AUTHOR: Master Templar Location: After the ring world of Halo was destroyed
"Cortana just where the hell are we headed." growled the Master Chief his voice eerily modified by his armor.
"How should I know" snapped Cortana "this is just a longbow fighter class ship it's not capable of jumping all the way back to earth and our sensors were damaged by the EMP released by Halo when it blew so we have no way of knowing where we are or contacting a pick up"
"Great, out of the frying pan and into the abyss, well at least there aren't any Covenant out here," the chief muttered as he made his way to the cargo hold.
"And just where are you going" Cortana called after him.
"I'm going down below to see just how much weaponry this tub has." The chief responded.
"Alright, I'll keep the short range scanners that are still intact up, but I don't have much hope," Cortana said as she operated the last sensor to scan the immediate area. It was a lightweight sensor that wasn't powered up when the EMP destroyed all other operating systems on the ship. As she was doing this she also noted how low on fuel they were, if they were going anywhere it better be close or they wouldn't make it.
"Not bad!" thought the chief as he opened the weapons locker, "this must have been one of the boarding craft." There was enough ammo and weaponry in this ship for an entire platoon of marines, maybe two if they conserved ammo. "Well at least if the Covenant decide to board our little ship I'll be able to hold them off" the chief thought grimly as he loaded up a MA5B Assault rifle with the standard armor piercing rounds. He decided that he would leave the rocket launcher unloaded for safety purposes.
"Well at least we have a few guns down below" the chief said as he climbed out of the hold.
"Chief I think I have something!!!" Cortana yelled "It's..oh no.. it's the Dreadnaught eclipse and it's under some serious fire from two Covenant carriers. If we don't do something the eclipse won't make it!"
"Cortana," the chief said calmly. "Set a direct course for the closest carrier's hanger entrance. Looks like those guns may come in handy after all."
