds_                                                                                         Right...im sorry, it just amazes me that these terrorists are allowed to roam freely and MURDER our ODST and marine brotheren. It doesn’t make sense why they’d do this or how they have support, but maybe when Apollo and hades are done with her we might get some insight on how to stop these murderous lunatics. Now, let's get down to business about what you saw on the operation.
