The Chief walked to the familiar corridors of the human base toward John Connors office. As he walked he noticed the soldiers had changed. They had look of hope on their face. A look as if they might just make it.
The Chiefs armor had to be repaired again, but was still in working condition. Doctor Voshniv enjoyed studying the structure and properties of the armor. He Chief walked up to two doors. The guards greeted him and the door opened with a hiss and clump. John Conner stood at the other side of the table staring at some maps and papers. The Master Chief walked up to him.
"Master Chief, good to see you. Ever since that brilliant display on the battlefield morale's have gone high and I believe we are ready for our new operation."
"Explain."
"We have determined when the machines will strike again and we are prepared to take them fight to them."
"How?"
"Operation Scatter and Strike. When the machines advance their troops forward we will give them a battle they could never expect. Through the chaos we, that is you, Reese, a few soldiers and I will make our way around the battlefield to Skynet's main base, which would have troops spread thin because of the attack."
John pointed at a map of the inside of the Skynet base.
"We will enter through the front hanger of the base. It is imperative that we enter with stealth because behind thirty feet of concrete, lead and steal there are thousands upon thousands of T-800's, Hunter Killers, and tanks. Once inside we will work our way down to about four hundred feet below ground were Skynet's CPU is located. Once again stealth must be practiced because we do not know how well the place is guarded. We will then plant fifty pounds of explosives and destroy Skynet. After that all the machines will stop receiving orders and shutdown. After that we will enter the time displacement lab and you can go back home."
"Understood"
"Chief, this operation has to go without a hitch. Can you handle it?"
"I have been trained to handle difficult missions."
"Good"
Your armor should be ready in an hour. Get some rest and meet in the lab.
The Chief left the room and walked over to the barracks. However he did not rest. Instead he contemplated every sing battle tactic and maneuver that could be used to accomplish this mission, any possible snags and if need be evacuation.
