Location: The Museum of Humanity

Interviewer-"Can you tell us something about the battle?"

Maj. Pawel-"We had been fighting for a while. On the seventh day we ran out of ammo. We had to scavenge all we could from the weapons left behind. The pistols, shotgun rounds, a handful of grenades."

Interviewer-"Do you remember where you were?"

Maj. Pawel-"When Master Chief armed his grenade, I was in the back of an overturned Warthog, with an M41."

Interviewer-"How did you manage to keep it together?"

Maj. Pawel-"We knew Master Chief was still in the fight…He gave us hope…"

One Day before the

Battle of New Mombassa

"I had been sitting in my foxhole, on the outer defense ridge when we got the call…" Major Pawel

Corporal Pawel Czernek sat down in his foxhole, aligned with his allies. Each and every one of them from second platoon, Charlie Company, First Infantry Division. His MA5C was propped up against the side of the foxhole next to his right leg. He stared out into the large desert ahead of him. The bustle of hundreds upon hundreds of Marines could be heard all over. Everyone was getting as much cover and obstacles set up for the fight. He heard a light thump as his friend Corporal John Hayes plopped down in the hole to his left.

"How're you doing?" asked Hayes as he sat down. Pawel turned his head to look at him. He then turned his head to look back at the desert again.

"I'm doing ok. How about you?" Pawel replied, his eyes wandering the desert.

"Same as you." Hayes looked behind him as a Warthog drove past and setup behind a large barrier. "This is a lot of stuff for a small Covenant force isn't it?" Hayes asked, watching as a platoon of Marines walked by.

"It won't be a small Covenant force. It'll be large, and it'll be Hell." Said Pawel, turning his head to look at the movement behind him. Hayes turned and stared at him as if Pawel had gone mad.

"How the heck do you know what they're force will be like? You haven't even seen them yet." Retorted Hayes as he crossed his arms.

"This is Humanities last fight. They'll send everything they have to take it. They also know that the Master Chief is back on Earth. They want him, and they want him bad. He seems to know something about the Covenants presence here, and why they haven't glassed us yet." Explained Pawel, getting up and pulling out a pack of cigarettes. Hayes looked at him as he stood.

"Where the Hell did you learn any of this shit?" Hayes inquired.

"I overheard Colonel Lias and him speaking, up at the Command Post." Pawel said, jerking his head back towards the hill behind him.

"Hey Czernek, get over here and help me with this will ya!" Screamed out a Sergeant in his company.

"Comin' sir, just give me a minute." Replied Pawel. He grabbed a cigarette from the pack and stuck it his mouth and stuffed the pack back in his pocket. He then frantically searched for something else in his clothes but found nothing. He looked back down at Hayes.

"You got a lighter?" He muffled out. Hayes looked up and nodded. He stood up and retrieved the small square like object. He flipped open the lid and lit the small fire. Pawel bent his head down and stabbed the cigarette into it and then pulled away. He took a drag and then pulled it out and blew.

He bent down and grabbed his MA5C and slung it over his shoulder. He stood back up and walked over to the Sergeant. He helped him pick up the large crate marked x10 S2-AM. They moved over into a shattered building and lugged it up the stairs where group of sharpshooters sat.

"Here you go boys; ten S2-AM's loaded and cocked. Corporal Czernek will go get the ammo crates and bring them up here." The Sergeant said and walked off. Pawel looked at him with a pissed expression. He looked back to the group of snipers.

"Do you guys know where the ammo is?" Pawel asked with a sigh.

"Yeah, it's by the Warthog down over there." Said one of the Snipers, pointing to a spot outside the house. Pawel poked his head out of a large bomb hole in the wall to see the Warthog that drove past him before.

"Ok thanks, I'll be right back with it." Pawel said and walked off. He went back down the stairs and outside where he was almost run over by a Scorpion. He stepped back quickly and sighed a quick relief. He continued his way to the Warthog. He grabbed the cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the ground.

He reached the Hog' and looked around until he found ten cases of ammo for the S2-AM's. He bent down and picked them and made his way back up to the snipers.

"Here you go, feel free to ask for anything else." Pawel said, placing the ammo on the ground by the sharpshooters. He began to walk off when one spoke up.

"You got any smokes?" Pawel nodded and reached into his pocket and pulled out the cigarettes and threw them to the snipers.

"Enjoy yourselves." Said Pawel as he walked off. He quickly made his way back to his foxhole. He un-slung his rifle and dropped it on the side of the hole. He plopped himself back down and looked back into the desert.

"What the Hell were you doing for so long?" Asked Hayes looking at him.

"Running some errands for the kind Sergeant." Replied Pawel, not even looking at Hayes.

"Charlie Company, listen up!" Screamed a Captain from a different company.

"Now what god damnit." Whined Pawel in a low voice.

"Intel has just intercepted a message from the Covenant forces. Now for some god damn reason, the Covenant seem to think they can come and roll over us like nothing. But if that were so then why are we here? Now this is our last defense, our last line of defense. And this is our last home. Now we will defend it with out lives, and at all costs. This is our last stand. But this is not our last battle, and this is not Humanities last battle. We will live on and persevere for ages to come. Now set up, load up and fight. Hell's on it's way, and we're here to stop it."

The whole speech gained the Captain a few cheers and applauses. But after everyone just returned to their positions. Pawel stood up again and turned around.

"Now where're you going?" Asked Hayes, looking up at him. Pawel waved him off.

Interviewer-"What did you say to him?"

Maj. Pawel-"I told him I had to take a piss." Pawel laughed out. "But after that I didn't see him again."

Interviewer- "What happened to him?"

Maj. Pawel-"I don't know." Pawel said as his lips began to tremble. "I don't know…"
