history
History Witnessed family killed on Earth at a young age when the Covenant jumped into slip-space when leaving New Alexandria, Palmer joined the UNSC Army. When the CO noticed his high skill marks in PT, the CO recommended Palmer to be inducted into the Spartan IV program. When the CO approached Palmer with his offer, he accepted and was thus a part of the Spartan IV program. Over the course of his S-IV training, Palmer excelled at Tank warfare, compared to the rest of the S-IV's. In War Game simulations, Palmer showed that he excelled better with a Tank, than any other vehicle. When ONI heard of this, they asked Palmer to help develop a better tank and improve it's armor, thus making the ONI Scorpion variant. ONI decided to give Palmer an experimental tank called the Hannibal Scorpion and send them results of its combat capabilities. Has been attached to the newly formed spartan fireteam hellfire and the UNSC Noble.

Lethality… unknown
Unknown location
Hellfire one
Currently engaged in active combat with unknown factions war ships…
Breaking off from the commander I engaged the full combat capabilities of the siege bike. Pushing forward I felt the bike shudder as it shifted revealing its missile pods and its machine guns. Then the burst of speed kicked in as the bike jerked me forward with it. I wasn't one that usually got to play with the siege bikes usually that went to fire team shadow but since they were on the pelicans guns trying to keep it from becoming a fireball .
It was just splendid…
I pulled up heading to get above the enemy fleet..
I never was a good fighter pilot...
But I was a decent bomber pilot…
Looking at the there set up in a closing in line formation trying to enclose the noble and its two escorting ships…
Smart we couldn't use our macs as effective..
But they lined themselves up like dominos.
Jerking the bike over I swooped in on my first target
One pod launched forward setting a grin on my face.
The pod's cover shot off as the payload of missiles were released blue streaks form the missiles .
They hit along the middle of the top of the ship a few hit the bridge punching a good foot size hole where everyone missiles hit.. Then came the decompression pulling whatever was in the tin can outside..
I did like the fire power though… that was one good thing about the siege bike..
I pulled off to the right as I zoomed passed the bridge..
Pulling up on the controls I hugged the bottom of the ship as i lined up the next ship for the next strike hitting it in the ass…
Pulling the trigger this time two pods shot forward.
Again the blue streaks..
The effect was different..
The missiles hit the enemy engines directly but instead of disabling them like I thought..
It started a chain reaction that blew the ship to hell.
Hmm well that was a rather unexpected result…
Thats when the enemies started to take notice me...
A weird tear drop ship was being escorted by two the heavy fighters. The three started to heading towards me..
Pulling away I made a break trying to outrun them..
I was partially successful but thats when they opened up..
The hit one of the four engines causing it to stutter out as the red lasers tore it apart.
Thankfully it didn't explode it would have taken the entire bike with it.
All three ships proceeded to over shot me …
That would be a fatal decision..
Three pods unclipped from my crippled bike and shot forward..
One for each of them..
" captain i need your to help with some fighters they crippled my bike." i wasn't one to back down but watching the fighters zip around trying to evade the missiles was fun and it was worrying. Especially for my wounded bike.
The first missile hit one of the escorts blowing one of the engines and allowing a few more to strike and finish the opponent off.
" This noble six to hellfire one i'm in bound hold off for just a bit longer spartan" the captain spoke with a underlying tone..
Oh I remember that tone.
Something was about to die very violently… and very quickly.
The other escort managed to escape the missiles but was forced into some of the wreckage of their ship I blew up. It resulted in the fighter losing one of its engines. It went spinning off into the distant soon to be lost for eternity.
Their main fighter thought came round managing to escape the volley. It came around again this time coming from above me. I sent a mental signal for the bike to release its extra machine gun so i had something more then my flame thrower.
With little time I used my suits built in thrusters to help save the siege bike as i managed to just move it away from being struck in the center took the hits before one of the wings was torn off .engine and all. Three engines down great one left.
