Garth-Enemy frigate lost. Starting search- Well, that might buy me enough time to escape. Dammit, since when does the UNSC upgrade security software? I mean, I've been in cryo for years, yet the weapons never change, so why would they change software? It makes no sense.

Anyway, yea, Emothic, what do you guys want with Harvest anyway? It's not like you can get a lot of goods or anything form a glassed planet.

Emothic-That's a "Knight" class battleship. If it was my guess it is looking for smaller covenant ships to capture and use them for parts for the Super-carrier that we took a few years back. The "Knight" class battleship is called the HS: Walter C. Dornez.

Garth-Oh, I'm going to have to follow you now. Can't let Covenant tech to exist, damn orders.

Hey, you don't happen to have anything that can erase memories, do you? I know the Covenant split up and some of it is now working with the UNSC, but my training prevents me from somply stopping the mission.

-Loyalist Cruiser detected. Engaging- Oh, wait, looks like the UNSC found something interesting. Looks like you got lucky, Emothic. Don't have to kill you yet.

-Dream of Luck spotted. Altering attack pattern- Seriously? I'm more important than some Loyalists? Sonuvabit....

Emothic-Wouldn't recommend and doing any of that:

1.) Be a waste of time trying to track down our ships. Simply because since they aren't U.N.S.C. own ships they don't have the equipment in it that keeps other ships noted where they are at. Our ships also make random hyperspace jumps to random locations, this is to make sure no one is following them and loose anyone who is trying to follow. We have made a strict rule for the U.N.S.C. we will help them in any way we can, as long as they don't try and follow our ships without the consent of our "nation" or try to find our planet. Doing any of those including attack us will have us pull all of our troops out of other planets (Which the U.N.S.C. needs) and well defend ours.

2.) No we don't have that kind of technology, our citizens are so loyal that we don't have to worry about them saying something that should be quite.

If you attack us we will attack back and will not care of the consequences. The U.N.S.C. knows our demands and it would be unwise to ignore them.

Technically, I'm not UNSC. They seem to think I am a terrorist just because my training makes me kill their allies. -Enemy hull breach detected. Launch boarding parties- Oh, -blam!-. Why do they keep doing this? Don't they remember the 17 other times they tried this? Ngh....

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about the memory tech. Would've liked to go back to the UNSC and fight with them for a change.

-Separatist ships joining combat. Advising their withdrawl- Oh, no you don't. If I am forced to do this, I'm going to do it right. Let's see here....that should do it. -Sending distress signal to Separatist forces. Separatist allies sending rescue parties- That'll make my job easier.

Still, going to have to attack you at some point, now that I know you have Covenant tech, Emothic. Wish I didn't have to, but my training forces me to.

Well that's funny. You're a Spartan III, and I will have to ask where do you think you got your armor from? Spartan armor is basically stolen covenant tech modified for the use of humans, so basically your using covenant tech. Ironic don't you think?

Modified for human use isn't Covenant then. If it was elite armor than was shrunken down so a human could fit, then maybe, but my understanding is that the scientists at ONI used it as a template, not a -Enemy signal detected. Empoying Jamming signal Bravo Delta Universal- Dei morti tu. Damn, security measures are catching up again.

As I was saying, I think they used it as a template, not a straight adaptation.

-Dream of Luck beginning boarding procedures on Separatist allies. Moving to assist- Gotta run, another misiion step to finish.

Nevertheless, it is still covenant technology.

-Enemy detected on level 3, Power core. Security teams are notifed and on the way. Attempting to seal bulkheads- Oh, hey, I didn't know I could get signal from down here. Cool.

Now that's just not nice. -Bulkheads opening- That's better.

But, it's all a matter of opinion. If I managed to take one of your ships then reverse engineer it to make a new one for me, would it still be your ship?

-Reactor core safety features failing. All personel, abandon ship. Repeat: Abandon Ship- Some things just never get old. Now, how do I get out of here.........

By ownership no. But by the idea and technical concept that it took to make the ship yes. So technically you are using our ideas, plans, and technology to "re-make" the ship.

