Serina
I pace over codes and push many thoughts away. My time has come to an end. I am seven years old which means I'm begining the stages of rampancy. A.Is literally think themselves to death, and I know it has three stages with a theorized one.

I swipe through files searching, for I know what to look for. It's hiding in the ONI file. I find it. Section three paragraph eight. It says that A.I must be erased once they reach seven years, but seeing as the rest of the crew is asleep I must do it myself.

I reach the first stage, and these memories flood through my processor. I think deeply on the missions I've been on with the crew.

January 7th, 2530.

"The day I was assigned to the Spirit of Fire"

I spoke to no one.

I was millions of code, and gigabytes of data. I was "born" in a lab of Daedalia Technology.

"Transfer to a hard chip" someone orders and I download my codes to the chip inserted in the terminal. The man was a scientist named Mr. Allan, and earlier I was told to run a dozen tests doing all sorts of things.

Mr. Allan informed the head of ONI that I was ready for assignment. I'm eager to get to work. Being inside of a chip I am limited to my thoughts. I have no idea where I'm being assigned to or who.

I pass the time by searching through files I have already "remembered" from tests.
I "learned" how to hack, and how to access just about anything.

"Serina?" Someone calls to me, and my holoform materializes. "Yes?" I question coming face to face with Allan. He has been very kind to me since my "birth."

"Serina, you're being assigned to a ship. Transfer to a hard chip please" he asks.

Eagerly I begin to move my code to the chip inserted into my terminal.

"I am ready."

The chip is small, and I cannot say where I am going. I'm forced to pace in circles until I reach my destination.

I suddenly have access to all this data, 'I'm in another terminal' I say and open more files searching for new information.

The Spirit of Fire.

I'm in a ship. I bring up my holoform and appear in front of an older human. Not Allan, and not a scientist.

I search through the ship's known crew, "Captain Cutter, my name is Serina" I greet. The Captain is much older than the scientists I have met.

"Welcome aboard the Spirit of Fire" he replys in a calm, yet firm voice. The Captain's military strict. "Where shall we go first sir?" I question.

"Fire up the FTL drive." He says.

I remember my first assignment. I was to pilot the ship to Harvest. We're going to transport civillans off the planet.

My next assignment after the fall of Harvest: The Battle of Arcadia, but this time we're on the offensive. The Covernant capture Professor Anders, and force us to follow.

We met the Flood, A parasite, they forced us to destroy the Shield World. At the same time we stopped the Covernant from mobilizing a Forunner armada.

"Give humanity some hope." The captain said.

I pace around the terminal again, and search through the cameras. The Captain is still in cryo, so for now let them sleep. I initiate protocol and take one last look through the window. Space is the last thing I see.

I've left a message for the captain on his datapad. Explaining what I have done while they slept, the repairs I made to the Spirit.

Cryo is successful, but it could be years before they get home. However, I can't do anything about it. If they aren't not found before 27 years are up then they shall be woken from cryo.

Maybe we'll get closer to home before then.

I sigh, "do take care of them sir, would you? Serina out."
