Grayson Dent returns to his homeworld of after a long time, in order to meet the renegade Spartan Nick-A077 for a deal.
----
Meridian. His home. Home of one of the greatest bounty hunters of the galaxy, Grayson Dent.
This was it, here. Dent had finally returned to his homeworld, his birthplace. He wondered if his old friends, neighbors and all others were there...
No, he shouldn't be thinking of them. That was a bad past, and pasts should be forgotten in order to succeed in the future. Especially those harsh times.
Meridian was one of the surviving planets of the Human-Covenant War that wasn't glassed by the Covenant. Atleast, he thought, Not glassed fully. The Covenant had attacked Meridian already in 2548. Surprisingly, UNSC forces had managed to hold off the Covenant for three years until in 2551, when Meridian was partially glassed, evaporating its oceans and causing a lot of damage and loss of life. Although the UNSC were ultimately unsuccessful in saving the entirety of Meridian, Dent was nonetheless impressed by their efforts to save it.
Ironically though, he was here at Meridian not to revisit his homeworld for his childhood memories, nothing like that actually, but to deal with an Innie. Actually, a guy who just helps the rebels, except that this guy was a Spartan, some renegade Spartan named "SPARTAN-A077". Funny, Spartans have last names instead of numbers?
He was here to make a deal after he the Spartan contacted him. The deal was this; find and steal a MJOLNIR Mark VII suit in exchange for the powerful armor known as Project AVENGER. This armor would help him greatly in the future, facing any tough situations.
With everything set, Dent started thinking of Meridian again. Maybe after everything was done, when he'd finally take rest and stop his current job, he'd probably come back to Meridian to live the last days of his life. What better than take birth and die at the same place? Maybe he could adopt a kid, teaching his experiences, his skills, etc. That'd be a hell of a job, but it was a challenge, and no matter what type it was, Dent always loved challenges. If only though-
"Gray Dent? Is that you?"
Dent turned to face a man in normal wear, boots and a cap. In his hand, however, was a piece of paper, like a form or something. He quickly understood who he was.
"A077?"
"Yes, Nick-A077. Although I'd rather ditch that number and instead adopt a last name, that number reminds me of being the UNSC's pig."
Dent hesitated, understanding the man's hate for the UNSC, "So, where do we start?"
Nick instead opened his mouth in a grin and replied back, "You and me have a lot of things to do, man. Come with me, I'll show them to you..."
