=I burst from the wall toward their armoury.=
=My armour was getting annoying, I feel like I weigh about twenty tons more.=

We've got a bit of an issue over here. We're on a strict time limit and we're about to hit our outpost. We can't afford to delay at all. But my guess is that each of these outposts are linked. You seem to have the central one so i'll bet they all relay into your place. If we hit this, everyone in your outpost is going to be on alert if they are linked. You need to hit your outpost within the next ten minutes or it's going to be so much harder for you. If you aren't even there yet, i'd suggest you got your ass in gear.

I think for a moment while the squad look around awkwardly.

Good luck. I hope you get back to the Athena. Sparrow out.

I switch over to the other comm frequency.

Alright. Let's go.

I raise my thumb at Whisper and Neon before lying down and beginning to crawl over the hill towards Watchtower 2. I hear Whisper's camo enable behind me and i hope Neon is waiting until the two minute mark to move. My countdown starts up.

"Sounds good."

=turns to Hawk, Rubble, and Sync=

"Right, we need to pick it up, Alpha'll be hitting there out post soon, we should expect moderate resistance when we arrive. So let's MOVE!"

=Starts off in a jog.=

=I nod=

Aye, sir.

=I start into a jog and follow after Aegir, keeping my sensors trained toward the sky=

=I run through the gate, and see two guards, I run to the left, hiding behind a box. I crouch to avoid getting spotted, and slowly walk to the left. Once out of site, I get up and start running again, I could feel my armor getting more stiff. I run and could see the barracks now. I run next to the entrance of the barracks, and get ready. I check my rifle before I enter, just incase.=

"Where are you, Whisper?"

=disengages the cloak and tosses neon 2 duffle bags=

fill them up fast as possible and then we'll leave

=starts putting everything important and somethings he thinks could be in just incase=

(Wielder)
=I ran through a hall, finding two men guarding a door.=
=They were to slow to react because now they have two holes in their head.=
"Alright. What's behind here?"
=I jog over to the door and find uts locked.=
=I shoot it open and walk in.=
=Several rows of armour stood in align. I looked around and found some cabinets containing weaponry.=
=In a fast motion I busted through one and grabbed the six grenades that weren't taken.=
"Hm. This might work."
=I looked over at a locked metal cabinet. I tried shooting it and tackling it. It wouldn't open.=

=I catch one duffle bag, the other hits me straight in the face. I put them around my neck, and ready my rifle. I breach the barracks, and look around. I take any and all documents I find. Halfway through it, I heard a few voices. I look at Whisper and say;=

"What is that? I think it's soldiers.."

=I grab as much as I can, before we need to leave as soon as possible=

I move a box and tip it over. A couple of packs of some kind of high explosive spill out. But i'd lost interest at that point. I check the wall behind the box, feeling the paint crumble away beneath my fingertips. I ram the wall wit my shoulder and it cracks. A few more tries and i'm through. This room is very cold. Extremely cold. And the box sat in the centre worries me.

Wielder. Get in here. Bring as much explosive as you can and dump it on the pile. I need your help with something.

The clock timer hits 4:00. We have two more minutes before we need to move for the RZ.

i know lets get going i think we got as much as we can get

=see's a back door and opens=

hurry

=heads outside and makes his way to the evac postion before being confronted by a guard who's a bit too slow to react before he punches the guy in the chest dropping him=

[

=I follow him, with the duffle bags=

"Carry one!"

=I toss one over to Whisper, and run through the door=

=i get up with Hawk and Sync and take off jogging with Aegir. I keep an eye on my motion sensor, waiting for a hail of red dots to appear and just swarm us=

The Outpost comes into view. Echo team is on a sand dune, overlooking the outpost. from the top they are able to see a helipad and several buildings. The buildings were simple and rectangular. One was Square and closest to the chain fence, a patrolman was atop it. The helicopter Echo team had heard earlier had landed on the helipad, several troops got off, unloading some boxes, filled with what, Echo team couldn't know.

A patrol was returning to the outpost, they brought news of the attack on Delta's assigned outpost. The response was immediate: word was spread and security was tightened. More troops came out of the barracks. The outpost was on full alert now.

