Location-Cutis LeMay Base, Rocky Mountains
First Lieutenant Steven Anderson sat behind his dark wooden mahogany desk. He stared at the letter sitting in front of him. He received his orders only minutes ago for him to take his Special Operation squad from the UNMC Fourth Infantry Division. His squad was commonly known for helping infiltrate a Covenant battle cruiser that was in orbit above Earth. Now that things had gone from bad to worse with the Master Chief gone, he had to take his squad and take back a small intelligence facility. At the time the secret Military base he was in, Curtis LeMay base, was located under the Rockies.
He got up and walked out of his office and turned to his left. He entered the elevator in front of him and pressed a square button marked with the number two. He waited a few minutes until the elevator came to a stop. He walked out and down the hall until he reached a set of barracks. He walked in and saw three men playing cards in the middle of the room. The one that was facing towards the doors looked up and saw Anderson standing there. "Ten hut!" announced the man. The other men stood up and saluted with the first one.
"At ease." Ordered Anderson, as he walked into the room farther. The three men sat back down and looked up at Anderson.
"So what's the news Lieutenant? Have the Covenant broken the line?" Asked the squad medic, Tom Walker.
"No, they haven't broken the line. But they have taken an Intel facility and it's our job to take it back. So get ready we leave tomorrow at oh five hundred." He turned around and walked out. He went back to his office and sat back down at his desk, flipping through random papers.
Fleet Commander Zagamaye Xofuree stood in the control center of his Covenant Destroyer the Death to Come. He stared at a light panel displaying the recordings of the siege of Earth in the first wave. They had come unprepared and ill supplied with little to no intelligence on the humans' defenses. As soon as they entered fire range, the ship next to his was gutted from fore to aft by a huge slug of some sorts. Zagamaye shut off the recording and looked around his control center. Three other Elites were in the same area as he was and were monitoring the ships main statuses.
Another Elite walked up behind him. He wore a white plated suit of armor and bore the symbol of one of the top most special units that were under his command. Around his ship, even more, his Fleet, they were known as the Undying Warriors. "Sir, over two days ago we took over a human intelligence facility." He began with the deep voice most Elites acquired. "We found records of Military bases all around Earth. Also it indulges us with knowledge of weapons testing, new ships, and even the Demon." He finished, emphasizing the last two words.
"The Demon you say? What does it tell us about the Demon?" Zagamaye asked, intrigued by what could come out of this.
"It says that he has just been fitted with a new armor type designated the Mjolnir Mark Six. As well, it tells us that he has left the planet." Zagamaye stared wide eyed at the Captain Onne Negutee.
"Captain, what human resistance is closest to your forces?" Asked Zagamaye hurriedly. Negutee walked over to a panel and bought up a map of the region his forces were closet too.
"Here." Negutee pointed to a desolate area right in the middle of France. "The base is called Stronghold Eisenhower. What is your orders sir?" Asked Negutee.
"We must catch the humans in a chokehold." Zagamaye announced clenching his fist. "Once we have cut of the humans in the surrounding areas, your team will infiltrate this base and you will capture anything of use." Negutee bowed his head and looked up with questioning eyes.
"But what makes you think that this base will be more important than the others sir?" He asked.
"Look at the position it is in. Eighty five feet under the surface. That's what makes me think they are hiding something there. Begin the attack Captain." Negutee bowed his head again and turned to walk out. Zagamaye turned back to the map and stared intently at it. "What are you hiding there Humans? What do you not want us to find that's so important?" Murmured
