"I can't tell. But the signs seem to pointing at a weapon that doesn't exist. The trajectory -" [b]He stops, staring at the screen [/b] "It's the Blessed. They're a new enemy that have surfaced and are causing problems."
-
"Where can I find them and how do I kill them?"
-
"I believe their origin is in the Gelidus desert. But our sources are unsure. You can kill them through the usual means. Swords. Guns. Bombs."
-
"Alright." The Spartan turns to walk away, accessing his comms. "This is EAGLE lead to UNSC Black Saber, transmitting coordinates to hostile base now."
-
"Hey. You need backup or anything?" [b]The man turns, speaking to the spartan [/b]
-
"I don't know what your forces are capable of. If you wish to assist, you can. But I won't be responsible for any casualties you suffer."
-
"That's fine. No one is asking you to."
-
The Spartan nods. "Alright then. Can I get transportation?"
-
"Yeah. You can take one of the gunships in the hangar."
-
He nods, falling in line with whatever other troops are heading that way.
-
[b]There was a squadron of mechs headed that way, they entered the hangar and one could clearly spot a pilot waving at the spartan. [/b]
-
He walks towards the pilot. "You're the one flying us?"
-
"Yes siree! I'm ready when you are."
-
He nods. "What kind of ship is this? What are it's weaponry?"
-
"Basic clone gunship. Two laser firing machine guns up front, along with two machine guns. A number of missiles and flares to distract enemy missiles."
-
"Impressive. I look forward to seeing it in action." He moves towards the troop bay.
-
[b]The mechs had already boarded, Nine in total. [/b] "The mechs are following your orders at all times from this point on. So be careful."
-
"Well, you're certainly trusting. I'm not sure how best to deploy them, though. Infantry or cavalry?"
-
"Infantry. All of em. You a Sargeant or anything?" [b]The ship starts, leaving the dojo [/b]
-
"Senior Chief Petty Officer. Roughly equal to a staff sergeant in the Navy." He grabs a fist full of webbing. "There will be UNSC troops deploying on site, so check your fire. No killing my men."
-
"You know what they look like? Describe em. The mechs need an image."
-
"Marines are in olive drab and camouflage, ODST shock troops are in black with silver visors. They're all humans. My AI is uploading their IFF tags to your HUDs.
-
"Alright. We're almost there. Is there a base or anything y'all have set up?"
-
"We're on our way down. ODSTs inbound with Hornet support. ETA 5 minutes."
-
"Alright. Here we go." [b]The ship thumps on the ground, and shakes as the doors open [/b]
