[[Private First Class]] [[Núñez]] is enthusiastic at going feet first, but Smith, a first-time jumper, is given knowing laughs by many other Helljumpers when both are quizzed by Babatunde.

27 hours later at Perihelion, | 27 hours later at Perihelion, 9th Platoon [[Master Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]] takes advantage of every moment of rest he can find. As he rides the elevator to the [[War Games]] deck, he gazes through the curved viewport at BXR's huge mining operation: A massive ~60-kilometer-wide crater, where workers are extracting valuable titanium. Recalling his uncle's tales many years past, Stacker reflects on the bravery of those who take on such dangerous jobs, which while not combat-related require immense courage and skill. He appreciates their role in safeguarding humanity, even if he himself is focused on the more immediate challenges of military training. | ||
For the past three days, Stacker and the | For the past three days, Stacker and the 9th Platoon ODSTs have been engaged in exercises pushing their limits alongside the legendary Spartans of [[Blue Team]], led by the [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]]. Stacker's unique experiences have led [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] to select him to lead these exercises, a decision that Stacker finds both flattering and surreal. He recalls a conversation with Lasky, where he downplays the extraordinary events of his past [[seven]] [[2552|years]], feeling more often comfortable with the practical aspects of military life than the memoir-worthy miraculous tales that surround him. | ||
The training sessions pit the Spartans against the ODSTs in various scenarios, utilizing tactical lock-up rounds. Both groups are testing their new equipment, including the Spartans' GEN3 Mjolnir armor and the ODSTs' ORCUS exoskeletons. The last few days, Stacker has collaborated with [[UNSC Cartographer Initiative]] simulation techs to create diverse challenges from urban settings on Earth to ancient [[Forerunner]] facilities. The goal is to see how quickly both teams can adapt to new threats and environments, and so far, the results have been promising, with zero casualties reported. | The training sessions pit the Spartans against the ODSTs in various scenarios, utilizing tactical lock-up rounds.
