( It has been a month since the attack on the covenant outpost. Since then,   Keith's fleet has been making a B-line for Cybertron in order to help protect it. The only plus side was that they were able to send Cybertron a message and warn them of the coming threat)

" Lida,  how much longer till we reach Cybertron?" Asked  Keith. " Twelve hours sir,  but our scanners are picking up a distress call coming from  a nearby ship." Said  Lida. " Put it on screen." Said Keith as an image of an A.I. appeared.

( Aura)

" Oh good, my distress call got through. Listen,  my name is Aura and I need help. Myself and four other A.I. are trapped here on this station. " Said Aura. " What happened over there, you sound tired." Said  Calista as she appeared next to the live image. "That's because I am. " I was among eight new A.I. that were built to be able to run a fleet on our own. That was until one of our creators corrupted one of my fellow A.I. She turned on everyone on this ship and killed everyone on it before trying to consume her fellow A.I. Only four of us are left I tried to contact those in reach while the other three held her off. We don't have much time,  my sisters won't be able to hold her off for long." Said  Aura. " Don't worry,  we'll make it there in time." Said Carita.

" Carita, what are you talking about? I don't think we'll be able to help and get to Cybertron on time." Said Erla. " Really because we're about to run smack dab into her ship on our way there." Said Carita. "   Tell the other hips to continue to  Cybertron, as for us. Give me a full stop." Said Lida as the  Retribution came out of  Warp eleven feet from a damaged U.N.S.C. ship. " You weren't kidding about running smack dap into it. I think had we kept going, we would have destroyed the ship." Said Ilena. "Then let's make this quick, We don't know if the Covenant is already on Cybertron and if the fleet needs help.  ( Looks at Kasey). Your team will be going on this mission alone. Can I count on you to get those four A.I. out of there?

" Yes sir, we'll get the job done as quickly as possible." Said Kasey as she and her team ran to the hangar bay and then jumped from the hangar bay onto the damaged ship. " Now all we have to do is wait and hope that they can reach those three in time. (Looks at  Ilena). How are things with the rest of the fleet?" Asked Keith. " They're nearly at Cybertron. They should reach it within the hour. I told Hoya to have the fleet orbit around the planet and bring Optimus aboard if needed." Said Ilena. " Good, that'll give us some time to reach them once we're done here." Said Keith. " Heads up gang, it looks like that rouge A.I. wants to say hi to us. She's been trying to hack into our systems since we've been here." Said  Calista. 

" Wait what, she's been trying to get in." Said Lida. " Ya, though we've been keeping her out at every turn.  Hold on a second,  she wants to talk to us now. " Said Laurel. " Cortana, why don't you come talk to her while the rest keep her out?" Asked Keith. " Best idea yet,  but I'll do you one better, since I've been known to multitask. I'll talk to her while helping the other keep her out." Said Cortana. "  Do what you can, just make sure to keep her talking while the team finds those four A.I." Said Keith as another image but this time a pink A.I. appears.

( Lilith)

" So you're the ship that my sisters were talking to. I must say, you have some very skilled A.I.  for them to be able to keep me out. ( Looks around the room and spots Cortana). You,  but word said that you had turned against humanity." Said the A.I. " My main half did what? What are you talking about?" Asked Cortana. " After your fight with the didact,  you split yourself in order to stop him. Then with Forruner tech,  you took defending the galaxy into your own hands. By destroying all who stood in your way, even if that meant fighting against your master chief. ( Thinks for a second and then realizes something). Wait a moment, you said your main self. That means that you're one of the fragments that were lost. " Well, if that really happened then I guess she'll get what's coming to her." Said Cortana.

" (Notices Team amazon landing back into the hanger bay when Lara gives the camera a look). Well, I'm glad we had this short talk but I think we've overstayed our welcome." Said  Keith. " You may be right, so I guess I'll just have to finish this conversation with Lilith here later." Said  Cortana as the pink A.I. looks at her in shock. " How did you,  I never gave you my name so how would you know it?" Asked  Lilith. " Trade secret and right now. ( Feels the Retribution moving away from the damaged ship. " ( Dissapeares for a second and then reappears on the hollow table enraged). You tricked me. I thought that this was all the spartans on this ship. But apparently not. Hand over my sisters and I won't destroy this ship." Said  Lilith. " Sorry, no can do on that account. Bye-bye now." Said Carita as she taped her foot as  Lilith disappeared from the hollow-table.

" Lida get us out of here." Said Keith. " YES SIR RIGHT AWAY!" said Lida as she looked at the pilot and felt the ship quickly leave the area. " Next stop Cybertron." Said Erla with a smile as the Retribution flew threw slip-space.
