The Briefing
There was a rumble as the Pelican dropped into Earth's atmosphere.
"So are you ready to see Earth in all its glory?" the Captain asked the Master Chief.
" Yes I am." the Chief replied. "So am I. I haven't seen Earth in a long time. 20 years to be exact." the Captain answered.
The Pelican landed onto a sky scraper. The Chief jumped out and was awestricken by what he saw. It was a huge city, it had to of covered a 100 mile radius. There were sky scrapers all over the place. The Chief walked over to the side of the building and looked down. What he saw was amazing they had to be 150 stories up. The streets were packed with cars and buses. The Chief didn't have time to admire the sights.
"Master Chief please follow me." the Captain said. The Chief walked behind the Captain. They hopped into a elevator. The Captain punched the button for floor 102. They rode down for about 50 seconds. When the stopped they walked into a waiting room.
"May I help you sir?" the woman asked who was sitting behind the desk. " Yes, I need to talk to Admiral Wallace." the Captain said. "Oh yes he is excepting you."
The Captain and the Chief walked through big oak doors which were right next to the desk.
"Welcome, Captain." A man said who was about the same height as the Captain. He looked like he was in his 50's. The Chief saw his rank and instinctively saluted, he was a Admiral.
"Hi Master Chief. I'm Admiral Wallace." the man said. "Nice to meet you sir." the Chief replied.
"Okay lets get down to business." the Admiral said. "As the Captain already told you we are going to try to take back Reach." he said. "So to do that we are going to have to win in space and on the ground. Winning in space is going to be the tough part. Our recon group which was sent to Reach to see what was left was startled because Reach was not glassed. Only the major population areas were glassed. The recon group also received a distress signal from a underground strong hold. Now this part might surprise you Master Chief. The signal was sent by a group of Spartans!" the Admiral said. "A group of Spartans!!!!!!" the Chief cried amazed. "But Captain Keys said they lost radio contact. "But he never said they were dead now did he." the Admiral replied. "No, but I just assumed that they were dead." said the Chief still amazed. "But you were wrong!" the Admiral said in strong tone. "Anyway you mentioned Captain Keys. How is he doing." the Admiral asked. "He's dead sir" the Chief said quietly. "Covenant got him I see." said the Admiral. "No sir the Flood got him." the Chief said even more quietly. "Who are the Flood." the Admiral asked interested. "They are a virus. Which kills and possesses its victims. It's a very horrible virus." the Chief answered. "Oh I see. Anyway back to Reach. We are planning to start the invasion in about 2 weeks. And hopefully have conquered Reach a week later. You will be filled in on the details later." the Admiral finished his speech. "Master Chief some will show you to your room momentarily. Would you please leave the room." he said. " Yes, sir!' the Chief said saluting.
The woman they had met at the desk came and got the Master Chief and took him to his room on the 142 floor.
"Hear you are sir." she said. The Chief opened the door and has surprised to find his room so big. It had a kitchen, sitting area, and bedroom. The Chief went straight to the bedroom and laid down on the bed and went to sleep.
