Chapter 6 - Complications part 10

(Jason)

=I chuckle weakly=

Yeah, well in my defence, I don't think I was ready for that information. Though I admit, my reaction could have been more mature.

=Even as the words came out of my mouth, I knew they were excuses. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't prepared to do anything unspeakable, but.............me, a father? I barely remembered my dad, and let's face it, Spartans do not seem like they would make the best fathers=

(Dormii)
=i look at Zeru=
As soon as everyone is ready, we will. That was my plan, anyway.

well i hope so something seems up with rain

=starts eating=

*giggle* weird matabolism i guess... and thanks for the compliment

=i begin eating=

(bbl maybe)

Lets go! Maybe pick up some souvenirs while were in there?

=He follows the rest of the team.=

(Team stacks the door)

Aaron: Kait?

Kait: @Aaron Hold on, this door is a tough one.

Aaron: Grendel?

Code:

Yes Leader?

Aaron: Help Kait crack the door.

Code:

It shall be done!

(Door beeps open)

Kait: @Aaron Doors open in 3 seconds.

Aaron: Grendel, open the door, please.

Code:

Doors open leader. Security system lock down in 3...

2... 1. System lockdown. Red carpet is rolled out leader. Impolite to say no to the invitation.

(Aaron nods)

Aaron: @Me Matt?

Me: @Aaron Boss, courtyard and landing pad is tango free. You can move.

(Aaron nods)

Aaron: @Artyom Go ahead and find Matt Collins, and take him alive, if possible.

Lucas: @Aaron And our job?

Aaron: @Team We go and kill anyone not UNSC.

(Aaron gestures) @Team Move out.

(Dormii)
=i nod, smiling=
Your very welcome.

=i keep eating=

=He nods, and activates his Active Camouflage and heads out.=

Robin, any ideas?

Code:

What do you think I've been doing?

Is there anyway I can just reset you? Make you a normal A.I.?

Code:

Why would you do that? You'd lose your best friend. I have a few possible locations, uploading now...

Thank you. I'll remember to find a souvenier for you.

(Jason)

=I got up, and Miri and I sat at the table. We both were quite for a while, neither of us willing to say anything. I decided to break the silence=

So, we're going to be parents?

(Jason)

=Miranda smiled weakly at me, and I saw her hand drift down to her stomach=

@ Jason- Yeah, I guess so. But, I thought that Spartans couldn't have kids? Something about your augmentations.

=I blinked in surprise at that. True, she was an infiltrator for the rebels, but the augmentations were a closely guarded secret=

The only side effect was risk of a reduced sex drive. But I think we're getting off track here; the point isn't how it happened. It happened.

=His motion sensor detects something.=

Robin, how come its not being clear?

Code:

That RPG earlier damaged it. Working on repairs...

=He comms Matt.=

@Matt: Artyom here, can you see anything near me? Motion sensor is messed up.

(Jason)

=She grimaced a little=

@ Jason- Yeah, you're right.

=She ran a hand over her face=

@ Jason- Well, I guess we're going to have a shotgun wedding now, huh?

=I laughed nervously. Truth be told, on the way back to the ship from the hotel, I had stopped at a ring store. A very expensive, ring store. Point is, I had bought a ring. Now though, I felt to scared to use it, especially taking into account the information I just got=

Dammit Hollywood, you make this look so easy!!!!!!!

(I spot targets in sentry towers overlooking the entire base)

(I comm Aaron)

@Aaron Hold there, boss. We got sentries on lookout. Targeting

(I take out the sentries)

@Aaron Sentries are gone, you got to move fast before they catch on.

Aaron: @Me Roger that. Moving.

(I cut comms)

(I see a group of Innies 5 kms out)

(I radio Alexi)

@Alexi Move the Hog, Alexi. possible ambush coming.

Alexi: @Me Copy that Matt. I'm moving.

(I cut comms with Alexi and see the Hog move)

(I radio Aaron)

@Aaron Boss, you better move. Possible ambush group coming.