The enemy ship flew by close almost striking me. Oh how i wanted to just rip the asshole out of his ship for what he did.
Instead I pulled the machine gun up to bear unleashing a volley of fire at it.
None of the rounds seemed to do much to the enemy ship.
Thats when a streaks of blue shots all around me. the swarm of blue wrapped and twisted around me as they streaked forward.
The captain proceeded to shot by to hunt down my offender. Both preceded to fly off zipping and shooting at each other whenever they got lined up for one.
Thus leaving me by myself with just a floating piece of scrap that once was my bike.
Why do i always end up in crappy situations.
" This is hellfire one to noble gonna need a overwatch…. My bikes been trashed but it's still functioning sorta of ," I could already hear the laughter of reaper one.
Maybe I should throw him out an airlock.
Slowly but steadily I gave the bike some thrust
" Affirmative hellfire one the spartans have arrived so Reaper one is preparing a saber and will be enroute to your position to give you a pick up" The command and control officer called off as the battle net filled with chatter.
Oh just my luck…
"Copy that control i'm gonna ram my bike into one of their ships and see if i can't blow it up" turning the bike slightly using my own thrusters. I angled towards the closest ship and speed off towards it.
If I got to be picked up by that asshole i'm gonna blow up another ship.
Noble Six
Siege bike
Currently engaged in dogfight with unknown foe.
Spinning, jinking, dives ,twist, and turns the enemy fighter just was frantically trying to escape me.
It was gonna get away not after almost taking a spartans life…
Beep…
click …
Another burst of missiles shot from the right wing.
Pulling the trigger the gauss cannon fired just clipping the enemy fighter.
The missiles screeched towards it almost their. Some struck the debris almost nailing it.
Thats when it clicked it wasn't running it was trying to get out of the debris field.
Pushing the thrusters to their max the siege bike shot forward closing the distances.
I needed to stop it from getting away.
Pulling the trigger again i launched my last two missile pods…
In seconds the Missiles shot off before streaking towards my foe.
When the missiles were half way the enemy ship broke through the debris field. The swarm of missiles was hot on its heels.
Five seconds after they had managed to break through I blasted out of the field of scrap.
So close.. The missiles almost were there practically on top of it.
And thats when from nowhere a lot of reinforcements came in.
One of the capital ship had got right in between the fighter and my missiles taking the hit on its energy shields.
The worst part was that it was another republic one bringing the wrath of more fighters.
I turned and burned as the swarm of new waves fighters and bombers spilled out of the large cruisers.
This wasnt gonna go well.
"Noble we have a problem get all fighters ready immediately." i pushed the bike faster..
One group of republic fighters had spotted me as I rushed to get back to my ship…
Twenty in total.
They started to try and chase…
Oh how they would fair.
Chasing a wolf doesn't end well when the pack is so close..
The enemy fighters braved the debris as they tried to shoot me down
But between me being a small and fast target and the large sheets of scrap they didn't come close.
Zipping around a bend i shot out of the debris. Field five of the fighters managed to keep up with me and shot out as well.
They closed in unaware to how close they were to their own demise.
With a twist and turn I zipped between the blue lights that my enemy shot in hopes of destroying me..
Form fornt a vehicle decloaked as missiles shot forward.
The predator just became prey.
The ship was a saber and as I had proven it out classed the opponents fighters a great deal.
"This is hellfire one and reaper one to noble six we got this head back to the noble situation is changing. We'll link up with you back on the ship sir." the pyro lover spoke with an edge to his voice. In the background the sound of multiple missile locks sound from within his helmet.
The best thing about the grenadier helmet much like the gungnir was that it had better ballistics computers than other types of helmets. Allowing the wearer when linked to vehicles to be able to lock onto multiple targets at once.
It was a lethal combination of man and machine an both squad leaders were showing that to great effect as they tore the enemy fighters apart.
"Patton eta on linking back up with the noble?" I wonder what the situation changes could have happened to put hellfire one on edge
"Sir at your current speed with no interruption ten minutes sir." Patton spoke as i wonder what it could be that would be so important.