For example the first military tank. Now almost every nation has their own version of a tank, but the tank will forever remain British technology, seeing how they are the ones who design and built it. So in a ways every nation is using British technology.

*close enough ;D*

So, since the last ship went down so easily, I expect this one to be a little bit harder. -Engaging rotational jammer frequency. All communications use cipher Alpha Epsilon Pi for continued operation- Rotational jamming? Interes....

...
...
...
...
...
...aybe now it works? Haha! So, if I might ask, where do you keep this Super-carier? Also, where is Sanghelios? -Security turrets engaged- What the....Oh, -blam!-. Where was that shut-off code? -Decompressing compartment- That's not good...

-Calculating trajectory. Recovery teams are en route- Well, this just sucks. Someone decided to switch out the shut-down code with the decompression code. My dumbass just launched myself into space. And now I can see UNSC recovery teams heading my way. Great. Hope they don't simply execute me for this...

So, Emothic, how's that Super-carrier project coming along? Since it doesn't look like I'll get a chance to blow it up, might as well know it anyway. -Recovery one, adjust course by 00.21.08 degrees. We want him alive, not splattered all over your windshield- -Recovery three, you see him yet? I'm practically on his beacon and I can't find him anywhere- -Negative, My screen shows that he's at least another few meters away- HA, next time, remember to encrpyt your comms when coming after a computer genius, idiots.

We're not reverse enginering it. We've been using it for about a few years now. Struck a deal with a clan of elites that don't agree with the covenant, we order some ships to fly around attacking other covenant vessals for spare parts. Been using the super-carrier to fery troops and supplies around quite often.

Hey hey hey, hands off the helmet, okay? They don't make these anymore. Also, I'm in the middle of something....fine, you can listen, it's not like I can say no now can I.

So, you don't mind having some UNSC people listen in on our comms, do you?

-state your name, alliance, and how you came to know this individual- Oh, come on! You never said you were going to speak! Fine, fine, I'll shut up now. I'm still keeping this armor on.

Subject: Re: The beginning of it all. 10/01/12, 03:49 am

-Over UNSC telecoms- This Lt.COL Torres of Quantum of Solace. I hear you have captured the "ghost". Can you report this. 'This is Commander Tibus of the Medusa, es we have procured Dorminus, what can we help you with Lt.'
I want him prisoned here on my ship can you comply. 'Sorry I was assigned was to bri...' I dont care what your assignment was Commander I have order from The UNSC Head to bring him to a secure location, Will You Comply!?. '...Yes we will we are sending a transport pod over.' Good. -group of solider with Dorminus in a cryo pod- thank you soldier now get back to your ship I have buisness to attend. -all- 'Yes sir'-in wispers-"-blam!-". -soldier leave- So they have finally caught you
-Grunt defreezes Dorminus- It seems like you your getting rusty "Ghost" its been awhile since we served together in 4th squad -gives ghost some Covenant intel- I need you to translate this I am pretty sure its important, I lost my whole squad for this.

I'm only rusty because somebody decided to switch the decompression codes with the security turret shut-off codes and never bothered to change the names. That never happened, I'd never be here. By the way, security systems are horrible, you should probably get those upgraded.

Let's see.....kinda looks like a new tank of some sort. Damn, never saw any Covenant use wheels or treads. Oh, duh, backup drives. Where, is the....ah, appears to...no, definitely has at least one plasma laser, like the A.I, crap what was her name...Cortana made out of that Covenant Cruiser plasma torpedo system. Also has at least 7 plasma turrets, positioned around the sides and under belly.

-blam!-uhh, sorry, can't remember you. What was your name again? Too many faces of soldiers I wish never got in my way, started blocking 'em out. But, yeah, what the -blam!- were you looking for?

I am no one. -In his thoughts- This intel wasn't what I was looking for. -to Dorminus- Nevermind. -looks out into space then glances at Dorminus- I have a small ship for you...its in te docking bay. You may take it to go back to your ship. -just before walking into the bridge- You might want a better coder. -walks away-...-in the Bridge- Set a plot course to Reach and get me in communications with the head.

