Chapter 1: Mission Jailbreak
The Chief walked into the briefing room and the commander was sitting in a chair waiting for his arrival. "Good evening Master Chief. Have a seat." The Chief sat down in a chair at the opposite end of the table and waited for the briefing to start. The lights went out and the projector on the ceiling kicked on and projected certain images and words. It read "Mission Jailbreak". The commander spoke, "Master Chief we require your assistance. All of the other Spartan Units can't match your leadership skills. That's why we called you here." The projector flashed an image of a structure with Covenant architecture on the wall. "That's a Covenant prison there, and some of our top soldiers are being held prisoner there. We need you to covertly rescue them." The Master Chief puts his helmet on. "We've already given the known schematics to Cortana and she should be able to fill in the blanks once you arrive. Do you accept this mission?" The Chief, "Yes, sir." "Alright, show up in the hangar at 0800 hours. You launch at 0900 hours. Gather all the things necessary and be there." The Chief stood up and walked out of the room headed towards his quarters.
Soldiers in the base stood at attention while he passed, and finally he arrived in his room.
He walked over to a shelf and banged his fist on it twice. A weapon rack emerged from the middle of the shelf and the Chief pulled his pistol and shotgun out placing them on top of it. He hit it again and the weapon rack retracted quickly. The Chief let out a sigh and laid down to rest after setting his alarm for 0700 hours.
Chapter 2: The Prison ComplexThe next morning, the alarm sounded and the Chief woke with a start and turned it off. He stood up, put his armor and helmet on, and put the shotgun and pistol into their holsters on his side and back. He pressed the door button and walked out into the corridor where many mechanics and engineers were already busy walking about.
The Chief walked down the corridor several dozen yards and went through the door leading to the hangar and saw his transport ship, the Longsword Fighter Plane already being checked and readied by the aviation engineering crews.
"Almost ready Master Chief, sir", a marine told him. "Good", he replied. He sat down in one of the chairs and buckled up. The boarding ramp began to lift up after the rest of the team had filed in and shut completely. "Launch in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Launch!" The Fighter Plane rocketed out of the hangar and into the open air, starting to ascend quickly into outer space.
The Longsword sped through space and after many hours of flight the Covenant compound was in sight. "On approach ,sir. We'll be on the ground within two minutes."
The ship landed softly on the loosely packed snow, and the ramp extended onto the ground.