Aaron: @Me Roger that. Move it, team. Keep an eye on them Matt.

@Aaron Roger that, boss, out.

(I radio Artyom)

@Artyom There is a possible ambush group coming. Get Collins, and fast.

(I keep an eye on the Innies)

(Jason)

Yeah, I guess we will.

=We went back to being quiet, at least until Argo showed up on the table, a hologram of cigars floating in the air=

@ Jason- So, I guess congratulations are in order?

=I couldn't help it. i laughed so hard, that tears came into my eyes. Miranda joined me=

=He comms Matt.=

@Matt: Artyom here, can you see anything near me? Motion sensor is messed up.

(I check the thermals inside the base)

@Artyom Nothing in there except the team and you. Thermal is clean.

(I check outside)

@Artyom Nothing out there either. But it might be a long range contact. Either way, find Collins and fast.

(I continue checking on the Innies)

=He begins searching, with no sucsess.=

Robin?

Code:

I have located a data console. Get me in there, and I can find where Matt Collins is. Uploading location.

=He heads to the location. Two tango's inside.=

Okay... Time for the party.

(Jason)

=We didn't really do much, while the ship traveled through slip-space. Mostly, it was just watching t.v. A little while later, we had dropped out of the slipstream, and we were heading towards Olympus=

Alright, I'm gonna head up to the bridge, wait for them to respond.

=I headed for the bridge, and Miranda joined me. I would have said no, but she had a strong will. A minute later, we got up to the bridge, and I was sitting at navigations=

=He slides his Pistol out of his Holster. He walks in, undetected, and kills both of the Tango's with a shot the the head. He plugs Robin into the Console.=

-The small bird, Robin, appears on the Security console.-

Code:

Now, lets look for this Matt Collins...

(I see the Innies getting too close for my taste)

(I comm Aaron)

@Aaron Permission to engage the convoy, boss?

Aaron: Negative, not till they're close.

@Aaron Copy that boss.

(I radio Artyom)

(I see the thermals in the room)

@Artyom I'm sure you spotted the contacts. No need for me to tell you anything.

(I look at the Innies)

Wait for it Matt, wait for it...

=He comms Matt.=

@Matt: Seen them, and killed 'em. So hows the view?

Code:

Come on... So much wasted data...

@Artyom View is good, but the Innies coming in don't make me comfortable.

(I see a ping on the thermal)

@Artyom I think I spotted something on thermal. Single, man sized signature near the indoor motor pool. I think it might be our man, Matt Collins.

See if your little buddy can verify that.

(Jason)

=I hailed the Trophaeum=

This is Jason Shepard, of the Blacklight, requesting permission to dock with the Trophaeum. Please, respond.

Robin?

Code:

Thats our man. Location uploaded.

@Matt: Yep, thats Matt.

=He begins making his way to the Motor pool.=

=He begins making his way to the Motor pool.=

(I look at the thermals)

@Artyom He's inside the motor pool, among the vehicles. Once you're in there, I can't really lend a hand.

(I check the Innies, and their relative location to the base)

Not good, not good at all...

(I contact Aaron)

@Aaron They're close, boss. Permission to engage.

Aaron: @Me You have permission to engage the enemy.

@Aaron Copy that, boss.

@Artyom. You might want to get to Matt fast, we have company.

(I take out the drivers of the vehicles)

(Aaron contacts Alexi)

Aaron: @Alexi Situation has changed. Bring the heat!

Alexi: @Aaron Roger that, boss. Stand by.

(Alexi rolls the Hog into the courtyard)

Alexi: @Aaron Heat's here, boss

(Aaron gestures)

Aaron @Team Jack, Jordan, get on the Hog. I want Jack in the passenger seat and Jordan on turret duty, clear?

(They nod and move to the Hog)

(Aaron looks at Jeremy)

Aaron: @Jeremy Bring the hurt, big guy.

Jeremy: @Aaron My pleasure, sir.

