Hi everyone. I promised to update sooner but I was caught with a Stomach virus this whole week. Anyways....here's Chap 2.

Chapter 2 "The Flamingo"

"Let's see here...who's coming on the mission.." Sergeant Johnson was looking over the mission briefing on his Datapad. It described the mission, what type of vehicles would be available, weapons, and which selected Marines where coming.

"Ok..Tagle, Benford, Sanders, Harbor, Delton...wait." The Sergeant revised the list..."Great.." he said softly.

"Whether you like it or not...I'm coming too." said Cortana. Master Chief was in his quarters packing up. He put his 2 SMGs, Pistols, and some grenades into a bag. "Your guardian angel will be helping you."Cortana said sarcastically to Master Chief.

"What would I do without you?" Said Master Chief. He then inserted Cortana into his helmet from his own custom Hologram interpreter installed after the war. He left his quarters and headed for the hanger.....

"Listen up!!" Johnson was briefing the Marines in the Hanger, "We're going to the coldest, most shivery place on Earth, the South Pole! Bring the warmest heat receptors for your armor, because I don't want to hear any complaining! Understand?"

"Sir yes sir!" The Marines shouted.

This was the sight Master Chief saw as he walked in the Hanger. Johnson and the Marines where packing into a medium-classed vessel. It was a thin ship that could hold up to 35 people. The wings were small and were tipped to the edge like a jet. The ship was mainly designed to get to places faster than a Pelican. The entrance to the ship similar to the Pelican, through the back. Master Chief entered the ship.

"Chief! Good to see you! You know the ship that I was designing that I told you about?" Johnson asked.

"What about it?" Chief answered.

"This is it! The Flamingo! Pretty slick isn't it?" Johnson retorted

"I liked the Pelican better." Master Chief answered.

With that, the back entrance closed from the bottom to where the door was. The Flamingo started it's engines, floated up, and jetted off into space.