Aboard the noble
Six
/… emergency message received
/..playing message
"we need immediate back up position is being over run.. We have civilians please if anyone is able to help please send help we'll hold off as long as we can but the droids are pushing us back hard… we need ... watch out… they breached the door …. Fall back, fall back… ahhh ."
/Message end
I replayed the message as the situation has changed a great deal.
Looking up the deck crew along with all three spartan team leaders looked at me. Waiting for an answer.
" Patton prepare the Jones for atmosphere combat send in the fifty-fourth armor company in four tanks ,two wolverines and a pair of cobra td and a Rhino you'll have a couple squads of marines with you and your squad… Brian you're in charge of that run anything over trying to get to the civies. Youll be inserted by combat deployment right in front of the enemy push." I spoke as I moved to hologram table.
"Aye sir they'll gain no more land without it being under a pile of bodies" the flame spartan moved over to the table typing away on the screen.
It pulled up where the civilians were green with a small blue line being pushed back by a large mass of red..
A Orange line appeared with pelicans flying down deploying the armor. Soon the orange line pushed up taking over the blue line as they halted the advancing army.
"Reaper and shadow you'll be dropped podding in with a squad of odst's. You all will secure the civilians Don't let any thing get near them so we can secure a way to move them to a new location for a forward operating base" each of the teams just nodded.
Soon three groups of orange deployed around the green in a triangle formation.
" I'll remain on t the Noble and Rotten Luck will punch a hole for the Jones to get through bombing runs will be authorized on only non civilian targets " I moved away from the table walking towards the large glass window.
"Patton bring us to full combat alert alpha have all units prepared to be deployed within an hour the main units needed for the first wave take priority i want them ready in less than half that.. Boys get to your squads prepare to deploy." the bridge became a swarm of moving as all the officers moved to their stations
I turned back to the window as two sabers passed by heading out for a patrol.
The enemy fleet had grown even though the noble now sported five more kills three republic and two of the others.
The republics ships now had a total of ten large cruisers with a few smaller patrol craft. The major problem with them was the swarm of fighters were sticking close like a angry wasps nest.
The others were beaten pretty bad and only had about four ships all pretty damaged. There fighters still swarmed around them but they weren't that much left.
"Sir we have a incoming hail what are your orders Sir?" the communications officer called out as he looked at me.
I turned around as I moved to my chair. With a grunt a let my augment aged body relax in the chair.
"Let it through main screen weapons put a shell in the mac just incase. " I didn't trust them at least not with how it went last time.
Within seconds the screen came to life as a man with orangeish goatee and wearing parts of armor. What little armor he did have on only covered his upper chest, shoulders ,and his arms the rest of him was covered similarly to that anakin was from what I could see. The rest of him was covered in a white robe he had one of those energy sword hilts attached to his left hip. He had and athletic build but not to muscular.
To his right and behind stood one of those troopers but his highlights were orange. he also had a visor on his helmet. his right shoulder had a few antennas poking thru it.
Why wouldn't anyone want bright shiny white armor and orange were they trying to say' here i am now shoot me'...
"Why hello my name is General Kenobi it has come to my attention you have a incident with a rear admiral tarkin that was not acting upon the orders of the republic's chancellor and i'm hoping we can find a peaceful way to settle this incident. " he spoke calmly but i saw the look in his eye he really didn't want to fight.
he seen war and didn't want anymore than what he already has to deal with.
now how to secure this olive branch...
"That is very kind of you general and if I may have a solution if your be so willing to lend a ear?" I looked for his reaction watching to try an get a good profile on this new player in this game of politics.
He moved his hand under his chin as he weighs his options. Standing there a moment silent thinking over the advantages and disadvantages of my ships help in what could lead to a bloody battle if we were to continue the fight.
" we'll it can't hurt to hear out your solution so if you would please." he said as he moved his hand facing up. Throwing the ball back into my court.
