A "Rise" Story- The Start of Something New.

Understood. By the way, I got a live one up here. Should give us some good intel.

=i head back to the room and grab the person, still unconscious, and drag them over to the basement entrance=
Here you go!

=i head back and start putting C4 in some key places=

Nic wrote:

Aegir: "First things first, let's rig this place with C4 and blow it."

=I comm Rubble=

"Rubble! Rig the upper floors with C4!"

=I nod and take the map off the wall=

Aye, aye sir.

=I head upstairs and see a guy knocked out=

Mind if I take the guy off your hands?

As Hawk went up stairs I explored the Armoury a bit more.

Go ahead. He' really too much trouble for me.

=i make the smile gesture and continue putting C4=

=I make the smile gesture back=

Not a problem.

=I find a rope and tie his wrists together=

I see you got your hands full, Rubble

=I chuckle, sling the prisoner over my shoulder and take him outside=

I begin examining a computer terminal in the Armoury.

=i chuckle=
Full of the most calming substance ever devised.

=the shakes had disappeared once I started putting the C4 everywhere. I put at least two packs in each room, just to be on the safe side. Well, more like one pack in two pieces in each room. I didn't want anything left. I finished putting the C4 down and then radioed in=
Building's built to blow. Give me the word.

=i picked up my shotgun from where I left it and then headed out of the building to Hawk=

=I nod to Rubble=

Don't worry about the poor guy we have here.

=I pat the prisoner's shoulder=

He's going to have a very enlightening chat with Aegir. A very enlightening chat.

I Uploaded the files from the computer and sent them to Athena's Province. I then further examine the Armoury.

=i nod, what Sparrow had told me about Aegir suddenly rang in my head=
Let's hope he lives, poor bastard.

Garth wrote:

Yeah...I hope this poor guy lives through it too.

=I radio Aegir=

You ready to leave sir? Because when it blows, its going to blow.

Aegir: "Hold on."

I said, further examining the Rifles they had.

=i gesture to Hawk=
Whaddya think he's looking at?

=I glance at Rubble=

They had a lot of gear stored down there. It could be anything.

These ammo boxes have a strange type of ammunition.

I take out a bow of the ammo and open it, taking out the bullets to examine them.

What?!

I hold the bullet near my torso and my shields flicker.

Interesting...

I put the bullet into a tactical hardcase for a tech to analyze later.

What else is here?

Find anything else interesting there, sir? Because you've been down there for a long time.

Aegir: "Yeah Hawk, I have, I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm heading back up."

Nic wrote:

Aegir: "Yeah Hawk, I have, I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm heading back up."

Roger that sir. And knowing Rubble, you might want to clear the blast radius before we blow it.

=I wait for Aegir to clear out to start the countdown=

=We are caught in a sniper's dual=
=Black Burn and myself exchange shots with the enemies=

=Markov and Shield have gone forward a bit, still hiding=

...what...a...drag...

=I sigh and pull the trigger. One more falls down=

=I sweep the area and we all head off again=

=I check the distance=

Thirty Meters

I jog up the stairs and then run out of the building, "Clear!" I shout as I haul ass towards Hawk and Rubble.

Roger that, Sir.

=I give Rubble the thumbs up=

Alright Rubble, lets blow this sucker up.

=I brace as the concussion wave hits=

=i nod and pull out the detonator. I look back at the building as I open it up, the shakes making me hold my thumb over the trigger with a larger gap than most people=
3...2...1...buh-bye!

=i hit the detonator and watch as several explosions rip through the building, blowing it to hell and back. The shockwave hits me in a familiar fashion that I knew all too well=
WHOO! That is the STUFF!

=i pump my arm in the air as the dust settles=

"Rubble! How much C4 did you put in that building?!"

=i turn around=
Four packs in eight places. Why?

Garth wrote:

=I shake off the concussion=

With that explosion, they definitely know we're here, sir.

"Alright Squad, move out!" I yell as I start jogging to the UNSC encampment, "We need to pick it up! If they didn't know where we were before, they do now!"

Yeah Hawk, they definitely know where we are now.

=i radio Aegir=
Sir, what about the prisoner?

=Replying to Rubble=

"Bring him with, the UNSC no doubt what to talk to one of them as well. Might as well start off on good terms."

Aye, sir.

=I sling the prisoner over my shoulder and head for the camp=

=i start jogging after Aegir, putting the detonator away and putting a new shell into my shotgun. The empty webbing slots flapped against my armor, but it didn't make much noise=

=fifteen minutes later=

The UNSC encampment comes into view.

=The Sky gets darker with dark thunderclouds rolling in=

"Finally."

=i comm Aegir=
Who do we talk to first, sir?

Garth wrote:

=i comm Aegir=

=Replying to Rubble=

"Commander Rodgard, if he's still alive."

=I set the prisoner down and unlimber my DMR=

Greaaat...this is going to be one long day

=Time marches forward as we move=
=After some time the Encampment can be seen=

Alright.
UNSC encampment found.
Keep it tight and stay frosty.

=We continue=

"Hawk! Pick him up! we need to circle round to one of the gates!" I said, already on the move.

=replying to Aegir=
Any idea on what he looks like?

Sorry about that sir.

=I follow the rest of the squad with the prisoner over my shoulder=

Haven't a fucking clue.
"I'll get back to you on that."

=i chuckle=
Glad to know.

=we got closer to the encampment, and I could see fairly good sized walls, but no barbed wire. That right struck me as odd. Who doesn't put barbed wire on top of a wall?=

=I look at the wall and noticed the lack of razor wire as well=

I got a bad feeling about this...

=I chuckle as well=

=I then take a wiff of air and notice a familiar smell=

That can't bode well...

Where the fuck is the barbed wire? Were they not expecting to see infantry?

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

=We exit the wooded area and continue the light run to the camp=
=We search around for the main gate=

=By this time we had gone into a walk=

Squad, welcome to the camp.

=to Aegir=
You aren't the only one, sir.

Garth wrote:

=to Aegir=
You aren't the only one, sir.

=I nod=

Yeah...this just doesn't add up. We should have seen some Marine green by now, sir.

=I chamber a round into my DMR=

=We arrived at one of the gates. =

"Hey!" I shout, hoping maybe a marine hear me.

=We round a corner and find the main gate=
=Guarded heavily=

=We are soon spotted and addressed=

"You! Spartans! Friendly?"

=I call back to them=

We are! Do not open fire!
We are Delta Squad, I am the leader Shroud.

"Alright! Friendlies, open the gates!"

=The gates open and they walk through=

=a Marine appeared at wall, he pointed his weapon at us and seemed scared=
"Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you here?"

=As they walk in, Shield looks around, still making notes of every detail of the evironment. He remains silent still, waiting for the order to do his thing=

We're here to help you, Marine. We're Echo Squad, we're Spartans.
