"Watch out!" John said moving in front of Commander Data, letting his shields take the blunt of the plasma fire. "Stay behind me and fire at them. I have energy shields meant for this, you don't." The Master Chief put up his rifle and opened fire upon the shooting Covenant forces. "Excuse me but may I direct your attention to the walkway above us. There seems to be more of them." Data said opening fire with his phaser pistol, "Chief, he's right. There are more above. They really don't want us to capture this ship." Cortana says highlighting target's in John's helmet, "But I can take over the ship from the systems. Surely there is something here that we can use for our good." Cortana adds as she begins thinking up solutions. Data pipes up, "May I suggest something Cortana. I noticed that there was a force field control panel over there on the wall. We could use that to seal these aliens in and then vent the atmosphere from the specific sections." The Chief pauses and reloads his weapon as Cortana continues to think. "Chief, Commander Data has a point. Get to that panel and seal th…." Plasma fire interrupts her and the Chief opens fire, "I'm a little bit busy here Cortana!", He turns to Data, "You, go to the panel and follow your plan. I will keep the enemy occupied until you have them sealed!" He opens fire upon a group of Grunts and an Elite while Data ran for the panel.
A few moments later Data manages to bypass the Covenant Security and seals the troops in force fields. "I am ready to remove the atmosphere from their areas. All you have to do is give me the word." Data says finger above the kill switch. The Chief nods his head at Data as he stands up and looks around for more contacts. Soon the Covenant troops behind the fields begin to gasp for air and their dying noises begin to sound in the shuttle bay. "Scanning." Cortana says after the shuttle bay goes quiet, "I am not detecting any life signs within a few feet of us. We should probably move before more of them arrive." "I agree." Data says walking up, picking up two plasma rifles, "Fascinating. I have never seen a weapon like this in my Universe." Data goes on and on about the weapon's design and the Chief rolls his eyes under his helmet. "You'd think that there was only one Universe but this defies everything…" He thought to himself. "Chief, it doesn't help to keep your thoughts to yourself when you have two people inside your head." Cortana says jokingly, "Now go this way."
