Chapter two; The Infinity and Besdilore. Location The Infinity, orbiting Besdilore. January 5, 2557, 1000 hours
The shuttle rumbled to a slow glide as it exited slipspace, jostling Jason and his canmates awake. The Infinity in all its awesome presence loomed in front of the shuttle. "Looks like were here!" a marine shouted, a little too loud. "Pipe down Johnson. We know," said another. Jason looks up from his mission log to look at the ship in front of the shuttle. Damn. Look at the size of that ship. Jason never knew a ship of such size could be built, but he was aware of its construction. The pilot of the shuttle comes on the intercom and says "Hang tight everyone. We're docking." Immediately a vibration is felt as the shuttle comes to a halt, connected with the ship.
The pod doors open and out they all walk. Captain Lasky is down waiting for Jason. "Welcome to the Infinity, Jason." Lasky says with a bit of excitement. "I read your file. You have one hell of a record, Jason". Jason replies, "Two congressional medals of honor, six purple hearts, and three stars of valor sure make for one hell of a record. And you have no idea what kind of a hell I went through to get them. That was some hard shit." "I'm sure it was," replied Lasky. "Now, the mission. You are being deployed via drop pod into the outpost on Besdilore. Another Spartan team, and a group of bad company marines will be there, awaiting you. Let's get you armed and ready." Jason, knowing he may get his M16 taken away, he says "Sir, I am already armed and ready. These are the weapons that got me through the Human-Covenant war. I am already ready. Drop me any time you want." Lasky responds, "Copy that Jason." Lasky keys his mike and addresses the ship A.I. "Roland, prep Jason's drop pod. He's going in."
I know. Short as hell. But hey. I am new to this kind of thing. Gimme a break! Feel free to shoot me a rating/ message. I want to write a good one for you all. Stay tuned. I update randomly (or at least try to.)
