December 6, 2554 02:00 hours (Military Calendar) Aboard Longsword Z-618 UNSC Naval Yard Reach
Lieutenant Sakamoto swung her Longsword around so she could make another pass through the debris field around Reach before she headed back to the new UNSC flagship Morning Sun.
Her task, along with forty other Longswords, was to search the debris field, which consisted of UNSC and Covenant ships, around Reach for any salvageable ship parts. A secondary mission was to rescue any survivors that might have lasted two years in space, which was highly unlikely. The planet Reach had been glassed over after the now legendary escape of a SPARTAN soldier named "Master Chief."
The Covenant still knew the location of Earth, now it was only a matter of time before the end of the war. After the first attack on Earth, the Covenant had struck true fear into every human's soul. Now ONI could no longer instill into the hearts of civilian's that there was a huge amount of hope left for the human race. When the Covenant was driven away from Earth everyone had finally seen through ONI's lies and saw how close the human race was extinction.
Sakamoto asked for landing clearance as she exited the debris field, before she started the landing procedures her speakers came to life and a transmission started. "(Static) naval yard Reach (static) UED (static) Nigira on Mangius IV (static) under heavy (static) Protoss (static) immediate assistance (static) repeat (blood curdling scream.)" The transmission cut off.
As soon as she landed she had contacted the bridge to see if they had also gotten the strange transmission. The answers she received were orders to go to the Cryo-Bay, for the Morning Sun was getting ready to go into slipspace and would be there in two days. She needed some rest after scavenging the debris field for 18 hours, even though she hated Cryo-sleep. She did as ordered and started to head for the Bay.

Admiral Wesley was on the bridge of the UNSC flagship Morning Sun when the transmission from Mangius IV was relayed to the bridge speakers. He ordered that the rest of the UNSC ships to relay the message to Earth and continue with their current mission. He ordered the Morning Sun to get ready for a jump in to slipspace. The AI calculated the coordinates for the jump and started the process for slipspace.
Wesley had seen Protoss in action when he was an enlisted soldier and that is why he decided to join the UNSC instead of staying with the UED. Despite how his personal feelings about not wanting to go, he had to help his fellow human no matter who the enemy was.
As soon as the jump had started he made his way towards Bridge Cryo- Bay 2, which was guarded by Marines armed to the teeth. The UNSC could no longer afford the loss of great brass such as Wesley. There were few Admirals that were just as decorated as him, but the one that stood out among them all was the late Admiral Whitcomb. When he heard of Whitcomb's death his emotions nearly snapped. He and Whitcomb served together and NCOs and were nearly considered brothers on how close their friendship was. If there was anything he would do is to get revenge for his friend, but he would not allow this feeling to blind his decisions.
The guards snapped a brisk salute to the Admiral as he passed. The Cryo-Bay technicians asked the Wesley to drink the fluid required for Cryo- sleep as soon as he walked in. He hated the stuff along with everyone else, but he downed it like a shot of whisky to get it over with. He laid down in the Cryo-tube when he was ready the tech's closed the hatch and he was sent into the world of dreams. Or in this case nightmares, as Wesley dreamt of his encounters he had with the Protoss.

"Sir, we've intercepted a transmission going to the fallen planet Reach." The commander turned around and boasted an order to one of his peons "You, get me whoever replaced Captain Keyes position." The man flicked on a terminal and brought up a message screen. "Sir, His jurisdiction has been temporarily taken by Master Chief, one of our only remaining Spartan soldiers.
The commander cued a signal on his screen. {Signal Mensk, Arcturus.} {Sending, please wait.} His screen changed and a face appeared. "Ahh, good day commander." The man said. He had a grey beard and looked about 45 or 46. "Arcturus, how's it going comrade?" The so-called "comrade" was wearing a uniform that resembled that of a Nazi general. The only thing different was the symbol was a hand and whip and it said United Korhal allied force.
He was now the emperor of all that was Terran. He overthrew the U.E.D jurisdiction but let it survive for his personal needs. He also whipped the Confed resistance that once governed a democracy over the Terrans. It was once called the Terran Dominion.
"So, what have you called me for?" said the emperor. "I need you to help me on Mangius IV. It is under attack." He agreed to ally with the UNSC forces.

Adam looked over the battle field as Covenant forces and Terran forces traded fire. He was surprised that he wasn't found for the two days he was up where he was waiting for back up.
The first of the new creatures that Adam decided to kill was the gold armored one that seemed to be the leader. He thought at first he missed when he shot it because the alien didn't go down. In stead what seemed to be a shield shimmered over the alien's body. Not willing to give up Adam emptied what remained of his clip. Three shots sailed towards the gold plated creature. Two of the shots impacted the shield and it failed. The third shell flew directly into the alien's skull splattering brains and blood through the exit wound.
He moved to reload his weapon, he had wasted an entire clip at one of the enemy tanks, and this made him upset because he was running out of ammo. When he put a fresh magazine into the sniper his com. channel snapped to life and a female voice said, "This is UNSC dropship B-965. Does any UED force hear me? please respond!"
Adam cried with joy and responded, "B-965 this is UED Ghost Adam Jenkins, glad you could make it to the party, and could you offer us any assistance."
A minute passed by before the pilot of the dropship responded. "Of course I can, you know the Marine motto, 'We deliver'." She chuckled and continued, "I've two capital ships from the UNSC and the UED in orbit taking care of the Covenant ships in orbit. And fifty UNSC dropships with twenty Marines each coming your way."
