Meeting HIGHCOM - Part 1

When I walk into the bridge of the Han, Keyes immediately avoids me.

"Shouldn't it be the other way around?" I say. "Why would a lolicon avoid me?"

"I'M NOT A LOLICON!" Yells Keyes.

"Oh, so you're a pervert," I say as I back up while wrapping my arms around my chest. Keyes hunched over as if a knife stabbed him in his chest.

"She's not wrong," said Halsey. "Afterall you did stare at me too. While blushing." I could see another knife stab into his chest while a smile was growing on Halsey's face. "And you, shouldn't you or glad that he is avoiding you? Or do you like the attention?" I had a sudden desire to beat that smirk off her face.

"Of course I am happy." I say, fuming slightly."I'm not a weirdo like the Lieutenant" Keyes fell to his knees at that remark.

"Can we please get back to business?" He begs. Toran decides to save him at that moment.

[Entering normal space in 10 minutes]

Dr. Halsey's face becomes serious and she straps herself into the navigator chair. Keyes follows suit and places himself in the communication couch. I look around the tight bridge before sitting in the captain's seat. The bridge became quiet before Toran reported.

[Entering normal space in three ... two ... one]

The warm yellow light entered the bridge as we decelerate from slipspace to normal space.

"Toran, plot a course to Earth." Ordered Halsey.

[Of course doctor]

She spun her chair around, facing toward us. "So, why do you want to meet FLEETCOM?" She asks me.

"To get as much authority as I can," I reply.

"I see," she says with a thoughtful look. "You want to make sure your words are heard and followed. It makes sense, considering you have the ability to look into the future." She nodded her head. "How are you going to get that authority?"

"You will find that out later," I say. The Han continued its route to Earth. Soon a message came from a patrolling ship.

Keyes pressed a button on his station before replying,

Keyes responded with a string of numbers and letters that meant nothing to me.

With that message the frigate continued on its patrol, letting us pass. As we got closer to Earth, I began to see the many high orbit MAC cannons, spaceport, and fleets of UNSC frigates, destroyers, and carriers that orbited the planet. I even saw a couple of cruisers. Cruisers were the finest ships ever built by humanity. I let out a whistle of approval.

"They really didn't skimp on Earth's defense," I say with amazement. Keyes just lets out a chuckle. The Han proceeds to dock with one of the many military spaceports that orbited the planet. Our ship slowed down to a drift before I felt soft thuds ring through the hull, as the docking clamps locked down. Once docking was complete, we proceeded to unbuckle our harnesses before walking over to airlock. It hissed open and we walked out of the ship and into a busy dock.

"I thought it was only the civilian ones that were crowded," I comment.

"Well," says Keyes, "I guess either there are lots of ships that need maintenance or someone important is coming."

"I see," I say. Dr. Halsey proceeds to walk towards one of the doors of the hangar bay. We both follow after her. After walking through several bulkheads and some security points, we arrived at the space elevator that took people to and fro from the surface and port. The walls of the elevator had glass in them, and we could see the planet as we start to descend.

"Its, beautiful," I say. No matter how many times I had seen Earth from space in films or pictures, seeing it in real life, well it was completely different. The azure color of the oceans surrounding the 7 continents. The lush green color of forests mixed with the sandy tones of the desert. The sprawling cities that light up the planet at night. The wisps of clouds that drifted around in the atmosphere. The planet simply gives off the feeling of, 'home'.

The elevator soon reached the surface of the planet. After getting out of the elevator and walking through a dozen other bulkheads and security checkpoints, we eventually got out of the building to see a warthog with an ODST in the driver seat, waiting for us.

"So how are we all going to sit?" I ask while staring at the vehicle. "I mean warthogs are cool and all, but they kinda suck at transporting more than 3 people."

"That's a good question," said Halsey. "Lieutenant, go sit in the back with our little VIP here."

Keyes grunted in response before getting up onto the back of the warthog. He reached out his hand and grabbed me and hoisted me up.

"Where are you going, Ma'am," asked the ODST.

"Take us to UNSC High Command," replied Halsey.

"Yes, ma'am." With that, the ODST hit the pedal and we started our 5-minute drive to the HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 complex.

Once we got to the complex, we all hopped out of the hog. Halsey started to lead us into the complex before she stopped and said, "I did message the big heads at ONI that I had something to discuss at FLEETCOM, but how are we going to get a child into the most important facility on Reach?"

"Ah," Keyes says, before slapping his face. "I forgot she was a child because of how she acted."

I looked at him before saying, "So that's how you justify being a lolicon. I see I am disappointed in you." Keyes starts to hunch over at that.

"On a serious note," I say before Keyes collapses, "We could just say that I am the child of the two of you, after all, Halsey, you do seem to enjoy his company." I wink and smirk at that comment. Both of them look at me with surprise, before looking at each other and turning away, blushing.

"Pfff, hahaha" I laugh, grabbing onto the Lieutenants uniform to prevent myself from collapsing onto the floor, "Hahaa, ah. Don't worry you two, you'll eventually get your own daughter, so don't look so disappointed." They both blushed even harder at that statement. "I guess that's enough teasing. Eve, help me shape my body."

[Of course, Alia. But I recommend you practice this on your own, later on]

"I understand, but please start the process," I say. My body turns into a semi-fluid state and my limbs stretch out to set my height at 5ft and 7in. My bust grows out to a C-cup as my hips and waist form an hourglass figure. My hair grows out to waist length as my face loses its baby fat and becomes slim.

"Well," I say, striking a pose, "How do I look?"
