[i][b]A chance at peace.[/b][/i]
Malleo Awoke in a royal suite of the Celestial Embassy. It seemed his vision had taken longer than he thought, seeing as he had spent an entire night inside. The binary star of the Gaïa system shone brightly through the window of the room.
[spoiler]Mainly for Paarthrunax, but still open.[/spoiler]

Malleo shielded his eyes from the brightness with his hand. He sat up and thought about his time with Celestia. [i]What a lovely time that was.[/i] He finally got out of the bed and headed out of the suite.
-
The halls were deisgned in a beautiful fashion, reminescent of the Sun Queen. The Architecture also bore her colors, White, purple and gold.
-
Malleo admired the architecture as he walked through the halls. He looked down to the floor and could see a perfect reflection of him. His armor was actually cleaner than normal.

[quote]Hello, Sir Knight. I see that you are awake.[/quote] A happy voice came from behind him, with a slight hint of mechanic making along with it.
-
Malleo turned to see who it was. "Hm? Oh, hello! Would you mind telling me what this place is?"
-
[quote]Hello. I am Four of Four. This is the Celestian Embassadorial Palace. I found you on the ground in the Library, and moved you into one of the suites.[/quote]
-
"That explains a lot. I appreciate it, Four. My name is Malleo Castitate. You seem to already know [i]what[/i] I am."
-
[quote]Indeed. You were the one seeking the Celest?[/quote]
-
"That would be me. I successfully did so and I will be upfront, she is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Unfortunately I also know about the threats and danger of Sombra."
-
[quote]Then you were the one sought. Welcome home, Knight.[/quote]
-
[i]Home. Right.[/i] Malleo would have to get used to calling this place that. "She told me this city was being built for my kind. People from the Imperium. Is that...true?"
-
[quote]Affirmative. Per first contact Regulation 17, any species that rejoins the Order must be furnished proper infrastructure where it is needed. That is why the city of Skyward Haven is being built.[/quote]
-
"Skyward Haven, huh. I wonder if any of these people even know what a Space Marine is."
-
[quote]Query: Space Marine?[/quote]
-
Malleo sighed. "It's probably better that you don't know. Perhaps in time through natural causes you will."
-
[quote]Cross referencing... Closest match found: Celestial Knight. Understood. If Space Marines were part of your culture, they may yet still be remembered.[/quote]
-
"Likewise. Though I doubt any know of my chapter, which originally would be for the best."
-
[quote]Time has come. Your investigation must begin.[/quote]
-
"Investigation??"
-
[quote]your duty to the Celest. Seek the breach. Find the incursion.[/quote]
-
[i]Incursion?[/i] Malleo hadn't detected an incursion anywhere nearby. Perhaps it was a different kind, or perhaps it's his mind being clouded by the terrible news Celestia revealed. Or maybe it was just him thinking about her.
-
[quote]Clues may be found on board your ships. Recommend beginning search in that area.[/quote]
-
"Where exactly are these ships located, Four?"
-
[quote]Orbit above Gaïa.[/quote]
-
"Right. My apologies for flooding you with questions, but how can I get up there?"
