Cario Station: Control Room

By now things have calmed down. Admiral Hood had listened to what Lieutenant Saotome said and although he did not really believe so many crazy things could happen by accident he decided to leave it as it was. After having listened to what they all had to say Hood had dismissed the pissed off ODST's and Commander Miranda. The only ones still in the empty control room were Admiral Hood, Lieutenant Saotome and the Spartans. Hood turned to face them.

"Well now if all the excitement for today is over with, we can get under way." He turned to look at the Lieutenant who still was a bit relived from almost being captured by the women. "You are Lieutenant Ranma Saotome correct?" The Spartans suddenly stiffened and payed even more close attention, 'was this our new trainer?' were the thoughts of most, but what was on Kelly and Linda's minds was the fact that they suddenly remembered that they had hit a superior officer.

"Sir yes Sir" Ranma said, but on the inside all this military crap was getting to him.

"Well then Lieutenant I was briefed on your mission but perhaps you would care to elaborate."

"Well sir my orders were to report to Cario Station and meet with my new team to train them in my fammily's school of martial art's." Admiral Hood looked puzzled.

"Your Families school?"

"Yes sir, Musabetsu Kakuto Ryo was founded by a martial arts master and his knowledge was passed on to my father, and I was chosen by the master to become the heir to the school."

"Well then Lieutenant seeing as you’re here you should meet your new team." Ranma looked puzzled.

"umm.. were is my team sir."

"Right behind you." Ranma turned to the Group of five soldiers behind him, now starting to get a bad feeling that he may have already started out things on the wrong foot again. "Lieutenant Saotome this is the team you will be assigned to. Spartans introduce your selves." The Spartans stiffened and began with the Master Chief stepping forward followed by the rest.

"Sir Spartan number one one seven sir."

"Sir Spartan number zero four three sir."

"Sir Spartan number one zero four sir."

"Sir Spartan number zero five eight sir."

"Sir Spartan number zero eight seven sir."

Ranma looked onto the assembled team before him, he concentrated on them only now seeing how they were different to the others onboard. He could feel the energy flowing from them, they were warriors unlike any he had ever seen. Each one he could feel had tremendous power and skill that far surpassed any of the soldiers he had met since he had arrived. Now he understood why he had been chosen to come here and teach these soldiers his skills. If they were already trained as well as he had been told then his skills would make them invincible. He stepped closer and spoke to the ranking Spartan.

"Well then Master Chief my names Lieutenant Ranma Saotome, and it looks like well be working together from now on."

Cario Station: Dr.Halsey's Office

Dr. Halsey sat in her comfortable chair with the lights dimmed as she and Cortana saw the chaos that was Ranma’s arrival on Cario Station. Cortana had contacted her a bit before the chaos had began and they were only now really commenting on what had just happened.

"The lieutenant is quite a strange person isn’t he doctor."?

Cario Station: Control Room

Ranma sneezed.

"Are you ok Lieutenant." asked Admiral Hood. Ranma waved him off.

"I'm ok that happens from time to time."

*********************************************************** ************************************************

Cario Station: Dr. Halsey's Office

"Yes Cortana quite strange indeed." Halsey frowned as she continued to stare at the picture of Saotome they had gotten from his questionable CSV. Cortana noticed this and decided to go for some teasing.

"Don’t you think he's a little to young for you doctor?" cortana said as she smirked. Halsey turned to her a bit irritated.

"Yes, I meant no its- oh just be quite Cortana." Cortana started giggling not quite expecting the doctor to get that flustered.

"So if that's not why your staring a hole through the picture then what is it Dr." Halsey frowned at he AI but answered nonetheless.

"First of all im not staring at him, Im trying to remember something because now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I remember either him or his name from some where." Cortana finally got a little more serious.

"Oh really where have you seen him before."

"I cant be to sure but I think that I may have seen him sitting in on one of my reports to the ONI brass at Reach, but I cant be sure."

"Do you know what he might have been there for?"

"I can't be sure but considering his recent assignment to the Spartan unit he may have been there to examine either me or just learn more information on the Spartans, either way he's into something deep if he is privy to so much information that is talked about in that counsel room."

"Do you think he poses a threat to the Spartans?"
"It's to early to know anything, but I'm confidant my Spartans are up to any challenge." Halsey leaned forward studying the picture. 'I'm watching you Mr. Saotome.' she thought.

Cario Station: Hallway on the way to the Spartans Quarters


"This way to the bunk area sir." said the master chief as the Spartans and their new teammate walked back to their bunk area. The meeting was over after Admiral Hood asked a few questions and dismissed them. Several questions lingered in the Spartans minds and now seamed as good a time as any.

