I'm still alive, don't worry. So I finally got around to writing Cosmo's story while Mrs. Hernandez is playing on the computer during my biology class after teaching for about 5 to 10 minutes out of a 50 minute class period. Well, here it is.

Planet Arcadia
Chapter 1 :Awake and Alive
A group of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers stood over a crater arguing whether or not to save the creature inside of it. “We can't just leave it here,” suggested Private Demitri Makarov.
“Yes we can,” argued Corporal Mike Zepher. “It's an alien and we're fighting aliens! Lets just get the hell out of here!”
“Hey! Lock it up,” yelled Sergeant Jake (50 Cal.) Barrett. “I say we bring it back to base. If it attacks us, you can kill it Zepher. If it doesn't, Makarov, you get to train it.”
“Got it Sarge,” they responded.
“Demitri!”
“Yes sergeant.”
“Call in a medical transport.”
“Copy that.” Demitri turned on his helmet radio. “Tango 3 to base.” No answer. “Home Base, this is Private Demitri Makarov. Do you copy?” Static. “Sergeant, either this is a dead zone or the base got EMPed.”
“Well that's just f*cking great,” Zepher yelled as he kicked a rock. “So are we gonna have to carry it back to base?”
“Her,” Demitri interrupted.
“What?”
“The alien is a girl, Zepher.”
“Oh how the f*ck would you know?”
“F*ck you I know shit.” Demitri turned to Barrett. “Sergeant, this is a Seedrian, 6-10 years old. Her clothes indicate royalty, a princess.”
“How do you know that, Private?”
“I took 3 years of Alien Civilization in high school.”
“Can you speak their language?”
“They speak English.” Demitri heard a twig snap. “Contact! Twenty meters, five o'clock high.” As soon as he finished speaking, a purple laser shot past his head. “Shit! It's a sniper!”
“Demitri! Get the kid! Mike, kill that Jackal!”
“Copy that! Engaging!” Zepher pulled out his DMR and took the shot. The Jackal fell from the tree like a ton of bricks. Suddenly the troopers were surrounded by bright blue and green balls of light. The drone of plasma rifles and fuel rod guns filled the forest. As the Brutes and Grunts prepared to open fire, a loud horn blasted through the night. An Elephant mobile mini-base appeared out of the mist with marines riding on the track pods. The side-mounted auto-sentry guns began decimating the Covenant. One of the marines yelled to the ODSTs, “Sorry we took so long! The base got EMPed!”
“Can I call them or what,” Demitri laughed.
“Yeah yeah, whatever! Just grab your new pet so we can get back to base,” Zepher shouted.
Demitri took the girl in his arms and checked for a pulse. He found one, very weak.
--------------------One Day Later--------------------
“Hey, kid. Can you hear me,” Demitri asked. The girl sat up screaming, “Tails!”
“Calm down. You are in the medical lab of UNSC Arcadia Alpha base. We found you in a small crater. You fell over 600 kilometers, above the planet's atmosphere.”
“Wow! I guess I'm pretty hard to get rid of. By the way, my name is Cosmo.”
I am Private Demitri Makarov, Trooper 284, assigned to ODST Tango Special Operations Team.”
There was a voice from down the hall. “Hey, Boris! Is that thing awake yet?”
“Yes. And stop calling me that, ass hole!”
“Why did he call you Boris,” Cosmo asked.
“It's a Russian stereotype.”
“Oh. So what are you guys fighting about?”
“Nothing. Mike Zepher is just one of those people nobody gets along with.”
“No, what I meant was, what are you soldiers are fighting?”
“The Covenant. An alien military force. Their goal is to make life as miserable as possible for the whole galaxy. And to make things worse, they sided with those damned Metarex around one month ago.”
“The Metarex are still alive!”
“Yes. And they're relentless.”
“I know that better than anyone, because their leader is my father.”
“Wow. That sucks serious ass.” Suddenly, Sargent Barrett rushed through the door.
“Demitri! The base is under attack! Take the kid and go to the armory. Give her something she can use.”
“Got it. Cosmo, follow me.”
“Where are we going, Demitri?”
“To get you something to protect yourself with.”