=Aegir=
Sweat rolled down his face.
It looks like they were alerted. We'll have to set up a diversion, and get someone in there to take them out from the inside.
Aegir scans the Area of operations.
Sync will be better able to get into any tech based information from the terminals here. Rubble and Hawk should be able to lay on the heat from the inside, I can snipe them from up here to get their attention.
Aegir takes the Covenant Carbine from his back.
"Alright, here's the plan: Rubble, Hawk, you'll place a triggered explosive on the gate, move quick, you'll only have a one second window to get clear, you'll hide in the shadow of the square building to the right of the gate, Sync, you'll follow suit, but you'll stay on the other side of the fence, I'll give you the call sign to move in. Hawk, Rubble, you'll cover Sync while she gathers intel, I'll snipe them from up here to get you the window for planting the charge."

(Wielder)
"Wait. Almost have this."
=I pull a pin on a grenade and set it on the cabinet.=
=I take a good distance back as it explodes, but the box holds.=
"Maybe a key?"
=I look around for it.=
=I sigh.=
It was on the wall hanging by a hook. I take it, go over to the box, unlock it.
=I look inside and extract my arms.=
"I think we have something of value."
=I run off towards Sparrow.=

Whatever it is. It's not as valuable as this. Help me with the lid.

I position myself by one of the handles of the box lid and he grabs the other one. Together we both lift it up and off. I gasp out loud at the sight inside.

FENRIS Nuclear Warhead. Five of them.

I look at him.

I don't even know what protocol is here.

The timer hits 3:30. One minute and a half.

=I take the lead, and run to the RZ=

"Which way do I go?"

The sun was blazing on this planet, I could feel myself drying up. *bang* It seems that Shroud is doing some damage up there. I turned my attention back to where it was needed.

Janice bring up the map of the mission zone.

My screen turns dark and neon green dots start appearing on screen. Soon they start to combine into a 3D model of the objective points of the squads.

These are the points here.

Small red markers are shown on the map.

All teams have reached their designated objectives and are currently occupied.

Good now show me the attack patterns of every enemy on the map.

Small yellow blobs start forming and show the past movement of the enemy combatants. *Ftump!* The ambient sound of the fighting was coming closer.

Hostiles have arrived at the base. Enemy Aircrafts have been spotted in the vicinity.

I turn my head 45 degrees to the right where the scorching metal wall stood. I could hear something closing in. I see a figure's shadow appear over me.

-Novak

We have heavies! TAKE COVER!

Crap I knew that sounded familiar.

I turn around and run to the nearest wall, which was about 15 feet behind me. Then I hear this loud piercing scream followed by a bright red light then nothing. I peer around the wall and see what seem to be cyclops's but smaller which have appeared to be coming through a large melted hole in the wall. I open comms to my teamates.

Shit, we got heavy mechs down here, any heavy ordinance around here.

I have no clue. Didn't take inventory of the enemies weaponry.

Shroud, go look in the armory and see if there is anything we can use on these things. Fenrir I will play the coy and grab their attention. If you can plant some c4 on them.

Understood.

Runnin!

=i nod and salute=
Yes, sir.

=i jog off towards the gate with Hawk following and Sync not far behind=

(Wielder)
"Wha... how would they have war heads here? In a out post. What are they thinking?"
=The rpg I found isn't nearly able to compare to these.=
"Maybe leave them and seal the wall back. This is our base."

No. We need to get in contact with another squad. Meet up and double our forces. If they know we've taken this base they're going to try as hard as they can to get these back. If we blow it and meet up with Echo squad, we'll have a better chance.

whisper just go straight ur hud will show where we stop at

=they make their way out of the base and are halfway to the marker when 2 guards attack them one of which is dispatched by neon using the rifle hitting him in the chest and the other knocks neon to the ground but looses his footing and as he turns neon had already gotten back up and had the gun pointed at the face and shoots him point blank range dropping him=


whisper crap lets go

=they make it to the marker shortly after=

(Wielder)
"Blow it? These war heads will cause such a huge mess, not to mention the shock wave that we'll never be able to get out of."
Let me correct. What is she thinking?

A gunshot snaps me out of my daze. I grab the nearby carrying bags and load the warheads into them. I pass a bag to Wielder and sling the other over my shoulder.

Come on. We need to go.

