Chapter 4
Eleventh Cycle, 114 Units (Covenant Battle Calendar)\
Aboard Covenant Dropship, near Central African Republic
"Sir, the Jiralhanae Cruiser is nearby." Said the pilot. "Excellent work." Said the leader of the Operation, Special Operation Officer Erbr' Rawotee.
He continued: "Warriors remember our objective: rescue the councilors, and destroy this Jiralhanae stronghold for the glory of the New Covenant!"
His underlings roared with approval. "Was this mission given to me to keep me out of politics? So be it, my voice will be heard one way or another." Thought Rawotee.
He checked himself to make sure he still has his weapons: three plasma grenades, one Plasma Blade, and a Carbine. He took slammed a fresh magazine into his weapon.
"One way or another, you will all regret ever deceiving us." Thought Rawotee.
Marines and one-fourth of the C Company Spartans were traveling in Vehicles with the C Company Phoenix Infiltration Squad, also known as Team Phoenix.
Walter checked his orders again: With assistance from the Griffin Assault Team and the Marines under their command, Team Phoenix must infiltrate the starship, and disable it. The UNSC ships in space are too busy fighting the functioning covenant ships.
The weapons stored inside the buildings occupied by the Brutes worried Command. "So, the Brutes are taking an interest in using our technology against us? Why are they interested now?" Asked a marine under the command of the Team Griffin.
Walter read the novels and remembers information about the Brutes from the Internet and the games. He responded "The Brutes do not believe that it is dishonorable to use enemy weapons, unlike the other members of the Covenant. If it works, they use it."
Achilles took notice of what Walter said. "How much of this war do you know?" He asked.
"I better not tell more than what is needed, the last thing I need for the UNSC and ONI to know is that I am aware of the classified information revealed in the Halo novels. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut." Thought Walter.
After thinking of a response for four additional seconds, he replied "I know enough to become reliable."
Achilles replied "As long as you do not break down over a life spent, then you are reliable."
Walter was reminded of the people that died in the Bronx. "I will break down, somewhere out of sight when my mission is done." He thought to himself. "For the lives of those people that died. The last thing I wish to be is a weapon of a government I do not understand. I do not want to be a weapon; I will remain human, no matter what I am told to do."
Walter saw two red lasers point towards a group of Covenant vehicles far from his location. Three seconds later, many vehicles were destroyed.
Several Spartans from Team Griffin, sitting at the passenger seat of their warthogs had a Rocket Launcher in their hands, fewer than four Spartans held a Model 6 Grindell/Galileian Nonlinear Rifle, which was known as the "Spartan Laser."
The assault on the stronghold has begun. Walter maneuvered his Mongoose ATV a bit behind the Griffin Team. He had orders to avoid engagements unless it was a threat to his team.
Walter yelled "Drones, up ahead!" When he spotted a swarm of the insect-like alien flew towards the direction of his team.
"If you are riding brokeback, now is the best time to take out your side arms." Ordered Achilles.
They obeyed and took it out. Some had an M6 pistol; some had an Sub Machine gun with a mounted silencer.
Walter has never seen such a large swarm.
Some of the Griffin Spartans fired their missile launchers at the swarm, but the swarm was clever enough keep moving and not get bunched up.
Before Walter realized what was about to happen, three drones boarded his ATV and two smacking Walter, trying to knock him out of the vehicle.
Walter cursed in frustration as he tried not to lose control of the vehicle.
Suddenly, the Drones fell off. "What?" Thought Walter, but later realized that the person riding brokeback on the same vehicle shot them.
The Drones surrounded the Spartan army, but were quickly killed off by the machine gun turrets on the back of some warthogs, Sub Machine Guns and pistols.
Walter did not bother looking back, because he knew that the bigger threats were on his sights:
Wraiths and Banshees.
Team Griffin quickly destroyed them, after having some casualties thanks to the Plasma Mortars.
Walter's COM crackled "I'm out." "Me too" replied another voice. Their ammunition was very low and the non-removable battery for the Spartan Laser needed to be recharged for the weapon to become effective again.
Over one section of the former Republic, the Battlecruiser hovered over the buildings, with a beam similar to the one found descending from the Truth and Reconciliation.
Covenant Turrets and Jackal Snipers pointed towards the Spartan's direction.
Walter exited his vehicle. They will have to fight their way inside, and Walter was waiting for the order: to sneak in, or to help Griffin secure the area first.
"I would rather sneak in." thought Walter
"Phoenix, join the carnage. Activate your camouflage and destroy them inside out" Ordered Achilles.
"I guess we won't be sneaking in." thought Walter.
