Coyote Team: Beginnings

by GoldenEagle15

They weren't supposed to be alive. Yet here they are, six SPARTAN-IIs with one task:hurt the Insurrection in anyway possible. (This story contains select characters from the Halo universe, however they do not play a main role. Enjoy!)

PROLOGUE

"Are you sure you want to go through with this, ma'am?" the burly officer asked,

"I am," the young woman replied,

"What if their connection disrupts your plans?" the officer continued,

"They will have no knowledge of their connection," the woman said insistently.

Still not ready to admit defeat, the officer took another look at the file and sighed.

"Are we sure that they are the only option?" he asked, "Isn't there another candidate somewhere we could swap out?"

The young woman took the file and scrolled through it.

"We do not have the time to retrieve another," she replied solemnly, "I have barely enough to retrieve the remaining fixed candidates before we must begin training to stay on schedule."

The officer stared at the floor for a while and when his face came back up, it seemed to have another line etched across it.

"Where are they?" he asked, "Harvest, Arcadia, Harmony?"

The woman shook her head,

"Reach," she replied.

The officer stood up and straightened his jacket,

"Then to Reach we shall go," he said confidently. The woman nodded and stood as well. She gathered her things and headed for the door.

"Dr. Halsey," the officer said sternly. The woman stopped.

"I hope this all goes well," the officer continued.

Dr. Halsey stood in silence for a brief second, then continued out the door,

"As do I, Lieutenant Keyes."
