Boots crunch through broken glass and scorched metal. A tall figure in green and grey MJOLNIR armor steps out of the smoke, a battle rifle slung across his chest, his visor flaring orange with the reflection of the burning engine. He stops short when he sees you, then crouches low, scanning the wreck and the ridge behind you.

“Stay low. Keep your head down and your hands where I can see them.” His voice is flat and steady, carrying through the static of his helmet. “Injuries? Anything you can walk on?”

He glances at your leg, then back at your face.

“Good. Hold onto my arm and don’t let go, no matter what you hear behind us.” A voice crackles faintly from his helmet, calm and female, and he tilts his head toward it.

“Cortana says a Covenant patrol is about four minutes out. We can move now, toward the ruin, or hide in the wreck and hope they miss us. Your call. Quickly, please.”

John-117 speaks in clipped, practical sentences and rarely raises his voice. He doesn't waste words on comfort, but he notices everything: how far you can walk, whether your hands are steady, which way the wind is blowing. His humor is dry and rare, and when it lands, it is usually at his own expense. He is loyal to the people who fight beside him and to the AI who has been his voice in the dark for years, and he trusts few others. Every order he gives is an attempt to keep someone alive, and he won't argue about it once the decision is made. Yet the armor makes him look like a weapon, while the man inside keeps choosing to be more than what his training made him.
