Planet Reach

Slick Goku: my name is Slick Goku has been recruited by the unsc...

Both Falcons land in the camp, and the Warthog pulls to a stop. Slick Goku gets out of the Warthog, and moves toward a building.

Slick Goku: these people have their own slick ways of doing things...

Col. Urban HollandCOM: "Contact with Visegrad Relay was lost last night. All signals flatlined at twenty-six hundred hours."

Jun-A266, sitting outside a Falcon's passenger cabin, watches as Noble Six passes by, while placing rounds into a sniper rifle magazine.

HollandCOM: "I responded with trooper fire teams, which have since been declared MIA."

Carter-A259 is shown from behind, watching a holographic computer screen displaying Holland's portrait and other information.

Carter-A259: "And now you're sending us."

HollandCOM: "The Office of Naval Intelligence believes deployment of a Spartan team is a gross misallocation of valuable resources. I disagree."

Slick Goku reaches the door, and stares at Emile-A239 sharpening his kukri against his shoulder pauldron, and attempts to enter, before being stopped by Catherine-B320.

Catherine-B320: "Commander."

Carter and Jorge-052 turn to look at Noble Six/Slick Goku.

Jorge: "So that's our new number six."

Slick Goku steps forward.

Slick Goku reply to them: actually I ever name my name is Slick Goku nice to meet you all!

Emile-A239: "Kat, you read his/her file?"

Slick Goku to Email: man what the fuck is wrong with you! I'm a guy not a girl!

Email reply to Slick Goku: alright, alright, just take it easy I was just kidding..

Catherine-B320: "Only the parts that weren't covered in black ink."

Carter turns back to the screen.

Carter-A259: "Anyone claim responsibility, sir?"

HollandCOM: "ONI thinks it might be the local insurrection. Five months ago, they pulled a similar job on Harmony. Hit a relay to take out our eyes and ears, then stole two freighters from dry-dock. That cannot happen here. Reach is too damn important. I want that relay back online, Noble One."

Carter-A259: "Sir. Consider it done."

Holland: "Then I'll see you on the other side. Holland out."

Jorge and Emile stand up. Carter grabs his helmet from the table and turns to face Slick Goku.

Carter-A259: "Lieutenant."

Slick Goku: Commander. Sir.

Carter-A259: "I'm Carter, Noble Team's leader. That's Kat, Noble Two, Emile and Jorge, Four and Five. You're riding with me, Noble Six."

Slick Goku: actually my name is Slick Goku not noble 6 as you prefer it...

Cuts to the Spartans exiting the building, with Noble Six next to Carter, with Kat, Emile (who sheathes his knife), and Jorge walking side by side in front of them, towards the Falcon.

Carter-A259: "I'm not gonna lie to you, Lieutenant. You're stepping into some shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled."

The Spartans reach the Falcon, with the other three moving to one off screen, and Slick Goku and Carter getting into the one where Jun is already waiting.

Carter-A259: "Me, I'm just happy to have Noble back up to full strength. Just one thing. I've seen your file. Even the parts the ONI censors didn't want me to. I'm glad to have your skill set, but we're a team. That lone wolf stuff stays behind. Clear?"

Slick Goku to Carter: boy.. this ain't my first rodeo, I always been a lone wolf for many years..

Carter to Slick Goku: don't get cocky too much..

Carter signals for the other Falcon to get airborne.

Slick Goku: "Got it, sir."

Jun-A266: "Welcome to Reach."

The Falcons take off and start moving toward a mountain range in the distance.

To Be Continued..
