[Hells Sniper]

Strike Team Diamond had their weapons raised on Jacob as each of them approached him. Slowly, Ice lowered his weapon and walked over to him, sticking two of his fingers underneath Jacob's chin, checking for a pulse. Ice: It's faint, but he's alive. Ice stood up and looked at Snyder, nodding. Snyder dropped his weapon and ran over as she began to check on Jacob and patch up his wounds. She used the biofoam she had to cover up the wounds while Ice looked around the area. Ice saw the sword a few meters away and went over to pick it up, it was covered in blood. Ice held it as he jogged over to Tye. Ice: Sir, he's alive. Faint pulse, dozen or so bullet wounds, but he's alive. This was also near the pool of blood. Ice held out the sword in his hand, handing it to Tye. Meanwhile: The Risk Takers and Hammer Team had ran past each checkpoint, passing through the dozens of dead bodies left by Anaconda and Jacob. As they approached Epsilon, they all slowed down and Liam finally responded to Thor. Liam: It was Captain Sharpmen...he betrayed us, used our technology and killed Savannah. The entirety of the Risk Takers were quiet as Liam and Desmond placed Savannah's body on the ground. Liam knelt down next to it and stayed there for a few moments, looking at Savannah. The other five Spartans circled around him, staring down at the two of them. Slowly, he disengaged the lock on his helmet and removed it as he stared down at her. Liam didn't say a word as his hands reached over to Savannah's helmet and disengaged her locks, he took the helmet off her head and stared at her. Beautiful blonde hair, green eyes, and a pale complexion with just a hint of freckles. Liam stared at her, as his nostrils flared and he grew angrier with each passing second. Liam shut his eyes, trying to figure out what happened. Liam: Savannah...I am...I am so sorry. Liam placed his hands on his face as he wiped it, trying to shake the thought out of his head. Slowly, Liam clenched his fists as he looked for the words talk to the dead Savannah. Liam: I failed you. I didn't listen to you and I failed you. He killed you....the man who you told me not to trust. I failed you Liam paused as he opened his eyes, staring down at Savannah in front of him. Liam: I let him overtake your word...and that cost your life. Oh Savannah...I'm so sorry. I failed you...I failed all of you. Desmond placed his hand on Liam's shoulder and looked down at him. Desmond: Sir...we're not out of this yet. We need you. Liam shook his head as he stared down at Savannah. He had nothing more to say. He had nothing to say to Savannah. Liam just sat there, holding onto Savannah's arm, not wanting to let go. Desmond: Liam. Get back in here. Get back in this game. Liam shook his head as he began to stand up, he reached over to Savannah's chest and grabbed her dog tags, wrapping them in his hand. As he stood he grabbed his helmet and locked it on his head. Liam turned to a few marines and looked at them. Liam: You four...get this body to Doctor Novak for preservation immediately. Liam wasn't going to lose Savannah. He wasn't going to lose all of her. The four marines however didn't move as they just looked at Liam and then the body. Liam lunged forward and yelled. Liam: Doctor Novak! Now! The four marines jolted to life as they each grabbed a part of Savannah as they began to drag it towards an elevator. Jessica and Desmond both approached Liam. Jessica: Liam, what in God's name are you doing? Liam snapped back at Jessica as he stared at her. Liam: I am saving this team. Everybody, lock and load. Prepare for a fight! Now! Liam reloaded his DMR as he stared down the hallway. He was intent on destroying something. Liam: We are going to end this. Here and now. We are going to kill every last one of those people. We are going to rip Nighthawk limb from limb and we are going to let him watch as we tear Anaconda in half. Liam turned to his Spartans. Five of them lined up, all quiet, all unmoving and all of them staring back at him. Liam: And we are going to make Jacob suffer. We are going to make him suffer. Desmond and Jessica nodded. Lyle, Emma, and William all reloaded their weapons and stared back at them. Liam: We are going to show them who they are dealing with. Liam paused as he turned back around and stared down the hallway. He looked around and nodded as he whispered to himself. Liam: I am going to make you proud, Savannah.
