John sat quietly at the bar. He wasn't drinking, just sitting and reflecting upon all that'd happened during his War with the Covenant. Suddenly, a man sat beside him. "... Aren't you the Leader of a Military Squad?" asked John, glancing at him with battle-hardened eyes

"Yeah. Cap'in of England's Special Air Service," Soap replied. "My actual name is John, but they call me Soap." With that, he ordered a mug.
(Oh the irony. I just found this out on Wikipedia and the like too.)

John gave a soft chuckle. "My name's John too," said the Spartan gruffly, "they call me SPARTAN 117. The Master Chief." John looked at Soap. "So which part of the military is the Special Air Service in. I'm in the Navy, of course."

"We're part of the United Kingdom's Special Forces. Other branches include the Special Boat Service, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, and the Special Forces Support Group. Yer world's different from ours, right?" Soap asked.

"More like... your world in the future. Actually, it is. There's really no focus on country anymore, though. Instead of World Wars, we have Planet Wide Wars. A couple even escalated Galaxy-wide. Not to mention, we have a certain parasite in my universe called the Flood. They're called that for a reason, and they're strong enough to tear through my specialized armor like nothing. I'm not one for explainations... I'll let Cortana handle it." Cortana's voice came over his external speakers. "The flood, scientific name Inferi Redivivus, are a semi-sentient extra galactic species." John cut Cortana off, "Umm... thanks, but to sum up one of Cortanas speaches. The flood infect you, and take over your mutated corpse to further their own species."

"God-fuckin'-damn. And I thought the terrorists with their nuclear bombs were bad," Soap said. The mug of beer came and he took a sip from it before putting it back down. "That sounds like bloody Hell."

John nodded. "I lost most of my comrades to the Covenant and the Flood," he admitted, glancing as the person took a drink. "So... do you have any civilian friends?"

"I 'ave of couple of civilian friends, but not too many," Soap admitted, sighing as he took another sip of his drink.

John nodded. "I have... none I can recall. I've been in military service since I was six," he said

"Six, uh? Damn... I actually ne'er wanted to become part of the SAS. What 'appened was... I accidentally 'acked into a top-secret military site. I was just playing a video game and I wanted to download some maps. The result was a choice of either joining the SAS due to the fact it was their site I 'acked into or goin' to jail for the rest of my life. Naturally I wasn't a coward to the idea of war and I didn't like the idea of gettin' buttraped by some mental criminal in prison, so I joined up at the age of 10." Soap sighed.

John nodded. "...Got any preferences as far as weapons go?" questioned John, letting himself relax, if only slightly, around the other John

"Assault Rifles, but I've always used whatever weapon I 'ad to in order to protect my comrades... Not much good there unfortunately," Soap said, sipping his beer again.

John nodded. It was the same on his end. "I'm... the last SPARTAN II that I know of," John admitted. "And as far as my own weapon preferences, I've always been partial towards my world's Battle Rifles, as well as the Shotgun. I also enjoy the Assault Rifle."

"Well I'm a good sniper, but... Assault Rifles... Just work better for me," Soap admitted. "I aim well, but usually I'm running into combat, so..."

John nodded. "Maybe the call of duty will bring us into battle together sometime," said John, "though you can't exactly count on me as a physical sparring partner. I remember one time I was boxing with a couple of normal Marines, and two of them ended up accidentally dead from... I think it was either crushed skulls or ruptured organs."