The timer hits 3:00. We had a minute to get out and that gunshot was going to raise an alarm. We run for the door and pause just long enough for Wielder to chuck two grenades into the room we piled weapons in before carrying on running. We've greeted with a huge boom behind us, which causes me to stumble for a moment. I head for the gate, concentrating on getting out of there as soon as possible. Another explosion behind me hints we hit a fuel pipe and i can feel the heat of the blaze on my back even in the mid-day sun.

Echo Squad. Come in. I have FENRIS Nuclear Warheads. I repeat FENRIS Nuclear Warheads. We are re-locating to your position where we shall evac.

=i respond to Sparrow's comm=
This is Rubble. We are beginning assault on our objective now. Standby.

=we reach the gate and I place a charge on the gate and quickly run away to Hawk with Sync on the other side. I wait for the detonation=

Rubble. There is no stand-by. We need assistance getting to your location now. We have Priority Zero material and we believe the other outposts may be trapped with more. We need to immediately retreat to the Athena and discuss our options.

I see Whisper and Neon at the RZ and i wave to them, motioning for them to be quiet. I stop next to them and motion we need to move further out.

(Wielder)
=My suit was really damn heavy now, it wouldn't move unless I forced it too. And now with the warheads, I was losing energy.=
=The explosion causes me to jump. Then the fuel line explosion, nearly tipping me.=
"We're going to echo squad's position?"
Apparently she still has her Comm station up.

You'll have to talk to Aegir, ma'am. I'm not in charge.

=the explosive goes off and the gate blows inwards. The three of us quickly move in and take cover, firing at any exposed hostile=

I growl to myself and cut the comm off

Right. Echo isn't going to help us right now. We need to keep moving and try to contact the Athena to get evac sorted.

My timer hits 0:00 and another large explosion happens at the outpost we had just left. I quickly fill Neon and Whisper in on what we found

Someone get the Athena on comms.

I switch over to Delta Squads frequency.

Delta. You in there. It's Alpha.

(Wielder)
"What in the world!! We weren't suppose to blow it completely!!"
=I moved up to the EZ.=
=I sit down in the sand, armour heavy as hell.=
=Sweating rivers now, my irradiation levels were sky rocketing. I don't even know why.=

=contacts AP=

this is alpha squad here requesting immediate emergency evac we have several WMD'S over

=My face loses color at the news=

Sheisse, Sheisse, Sheisse, We need to move, NOW.

=I comm Aegir=

Sir, we have a situation. Enemy has set up nukes, I repeat, enemy has armed FENRIS warheads and we need to fall back.

=I then send a emergency burst message=

This message is for all friendlies within range. Shit has hit the fan, and we need to evac ASAP. Hawk out.

=I then follow Rubble into the compound, even now knowing what was happening=

"We don't need to Evacuate. Stay focused on the objective, panicking will only get you killed."

=breathes in and take another shot, killing another GTC soldier.=

=Command responding to Whisper=

"That's a negative, over. We'll send reinforcements, Beta team is on it's way."




Note: Beta: Armor colour is black and blue (symbolism ftw)
Rán -Leader (female) Tall and slender
Eldir -explosives (male) Looks like Aegir
Hymir -Stealth (male) Second tallest and thickest, another Spartan Giant.
Sigurd -Support (male) Tall, slender.
Gymir -Anti-everything (male) Tallest and thickest, a Spartan Giant. (seriously though, he's like 7 feet tall out of armor.)

Paarthurnax continued to fire away his magazines of hydrogen, trying to hold the enemies back, but more and more came.
He looked back and saw Torix and Quna returning with Jovac and Bunda, he was glad he was okay.

He looked to F'alas, who was right beside Paarthurnax and aiding him in slaughtering the coming enemies from their side.

"Reloading, Officer!"

"Granted F'alas, I have you covered."

Paarthurnax did what he said, he covered F'alas as he reloaded. He tapped F'alas on the shoulder, before running over to Bunda and Jovac, a while later F'alas came over. Paarthurnax looked to Golen.

"How are you two, good I hope?"

He turned around to the sound of fire as bullets flew past Quna and Torix who were now covering them.

"You need to decimate the surrouding area, detonate the charges. It's the only way!"

Paarthurnax looked to F'alas, he knew he was right. Paarthurnax looked back, firing off a few rounds.

"Golen, we can either die here or blow the place sky high in hope of survival. Since you are the Demolitions Expert, the choice is in your hands. My warriors and I will continue fighting, inform us of your decision."

