"Talking"

Thoughts

Washington

It had been a long day. With the arrival on the UNSC suddenly things were being done and questions were being asked. How long had Malcom been corrupt? Why did the UNSC let this happen to Chorus? What happened to the Blue guy that was with the Simulations Troopers? Who was this Grey and Yellow guy that was with them now?

These were question that either I didn't want to be asked or didn't have the answers to so I just brushed them off and let Carolina answer all of them…I pitied the reports who asked some of those questions.

They didn't lose anybody outside of the Chorus soldiers. The only person they lost was Church…Epsilon. I didn't really know how to feel about the loss of Epsilon. On one hand he had been the cause for most of the problems that occurs in my life. On the other hand after getting to know him, Epsilon had become a trusted ally to myself and the others and his loss will surely be felt, not only by myself but by the rest of the team. Not to mention I'll have to deal with Caboose having his…off days again…

Logging into the implants to go over recent information that the UNSC would definitely ask about, I found an odd file found inside. I opened it and an alert went off on my HUD stating I had a video message from…Epsilon.

Hello Wash. You were the last person I made a message for because I believe I owe you the most, considering our history together. To let you know, I fragmented myself into memories of the other A.I. of project freelancer…minus some character defaults in a few of them. I didn't give you one because I knew you never would even consider the possible idea of having an AI after what happened with me…and for that I want to say what no one said to you about the whole thing…I'm sorry David. I know I could call you by Wash or Agent Washington but you deserve to hear this apology given to you, not to someone you became. That shouldn't have happened to you and I'm so sorry that I…ya know kind of went insane and killed myself in your head and unraveled your mind somewhat at the same time…ya…sorry about that. Anyway since I knew you wouldn't let any AI into your head I left your message as you can tell in your memory unit. None of the fragments will try to access your implant…but if you ever need them or decide you are willing to let one in…just say the word and they will be there. I want you to know I gave you complete control over all the A.I. because they are all me and you know me the best. And if I made a mistake and one of them needs to be shut down or defragged only you can do it…mostly cause the others would probably fuck up and accidentally delete them. Wash, I know I've given you shit over how you've run Blue team since I left, but all in all you've done a great job. They aren't the easiest group of people to be around…even more so when you have to take the fall for when shit goes wrong and I know that can happen…a lot. I know this goes without saying Wash, but take good care of them, after all…you're the leader of Blue Team.

With that Epsilon's message broke off and I was left in silence again. I took a moment to really take in what he said. He was right, no one had every apologized for what they had done to me with the implantation process…and to have someone…heck to hear the one who is partly responsible for what happened to me…well it was like an unknown weight was taken off of my shoulders. Like I had this burden following me everywhere I went and it never left but now it had been lifted.

I'm just going to take this moment in and…

BOOM!

"…Tucker did it!" I heard Caboose say…it was always Caboose so there really wasn't much of a shock there.

And the moment's gone. I thought as I started in the direction of Caboose's voice had come from.

All the things that had happened to me. Project Freelancer, Blood Gulch, Prison, the Meta, Chorus. All the things that had happened and never really had I ever thought about how much had happened. And yet I wasn't mad at all that had happened. In fact it made my life a lot more interesting. And through all of it I had become part of a family. Now it's time to go home.

Never a dull moment…

And so I walked onto the ship, awaiting the next great adventure that came their way…

Agent Indiana here with one last update. This is sadly the last update of Memories of a Memory, many thanks to everyone's encouragement of the story. As of right now there is a plan in place for a sequel to Memories of a Memory and I hope you will like it. Several people have asked if I have any other story that I might be working on and the answer is yes there are several stories I am tinkering on right now but nothing right now. Nothing more to say.