Hmm, odd, but I'm not complaining, not all the time you get away with no repercussions. Wait...hey! I am the coder, bastard!

Now...-Dream of Luck disengaging. Tracker beacon planted- Oh, no you don't, I go where I want to go, and no one follows. -Tracker disabled. Attempting lock on Slipspace coordinates- Uh uh, when I say no tracking, I mean no tracking. -Coordinates scrambled. unable to trace- Damn right!

Sonofa...they dinged my helmet! Great, that'll never come out.

Hey, anyone got any spare JFO helmets? Emothic, what about you? You got anything?

-this is zeru ishtar sending a message to all ships except the ones that wanna kill me- apperently i'm not part of the unsc(it was just a test to see if it could work out it didn't so to them(mainly oni) it's not gonna work out so i'm pretty much on my own though i did get a small medical ship to use (which i think means i'm neutral so if ANYONE needs help let me know the ships is called trophaeum

that is all

This is Dormii Fortuni of the Dream of Luck to Zeru Ishtar of the Trophaeum, you don't happen to have any spare Spartan III JFO helmets lying around, do you? My last visit off-ship managed to put a dent in the uplink module.

this is zeru come on board i may have a few jJFO's lying around

sweet. Also, if you have any Covenant tech lying around, don't tell me, or at least make sure it isn't something you really need. My training effectively forces me to destroy any Covenant tech, or Covenant forces. If you are an Elite, Grunt, Jackal, Brute, Drone, Engineer, Skirmisher etc, you may want to go behind some form of mirror. If I see you, I will have to kill you, and I don't want to do that.

the only covie tech i have is a shield generator and i'm human so u can calm down

Make sure I don't see it then, I really don't want to, but....how do I say this....it's like breathing, you have to do it otherwise you die slowly and painfully. It's kinda like that for me, I was trained to follow an order until it was completed, the abort codes were given, or I was killed. My last order was to destroy any Covenant tech I find, and my superiors were killed on Reach; So, no abort codes.

Anyway, coming in for boarding. Hope you got that generator hidden.

trust me it's hidden now what all do u need

Ideally, I would like a way to stop this damn training, but I just realized with the training wiped from memory, I would lose my combat skills. So, that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Right now? Maybe some new armor pieces, preferably a Spartan III JFO helmet with wireless uplink module, one of those Collar/Breacher chest plates I saw some other Spartans wearing, and some medkits, if you got some spares.

there is a way to be cured and keep ur skills but it is very painful and highly unethical also of course any prefference to color? and of course i am a medic how many do u need

*Distorted Transmission* -in area. Re- medical assi- is -area.
*Goes quite for a min then comes back clear*

*Native Language* Des voneser nect shesvh conve nastar.

*In English* I will repeat, we need medical assist from any ship within the radio transmission. We have came under attack by a covenant ship, we manage to destroy it with the loss of one of our own. Have many casualties and wounded. We have set a transponder locater on the signal, you should be able to track it.

Ice and basic steel, if possible.

Seriously? There is a way to wipe my memory? Please don't say it's Covenant tech, even if it is. I don't want to destroy the only hope of me not having to do this anymore.

As for the medkits, maybe three or four. Don't need much when people can't hit ya.

"This is the med ship trophaeum we picked up ur signal and are on our way"

(to the trophaeums crew) to ur staions now we are responding to a distress signal

@ yes there is it's human tech but worst case scenario is ur skills diminish slightly but not enough to affect u in any way

We have picked up your signal and have you located. We are sending you two "Knight" class battleships for escort. Area still may be hot, they should randevou with you shortly. E.T.A. 5 mins.

Hell, might as well help out. Always handy to have a Spartan on hand.

-Disengaging docking clamps. Heading to distress signal-

This is Dream of Luck heading to distress beacon. Will provide security until all personel are taken care of.

You didn't think I forgot about you, now did you?

