CHAPTER 2: A Victory Short Lived
OVAL OFFICE, 2551, AUFUST 22, 0400HRS
As Samantha sat in the Oval Office, she couldn't help but to smirk at the thoughts in her head. For over two hundred years, she had tried to take over the world and now she had finally done so and taken out the damn teleporters Tank, Richtofen, Takeo, and Nicolai had teleported through to ruin her plans. But then, the phone rang. When she answered she heard the rough voice of Michal, the zombie she had made the leader of Orbital Defense Program. Through the years, Sam had found out ways and drugs to give her minion zombies to make them more intelligent as to make them talk and do more than just moan like a drunken man flailing his arms all around. Michal from the war room in the Pentagon said," The Covenant have found Earth, mama. What are your orders?" Sam was both enraged and a little fearful at this point. Not scared but fearful that her empire might be destroyed, for the mightiest thing in the universe was knocking on her front door and her victory of winning the world might be short lived." Ill be right there to consult possible actions." 10 minutes later…. As she entered the war room in the barely servisable elevator from the fights of trying to hold back the many zombie waves, all she could see of the screens were the Covenant ships in blood red. Sam went to the bottom floor to meet up with the Commander. "Our orbital scanners picked up the fleet as they were in midjump to our system" Sam pondered her thoughts; she never anticipated the Covenant on finding the location of Earth so she didn't have a plan already stored in her head as she usually did for every situation. But then she got one idea. "Set off the EMP's the UNSC put in the Moon at the beginning of the war. It'll make them have to land and then we will have the home field advantage". The order was put into affect in less than 5 minutes and the Covenant made their emergency landings on the planet. Now all she could do is hope there are enough zombies and fire power to hold off the new alien threat to gave Sam a moment in a dark room to just think.
