On March 30, 2584, on the UNSC Spring of Flames, leader of Blue Team, John-117 said, "I still don't believe that everyone else is dead."

Leader of Fireteam Osiris, Jameson Locke said, "No one could have predicted this to happen."

Leader of Fireteam Grasshopper, Carmella Ward said, "No one expected this, guys. They came out of nowhere and shot our birds out of the sky."

Leader of Fireteam X-Ray, Kane Baker said, "Those were Covenant ships, right?"

Leader of Fireteam Firehawk, Michelle Zachary asked, "What the hell are we going to do up against such a large enemy with just a small force?"

Leader of Fireteam Leviathan, Mark King asked, "What do you think sir? It's only 25 of us and millions of them."

The CO of the UNSC Spring of Flames, Thomas Kramer said, "I think that we gotta give our friends on Sanghelios a call."

John-117 said, "The Swords of Sanghelios."

Thomas said, "They are our last hope."

Everyone heard that and then a muffled voice appeared saying, "One eed me."

Thomas heard that and asked, "Nami, could you change the frequency so we could understand him a little clearer?"

Nami answered, "I could try sir."

The voice said, "This is 5th Combat Helo, does anyone read me?"

Everyone heard that and said, "Survivors."

Thomas said, "5th Combat Velo, this is the UNSC Spring of Flames. What's your situation, soldier?"

The voice heard that and answered, "Not that many of us are left. The Covenant just came out of nowhere and attacked us. There are only 6 of us left."

Thomas heard that and smiled and said, "Your location."

He answered, "Tchitvar Canyon, Tavasco."

Thomas said, "I'm going to send a team to get you."

He heard that and said, "Thank you. 5th Combat Helo, out."

Thomas said, "We aren't the only ones left everyone. Blue Team, I want you to retrieve them. Fireteams X-Ray and Osiris, cover them. The rest of us will protect the ship."

They said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "Slipspace to the Cybe System."

Nami said, "Yessir."

Thomas looked around and saw that everyone was excited to hear that their were a tiny amount of survivors and then Thomas said, "Also, get me a connection to everywhere in the universe where we have colonized."

Nami asked, "Why?"

Thomas answered, "We're going to see if we're capable of saving people. The more humans we have, the better chances for survivor. But you guys really don't have to worry about surviving."

Kelly-087 asked, "What do you mean by that, sir?"

Thomas answered, "You Spartans are immortal. I'm not."

They heard that and then Nami said, "All set sir."

Thomas said, "Everyone that is still alive out there, this is the UNSC Spring of Flames. If you can hear me, drop a beacon in your location and we'll try to come pick you up. I am Fleet Admiral Thomas Kramer. Even though my rank means little now, we all need to stick together to keep our race from falling completely extinct. We hope that you hear this and get that beacon down. We'll contact back in 30 minutes. Good luck."

Nami said, "I don't know how you became a Fleet Admiral, but you are ass."

Thomas laughed and said, "Sorry about that. It's so true, I know."

They appeared in the Cybe System and Tavasco was just up ahead and Thomas said, "Alright, go get them and come back. We don't have time to fight. Unless it is necessary."

Thomas heard footsteps and turned toward the bridge's entrance and Georgia Stewart asked, "What's wrong?"

Thomas answered, "I thought that I heard something. Fireteam Firehawk, with me."

Nami heard that and Thomas said, "Blue Team, get the survivors. Fireteams Osiris and X-Ray, cover them and make sure they don't fail."

They said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "The rest of us will protect this ship."

Everyone started running to their positions and then Thomas took his M30 Magnum (Pistol) out and Melissa Keyes asked, "What if it's your imagination, sir?"

Thomas answered, "Then it's my imagination. But I know that I heard something."

Raven Snow said, "It's not his imagination. I just saw a shadow."

Thomas asked, "Was it human?"

Raven answered, "Unknown. The person is running away."

Thomas sighed and said, "Let's follow."

They started to chase after the person and then Blue Team appeared inside of a Pelican and Fireteam Osiris and Fireteam X-Ray appeared inside of a Fighter Jet and said, "Let's do this."

They appeared inside of the infirmary and Thomas saw the person and walked over to him/her and said, "It's going to be ok. We're humans. We won't harm you."

The person heard that and looked at him and then the others and crawled out of the cubby hole and hugged Thomas and Thomas saw that and smiled and hugged it back and asked, "What's your name?"

The person answered, "Chelsea Calderon. Covenant killed everyone. I hid in their."

Thomas said, "It's nice to meet you, Chelsea. I'm Thomas Kramer. Please call me Thomas."

Chelsea lifted her head up and kissed him and they saw that and Raven said, "Huh."

Melissa said, "We shouldn't be getting laid in this system."

Thomas pushed her back and looked at her and asked, "What the hell was that?"

Chelsea answered, "An I love you kiss."

Thomas heard that and said, "Sorry, maybe later."

Chelsea asked, "Are you dating already?"

Thomas answered, "Nope."

Chelsea asked, "Then what is the problem?"

