Fireteam Harmony stood outside Hoffman's office doors. Arman and Axlon were on one side, Robertson and Cadieux on the other. All of them were kneeling on opposite sides of the door. They dropped their talking to a whisper. Robertson: "What's the plan?" Arman checked her radar. She counted 13 distinct, unknown bio-signatures. Arman: "I'm counting 13. One is probably Hoffman which means we have 12 other lifesigns to terminate. The way they are grouped, I would say they're each three teams of four. One on either side of Hoffman, and a team in the direct line of fire. What's our supply count?" Everyone started counting what they had. Axlon: "One more flash, full magnum plus two, and one full BR clip." Robertson: "Full shotgun plus three." Cadieux: "Two frags, full mag plus two, and half an AR." Arman: "I've got one full SMG and full shotgun plus two." Everyone took a moment to assess. Arman: "Corporal, give me your flashbang." Axlon handed Arman his grenade. Arman: "Private hand me and Robertson your frags." Cadieux did as instructed. Robertson: "Old school breach?" Arman: "Not quite. Instead, after the flash, we throw out the frags between the three groups on opposite sides. Aim wide so we don't harm Hoffman." Robertson: "Well not too bad. I've only got bio-foam and a basic first-aid kit." Arman: "Right, after the frags, we see who is left and drop them. Switch to semi-auto, single fire burst weapons. Robertson, you and I are on point. We'll take out any survivors of the forward team with our shotguns while Axlon and Cadieux drop the survivors of the two side teams. Ready Harmony?" Axlon, Robertson, and Cadieux nodded. Without delay, Arman slowly opened the door, throwing the flashbang in. Harmony looked away to avoid being blinded and Arman and Robertson tossed the two frag grenades following up. Eight Trust ODSTs dropped from the grenades, three on either side and two up front. Before the Trust ODSTs could recover, Arman and Robertson blasted the two forward ODSTs leaving the two next to Hoffman. Axlon and Cadieux fired their magnums at the two remaining Trust ODSTs' head, firing only their one shots. All that remained in the room was Hoffman and Fireteam Harmony. All four members of Fireteam Harmony pointed their weapons at Hoffman. Arman: "Hoffman, I presume?" Vhat was a little winded and surprised at the strength of the SPARTAN's tackle through the wall. He knew SPARTANs were strong but not that strong. Vhat leaped up and activated his energy sword. William was still rolling over as Vhat charged at him, ready to stab him on the ground.
