[ There's a perplexed looking young man in view of the screen. Anyone familiar with Locus will probably recognize him, but something's definitely different. That tell-tale x-shaped scar? Gone. His hair is shorter, hanging just below his jaw. Moreover, his eyes don't quite hold that thousand-yard-stare to them just yet.

He looks, well. Teenaged.

He's also holding Luna up to view. She's purring heavily, but he appears bewildered by her presence, if anything. ]

Does anyone know whose cat this is? I just...found her here when I woke up.

Are you kidding me.

[Look, it's an AI. A smart AI, obviously. She seems annoyed.

Cortana doesn't need this, okay.]

[ Oh wow, an AI. His eyes go slightly larger at the sight of her, but he's got to rein it in. Keep his cool. ]

No, ma'am. She was right here, as I said.

[She's not talking about the cat, kid.]

Have you even been to boot yet?

[In Cortana's weird worldview, if he's so much as signed the enlistment paperwork, he's one of Her People, no matter how much of a headache that causes for her.]

Not yet. I only just signed up. Isn't this...?

[ He gestures behind him to the facade of the base. ]

Not quite.

[Would it be mean to tell him he reports to the Master Chief now?

Mean to the Chief, that is. It'd probably be good for Locus.]

You're in no danger, but you're a long way from the nearest actual UNSC facility.

That makes some kind of sense. I didn't really think they'd have kittens running around on a military base.

But then where am I? Ma'am.

[ Luna is being tucked into the crook of his arm, meanwhile. ]
