Date: February 23rd, 2551 Name: Benjamin W. Durrett Current rank: Corporal Current location: UNSC Spire Space station, located in the Epsilon Eridanus system Current Unit: None
The Spire. A space station that orbited no planet, but acted as more of a half-way point, or crossroads for planets such as Reach or Epsilon Eridani IV and other planets in the same system. About one month ago Corporal Benjamin Durrett was reassigned to this station, after his incident on Draco III, where he shot and killed an ONI operative. He was assigned to the security force on the station. The assignment felt off for him when he got it. ONI kept him out of jail, but his job on the space station seemed like it was to just keep him out of trouble, he was confused as to why they didn't just let him go to prison. But soon enough he'd get his answer, and what he didn't know was that he had made a deal with the devil.
A ship had docked the Spire in the last couple hours, a small one. Ben heard that it was an ONI vessel, but he didn't hear what it was doing here, just figured it was refueling. Durrett was in his room, off duty. They were small quarters but they were his alone. Ben was sitting at his console, flipping through files on the holographic screen when the door hissed open, the screen stopped on a file labeled "Skopje" with a date of 2547 on it. Somehow Ben already had a pretty good idea who it was. Not alot of people had any reason to visit him. "Corporal Durrett?" An unfamiliar younger male voice behind him asked, probably a similar age to Durrett. "UNSC or Spook?" Ben didn't look to the voice that spoke to him, he just continued to look through the files. He clicked on a video that showed the view of a camera on the wing of a Pelican as it entered orbit. "I'm an ONI operative." the voice continued as the man walked further into the room, closer to the console Durrett was sitting. "The office sent me to... Recruit you, per se."
Normally Ben would tell the man to piss off, but he had a feeling there wasn't any actual option to the situation. After a couple seconds of silence, the man began putting in commands on a device attached to his wrist. The holographic monitor went blank and files from the Spook's wrist computer were being projected onto the screen. "ONI would have you track down some missing... 'Assets' for them and bring them back in any condition you see fit." The man started for the door before stopping at the entrance. "We leave tomorrow, so I suggest you familiarize yourself with those files before then." The agent left the room as the door shut behind him. Durrett opened a file and was greeted with five more, all labeled with different names.
