CHR 1

"All I need to is did we lose them" Keyes asked the foot high hologram.

"I think we both know the answer to that," the hologram said back

The foot high hologram name is Cortana, the ships A.I.

Keyes is the caption of the Pillar of Autumn

"We made a bland jump" Keyes " How did they-"

"Get here first" Cortana ended " the Covenant ships were always faster and tracking us from Reach, my opinions were limited" Keyes walked over to the display bored. " Until we slowed down, no one could have miss the hole we tore in Z-space" Cortana said. "They were waiting for us on the far side of the planet" "How big is the fleet?" Keyes asked knowing what the answer will be. " The fighters are mopping up the last of they're recon group, noting serous but the signal for they fleet makes it four capital ships per group" Keyes looked down. "And in 90 seconds they will be all over us" Cortana continued. "That's it! Bring the ship back on combat alert alpha! I want every one at they post." Keyes yelled. A red light started flashing. "Everyone Sir?" the A.I. said "Everyone, oh give our friends the warm welcome" Keyes said. "I have already begun" the A.I. said.

Deep in the ship, the marines assembled at the repair for the Warthog. Then the serge appeared. He walked in the milled of them "I don't know what this thing is, a giant hula hoop, or god's anti-son of a bich machine. But one thing is sure, we will give the Covenant a belly full of lead and a pool of they own blood to drown in." the serge turned around and said "am I right marines!" "Sir! Yes sir!" was the call. "Damn right I am! Now move it out, double time!" the marines when out single file. Then the serge yell to the andalites on the next level and every one else "for all you greenhorns who wanted to see Covenant up close, this is going to be your lucky day!'