"Excuse me Lieutenant permission to speak sir." Ranma turned to the Spartan that had said her name was zero eight seven.

"Sure go ahead, and just between all of us just call me Ranma I don’t really care for all that military jargon that the higher ups like to use all the time." The Spartans shared a quick look at each other. 'what kind of officer rises to that rank with that attitude?'

"Well sir myself and zero fifty eight would like to apologize for striking you earlier sir, we are terribly sorry and were totally out of line." Ranma colored a bit as he remembered just why they had hit him.

"Look there’s no need to apologize, I get into those situations all the time so don’t worry about it."

"Either way sir I'd just like to apologize."

"Myself included sir, I don’t really know what came over us." Linda said.

"Look its fine, trust me I'm tougher than I look." They looked curious at that, as they just remembered that this man before them had survived two hits from two Spartans to the chest, even an ODST would have a hard time surviving that. Fred decided to ask more about the reason he was here.

"Sir I have a question."

"Well go ahead, like I said all this military stuff really isn’t me."

"Well sir I was just curious as to what kind of martial arts you would be teaching us."

"Well Like I told Hood I will be teaching you Musabetsu Kakuto Ryo translated it means School of Indiscriminate Grappling however it is most commonly known as Anything Goes Martial Arts."

"Anything Goes Sir?"

"Yes its quite a formidable martial art, but lets leave the lesson until we get in a gym and away from any ears that may be listening." John cast a quick glance around the hall searching for any movement then turned to the Lieutenant.

"Do you suspect any one is trying to hear this knowledge sir?" He asked wondering what could be so important about a martial arts skill. Ranma turned to the chief, the ranking Spartan and most likely the most experienced and respected if he was the leader.

"Well its hard to say but I’ve learned that it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to secrets." With that the Spartans soon arrived at the bunk area and walked in. John turned to address the lieutenant.

"Here we are sir there’s plenty of bunks so you can chose any one you want. We have a small practice area, and a maintenance area for our armor on the far side." Ranma looked around the spacious room that the Spartans had all to themselves, he cast a glace at the armor of the far side of the room. Five dull green suits of armor were in a line suspended by specially made racks for the MJOLNIR armor. Based on what he had been told, the armor significantly increased the total effectiveness of a Spartan by several times, by increasing strength, endurance, speed, reaction time, and many other benefits. The armor was good, but he would need to train them out of armor to be truly effective. Ranma checked the time then turned to the Spartans.

“Alright then we have some time so we may as well get started. I got clearance to use a gym for our selves so I want you guys in work out clothes and down at the gym on the floor below us right away.” John snapped to attention.

“Sir yes Sir!” The Spartans turned to quickly change from there Dress Uniforms to some PT clothes for what ever the lieutenant had in mind.

Ranma dropped his bags on an empty bunk near where the Spartan’s bunks, and started out of the room to go wait for the Spartans who were quickly changing. Ranma calmly made his to the elevators and went down to the lower floor. The Spartans definitely had the skills to adapt quickly to the training, and if they had enough practice he was sure that some might even be able to use Ki abilities... unfortunately the covenant would probably not give them the time to train either way they were a team and sooner or later they would know more about him, best to get some stuff out right now. Ranma did not have to wait long, the doors opened and in came the Spartans.

Cario Station: Dr. Halsey's Office

The holo panel lit up and Haisly turned to see if Cortana had found out anything.

"Well have you found out anything about Lieutenant Saotome Cortana."

"Not exactly but I did find out he and the Spartans just entered Gym number three which is off limits to anyone but them, perhaps a sneak peak inside will tell us something?"

"Can you see what’s going on inside?" As soon as she said that Halsey realized how dumb that question was. Cortana gave her that 'are you crazy look'.

"Never mind just show me." Cortana mumbled something about who did she think she was talking to, but other wise turned to the monitor on the Doctors desk and fed the live video data to the computer.

AN: It's been more than a month now and this chapter has been in a disk for about that long sitting collecting dust. I stoped writing this about a week after school because of the papers I had to write for some classes. After that I went away for some time on a vacation of sorts so that's why it's been so long. I have found that I have less time now than during school which is strange but true. I only cleaned the chapter up a bit and posted it for any one who wanted more. Sorry it is not more but my time and my enthusiasm for this fic are low right now. While the fic is not dead I just wanted to say that it may be some time before any more updates. Hopefully I will be able to write more but untill then I just wanted to say sorry but that's life and right now mine is quite hectic.
