My favorite part of Outcasts (and, sorta, Bad Blood) is the tidbit that Vale got back on the Infinity with the rest of Osiris, and then just got dropped off right back where they found her immediately afterwards
Like, she is deadass the only Spartan who gets a damn VACATION in 2559, like yea she's gotta do some diplomatic shit with the Swords but for her that's not even really, like, actual work. She's just chillin in that sweet hilltop villa, with the secret tunnel, waitin' for Usze to get home, then her old college roommate has to go and fuck everything up by pissing off Cortana's minions and getting the whole damn keep put on lockdown.
Worst part is, Usze gets stuck at the Arbiter's place cause of the lockdown so she can't even get a farewell dick appointment before she's blasting off to Netherop to go retrieve the MacGuffin.
