New Alexandria 1: A Strange Affair
You awoke with a blistering headache and light standing over you, looking at your face like you were… well, in a compromising position. Which given the circumstances, was not the worst thing you could imagine.
After all, you were sprawled out on a wooden floor of an apartment…
You looked around and saw Daisy standing up, holding onto the table as if she was drunk. Or drugged… or just exhausted, one of those options was probably true in some way shape or form.
"Enjoy the nap sleeping beauty?" Light stated as you sat up.
"No, It feels like I was shot in the head." You replied. Your head really hurt.
"Well, you weren't. We've just been drugged, kidnapped, and are being held in New Alexandria, Reach." he replied, looking at you with boredom on his face.
"How do you know that?" You asked. You certainly didn't.
"I listened while you were unconscious, very difficult by the way, your ears were a bit turned off. Muffled the whole damn thing up." He replied.
"You can do that?" You asked.
"Of course, I'm you." He replied with a smile. "Now, best get up and help your compatriots, something tells me you are… going to need her."
You gave a nod. "Yeah, thanks Light."
He gave a small nod and vanished back into your mind.
"Hey, Gian, get up, we've gotta get out of here," Daisy replied. "Besides, what am I going to do with all this money our kidnappers left us." She grinned and showed a very large stack of Credits. "Plus we should be getting home."
You groaned as you stood up, your legs feeling like Jello. But you could still stand under your own power.
"Give me a sec… I need to get my legs working again." You stated.
The Apartment was sparse, and very well furnished. There was a plasma screen on the wall, with a couch, a few chairs, and a coffee table. There was possibly a room, maybe two if you were feeling adventurous. It was a luxury apartment… one fit for a family.
You rubbed your eyes and held onto the table, as Daisy walked over to you. "You okay?"
"Yeah." You stated. "Where's the money?"
Daisy showed a large stack of money.
UGE Energy Credits backed both by the industrial might of the UGE civilian government, the UNSC, and… several thousand planets. The most stable currency in the human arm of the galaxy, with the local equivalents on Earth, Reach, and the Inner colonies not even holding a candle to the buying power it had.
She had well over one hundred thousand in her hand… a sizable sum.
"Oh." That was enough to buy a small house. "That's a lot of money."
"Yeah, I woke up and picked their pockets when they were carrying us looking for ID… they only had this." She replied sheepishly.
You somehow doubted that… Partially because she liked stealing things of value. "Daisy." you groaned, folding your eyes. "We could have gotten intel."
"Well… that was all I pulled out of the pocket." She replied.
You shrugged… that was not going to do...but it would have to do.
"Well come on. We need to get moving." You stated.
"Or we could wait for our kidnappers and interrogate them" She replied with a smile. "Get our intel then."
She had a point… but you would rather get back to base… after spending a not so lengthy amount of time in the city.

[]Steal a Car: well you need to get back to base one way or another… might as well borrow a car.
[]Search for the Others: You remembered one or two of your fellow Spartans getting chosen to come to New Alexandria, a gift from Mendez for being amazing Trainees… Maybe you can find them.