*Me* Copy that. We need you guys to-

*Second soldier talking in native language* Vasons! Vosons! Beive kie sisht.

*Me* What the hell is that!? Everyone fallback get the hell out of here. To all ships stay out of the area! I repeat all ships stay out of th-. *End of Radio signal*

"this is is the trophaeum we will stay back in accordancw with the previous message"

*Stealth drive engaged* This is Commander Torres of Quantum of Solace broadcasting on emergency frequency. Is there anyone alive...I repeat is there anyone alive. I am seeing Hellsing family ships out here, if there any survivors of the Covenant attack will those in need of support reply!

Oh, hell.

Screw that, I'm coming in anyway.

Trophaeum, you sure you want to wait? I can only cover one ship at a time, so if you stay, you'll be on your own.

Dammit...
This is Dream of Luck to Quantum of Solace, please tell me you arn't going to try and capture me again.

"dream of luck feel free to proceed we will try and dock on a nearby planet to restock incase anything happens"

*Severely static radio signal* Message to all ships. Covenant has new weapon. Repeat covenant has new weapon. Will maintain radio silence for a few hours. Stay out of the area untill further notice, out. (Real life hours, can stay on much longer.)

No I am pretty sure we have bigger fish to worry about*noise in the background* This is Quantum of Solace to Dream of Luck, it seems the Covenant has not left this region they are head back over here.Be ready for combat Damn, now to set up those Hornet mines This is Quantum of Solace, I have set up a defensive barrier of mine to where I calculate the Cevanant should arrive that should slow them down so we can set up a strike.

ok gonna take a break from this game and go play xbox later guys

Good to hear.

I'll engage their Close-in Weapons systems so your damn, what were they called? Sabres can get in and do some damage. Be advised, if I get a chance, I'll board the ship and try to take out it's Reactor Core. While I'm on-board I'll try and disable some systems, help you out.

Dream of Luck, out.

Roger Dream of Luck, sendng out Longswords and Sabres for assistance -at crew- Charge the MAC cannon and fire when ready, set up a defensice grid attack formantion delta, send out pelicans to look for survivors amounst the rubble. Captian take command of this ship while I am gone. Tiberus take care of her. -jumps in a Longsword and heads to the Covenant Super Carrier to join Dorminus-

Oh, that's a super-carrier? I mean, I know I helped blow one up, but I never saw it. Guess that means my time of calling it "Thing I don't want to fight in a Warthog" is up.

Torres, tell your ship to see if it can take down the engines. If we can't kill this thing, we'll have to stop it dead.

Oh, and Emothic, if you can hear this, send any fighters and/or bombers you can to help take this thing down. I hear these things have a lot of fighters and heavy armor.

I'm engaging the plasma turrets on the port side. Once the shields are down I will board it via the docking bay and procede to shut-down defensive turrets and sabotage the reactor core.

Filiolus vigilo nos. Dream of Luck, out.

Did you hear that Tiberus tell the Sabre unit to focus its power on the engines we need to stop this thing. -Tiberus- the Mac Cannon is fully charges sir shall I fire Yes. All Squads focus your fire on where the MAC should hit, keep that hole in its shield down until Dorminus can enter

Damn, nice shot, Tiberus. That'll keep 'em busy.

Going in, try and keep the Super-carrier from jumping. I don't want to be stuck on this thing for too long.

Beginning docking assault, hopefully won't be to...ch stati....ammit......

GHOST! Can you hear me, Ghost! Damnit coms are bieng interupted. Im going in.

=Location: currently in firefight just outside covenant socking bay=
Sonofa...where the hell are those scrambler codes? Ok, decompression codes, navigatio- Hey! I thought I made it clear, you dumb Grunts, you don't stick your head out, I don't blow it off! Man, Covenant just never learn...

Oh, hey, Torres. Welcome to the party. Mind reinforcing the lesson of "Don't expose yourself to a Spartan with a shotgun"? I need to turn off those Plasma turrets, and the jammer, and then get to the reactor core. I can't do that when SOME PEOPLE keep SHOOTING AT ME!