Standing I turned one of the computers onto my left on. Pulling up the intercepted transmission. Looking at him i hit the play button.
At first he seemed interested but as it played the man's face grew more grim as time went on.
"I'm willing to provide aid in both men and material.. I also have a plan for the ground combat… we could very easily incorporate your group of soldiers and tanks if you so wish it'll make sure their is less casualties for us and will also allow you to push the enemy back all I would need to do is to set up a fire base down so I can figure out where me and my men are. Is this acceptable? " i finished throwing the ball back into his court.
He stood their moment before he sighed.
" Unfortunately i can't allow you to put down any type of base under these conditions while your help would be greatley appreciated that only gets you out of hot water for destroying three republic venator class star destroyers … do you have any other cards to play?" I could feel my levels of annoyance rise at this game.
Turning around i motioned for one of the fireteam shadow to pull one of the young alien girl we had captured on the republic cruiser.
With a nod the spartan went off to fetch the prisoner.
They say you either die a hero or…
I looked back at general kenobi.
" Very well i planned on releasing them back to you once on the ground but you seemed to force my hand. Currently on my ship I have seven republic POWs and if you want there release then you must allow for the firebase to be deployed. If you do not accept these demands then not only will I forcibly deploy my fire base but i will also send your men back to you in a wooden box. It's your move make it a wise one. " The look of hidden anger showed in the man's eyes before he sighed and motioned for someone to go grab something for himself.
A few seconds passed before a trooper brought a cup of steaming black liquid in a cup to the general. The man took a sip before letting out a sigh.
Maybe we could get along it seems we both enjoy the mystical black liquid of power called coffee.
" alright you win but you'll have to give them back for the battle and they must not be harmed" he said as he raised his cup up in a toast.
I gave a nod before a tingling sensation ran up the back of my neck.
" SIR we have multiple contacts coming into the system all reading CIS ships sir there's thirty of them on the scopes . Were out numbered even if we count the republics help we'll be outnumbered by three to one what are your orders sir? " the weapons officer yield off as he turned and looked at me.
Thirty to eleven … eight of which were not my ships…
Just like old times…
" Alright bring us to reissue combat alert alpha and prepare for full combat and boarding actions.. To happen against us ...Have spartan team shadow guard the mac cannons of each ship two to each. Get all fighters and interceptors armed and ready to launch. Also let's do a in system jump to link with our new allies our mission to the ground is still a go so send word to the jones tell them this just got a lot harder. General im moving force to solidify our defense please give a heads up to your men and i would prepare them for a massive battle.."
The sounds of orderly chaos filled the bridge as the orders were being issued.
On the holographic screen i could see the republic General pale slightly.
We reading started to pop up everywhere on the screens around of the incoming threat.
" sir enemy fleet will about to come out of their mode of ftl right now ...by god there's a ship over 4800 meters sir incoming orders ? " the sensor operator called out in panic. Many around the room looked in fright
One ship almost four times my ship's length…
" Good a fight then" i slowly stood up marching to the glass as the enemy ships came out of their mode of transport..
Turning around I looked at my men.
"Charge the mac up full power were gonna shoot a hole clean through that ship just like the we do to any other ship we fought so far." my words filled the men with hope but to me it only raised more doubts.
Could we punch a hole through that ship?
Will it kill it?
While the noble had a mark nine mac cannon similar to the Infinity's the difference lied in its size difference and our power plant size difference Both the Infinity had were much bigger ones of the ones my ship had. Giving it more punch than ours.
In Front of my ship the usual purple black portal opened up. With a lurch my ship entered.
Within a few seconds we came flying out in the middle of the Republic's fleet.
" General Kenobi prepare for naval combat were in for the fight for our lives. " the General was giving commands to his troops as he looked back at the screen.
Turning around I moved over to the holographic table.
"Patton contact fire team hellfire and update them to what's happening" looking at the screen I move a few of the squadrons of fighters sending them new orders to move to the position i moved them
"They have already been notified sir" the AI spoke as he appeared on the table.
