Date: January 5th 2552, 0700hours

Location: Frigate Ship "First to Flame" Edan Orbit

*ODST squad leader* Alright everyone get ready for the drop! We are over a Planet that we currently need some Hell jumpers on. So that's why we're here.

*Sarah* I looked around the room at my entire squad fumbling around getting ready for our drop on Edan. I felt myself shake in my boots as time went by. "Are you ready for this?" a voice said. It was my squad mate Corporal Reyes but we called him by his first name Alex. "No not really I'm just a little anxious" I replied. But inside I was a little scared. "Well glad to hear it" Alex said, "I think we could take these cubbies on Edan and go home with our chins up". I admired his confidence but that still didn't help. I've fought Covenant before and I knew how challenging they are. But it was for the best to be confident we needed to win and put a stop to this war once and for all. So I walked to my pod ready to take on the Covenant I watched as Alex and my other squad mates get in their pods. I closed my eyes and heard my door close. I felt my pod bump around with me moving around in it. My heart was racing and my palms were sweaty. Then I heard the beeps…*Beep*…*Beep*…*Beep* Then my pod shot off towards Edan. I felt heat in my pod I started to sweat then I entered the atmosphere of Edan. Then my pod was malfunctioning so I started to go off course toward a jungle. Then I looked at my monitor as I sped toward the surface. *crash*
