UNSC- I need you!

Sergeant Martin walked down the short line of marines. "Marines! You know why you're here. This is the second anniversary of Humanity's hero Master Chief." At the last two words the Marines stood a little straighter, their faces seemingly sharper at the mention of Humanity's finest soldier. "He walked among hero's and when they were slowly whittled down by a superior force. They were outmanned, outgunned and plainly outmatched. But they stood on. When there was only him left, he turned to us! Lowly troopers, because he knew that we were humanity's last chance. Am I right Marines!" "Sir, yes sir" "Damn right I am! Dismissed!"

It had been two short years, since the end of the Human-Covenant war, Humanity had, against all odds, came out on top. With a little help from the separatist elites, Humanity's saving grace. In the form of big, stupid dinosaur monster things. Humanity began the long, arduous process of rebuilding. They used to have everything, everything. But now all they had was 7 frigates, 4 destroyers and a cruiser. It would be a long, long time before humanity would be able to pull itself together enough to be able to police their own solar system, never mind the much needed colonies which, sooner or later, would need to be set up. to ensure the survival for the human race.
