Third Person POV

Caboose: Are we there yet?

Belfast: No Caboose, we are approaching the base though.

Caboose: Ok, thank you Belfast.

Hood: He seems to be very friendly.

Q.E: I still can't believe one of my servants doesn't know what tea is...

Cleveland: Why are you surprised?

Hornet: Well first he is a boy.

Cleveland: Ok besides that.

Hammann: Well he doesn't seem like a pervert yet.

North Hampton: Is that all you think about?

Hammann: You never know?!

Caboose: Hi!

His sudden appearance scared the girls but they soon regained their composure.

Hornet: Hello Caboose.

Caboose: Hi!

North Hampton: Caboose can you release your ship?

Caboose: Ok...........ho do I do that?

The ships looked at him dumbfounded.

Arizona: You mean you don't know?

Q.E: I can't believe my servant is this depraved of knowledge.

Hood: Would you like me to show you?

Caboose: Yes please nice lady.

Hood: First you imagine your ship.

Caboose: Ok.

Hood: Than you imagine you ship manifesting itself in front of you.

Caboose: Ok.

Hood: And you let it take shape.

Hood demonstrates and her rigging turn into her battleship.

Hood: Now you try.

Caboose did all the steps however he couldn't do it.

Caboose: It's not working.

Hood: Maybe try an practice a bit more when we get back to base?

Caboose: Yeah.

Timeskip brought to you by Caboose attaching a full stereo set to his riggings.

Q.E: Now that we are back on land we shall have my daily afternoon tea.

Hood: Very well, I shall go get Illustrious and Unicorn.

Q.E: Now where is my servant?

Warspite: You mean the boy your majesty?

Q.E: Yes.

Warspite: I believe he ran off.

Q.E: What?

Sheffield: I will go on that mission you sent me.

Belfast: I am back your majesty.

Warspite: Hello Belfast, if you it doesn't bother you could you get Caboose.

Belfast: Yes of course master Warspite. Do you know where he could have gone.

Q.E: Yes, he couldn't have gone fa-

Caboose: Hi!

His sudden appearance made all of the ships jump however they soon regained their nerves.

Q.E: Hello servant.

Caboose: Hi my name is Caboose.

Q.E: So are you ready for the tea party?

Caboose: Yes and I brought the confetti!

Warspite: Do we have confetti?

Q.E: Not that I know of.

Warspite: Well let's go to the royal garden then.

The group made their way to the Royal Gardens and as they got near they met up with Hood, Illustrious, Prince of Wales, and Unicorn.

Illustrious: Oh Caboose, how nice of you to join us.

Prince of Wales: I didn't know you like tea.

Q.E: He doesn't know what tea is.

This shocked both Illustrious and Prince of Wales but they where quickly calmed down by Hood.

Warspite: Now shall we go inside the garden?

Caboose: I love parties! I got the confetti ready!

Illustrious: We don't have confetti on the base.

Hood: Well he seem very excited about it.

Q.E: I can see that.

Warspite: Well if there is no confetti on base I say there is a high chance he won't have confetti on him.

The group made their way to their place for tea and Queen Elizabeth, Hood, Prince of Wales, Illustrious, and Warspite took their positions and Belfast brought out Queen Elizabeth's chair. Queen Elizabeth sat down and she is quickly followed by everyone else besides Caboose and Unicorn. This confused the ships except for Unicorn as he joined her in feeding U-Chan.

Q.E: Why are you not joining us servant?

Caboose: I want to help feed U-Chan.

This answer confused the ships except for Unicorn who began to teach Caboose how to feed U-Chan.

Warspite: Well I suggest we just let him.

Q.E: I guess.

Hood: So what are we going to talk about today your majesty?

Prince of Wales: We actually have a request for her majesty.

Q.E: Yes what is it Wales?

Prince of Wales: It's about Enterprise.

This statement brought the attention of both Caboose and Unicorn.

Warspite: I see.

Caboose POV

Prince of Wales and Illustrious began to explain their concern for Enterprise's health in this war and how they wish her majesty to do something to help her. Suddenly Illustrious said a word that made me jump slightly.

