Gods dammit...

=i sit up, only to be stopped by my right arm. I look at it and see that it is impaled by a piece of sharpnel from the hull. It's impaled at an angle that i cant get any leverage on=
Son of a bitch....I was just getting used to this damn thing!

=i check the shoulder and find nothing along the lines of a release switch=
Well....fuck.

=i brace myself and pull. It creaks, but nothin happens. I try again and again, getting closer to ripping it off=
Well, this is going to suck.

=He watches as the Spartans enter the house=

Hmm

=The others follow=

*Scanning building. Picking up heat signatures*

Show them

*Many in the living room portion*

And.

*Picking up one heat signature in a room on the second floor*

Our hostage I would say.

*I would say as well*

Best course of action.

*Do what you did with the second house. KNock out the power. Be wary of the other two Spartans however*

Letting them know is the best part.

=has elyon send him the ships kast known trajectory and heads there=

=i grab around and find a sharp piece of metal. I grab it and start cutting at my arm. It goes faster, and soon, i cut my new arm off=
Oh, shit...

=i had cut my shoulder in my attempt to get my arm off. It was a shallow, but it was long. I put my good hand over it ij an attempt to stop the bleeding. I sat up and heading out of the Pelican=

*I was kidding* =laughs=

=He smirks and heads off to the computer=

=Xazhi looks up to the sky. He sees a clearly UNSC ship jump in=

Xaz- Oh that cant be good.....

=Xazhi, Lori, and the Kid come to the top of a hill voerlooking a small town=

Xaz- Gods... They must be here because these people are rebles...

=kirby wakes up from a nap and spots the trio on the herac and stares wondering=

=The two Spartans look at each other=

S1-Stand down!

S2-Surrender!

=He smiles and runs at them=
=They begin firing=
=He opens the Jackel shield. Deflecting the bullets=

*You have failed the mission*

=He laughs=

(Dormii)
=i look up. I see a UNSC ship in orbit=
Oh, fuck...

=i pick up the pace, trying to get as close as i can to the base before nightfall. My shoulder is still bleeding, but i go a lot of blood. I'll live=

(Dylon)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN UNSC SHIP?? BLAST IT OUT OF THE SPACE!

"Sir, dey come in peace."

Those fuckers never come in peace! Blast them out of the sky!

"Sir, i can't anyway. An AI named elyon has disabled our weapons anyway."

God dammit! Find a work around.

=sees a pelican on scanners and heads there=

=Xazhi, Lori, and the Kid enter the Town. People stare at them and the giant spiders=

=Torres returns to what resembles a human made structure on the ouskirts of the Sangheli village. He walks up to a metal door and puts him hand to the right of it. A noise is made and the doors open. Torres walks in and is greeted by Jacobs=

"Welcome back Commander."

=Torres nods=

Where is my squad?

"They are out with Gheta sir, he has a some new formations to run for them."

Good.

=Torres makes a motion to Jacobs as he walks down a corridor to the left, Jacobs follows.=

Tell them to meed me in the battle quarters I need to have a word with them.

"Yes sir, will do."

=Jacobs leaves and Torres enters the messhall to grab some dinner=

=A couple hours later Torres enters a room with a long table in the middle and a holo-projector in the middle of it, he sits down in the chair directly in front it the projector=

Notify them.

=A hologram of a human appears on the table=

Sir they are on their way now.

Thank you Tiberus you may go now.

=Tiberus fades away=

Hmm.

=Torres moves a little as he hears a comotion getting closer to the room=

(Lance)"Will you guys quiet down, we are here on buisness."

(Jora)"Sorry Corporal we will do our best to "calm down."

(Forest) "Behave Jora, watch yourself."

(Jora)"Sorry..."

(Luke)"S..so what is Torres like.."

(John)" Oh yeah I forgot that you just transfered in ha, so how does it feel to be dead HAHA!"

(Luke)" Oh.. heh feels weird, I mean not being able to talk to my family"

(Keale) "Hmm you will get use to it, Torres is something different. Just don't look in his eyes."

(Luke) "Whats wrong with his eyes?"

(John)" Didn't you know spartan training gives you the death eye, one glance and your dead. How do you think they kill so many."

=Luke looks down at the floor thinking about what John said=

(Dormii)
=i keep walking taking note of what wounds I have. I feel blood drip into my eye and I reach up. I feel a piece of shrapnel lodged in my forehead=
I guess I have four eyebrows now...great.

=i come across a small cave. I go inside and relax against the inner wall=

=sees a small dot on the motion sensor and heads there=

=the red dot disappears so he lands it=

(Dormii)
=i decide to explore the cave. I get up and head inside as far as I can see=

=gets no responce and is about to try again when he sees the cave=

=enters it=

=Lance opens the door and nods at Torres, He sits down across from him as the others takes seats by Lance=

(Lance) "Whats going on commander."

We are leaving this haven, we have much bigger needs right now and ONI has given us orders. We will be leaving in a few weeks time. Hopefully my ship will be ready and so will your team training be to.

(Lance)"So how are the modifications on her sir?"

=Lance said with a smile=

Like nothing you've ever seen.

=Torres give a small smirk=

So tell me how are those cloaking mechanics working, have they worked out the kinks to be able to put it on your suits.

(Forest)"Yes sir, the Elites giving us this tech will be a great asset to us."

Good, Lance I will be giving you a report soon on our mission but for now get your team ready. We will be going in hot.

(Lance)"Understood."

=Lance get up and shakes Torres's hand and leaves, the others follow=

Tiberus send me a report on the modification and the maitenence.

Will do. I will send them to your room ASAP.

Great.

=Torres leaves to room and heads for his sleeping quarters. He lays on his be and looks through his window at the moon. He thinks about his time on the planet dozing off in a few seconds=

(Dormii)
=i keep going into the cave. I eventually stop and look around. I sit down and lean against the wall=

Nolan - How close are you Joseph?

Joseph - We can see the smoke from the sky. It looks a few miles away. Where are you?

Nolan - We are a bit behind. Long mountain. Lance, How is the Power coming?

Lance - The power plant is now giving the base power. The comm center and Command building is now up.

Nolan - Get to the command building. See if you can track anything.

Lance - Yes sir.

=Joseph and the falcon are a few miles away from the crash. Nolan is two more miles behind the Falcon. The Marines patrol the base while the engineers repair=

E-26 Black Eye - Black Bird. Please respond. Can you hear me? I repeat, Can you hear me?

H-11 Black Out - Let Nolan see if they're alive. Lets head back to base...

(Dormii)
=i left the cave and started walking some more, holding my shoulder. i got a ways away before climbing partway up a tree and falling asleep=

=As the second Spartan went down. The first threw a punch. Hitting him across the helmet=
=He goes back and shakes his head=

Great...Another headache

(Miranda)
=My cold finally went away, and if it wasn't for Jason's death, I would have been jumping for joy. That said, I couldn't help but whisper hallelujah. I got out of bed, took a shower, got some fresh clothes, and made my way to the mess hall=

(Gabby)
=Kenny and I were down in engineering. There was some work we had to do; mostly reactor modifications, then slip-space drive work, and finally, tune up for the engines. Hey, no one said that being the mechanic of a ship was easy=