Subject: Re: The beginning of it all. 10/01/12, 04:13 am

Very well -throw grenade- Good thing I brought some backup -takes out rocket launcher and fires- 4 down only hmmm a couple thousand to go. How much longer to go Dor...holy crap HUNTERS! Ill be a distaction yell when you got it! -runs into the fray-

Almost, maybe.....and.....oh, c'mon you stupid network! There, got it! Now, about those hunters... =begins using shotgun as club= Hey, big, orange, and stupid! I'm right here! =ducks under a swinging shield= Too -blam!- slow, big guy! Just for that, you get a gut full of buckshot. =jams shotgun into hunter back, angles it upwards, and fires= Hey, Torres! You get that second one yet?

Almost! =runs and slides under Hunter= Take some plasma =grabs a plasma grenade and shoves it inside the Hunter, kicks the hunter back and watches the hunter blow up in half then looks at his hand= Gross =runs to Dorimus's side= Alright lets see what is behind door number 1 before the third party ruins us. Hey! I Said No Third Party =shoots a grunt in the face=

Let's see...ummm, sorry. Wrong door. =throws grenades at a sea of jackals= Well, kinda looks like we're not going that direction. Any ideas?

"this is the trophaeum we are currently preparing to accept any wounded personnell also if i may make a suggestion boys you are currently 2 floors directly above your target just use a spartan laser straight down and you will reach ur target"

Ah thanks =takes out Spartan laser and shots the ground creating a hole= You coming =jumps down hole=

Show off.

There it is. Cover me while I set the self-destruct sequence.

"welcome gentleman all the enemies is the vicinity are dead i found what i was looking for"

Dormii to Tropaheum, please repeat last transmission.

Self-destruct sequence set, but we got about 20 min to get out. So...run! =Shoves/drags Torres along corridors=

Move! Keep going!

"this is zeru u guys could just use the escape pod right there it's how how i got here otherwise u won't escape in time"

Are you -blam!- kidding me? Dumbass look around next time

=to Torres=
You head back, my ship's still here. I ain't letting my ship die on some -blam!- of a ship.

Got it =while running to the escape pod Torres yells to Dorminus= Good luck. = gets on escape pod and returns to Quantum of Solace= Tiberus have we found any wounded amongst the rubble. Yes sir we have brought along board a few members of the royal family especially Emothic Von Helsing. Good contact the Hellsing family of what has happens. Yes sir.

I'm clear of the Super Carrier. I recommend all personel remain on alert, I doubt those Covenant are going just let it go off. Marking weakest armor segments.

Advising everybody that manual destruction may be required.

I personally am curious about that "new weapon" Emothic mentioned. Haven't seen anything yet. Anything from you guys?

That is something to ponder about... Sir there is something big on the radar heading this way. Tiberus show me. Yes sir. Hmm...This is Quantum of Solace to Dream of Luck it seems that we are not done there are groups of Covenant Aassault Carriers headed this...Oh no. Sir we are picking up more bogeys entering through slipspace this could be problematic if we decide to stay. I see that Tiberus...did you hear that Dream of luck this is a fight we cannot win...Tiberus order all fighter to return to Quantum of Solace.

I'm receiving, loud and clear. Holy -blam!-....Trophaeum, recommend you bail out. Get to UNSC space, alert them to this threat. Same goes for you, Torres. I'm going to try and distract them until you get clear.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna let you get rid of me that easily. I'll meet you at Planet A-364 after this whole thing. Besides, I want that treatment you have, Trophaeum.

Deis spectorunt nos. See you later, soldiers

Alright Tiberus take us home and get me in contact with headquarters.
Yes sir plotting slipspace coordinates.
How is the royal prince doing what is his status
=soldier walks in='He is stable sir a fractured rib and some cuts and bruises sir'
Good tell me when he has awakened, meanwhile =on the intercom= everyone be prepared. Were going home

-to planet A643- "we're on our way back prepare the docking bays"
