Chapter 11- Arrival
The Chief, leaving Cortana behind got to the Forerunner ship just as it launched was inside when it came out of slipspace near earth. The Federation, Klingons and the Home fleet were engaged heavily with Truth's ships near the moon, some of which were slipping by into the atmosphere. On Cairo station the crewman at the sensor station yelled "We got a new contact! Unknown classification."
Lord Hood responded "If it isn't one of ours, take it out."
The Chief opened a comm. channel "This is SPARTAN-117 can anyone hear me? Over"
Lord Hood was surprised and said "Isolate that signal. Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?"
To which the Chief responded "Sir. Finishing this fight."
Suddenly the voice of the commander of the Federation fleet came over "Lord Hood this is Captain Picard, the Covenant fleet just jumped into slipspace. We don't know where they went."
"Sir, the Covenant fleet came out of slipspace near the ruins of New Mombassa" said a sensor officer.
"Captain don't worry we found them. Are your ships capable of planetary entry?" asked Lord Hood.
"Some are, yes and I have numerous shuttle-craft equipped with weapons as well" replied Picard.
"Good we'll need all the help we can get. Can you lock onto the Chief's signal and beam him off that ship?"
"Yes. Standby"
The Spartan materialized on the transporter pad. He then walked to the bridge where Picard was waiting. "Sir, thank you for the extraction but I need to go after Truth."
"Very well we'll beam you down to a location near where the ship landed" said Picard.