(He whips out his Spartan Laser takes the team, with the Hog, to the landing pad)

Aaron: Grendel, you got the Pelican.

Code:

Roger that, leader. Big bird is en route.

(Aaron rallies the team)

Aaron: @Team When they're in range, fire at will.

(The team prepares for the assault)

(I radio Artyom)

@Artyom Once you capture Matt, RV with the team at the landing pad as soon as it clears up.

I'll come to the courtyard to pick you guys up in the Pelican.

(I get in the cockpit)

Grendel, give me a hand on how to work this bird.

Code:

Give me the autopilot. Take the weapons console.

Roger that Grendel, handing over controls now.

Code:

I have control of this crate. Fire when ready.

Got it Grendel.

Now, lets see if I'm as good as Alexi with this...

=He nears the Motor Pool and enters, his Camo still on.=

"Reznov! The fucks going on out there?"

"I don't know, seems like training......No, can't be, maybe a attack. I'm going to check."

"Okay....."

*There's someone in here Collins.*

"What you talking about?"

I hear the 50. Cal move, the gun spins up, but doesn't fire. I grab my Assault Rifle, and aim in the same direction. "Who's there?"

@Matt: So you must be the famous Matt Collins! I am Father Christmas, and your Mr, are on the naughty list!

Code:

On it...

The 50. Cal starts to fire at the target, I fire a little. I jump into the driver, and hit the garage controls that were on me, I start the car, and drive.

SHIT!

=He dives out of the way of the bullets.=

Hey! You are certainly not getting that Tricycle you wanted!

=He comms Matt=

@Matt: Target is on the move, pursuing.

=He begins running after the Warthog.=

I see Reznov outside. "Get in!" He runs up to me and jumps into the passenger. "Drive Collins!" I hit the pedal to the floor and try and get outside of the base.

(The enemy assault team comes into view, spearheaded by a Hog)

Aaron: Jeremy?!?!

Jeremy: Working on it, sir.

(Spartan Laser fires, the Hog exploding in a massive fireball)

(On team radio)

Jordan: Now that's a pyro display! Nice work, big man.

Jeremy: You're welcome.

(Jordan taps Alexi)

Jordan: Get us a visual on the Innies my man. We can't get a clear shot.

(Alexi pulls the Hog into range)

Aaron: @Jack and Jordan Let 'em have it!

(Jordan and Jack unleash a thunderous salvo at the enemy, sending bodies flying)

Jordan: You want some more Innies? Here ,have some more!

(Fires another brace of rockets, scattering Innies)

(The rest of the team opens fire)

(I radio Aaron)

@Aaron Grendel and I are coming with the Pelican. Standing by for pickup.

Aaron: @Me Roger that, standby. Feel free to cover us.

Me: @Aaron Roger that.

(I unload with the Pelican's chaingun)

This I could get used to...

(I hear Artyom)

@Artyom Hold on.

No you don't little man.

(I fire the chaingun at the Hog, hitting the tires and engine assembly)

Hey Grendel

Code:

Yes, One?

Can you confirm the Hog is disabled?

Code:

Yes, one. Hog is disabled

Now its Artyom's turn...

=He runs upto the Hog, Camo activated and pulls Matt Collins out of the Hog, kicking him in the face.=

Rudolph says hello.

=i finish eating and stretch=

*nyaaaaa....

=i stand up=

(WO1. Kubar)

"Pelican in my sites." I sat in the main seat of my Longsword, getting the Pelican targeted. I fire a AA Missile, and let it fly.

(Collins)

"Your crazy, you know that."

I hear a scream and see Reznov jumping on the Spartans back, he brings out a Knife, and stabs the weakspot of his Armor.....his Neck.

(SSgt. Joe)

Scorpion team one, moving up to the base. All four Scorpions bust through the front wall. "Hog in my sites! 1-1 is firing!" I fire a tank shell towards the Hog.

(I get out of the weapons seat)

Grendel, take over!