Fireteam hellfire aboard UNSC Jones in main combate hangar
Hellfire one Brian O'conner
" Alright people keep on moving the gear… Goalson get your tank ready make sure its plasma generator is working flawless we'll only have that and a handful of other vehicles so we better not lose it… Burke move the cobra to the third pelican." I yelled ran from the front of a pelican before jetting over a stack of crates. The large tank destroyer rolled to where i needed it. It soon was swarmed by naval personnel as the hooked it to the pelican. Slowly I made my way to the new scorpion variant.
They called it the Hannibal Scorpion it was based off the plasma rhino but was more compacted version that also was far more mobile than even a standard version and modified versions. The only thing was the grizzly had taken over as mbt and the scorpions were generally used as recon tanks or lighter work.
I looked at the metal beast. we had to repaint it. damn oni had painted non military colors l. It now was a standard olive drab while it did keep some blue on it to differentiate it from a normal one.
I personally don't trust it. I remember the plasma rhino and all the problems it had. overheating ,metaled barrel ,burnout , plasma overload, and the worst run away plasma core.
I walked up to the beast climbing aboard the silent beast. i could hear clicking and the rapid sound of fingers dancing along a keyboard.
looking into the operator's hatch i saw my second in command typing away on a keyboard that was hooked up to the scorpions computer.
"hows she looking will she be ready for the fight?" my voice spoke the spartan as he jumped slightly.
The Spartan was none other than Palmer "Phoros" Golsan. His Scout Helmet and Venator Armor was a nice and shiny silver with blue highlights.
" sir please dont spook me like that and yes sir she'll be ready just making last minute adjustments to the plasma generator." he took off the scout helmet as he pulled himself out of the tank.
he slowly walked up to the turret before pulling a panel off a panel and went to working on some of the wires.
"alright if that thing starts to go get out of it i've seen Rhinos go up before ok… don't need to see you go with it" i set my hand on the other man's shoulder giving it a small grip.
he just shrugged it off.
"don't worry you old fool i'll be good i'll even wager my tank gets more kills than your old rusty bucket grizzly" phoros said as he turned around. his voice dripped of confidence
oh it was on.
"ok new blood... my Grizzly vs your tank hope you can keep up" My challenge was met by silence as the new blood thought it out for a bit.
He looked at his tank for a moment before turning back to face me and with a nod he accepted.
Oh he didn't realize how big of a mistake he made.
While most standard grizzlies come with dual 120mm m310 smooth bore high velocity cannons a m247t medium mg and smoke grenades.
Mine had a few extras.
Like a 25mm autocannon coaxial on the far right, on the far left side was the spartan laser , another separate m247t med mg ,and finally a missile launching system. All mounted in the main turret.
It wasn't just the weapons that got overhauled ethier.
I had put almost another half of armor on the front plate while also up armoring the tracks. The heaviest upgrade was to the turret. I had thicken it to the point where it was double the already massive amount of armor in the location . Ive bounced other scorpions ,grizzlies even a direct strike from a cobra's in hual down mode.
The Gunner still said I cheated some how.
But the biggest defense upgrade was the deployable frontal shield. While it only lasted for a few seconds it's always a surprise to the enemy.
The amount of upgrades i had done was to the point where it was called the Dire Bear because it was a bit bigger than most standard factory Grizzlies. It was also only deployed for special heavy ops.
Moving off the Hannibal Scorpion I started for my metal beast. It was up against the far wall with a tarp over it.
With a yank of the tarp the muzzles of the beast was revealed. The Dire Bear was a nice olive drab with black accents every so often to help break up the look at long range. On the side of the turret had hellfires embleme.
The emblem was of a skull which was a smokey black. Fire coming out of the corners of its mouth. Above the skull was 'hell' and below was 'fire' both engraved demonically into the heavy armor of the tank.
Climbing up the front of the beast causing heavy clangs as my boots thumped against the armor. Coming to the hatch with which opened with a slight hiss revealing the heart of the beast to me.
