Welcome to my first attempt at an RVB story, i've been thinking of this story for a while, after reading lots of stories i wanted to do one of my own, so welcome to the story of Ray Jacobs my Freelancer OC known as Agent Jersey.

Skies over Blood Gulch

"Hey!" The pilot of the pelican says looking back to the cargo hold "We're about at the Blood Gulch Simulation Outpost so get ready."

A man in red and white armor is the only one in the cargo hold, the man flips around two Magnum pistols before placing them back on his belt, along with having a standard UNSC assault rifle on his back and grabbing his bags "Thanks for telling me."

Blood Gulch: Red Base

Two guys stand atop the red base, one in orange armor being a bit overweight, the other in maroon armor looking a lot more skinny

"Hey Simmons?" The orange one asks "isn't there suppose to be a new guy coming to our base?"

"Uh... yea, he's suppose to be here in a few minutes, why?" the maroon one named Simmons answered.

"Just wondering what this guy is gonna be like, who knows he could be anyone, from a flamboyant guy in pink armor, or even some awful medic." the orange one answers.

Simmons stares at the orange one "Grif... why the hell would command send a flamboyant guy in pink armor to our base, or a medic, no one here ever gets hurt, and we don't need a pole dancer here, it's probably gonna be a clueless rookie." Simmons says replying to Grif's very dumb suggestions "Either way why do you care, you don't even do anything around here, you sit in your room most of the time eating crap, Sarge and I are the only ones who do things around here, I'm just hoping the guy is not another lazy guy like you are"

"Hey! I do things I stand up here sometimes patrolling!" Grif answered offended.

"Uh huh, I've seen your 'patrols' Grif, half the time you are napping, the other half you are walking around the base at the speed of a sloth!" Simmons answered frustrated by Grif's excuse for "work".

"Hey, what in Sam Hell are you two doing! You are suppose to be watching for those damn dirty blues not discussing private Grif's laziness, there's a time and place to discuss that when there isn't the threat of imminent attack from those demonic blues, plus are new soldier will be here any second you are setting a bad example!" A gruff man in regulation red yelled from inside the base.

"Yes sir! We're sorry!" Simmons yelled back, while Grif looked at him "...what?"

"Does anyone ever tell you that you're such a kiss ass?" Grif tells Simmons

"Shut up Grif" Simmons fried back

Blood Gulch

A pelican comes into view over Blood Gulch before hovering over the middle of the box canyon

"We're here, now get out I've got better things to do today!" the pilot says

The man in red and white gets up as the pelican cargo door opens the man grabs his bags and exits the pelican "Thanks for the ride!" the man thanks the pilot

"Just doing my job sir!" the pilot answers before closing the pelican doors, lifting off slowly before it speeds up quickly leaving the Gulch

The man looks around, a man in aqua armor begins walking towards the man in red and white

"Hey Jersey, been a while hasn't it?" the aqua armored man says to the man in red and white

The man in red and white armored man known as Agent Jersey looked over to the aqua man "Florida! It's been too long, haven't seen you since the project you know the break in, i'm surprised you called me out here even after my involvement with the break in, how are you holding up?"

"oh it's been wonderful, everything has been going amazingly, and now with you here hopefully Alpha's safety will be secured. I can trust you." Florida answered very happily before coming close and saying "Plus I know why you did what you did, i thought you should get a second chance, off the grid, and with my help I made it happen."

Jersey smiled under his helmet before saying "So you are in charge of blue base and i'm suppose to be second in command at red base right Florida?"

"Correct! But we shouldn't use our freelancer names, regular names just call me Flowers or I guess now enemy, but always feel free to come over and talk even if you are suppose to be an enemy doesn't mean we can't be friendly." Florida happily said in his trademark enthusiastic tone

"Well, you can just call me Jacobs then, and thanks Flowers its good to see one friendly face i haven't seen in a while, well I should probably go introduce myself to the reds before they see me with you, that would not look good!" Jersey said starting to walk away to red base "See ya around Flowers!"

"You too Jacobs!" Florida said back before also beginning to walk back to his base

Jacobs/Jersey had gotten to red base going to the entrance without being noticed because Grif and Simmons were currently talking about random stuff

"Oh come on, I didn't eat all the Oreos!" Grif said to Simmons

"YOU LEFT ONE OREO, YOU MINE AS WELL HAD!" Simmons said to Grif angrily "THOSE WE'RE TO SHARE, JUST LIKE THE CUPCAKES AND THE SODA, BUT YOU DRANK AND ATE IT ALL IN TWO DAYS!"