Thomas answered, "We're in enemy territory."

Georgia said, "Everyone in this damn universe is enemy territory except for Sanghelios."

Nami said, "Sir, we got bogies out here."

Thomas said, "Shoot them down with the thermo cannons."

Nami said, "Yessir."

Nami said, "Fireteams X-Ray and Osiris, stay 2 light years away from the ship. We're about to go hot."

Edward Buck said, "They are about to shoot the Thermo Cannons."

They floored it and then said, "Go ahead Nami. We're 2 light years away."

Nami said, "Understood."

Nami started shooting the Banshees out of the sky and then said, "Sir, we need people to man the turrets."

Thomas asked, "How many?"

Nami answered, "Just one."

Frank Reese said, "I'll go, sir."

Thomas heard that and then sighed and John-117 said, "Blue Team to 5th Combat Helo, come in."

The soldier heard that and said, "A Spartan, shit."

John-117 said, "We dropped some rope. Climb up. We'll cover you."

Frederic-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058 took their SMR259 Spartan Rifles (Sniper Rifle) out and then started sniping the enemies while they were climbing up and Alex Rollins asked, "How are we doing Blue Team?"

Frederic-104 said, "4 of the 6 are up."

John-117 said, "Get up here already."

Olympia Vale said, "Don't rush them."

A bullet hit one of the soldiers and then Frederic-104 went down and grabbed his arm and pulled him up and said, "Alright. Everyone is on board."

The soldier said, "Thank you for coming. We thought that we were goners."

John-117 said, "No problem. Sir, we got the 6 soldiers."

Thomas said, "Come on back men. It's time to meet up with our friends on Sanghelios."

Holly Tanaka said, "You can't be serious."

Thomas said, "Hey, that's the only safe place for us right now. Everything has been taken from us by the Covenant. Nami, get us in contact with them."

The Shadow of Intent appeared and the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam said, "No need. I'm here to help out."

Thomas said, "That was easy. We were just about to contact you, Arbiter."

Thel 'Vadam said, "Fleet Admiral Kramer, nice to hear your voice again. Come to Sanghelios. It's your only safe haven correct?"

Thomas answered, "The Covenant took everything else from us."

Thel 'Vadam said, "Damn, it's been rebuilt."

John-117 said, "Yep."

Thomas said, "Lead the way sir."

Thel 'Vadam said, "Master Chief, should have known that you were still alive. Nothing will kill you."

John-117 said, "Not true."

Thomas said, "Get back on. We'll be heading to Sanghelios immediately."

They said, "Yessir."

More Covenant Banshees appeared and Locke said, "To your left. To your left."

Thel 'Vadam said, "Those are upgraded versions of the old Covenant ships."

Frederic-104 said, "We need more power."

John-117 looked at the Banshees and then Fireteam X-Ray shot them down and said, "Let's go Blue Team."

John-117 pushed the throttle and then they took off and then landed inside of the UNSC Spring of Flames and then Thomas said, "Open it up to all channels again."

Nami did and Thomas said, "This is Fleet Admiral Thomas Kramer. If you didn't hear my last request, now is the time to listen. The Covenant are on the move again. Activate a beacon. We need people, and the human race is almost extinct. Right now, we only have 32 humans. We would like to help bring our species back to the way it used to be. In the billions, not in the tens like we are now. So we'll be waiting for your beacon. Good luck everyone, we hope that there are more humans out there."

Nami said, "Nothing still, sir."

Thomas said, "As soon as we get to Sanghelios everyone, we can't afford to let the Covenant take that as well."

Kelly-087 said, "Understood."

The 6 soldiers appeared in front of him and said, "We'll help out sir."

Thomas said, "Alright. I need you to work on the terminals on the bridge and help Nami out. Leader of your group."

The leader said, "Sir."

Thomas said, "Introduce yourself."

He said, "Captain Kenny Graves, sir."

Thomas said, "Graves, make sure they don't mess up my ship. I've been protecting her for 20 years."

Kenny said, "Understood sir."

They ran to the terminal and John-117 walked out and asked, "Who's the girl attached to you?"

Thomas answered, "Chelsea Calderon. She's been hiding on my ship all this time. Hid from the Covenant."

John-117 heard that and then looked at her and said, "Nice to meet you."

Thomas said, "Alright, let's go."

Thel 'Vadam said, "Alright. To Sanghelios."

They slipspaced to Sanghelios and then as soon as they flew through it, they appeared in Urs System and Thel 'Vadam said, "Welcome to Sanghelios, humans."

Thomas said, "It's been years since I've been here."

Thel 'Vadam said, "True."

They landed in a safe harbor and then Thel 'Vadam said, "For now, you'll need to make your own tent. But as soon as we have buildings ready for you, we'll contact you. And I'll have some of my men protect you sir from any known threat out there."

Thomas said, "You don't need to, Arbiter. I've gotten better with a gun. And men, we're on the Sangheili's territory. Don't fuck around. Obey them and we'll be fine."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

Then everyone started making tents for themselves.
