"Where am I? T-this place, wait, where's my team?" I suddenly woke up out of a deep sleep, I was alone. Where are Catherine and the others? I stood up, making sure I still had my gear with me, I still had my Spartan armor, my D.M.R., my custom sidearm, my spare ammunition, and my data pad.
"Good, I still have all of my equipment; but what happened to me and my team members?" I asked myself as I began to think back to what happened earlier, Three JAVELIN Teams landed a few clicks outside of the hive we we're sent to exterminate. After we entered and split up, we heard screams and then lost contact with Rodent Team and Lizard Team. We made contact with some scout drones, we're out numbered, and I… I was injured. I quickly felt my side we're the drone's tail hit me, it was somehow bandaged.
"Kelly must've sealed my wound when I was out, but where is she and the others?" I asked myself, as I searched the area around me, looking for any sign or clue they left behind; nothing, only the dead bodies of several warriors and a lot of drones. I stood up with my weapon in my hands; I began to walk into the long corridors of the hive. After several minutes of keeping myself unaware from the drones that passed by me, I looked to my left, nothing; I looked to my right, nothing. I gave a sigh and continued inward, little by little I began to see more royal praetorians, strange, I thought to myself, lizard team said they saw no praetorians. I was starting to get agitated, it meant only one thing.
"The queen is here."
