CHAPTER 1: Arrival

Delta set up the perimeter; I remember hearing the dreadful sound of Rasgreez plummeting to the planet. What seemed like an eternity ended in a flash, I felt the ground beneath shake and then after a quiet, eerie silence over took us we then came to the terms that we were now on our own. Hours passed and still nothing know transmissions, no distress signals, but even then insisted we wait for any signs of life before moving out. Then I remember the commander's orders "our first priority is to reach the ship secure any ordinance we can and pull out, by now the covenant have figured out that we're still out here." "But sir, what about survivors…."said Ghost "We'll help who we can, but we can afford a search party, our priority is protecting this AI. Alright let's move out Delta!" replied the Commander with authority.
