 As a notice:  Recently, a cryo tube has shown up in the basement containing a Spartan.  I'm going to be down their guarding, and I'd appreciate it if no one decided they need to meddle.

As of right now, I have no idea of the code to safely unlock it and release the occupant, so waiting is the only option.  Maybe the castle will do something to assist.

Another Spartan?

I can give breaking the code a shot, if you want.

York

[lonenoble]

You, I trust. Come look at it and see what you think.

Thanks. [Good to know some people still trust him. Not that he's bitter. Besides, he's the one who put the cryotubes down there in the first place. He can at least try the manual overrides and see if the castle's messing with them.

It's not long before York's headed downstairs.]

Is it anyone you know?

[lonenoble]

No.

I wish it was. But I won't push away a stranger.

[encryptedlock]

I know that feeling well enough.

[He'll investigate the tube and nod. Looks like it's working properly, anyway. Good to know.]

This is some pretty heavy encryption. Give me a minute.

[lonenoble]

You have all the time you need, York.

[encryptedlock]

Thanks.

[He takes a close look at the lock, tapping the display a couple of times to go over the information. After a few moments, Delta pops on.]

I don't know. What do you think, D?

31-digit ONI Level III encryption. Consequences of incorrect entry unknown. It is possible we could break it, but not in a timely manner. I would recommend looking around the castle for the password.

[lonenoble]

Understood. Thank you Delta. Better to leave it for now in that case. The Spartan inside is safe enough.

[encryptedlock]

[York runs his fingers over the console one more time and sighs.]

All right. I'll look for anything we can find, but if we don't have it in a few days, we might want to try cracking it manually.

[reengineered]

Do you know who it is?

Lucy

[lonenoble]

087 is the number I found.

[reengineered]

[!!!]

I know 087. She was with me before I came here.

[lonenoble]

Your team?

[reengineered]

Yes. She was guarding Dr. Halsey.

[lonenoble]

Her? [Oh, she remembered Halsey. Even if Jorge thought so much of her... Halsey hadn't made a good impression.]

She got off of Reach then?

[reengineered]

They were both with us on Onyx. Some of us IIIs and some IIs.

I promise I'll stay the hell away from it.

Thank you.

I need to protect a fellow Spartan at all costs. There's too few of us still at the castle.

Look, I'm sure you've already heard it from the other Spartans and Freelancers... but if you need anything while you're down there...

[This is him trying to make up for being such a dick. Who knows how long it'll be before they figure out how to open that thing up. People have been suck as statues for months and even Spartans need to eat once in a while.]

Thank you.