Slowly I entered the beast the seat creaking as it took up the weight of my armor and myself.
The machine started to whir to life as a flick of just a few switches.
With a roar the engine kicked on. Lights thru out the tank lit up as all the sensors blinked on.
"So it seems i'm needed again huh brian… so what's the op boss" a female voice filled the cabinet as the projector glowed a bright red.
Looking over to the AI I felt a bit bad as i looked to the female AI. who was still not forming her human hologram preferring to stay in her swirling datasphere.
" listen I know I said I would not activate you again because of what i did without a good reason and I do… we running interference for a civilian rescue op… we're fighting unknowns and i need my best out there and well you're my best AI for this … so please Isabel will you help me" I looked to the glowing red ball that honestly had a major dislike for me.
The data speed up as it started to swirl and twist into the familiar AI. She formed feet first as her work boots formed followed by her dungarees and finally what would be a white t shirt with a jacket over top the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. A familiar set of dog tags fell from her neck as the materialized into existence. Finally her head took shape a frown on her face as the rest of her face formed. When it was finally done she stood there glaring at me.
Her hair was a bit longer than the last time I saw her two years ago. Now it sat in a ponytail behind her head.
With a sigh she pinched the bridge of her nose.
" i'm gonna ask you this once again… will you abandon me again ? because if you are then turn me off. " she looked at me hurt filled eyes looking at me.
It's crazy how much more human she is then me…
"You know i didn't want to and i did come back for you" i started slowly reaching for her. My palm lying flat up for her.
She looked up at me a trying to keep the glare up.
" IF I need to leave this tank then I'M bringing you with me… now will you help me i'm gonna need someone to help man this tank and there's only one AI I trust and i'm looking at her ." my let reassuring seemed to work as she smiled at me.
With a sigh she reached out her arm placing her hand onto mine.
"Alright you better keep that promise or i'll fire everything the nobles got at you… now link up i want to see what's changed in that mind of yours." she smiled genuinely as she took a seat on the projector her legs crossed. Waiting for me to continue.
With a sigh i pulled my helmet off before pulling the a AI block holder out the back of my neck.
With a deep breath i placed my helmet back on as something connected to the back.
Right where the AI port was…
A feeling of liquid nitrogen washed thru my system freezing me to my core before a feeling of warm familiarity filled a space in the back of my head.
"Well look at that everything the same as I left it … it's good to be back " The Ai spoke thru the link I now shared with the armor allowing me to control it by myself with a little help.
I grunted as the vehicle started to move forward towards the pelican that had been modified to lift my tank.
A set of beeps filled the cabin signaling a call was coming in.
"This the unsc hailing spartan fireteam hellfire the enemy has received additional reinforcements the mission just got more dangerous the now have a ship over four times the noble we are also outnumbered Three to one … if you want to cancel the land engagement then it's understable…" the comms officer spoke as i could hear the mess on the bridge of orders flying from the captain and other yelling off information.
I looked at Isabel she seemed to grow a bit sad as she looked at me before she looked away from me. Seemingly to give up.
" no we're going on with the plan" my voice made the AI jump back up in surprise.
"Alright hellfire one mission is go.. Godspeed…. and good luck" the operation officer said as the line was cut.
I looked to my partner as she seemed to sigh with relief as the line broke.
" Still the same old knuckle headed Marine I meet back on the Ark all those years ago hmm O'connor" the red AI said as she smirked playing with some data tossing it between her hands.
The Ark
Time 2560 april tenth 20:00
Sgt Brian O'conner 58th heavy armor core
Mission terminate all Enemies secure red team's position.
Status critically all vehicles disabled or destroyed induries non critical yet
Smoke thats all i could smell…
"COME ON MEN"
Blood everywhere...
"HAHA little demons run like you've always had!"
Must move … in danger...
Everything was dark … my tank was hit… it hadn't blown up…
"I'll show you little demon you glorified rug !"