"For the record you guys never said I couldn't eat all of them" Grif stated

"THAT'S GOES WITHOUT SAYING, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE AWFUL MRES BECAUSE EVERY TIME SARGE GETS GOOD FOOD TO HAVE ITS ALREADY GONE BY THE TIME WE EAT!" Simmons yelled at Grif angrily

Meanwhile Jacobs listened before walking into the base "Wow these guys really need some help or they're gonna kill each other long before blue team fights them" Jersey finds a large living area with a fridge and a small TV

(huh, this looked smaller on the outside) Jacobs thought before looking around seeing a hallway with 4 labeled rooms the first labeled "Simmon's room, Grif banned" the one across from it said "Sarge's room, Grif banned" the third says "G_if's ro_m, Gr_f on_y" several letters had fallen off and the door looked awful the 4th room said "Lopez's room, Grif banned" and there was a few unused rooms

(Wow... this Grif guy sounds awful) Jacobs thought, before going outside and seeing Sarge talking to a guy in brown armor

"Lopez, we will be getting a new guy in any second now he's gonna be my second in command so when I'm not at the base you listen to him instead of Simmons" Sarge said to the brown armored man named Lopez

Lopez simply nodded before noticing Jersey and pointing to me, Sarge turned and stared at Jacobs

"Hello Sir are you the commanding officer?" Jacobs said to sarge

"you must be the new guy, yes you are correct I am the Sargent of this outpost, but you can just call me Sarge son" Sarge said confidently

"Yes sir, Corporal Ray Jacobs reporting for duty, ready to take down the blue menace!" Jacobs said obviously he didn't think that, knowing the truth of what'what's going on, but he needed a good first impression

"Respectful, confident, and enthusiastic, you are gonna fit in great here, welcome to red team Corporal!" Sarge said with a smile under his helmet, he didn't get much respect around here, Grif was lazy, Simmons always over did it, Lopez couldn't talk, so he was happy to get some respect

"Its good to be here sir!" Jersey confidently said before saluting Sarge

"Alright, now why don't you go introduce yourself to your new teammates, the two of them are currently lollygagging on top of the base, I'm busy!" Sarge said to Jacobs

"Oh, uh ok" Jersey walked up the stairs to the roof of red base to hear Grif and Simmons talking

"You know we really don't have much to do around here, I mean command is pretty useless most of the time we almost never get orders and we mostly just sit around and talk" Grif said to Simmons

"It doesn't mean you have to be so lazy all the time, you do nothing around here all you do is sit on your ass, eat everything, sit up here, or hide from Sarge to get out of work, seriously you are the most lazy person i've ever met of all-" Simmons was interuppted by Jacobs

"Excuse me are you two privates Grif and Simmons?" Jacobs asked the two

"um yes we are, and you are?" Simmons asked

"Corporal Jacobs I'm your new teammate, Sarge told me to introduce myself" Jacobs answered Simmons

"See Grif nothing to worry about" Jersey looked at simmons "oh, Grif was worried we'd get some weirdo as a teammate, I said it'd be a clueless rookie, but hey at least you aren't any of those"

"uhm... thanks?" Jacobs said

"Don't mention it, welcome to Blood Gulch Corporal, prepared to be bored, because this place is boring as hell!" Grif said yawning laying down "welp time to take a nap"

"Grif, get the hell up, you always take naps!" Simmons yelled at Grif

"so he's very lazy i'm guessing?" Jacobs asked

"Yea Grif is the laziest guy here, he doesn't do much, except irritating everyone in the base." Simmons replied

"I hate all of you" Grif said before taking a nap

"Huh, well I should probably claim one of those rooms, have fun with... this." Jacobs said

"oh, okay... see ya, um come back soon, heh" Simmons said desperate to talk to someone other than Grif

Jacobs walked down into red base claiming the closest room to the others, Jersey liked making friends or at least trying, he was gonna be here a while, opening the door the room had a bed with pillow, a ceiling light a shelf and a few other miscellaneous things "I can make this work"

Jacobs unpacked his stuff a few posters of games and things he liked a few other items and he felt at home at least a bit

Jacobs walked out of his room placing a name tag for his room on his door, he went back outside to Sarge who was currently on call with command, so Jacobs decided to explore the canyon a bit, but first after he walked away from the base he tapped his helmet "Hey I, you there?" and a little Cyan hologram appeared

"yup!"

Alright that is the beginning of this fan-fic, what is Jersey/Jacobs's past, what made him a freelancer, these things will be answered in due time, and why does Jersey have an A.I., yea i'm changing a few canon things why?, because I don't want to re-tell the story exactly the same with one character there will be minor changes in this, and there will be a few flashbacks to his freelancer days throughout the story, it will make sense... eventually anyway see ya next time
