UNSC COVERNANT'S BANE
21/06
Captain Keith Simpkins starred out of the window of his flag ship and sighed. The sonar beeped repeatedly as he was watching the stars thinking of his wife, and waiting for something. He hated that he was faced with many enemies that the other captains never saw. Zombies and the Abandoned were among the worst. He loved being Spec ops but hated he was one of three human captains. He loved his crew from his commanders right down to the most basic marines.
"Sir! We have two Abandoned destroyer class ships on our tail" His second in command said in an panicked tone
"Send units 2 through 4 to seize and destroy." Replied Capt. Simpkins
"Sir, Ship Commander Veal of the Joint Task Force is heading to join our fleet" His second in command said suddenly
"-Radio crackle- Sir we are under fire -crackle- We are hit we're going down. Mayday Mayday we are heading down towards Co-ordinates LW 25-34 LN 53-67." Were the words emerging from the radio
"Send all Evacpods and all ODST, Marine and Spartan fire teams to the co-ordinates and establish a FOB. Leave one Evacpod for the remaining crew. All air vehicles that leave must carry as many ground vehicles as possible. All the rest will be dropped." Said the captain in a calm, emotionless voice
The ship was smashed by a massive plasma missile.
They were going down.
