ODST
(Orbital Drop Shock Trooper)
The Year is 2555
Humanity is at war with the alien alliance known as "The Covenant".
We are losing.
The Covenant have burned our worlds, killing billions in their genocidal campaign.
Earth is our last bastion - a carefully guarded secret.
But not anymore.
Now military leaders of the "United Nations Space Command" have prepared their response...
Teams of highly-trained "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" are ready to assault the carrier from Navy ships in low orbit.
This is a near-suicidal mission.
But these troopers are the best of the best.
This is a story of one of them…..
RECRUIT:
I wake up, get dressed. Today is the day, for 12 years straight I have trained to be an ODST, today my hard time pays off. I walk out of the sleeping compound of the UNSC ODST Training compound. I have a singlet and shorts on, its pouring rain, I don't feel a thing. "yo rookie, commanders looking for you, its your big day" says my friend Mitch or "Sharp" as he's nicknamed. He's been my buddy for years. My nicknames rookie, I don't know why, but I stick to that name. I walk over to the commander "you wanted to see me sir" I say. "oh yes rookie, today's the day your become an official ODST, report to suit fitting to get your custom made armour then report back to me" The commander said. "yes sir" I yell and head off to the Armour unit building. I walk in and the first thing I see is thousands of machines building Suits of amour. "ah yes you're here, time to get u fitted into your Armour" says a man standing by a strange blinking machine which seems to control all the Machines. "let me just scan you" he says pulling out a scanner and scanning my barcode which is tattooed to the back of my neck. " ah a Recon man are we, don't see many of those nowadays" he says "just walk into that tube and relax yourself, the machines will do the rest" he says pointing to a small closet tube. I walk in, its small and really cold here, I try to relax and let my mind free. "ok starting the machine now". Suddenly within seconds thousands of hands holding armour bits start measuring and putting armour and building it right on me, I don't feel any pain but it does feel strange. Within a minute I'm dressed in full armour. The doors op-en and I walk out, it feels light but awkward. "perfect fit, ok now just go put that helmet on and your ready to go" pointing to a weird Helmet on a nearby table. I go and pick it up, its really heavy, I put it on, it feels good, nice and cool. "ok now look after that suit, it'll cost you next time" the man says and then he goes and continues working on the strange machine. I take my helmet off, put it under my arm and walk back to the commander. When I head back the commanders talking to our Drill sergeant, they seem to be finishing and Drill sergeant walks away, hearing me the commander turns around and looks at me. "recon boy hey rookie, hmm nice fit" he says, inspecting my new armour. "ok now go report to pelican 7 and wait for instructions there" he says and walks off...