Paarthurnax and F'alas ran back and started covering their side again, Quna and Torix having the other side.

(Wielder)
=I yawned. I was quite tired now.=
"So. To the Athenia's Province? Or to Delta?"
=I stretch my arms, using one to help the other.=

(Golen Dasra)
"Seems so. Let's go further in the cave first or we are dead for sure."
=I motioned for everyone to follow me deeper. I run down inside of the cave.=

The cave was like a y-shape in reality. Three routes, the two top entrances were where Paarthurnax' Lance were covering, and the final route was the one Golen was motioning for everyone to follow.

"Warriors, follow him!"

Paarthurnax ordered his warriors to follow them as he stayed behind a while, covering there exit.

"Officer, come on."

"Negative. Go, I will cover your exit. I will catch up if I can, if I cannot, then it has been an honor!"

He continued to fire his Beam Rifle, covering both routes.

understood

=switches back to his squad and informs them of the responce=


command's sending down another spartan squad to help secure the nukes

(Golen Dasra)
"Paarthurnax... we will all survive. You do not need to cover us. We need you with us more then we need you here."
=I throw a grenade, temporally causing the enemies to stop.=
"Please. Come."

Paarthurnax succumbs to his wishes and runs over to them, stylishly.

(Golen Dasra)
"Thank you."
=No one from my lance talks as we run through the cave.=
=I turn around seeing the humans in persuit, but a good distance away.=

Paarthurnax begins to throw grenades behind him to slow down the human soldiers, killing few but slowing other down.
This was a great tactical advantage.

=I look and nod at Sparrow=

"I'll do whatever I can to make sure they do not get them."

I give up on the link to Delta, not receiving a response from them. After Whisper tells me, i clench my fist.

God. Damnit. We need to get these back to the Athena, not be on the ground.

I sigh out of frustration and think quickly.

Beta is coming down, but they'll be using drop pods so that's no good. Rebel's...Possible....Atmos exit unlikely however...Come on Lil. Think. Think.

I glance a sharp look at the others at the slip of my name, but they don't seem to notice. Instead pre-occupied with keeping us covered.

We're going to have to rendezvous with Beta. They can bring better weaponry down with them and then we could hike it to Echo. They might have a transport or something.

I bring up a comm feed to Beta Squad.

Ranny. Come out, come out.

without the launch codes these aren't much of a threat but i agree we should move them

=thinks for a moment=

we could make a makeshift sled to carry them but what aboout ur guy's armor?

=I check my rifle then look at the warheads=

"They'll be back soon. How on until evac?"

No evac Neon. Hold up. I'm trying to get in contact with Beta squad. They're our saviours right now. Or as best as we can get hold of.

I re-send another signal to Beta Squad.

(Wielder)
"Whisper, no offense, but using our armor as a sled won't work. And if we get caught we're screwed with them."
=I yawned again, bored. Although the magnificent fire ball that was a base is beautiful.=
"So. Where is our evac?"

*Beta Squad Member, Rán.*
"I hear you Sparrow. Whatja need?"
My squad And I are almost done preparing to drop.

=I hear something off in the distance, questioning what is was, I ask;=

"I think soldiers are incoming.."

We need a couple of extra bits and bobs. You can do that can't you. A favour for an old friend?

I grin in my helmet.

We're not exactly equipped to defend 5 Nuclear Warheads. I'd say....

I give it a few moments of contemplation

Two Sniper rifles. Three DMR's. A Rocket Launcher, a shotgun and as much ammo as you can bring. We also could do with two Warthogs and a Mongoose. And i know it sounds like a strange request, but we need four tubes of lubricant grease for our armour.

I pause to give her time to count it all.

*Ran*
"Ok. So that will be a mongoose, two snipers, three DMR', rocket launcher, shotgun, two warthogs and.... armor grease?"
Strange but okay, if its needed.
"That'll be one hundred thousand, thirty-four hundred and thirty nine credits."
I laughed a shallow laugh. That's a lot of stuff.

Sure. I'll pay you when i win that lottery back on Ranis V.

I give a short laugh back to her.

Look i gotta go. Soon as you hit dirt, comm me and we'll link up.

I close the connection and come up next to Neon.

Hostiles, how many?