Pushing the hatch above me it gave a groan as it fell away and to the side out of sight.
What meet my gaze was a area filled with fire and smoke. The ground was scorched black and the smell of plasma and burn flesh filled the air. Grabbing my rifle i rolled down the side of the tank.
"AGH" clank
"ALICE ok asshole you're dead!"
"Douglas calm down! "
I rolled to my feet as I stumbled the way the noise came from.
"Uff urgh looks like... you've gotten stronger lil demon but not strong enough"
Clang.. Clank..
Dropping something big flew over me.
Another man in armor..
Spartan…
Rushing to the down soldier i pulled at his helmet shaking it to get the soldier up..
He pushed me away as he stood moving back to the fight..
He stopped.
"Hang on captain you may want to see this I just found a marine and he isn't one of ours " the spartan said as he marched up to me.
I try to crawl away from the men in armor as he grabbed me by the scruff of my gear..
Before he could ask me anything another spartan this one with a red stripe on his helmet came flying from the smoke and hit me from the others grip as he went flying with his friend.
"Hahahah see demons i told you… you can't beat me you can't kill me but i can beat you.. I can kill you… and I will"
A massive thing of metal and fur came from the smoke.
It was a brute covered in heavy armor.. His belt had the chest plate of a odst. Blood still on its surface.
He marched by me not noticing me or my rifle…
Both the spartans stood back up each moving to a different side of the large ape.
Both circled the massive ape a mexican standoff of sorts…
Both the spartans lunged. The red one went low as the other went high..
It didn't work.
Each of the super soldiers stopped as the hit the beast… like they hit a titanium wall in a frigate.
The brute in return picked both of them up by their throats above his head.
Wham
He slammed them together groans came from the soldiers.
Wham …. Wham …. Wham…
"Haha die lil demons …. DIE"
I raised my rifle my vision blurring as blackness started to fill my vision..
The crack of lightning boomed as the rail gun rocketed its slug at the brute.
The slug hit tearing though both armor and flesh bone and blood splashing every where as the beast's right arm at the elbow exploded dropping the red striped spartan.
After that my vision became black .. as dark crimson blood leaked from my chest.
…
…
...
Everything felt soft…
A cool steady breeze ran along my skin as something lightly beeped off to my right.
Opening one eye I looked over the room i was in..
It was very small four grey walls that were metal. To my right lied a life support machine of some sorts.
To the right a pedestal sat. with a chair that looked like it was built for a elephant .
I raised both my arms so i could see them…
Each was covered in a white tightly wrapped gauze…
Where am I
where's everyone
What happened
Beep... beep beep
The memories started to come back.
The landing...
Our battle...
Getting over ran..
The bombs and shells exploding
The spartans the ape.
Everyone i knew was dead… gone
Thats when the pain hit..
My chest became alit with fire. The center of my chest felt like someone stabbed me with a red hot glowing knife or a energy sword.
Beep… beep …. Beep..beep. Beep … beep beep beeep beeeep.. beeee-
The machine started to beep erratically as it grew louder and louder..
Form the pedestal came a red light before a woman who glowed red formed things started to appear from the ceiling and all around me.
"Don't worry marine i've got your safe now please… calm down" the woman spoke as she enlarged to a normal person size as she stood next to my bed.. She leaned over running her hand over my face.
I closed my eyes as the darkness pull at me. With a grunt i resisted.
Beep beep beeep … beep beep … beep … beep …. Beep beep … beep … beep...beep
I peeked a look out the woman had a face both of relief and silent worry.
She wasn't a actual person like me.
She was a AI it was easy to tell that do to being able to see through her and how she was glowing red.
" well you gave me quite the scare marine my name is Isabell what's yours?" she spoke a small smile broke across her face in both relief.
" my name is Sgt Brian O'conner ma'am" i spoke
After the last part of my name came from my mouth darkness filled my vision.
"Thats a good name sgt now get some rest the captain will speak with you later" she said as sleep took me.
