SILENT JUDGMENT
Chapter l:
TEST GALAXY 953: NEW REPUBLIC-COALITION SHIPYARD--VERGESSO ASTEROIDS BELT. FEBRUARY 1, 2526. UNSE TIME.
Will was slowly walking down the hall inside one of the bigger asteroids in the shipyard base. Hard to believe that only a few months earlier he thought that the UNSE and the Covenant were the only things that existed still in the universe. However, those amazing rings called Halo turned out to be gates to other realities, so to speak. The Covenant found this out too, and were now hell bent on not only wiping out all human life in his galaxy and every other one as well.
He continued down the corridor. On a balcony overlooking an assembly area massive numbers of X-wings, E-wings, B-wings, Y and K-wing bombers and numerous other fighters were being assembled at break neck speed. Just two months ago, the coalition forces barely kept the covenant from destroying Earth. They even managed to counter attack Reach and take that back into the Coalition. Since then the Covenant had changed their tactics. They decided to take out the galaxies with the strongest coalition allies first. That meant that this galaxy and the one run by the Federation were now bearing the blunt of the onslaught.
Will continued to walk down the corridor. He was still inside his battle armor. The Coalition decided to send its best warriors to where the intense fighting was occurring. Just two weeks ago, the covenant attacked a republic shipyard planet called Fondor. Apparently the Covenant was running as low on resources as the Coalition. Instead of the usual-- turning the planet into a molten glass ball from orbit, they actually tried to capture it with its resources intact. The Coalition was successful thanks to some help by the Imperial Fleet. However, the casualty rate was catastrophic. He didn't understand what coalition intelligence wanted with him. He walked into a small office. It was very unitarian except for a painting of a dragon behind the desk. The chair swiveled revealing an alien. Will never bothered to learn all the allied species, like the rest of his fellow Spartans did. If he was here, he was an allied.
The Alien spoke saying, "Like it? It's a star dragon. They thrive along the planets of the outer rim." Will replied, "I've never been into art. But that thing looks like it's actually alive. Gives me the creeps." The Alien said, "That's what all humans say when they see it. I painted it myself. Sit down Will-043." Will sat and said, "What exactly does Coalition intelligence want with me?" The Alien leaned forward and said, "What I'm about to tell you is beyond top-secret. Twelve of your hours ago, a long range Covenant shuttle dropped out of hyperspace near another one of our shipyards. Inside were several lizards who wished to defect. They also brought disturbing information. Apparently on a isolated planet on the borders of the Sii-Ruuvi the Covenant have some sort of secret project on-going with Sii-Ruuvi assistance. Apparently the lizards say it's some sort of weapon of unholy power. We've decided to send a special- ops team to find and destroy it. We have commissioned you to lead the team."
Will studying the Alien said, "I'm more of a straight up combat guy. I think John or Linda would be more suited for this mission." The Alien snapped back, "Out of the question. They're already busy in other engagements with the Covenant. Don't worry you'll have access to all the best weapons for this one. Just name it and you've got it." Will smiled, if there's one thing he really liked it was really heavy weapons. It would be like Christmas to him. "O.K.--so where's my team and when do I leave?" said Will. The Alien said "You'll be leaving in seven hours." He then dropped a large green folder on the top of the desk. "Here's all the information you need to know. Enemies possible strength, your teammates and their specialties, and some info on the Sii-Ruuvi, since it's a good possibility you may encounter some." Will picked up the folder and said, "You guys don't do things half- way, do you?" The Alien smiled and said, "We Bothens never do things half way when it comes to intelligence. Good luck Will, and may the force be with you." Please read, review and recommend.