Illustrious: She just keeps saying that we are just memories of ships with no other purpose but to fight.

Memories......Memories......the word just keeps bouncing inside my head.

Me (whisper): Memory is the key...

Suddenly a flash happen and I begun to hear a voice then I saw 3 people in what seems to be a room of some sorts. One of them had blue armor with a helmet that mimicked Washing tubs's while the other two figures features where obscured. The man in the blue armor suddenly saluted as he spoke in a happy voice.

???:Agent California reporting for duty sir!

??? 2: Hello Agent California

Agent California: Yes sir.

The figure in blue armor began to walk off.

??? 3:.........California.

The figure turned around and looked at a tall man who turned around to reveal he had black hair and glasses with scary eyes behind them.

Agent California: Yes Director?

Director: You have been on constant missions since your induction without A.I assistance and we had to mask your true skill in order for you to complete said missions.

Agent California: Sir?

Director: Counselor, can you please explain.

The other man turned around revealing a slightly shorter man with a smart look in his eyes as he is holding a clipboard with some papers on it.

Counselor: Of course Director.

Agent California: Is something wrong?

Counselor: You had been through the worst of the Human Covenant war as a child and you refused to take breaks between missions. This has caused you to become mentally unstable and this could be potentially dangerous. 

Agent California: Ok.

Counselor: Also you are about to undergo an implant for your own A.I. If you are mentally unstable your A.I might be a faulty which could cause it to break and would be a waste of time, resources , and could potentially put you in unnecessary harm.

Agent California: Ok. But how do we get this A.I with the UNSC security board looking at us.

Counselor: That is classified however you should know we are going to be creating a new version of your brain.

Agent California: Isn't flash cloning the brain highly illegal?

Counselor: Yes, however we have a solution to that.

Agent California: I see.

Counselor: We will begin the operation once you get back from your mission Agent California.

Agent California: Of course.

Agent California began to turn away however the Counselor stopped him.

Counselor: One more thing Agent.

Agent California: Yes Counselor?

Counselor: We need you real name in order for this to work.

Agent California: I see.

Counselor: So if you can say your full name please.

Agent California: Michael, my name is Michael J. Caboose.

Suddenly I my head began to hurt at first like someone slapped me but then it got worse, much worse. I began to hold my head, trying to stop the pain then I heard another voice.

???: Caboose.......Caboose.......Caboose.......Caboose.......

Me (thought): I'm going insane. I'm going insane. Please someone help.

Suddenly I felt a strong slap across my face and I opened my eyes again to see I was back at the flower place.

Illustrious: Caboose, are you ok?!

Third Person POV

Caboose looked up at Illustrious his eyes wide with fear. He than looked around him and he realized he was surrounded by blood, his own blood.

Q.E: W...W...What happen?

Caboose:..........I'm scared.

Illustrious: Caboose what happened?

Caboose:.....Director.......me.......Councler man........A.I.........memory.....Cali......forn.....ia...

Warspite: California?

Caboose: Blur armor man.

Hood: It seems to be a flashback of some sorts.

Q.E: How can you tell?

Hood: He is sweating a lot which symbolizes him going into a state of a flashback. He also did self harm to himself in that state which points to a mental breakdown.

Caboose: Memory is the key...

Prince of Wales: What?

Caboose then shot up and grabbed his helmet. He began to go through the helmets files.

Caboose: Memory is the key...

Hood: Caboose you need to calm down.

Q.E: Why is my servant like this?

Warspite: I don't know.

Caboose continued to go through the helmet's files until he came to a stop.

Caboose: Memory.

Caboose lifted up his arm and flicked it. A circular tube like object comes out of his wrist guard. He than tilts his helmet so that it lines up with the object. He than inserts the object into the helmet and a click could be heard. Then a the helmets front began to glow and then a a person came into view on top of the helmet.

The ships all jumped back when he appeared however he simply looked up at Caboose and smiled underneath his helmet.

???: Hello me. It has been a while.
