The Master Chief ran down the hall of the Ubërtomb (my made-up UNSC ship) panting from the long run and yet he still ran.
'I'm going to be late for my mission briefing if I don't hurry. The captain is going to be so pissed.' He arrived in the center of the station barely in his MJOLNIR armor.
"Ah, Master Chief, your late, so not surprising." He gave a wry smile," Take your seat and listen good boy."
'Cortana record this while I sleep' thought John directed to his neural AI implant.
'Ok Chief but it's your funeral if I accidentally miss something'
'And yours also remember, you're in my head.'
'Touché, Chief'
The Chief fell into a deep sleep and awakened to a warning siren.
"What's going on!" barked the Chief.
"Covenant Battle-cruisers attacking us from every position, sir, I suggest we fire our MAC cannons before it is too late.
"Approve firing of MAC cannons Lieutenant Yuitan. Do it NOW!!!!!"
"Yessir Captain, I mean Master Chief sir. Initiating MAC cannons now."
Outside the ship the Covenant were blowing them to pieces. John was strapping on a space jetpack.
"I'm going out there manually to get inside their ships and take them out."
"Good luck soldier, show 'em hell" barked the captain as he saluted.
John jumped out of the launching bay and into space. He felt his MJOLNIR armor automatically adjust its heat to fit him. He went straight for the nearest ship and punctured its shields ( really he would've had to blast a hole in the shield and go in or splat himself on it).
Once inside he encountered Covenant Grunts. Before they could react he had killed them all brutally by smashing in their skulls with his boots and the butt of his MA5B assault weapon. He took most of their plasma weapons for tech labs to scavenge later. He moved quickly and silently throughout the ship taking out the additional Covenant patrol of Jackals. Only twice so far had he encountered Elites on the ship.
As he entered the next room he noticed strange markings on the door. He opened it and inside was a Covenant-Human-Flood-robot hybrid being. It moved faster than 3 Spartans put together and more. It jumped on him like a dog with a new bone biting through his MJOLNIR armor. To his surprise all he did to kill it (or so it seemed) was a kick to the human ribcage.
He quickly left that room and continued. Further down the hall he found more of the creations and realized that this was like the Covenants' version of the Spartan project. The further he went the more he found and the more Hunter footprints he saw.
He went around the next corner on the alert. There he found 3 Hunters crammed together by the hybrids. He threw a grenade and left them there. ' Easy enough' he thought.
Maybe too easy , maybe it was a trap, or an empty ship, or something else all together. An invasion possibly, overrun the human colonies with the hybrids and watch them kill us all like animals. The Covenant are the animals here.
He heard something behind him. He tuned and was horrified.
