An entire cruise froze in shock and silence as the transmission echoed throughout the ears of the thousands of marines. On the bridge the commander of the ship stood looking at screens pop in and out of view of streets and fields filled with bodies and blood. "Help! Please somebody! Anybody! Ah AHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the transmission before it went to static. The cruiser known as the "midnight blue" drifted through space, still in shell shock due to the transmission. Static still ran through the speakers of the ship as the commander sat in his chair, "shut that damn thing" said the commander willing his head as an officer pressed a button and then there was silence. For many moments, not a single thing was heard throughout the ship. Then finally the commander stood from his chair and grabbed a microphone from a consul and spoke into it, " all crew prepare for drop, were going to the planet, all hands to their stations now!" with that, the ship was off, the engines roared as it started to move through space. The inside of the ship was nonstop movement, everyone was doing what they needed to do. Besides one marine who was sleeping in the mess hall in a booth. Laid back not even caring what was going on. He was the captain of the ODST, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. As he shooter away in the booth, a leg came up and kicked him in the leg. "wake up you idiot, don't you hear the commander telling everyone to get to their stations?" said a young girl with bright pink hair and In a full ODST suit. The captain opened his eyes and looked at the girl, "listen magumi, my job is to drop and shot, theirs nothing for me to till we get to a planet or a covenant ship." said the captain. " that's the thing, were getting ready to drop to a planet that sent a transmission screaming for help..." said magumi with fear on her face while holding her helmet under her arm. He could see the fear on her face, he sighed and stood up, "alright, I'll get ready ok? And don't look so scared, it's probably just another covenant ship that managed to get to a planet." "no UNSC major would scream so much over the convent sir..." Said magumi while hitting her lip in fear. "t that was a major?" now the fear was in his voice and face. He composed himself and turned to magumi, he placed his hands on her shoulder and smiled, "still don't worry ok? Were ODST, we can handle anything" magumi sighed in a slight relief and nodded, then Ran to the exit. She stopped at the door and turned to the captain and put her helmet on, " were going into hell sir, how do you want us to go in?" he smirked at her and replied, " feet first" with that she ran off down the hall.
