Welcome my slaves! So I see you are now addicted (or are just reading on to see is the plot gets any more exciting) to my story… anyway I have nothing more to say so let us continue in the plotline.
James: Our next mission briefing went as shown: A major battle took place in the Russian town of Izhevesk which in 2009 was the 20th largest town in Russia but ever since 2354 it had been in a steady decline to which the biggest buildings were a UNSC building and an ONI building. The Covenant attacked this after Voi and your operation at the rebel base so you must move in and neutralize the Covenant in both of the buildings so the Covenant do not get a hold on the operations that we are planning.
"So in other words we are simply taking out a bunch of covenant in 2 important buildings… OK I guess that will work" Holland stated before a new voice appeared
Beginning suit calibration… Complete; my name is Andrea and I will be your new AI.
"New AI, what happened to the old one?" I asked as I realized that we never did get AI support during the last mission.
"Um… it got fried during a mission to defend sword base during the fall of Reach." Simon replied
"What do you mean by fried?" I asked
"We hooked it up to the mainframe of SWORD base and we never got the chance to recover it before the glassing apparently obliterating it… It would have gone rampant even if we did get it back." Simon told me. "Oh and UNSC was too lazy to get us a new one before today" He added on.
"Andrea will we have support for this mission?" Bailey asked the new AI
Yes you will have support in the form of a squad of 18 marines waiting to storm the front of either building when called upon as well as AS (air support) in the form of a falcon to pick up your team and 3 pelicans to attack the buildings or the city should you call upon it or you fail the mission.
"Ok that is good so let's get moving off to Izhevesk." I told them as we got into a pelican with a Marine pilot. We stood around a UNSC holographic projector displaying the city and the two target buildings. "I want Holland and Nexus on sniper duty while Bailey, Simon, and I move in on the 4th floor of the UNSC building to try to storm it from the right flank." I told them as we arrived into the city and began flying overhead. "As for the ONI building I want Nexus, Bailey, and Simon to take the building from the 14th floor (out of 38 floors which were mostly derelict from floor 23 up) while me and Holland provide some air support from falcons that I will bring in personally from the UNSC helipad.
Blasts began hitting our pelican as I noticed that there were anti-air cannons blasting at us "So that's why they called us in…" I stated as I told Nexus and Simon to drop and eliminate the Anti-air cannons so we could continue to the building.
Simon: Me and Nexus walked the stretch to the AA cannons. I noticed Nexus had not said one word since he temporarily joined the team. "Don't talk much do ya?" I asked trying to make a casual conversation. He shook his head and pointed to his shield activator to warn me to activate my shields. Elites were standing near the Grunts which were facing us making it harder to sneak up on them. "Ok I don't want to engage in a firefight as there are elites that will obviously outgun us so we need someone to provide a distraction" I requested over a comm.
Should I make a request for distraction units to strike from behind or simply activate some active camouflage so you can sneak behind. Andrea asked me.
"I want the camouflage armor ability." I told her.
Activating active camouflage ability on Spartan-III's Nexus and Simon beginning… Deactivating armor locks… checking UNSC database… DONE I have now gotten armor abilities for the entire team but for now you will be using active camouflage.
"Good" I praised her before we sneaked behind and took out the elites and eliminated the grunts commandeering the 3 cannons.
*There are 3 other cannons on the other side of the road. Use one to eliminate those and use the other to eliminate any Covenant air forces especially the phantoms should you let them know you're here* We were told by James and we did both with ease and we were picked up by the pelican.
James: "Andrea run a scan on nearby enemy forces in the area" I requested
Beginning scan with basic satellite equipment… Basic equipment gives more than 500 Covenant forces in the area and about 250 Rebel forces trying to fight them off. Would you like a more advance scan with UNSC or ONI equipment?
"Run the scan with ONI equipment but if you cannot breach use UNSC equipment"
Running ONI scan… Unable to use ONI equipment I am now switching over to UNSC equipment… UNSC equipment giving same readings but an unknown force is advancing on the streets to the middle of a standoff between rebel and covenant forces.
"Thank you for letting us know" I said and I told our pilot to drive to the 4th floor
"No can do the 4th floor is way too dangerous" He told me
"Do it you peace muffin helicopter pilot." I yelled at him and he did it after that and that is why I dislike pilots of falcons and pelicans that do not go into direct battle. "Ok and I want Holland and Nexus you see that hill? I want you to take sniper position up at that hill" I ordered them.
Holland: "God I hate sniper duty…" I told Nexus attempting to make the oaf that never talks to actually talk. I saw three grunts walking the third floor and we took them out. A small Elite meeting was going on probably discussing the next attack. "Ok let's snipe them and keep their meeting from getting any… devious ideas" I told him and the meeting was short lived when each one fell and they didn't know where the attackers were"
*OK I need you to get Oscar mike and move in to the top floor and wait for us to get there as we need supporting fire* we were ordered and I requested a falcon through Andrea and within 10 minutes we were waiting for the others to arrive.
Bailey: "Guys we have to hurry because I don't think Simon has the ability to instantly fry computers" I urged James. It's too bad Winter is gone because she was the only one I could really talk too. "Look out I think two Elites are coming from the corner" James warned me as we took position. The Elites were taken out using active camouflage and Simon came out just in time because reinforcements were coming in for the covenant.
We met Nexus and Holland at the top of the UNSC building where they told us that the Pilot was already gone. "Damn pinko commies they never go into real battle and never stay at the sight of danger"
James:"Andrea I need you to request us a falcon to get us out of here ASAP"
Requesting falcon… Nearest falcon 14 miles from your current location… Requesting… Request acknowledged falcon will be arriving on your position in 8 minutes minimum.
"Ok executioner we have to defend our position for 8 minutes" I told them and grunts began flooding the area but we managed and eventually gained enough position to temporarily block the door. Eventually Banshees equipped with some form of radiation gun shot at us and began charging for a big beam to kill us all and it shot it at the door when the falcon arrived.
Radiation shields at 90%... 80%... 60%... 30%... 10%... 5%...
We had all sprinted inside the falcon but Nexus was shot by a needle rifle and was slowed and as we had to get away he jumped but barely missed and fell 18 floors down to his death. I had asked the pelicans to obliterate the ONI building at once to be safe as we had to retreat.
We could have gotten the ONI codes… Andrea said depressed as we got the orders to go to a floating fortress ship that was dedicated to us to use against a fleet of covenant ships. "Give me info on that ship Andrea" I told her
This is the UNSC Reach dedicated to battling it is outfitted with rapid fire ballistics and several different types of plasma weaponry. In three days time you will be sent in to attack the covenant fleet but until then your next mission will send you to collect an AI captured by the flood.
So did you like this chapter? I plan to include 3 new members, possible sequel, and possible romance? Anyway this chapter is over and other than that I have nothing~theepicME1211
