As the cold air swept down onto the streets of New Alexandria, as the tall buildings loomed tall over the entire city, as the sun died and the moon rose, we waited. We were a gang, the First Archimedes Selective Establishment, a criminal underworld that looked over the newly found city. Ever since the UNSC started colonising the planet and built the city, we have been there.
'Lieutenant, should we make our way back to the tower, the next shipment of UNSC equipment should have arrived.' said the Corporal. The Corporal was rather tall and thin for his age, his black hair waving in the wind of the New Alexandrian docks. The corporal turned his head towards the lieutenant.
'Yes we might as well' he said kicking the black bag into the seemingly darker and blacker water. 'We have finished this job last thing we want is the Coronal kicking my ass.'
They looked to on another and nodded as they turned their back towards the setting sun and harbour and faced the great city that lay before them. The city was well known for its white spires and its nightlife, with the many clubs and bars, this made it the perfect spot for the Archimedes Establishment, this organisation fuel the rebellion that was currently covering the entire planet, the many farmers and workers rising to try and control Reach, political efforts have been made, but when that failed, all resorted to violence and guerrilla warfare. These people where known as the insurgence or as the UNSC troops called them, the 'inies', but luckily for the Establishment that means great profit. They were the most frequent customers always wishing for the highest grade equipment, as a matter of fact the recently sent a shipment to a hydro-electric power station.
The two men walked to the car and got in, the corporal was reaching into his pocket to reveal a toffee, he unwrapped it and ate it, and the lieutenant on the other hand started the car and began driving into the centre of New Alexandria.