Code:

What do are you doing, One?

(I get out my sniper rifle)

Something very rash, untried, and stupid.

Code:

I'll help. You want to fire out of the Pelican's crew bay, yes?

You read my mind.

Code:

I'll give you the visual. You take the shot.

Roger that. In position.

Code:

Bay doors open. In position and waiting for your shot.

(I line up Reznov in my sights)

Now, this is where we separate the Pros from the Joes...

(Dormii)
=i smile=
Aww, leaving? Just when I was getting used to the silence.

=i chuckle and keep eating=

Fuck!

=He feels the pain... Shit. He pulls the knife out of his neck, and fires a shot into both of Collin's legs, to stop him from running.=

I feel a sharp pain into both of my legs. "Anytime Reznov!!" I hear him pull out another knife, and stabbing him again....near the same spot.

wait, your still here?

oops sorry!

Grendel we got trouble

Code:

 Depoying countermeasures. Missiles defeated. Firing on Longsword.

(Opens up with the Anvil VIs)

(Aaron)

Jeremy, Jack, Jordan, Take out those tanks!

J, J, and J: Roger that.

(Rocket, Laser and Fuel Rod Fire light up the the tanks)

Alexi: Moving!

(Alexi rolls the Hog out of the tank's line of sight)

(Tanks light up)

Code:

This is Grendel. Ground Armor nuetralized.

(Longsword takes damage)

Code:

Longsword threat nuetralized as well

(Grendel turns the Pelican back around)

Code:

Black One, you have clear line of sight. Fire at will.

Roger that. Targeting

This is for fucking with the wrong Spartans...

(I target Reznov and fire a headshot)

=He feels more pain...=

(Barely being able to speak)

Fu...Ck...

=His vison goes slightly blurry.=

(Commander Steven)

(Back in the main city.)

"Okay....we got UNSC Spartans, taking out one of our bases. Any ideas?"

"We got Strike Missiles...."

"We do. I want ten fired, the targets, Pelican, and the Spartans on the ground. I also want them remote controlled."

"Yes sir."

Ten missiles fly through the night sky. Going for the targets designated.



(Collins)

I see Reznov hit the ground. I bring out my Pistol and aim at the Spartan in front of me. "Fuck. You." I empty the clip into him. I start to crawl away.

Thank god for shields...

=He faints and hits the floor.=

=i sit back down=

so, how are you Dor?

(Dormii)
Been here. Remember, I got you your food? and good, you?

Reznov is nuetralized

Code:

Leader. I'm picking up a signal for missiles. Orders?

(Aaron)

Jam them and hack systems.

Code:

Roger, that.

(Grendel finds the signal source and jams signal)

Code:

Attention Rebels, this is now MY system. So, I hope you have the means to kill me

(Grendel overrides missile targeting and redirects them)

Code:

I case you haven't noticed, that means your missiles are also mine.

(Resets coordinates to the launch site)

Code:

I've also managed to put a virus into your system, so good luck getting your missiles back. Have a nice day in Hell!

(Missiles fly towards launch site with Grendel at the controls)

Code:

I have their missiles. Feel free to take out whats left of their resistance here.

(Aaron)

Roger that, Grendel. @Team Take them out.

I'm good...

=i spin my umbrella over my head=

... [insert awkward silence]... so how old are you anyways?

(Dormii)
=i smile=
27. I'd ask you yours, but that'd be rude.

(CAPT. Johan)

"Snipers....take aim on the Spartans on the ground." I look at the screens of my four snipers taking aim on the Spartans. "Ready, aim, Fire." All four of us fire, four shots, four bodies. "Good shots."

(Collins)

I crawl to the closest building, and hit the door, the door opens, and I get pulled in.

19...

... uhh, so...

=i stand up=

i'm bored...

(Dormii)
Thought you looked a bit young.

=i shrug=
Not much to do other than wait for Zero and Draco to be ready. Could go over and see what Captain Bullet has to offer.
