Zephyr walked out of his tent. Checking the time on his HUD, he noticed it was about time to move out troops. He walked to the armory. He met his team there as they were also restocking ammo. Leapfrog walked over to the Commander. Leapfrog: Still no word on covenant movement? Zephyr shook his head. I don't like that... I have a feeling that clearing this city won't be easy. Brooklyn looked over. He was stocking his extra ammo packs. Brooklyn: Whats going to be hard? We pull people out, and kill anything non-human. Simple. Katana sighed. So naive. Zephyr nodded. He understood where Leapfrog was coming from. He looked to his team. Either way, we need to make sure we are saving human lives. I'm sure we'll have our chance to spill some covie blood. They walked out and gathered around warthogs. A sizable recovery team had joined including Tye and Cameron. Zephyr walked to Tye laughing. Glad to see youre not protruding anything anymore... He jokingly slapped him where the knife had been. He spoke to Cameron and Tye. Lets move out into the city and start sweeping. We'll clear covie forces then gather civies and bring em back here. You guys can grab a squad of marines and a few warthogs. We'll all split up and hit different sectors of the city. I want to cover as much space as possible. He then turned to the small battalion awaiting deployment. Men! The primary objective is civilian lives. We are to clear the streets and get them out of the warzone. He motioned HSK to move towards two mongooses. Everyone, group with your respective teams and lets move out. The crowd gave an enthusiastic "Oorah!" Zephyr sent a comm to the commanding officers in the lead. My team will scout ahead on mongooses and report. We'll clear our first section. Zephyr stepped into the driver seat and Brooklyn hopped on back. Leapfrog and Katana joined in another mongoose with Katana as a gunner. They zoomed off towards Carver, the larger force of marines following behind as they were distributed into their teams. As the mongooses accelerated, Brooklyn gave Zephyr a lighthearted tap on the back. Bovela was glad to be with his team, yet he was unaware of what lied in that city. The uncertainty of war was a burden every soldier had to carry.
