[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

Anaconda approached the door to the R&D lab. Before he charged in, he gave one final check to his weapon. Anaconda wished he had his own weapons, but this was going to have to do. Anaconda grunted and shook his head, as he turned and barged right into the R&D lab. Anaconda moved forward, getting the attention of everyone in the room. He snarled at the engineers, as he aimed the assault rifle at the Marines and pulled the trigger down, going into full auto mode, and firing right across the room, cutting all six Marines down before they could even react. Meanwhile: Spender sat on the bridge of The Ulterior Motive, as he relished in his early advantage. However, he was given a cause for concern when he saw and heard what Harrison was doing. Harrison: VI, Attack Pattern Hotel-Oscar-9-0-1. Spender: What the hell is Harrison planning? Spender paused for a moment, as he considered his options. He watched as The Vigorous Inferno brought itself on an attack trajectory. Spender had enough naval experience to know that some Officers had fallback tactics which usually relied on suicide maneuvers. These were typically done to scare or intimidate those they were in direct conflict with. Spender: This son of a bitch things he can scare me? Spender scoffed, as he took a drag of his cigarette. Spender: Bring the MAC gun online. Remove Admiral Harrison from this plane of existence! Despite Spender's focus on Harrison, The King Raven continued its attack. SPender then heard Jennifer speak over the comms. Jennifer: Admiral...if you are currently engaged with Spender, and you find yourself unable to get a clear shot on his hanger bay, just give the signal and I will switch targets. Spender scoffed. Spender: Kolya...where are those Sabres? Kolya spoke up. Kolya: The pilots are prepping for launch now sir. We should have them out there in a few minutes. Spender: The moment they get out there, have them attack The King Raven! We need to shake that ONI bitch off our tail!

Jacob followed in right after Anaconda did an once he noticed the marines were dead, he focused his attention on the officer and engineers. Jacob didn't bother trying to find cover, he simply raised both of his Socoms and took precise shots to each of the engineers and officers head, making sure to take down the officer first. Jacob continued to fire at every one in the room until the last body drop. He looked around and began to reload. Jacob: Not bad. See anything useful? Meanwhile: Harrison watched as the Ulterior Motive planned it's next move. He waited a few moments until he heard the terminal beep. Weapons Officer: Sir! They are locking onto us with their MAC gun, orders? Harrison didn't say a word, he simply stood on board his bridge. Helm: Sir! What are you're orders? Harrison simply stayed quiet as the Vigorous Inferno was on a straight trajectory to the Ulterior Motive. Neither of them were budging. Weapons Officer: Sir! They almost have a firing solution! We need to act. Harrison grinned, they were only a few thousand kilometers from the Ulterior Motive. He had to keep waiting, he knew he had to plan this out, he knew he had to take his time. And one thing he knew was his ship. VI: Admiral, I highly suggest we break formation immediately. Harrison grinned. He waited a few seconds longer. Weapons Officer: Sir! They have a lock! Harrison waited a few moments as the officers turned in their chairs and waited for their Admiral's orders. It wasn't until the Ulterior Motive was about to fire that Harrison yelled in the room. Harrison: Dive Inferno, dive! Hit forward thrusters, slow us down! The Vigorous Inferno took a hard dive as the Inferno's forward thrusters activated and pushed it as far under the Ulterior Motive as it could go. The Inferno was only a few hundred meters from the Ulterior Motive by the time it was underneath it. The Inferno was slowing it's engines as it started to come to a halt underneath the Ulterior Motive. Harrison: Fire archer missile bays one through one hundred, cycle them, and fire at the nearest hangar bay! Get the point defense guns to hit the rear of the Ulterior Motive, arm shiva warheads and let them sit! Bust me a hole! The officers all turned back to their stations and began to relay the orders. In almost no time at all, the archer missiles fired at the hangar bay doors, blasting them open. The Inferno continued up the fire as they were under most of the Ulterior Motive's main weapons. Harrison grinned to himself. Harrison: All teams...move in!

Anaconda shook his head. Anaconda: Not that I can see. Most of this stuff I wouldn't even use to scratch my back with. Anaconda walked across the lab, walking by various weapons. He did stop to examine a large black rectangular case that was sitting open on a workbench. Inside of the case was a single weapon. Anaconda examined the weapon, and he recognized the weapon based on description. Anaconda then shrugged, as he continued looking around. He eventually stopped in his tracks, as he grunted. Anaconda: Hello...what do we have here? Anaconda took a few more steps forward, walking right up to a large glass display case with a lock on it. Inside the display case was a weapon which caught his eye. Beside the display case, was a tablet, with a message on it. Anaconda looked at the tablet, and picked it up, as he began to read the words on it out loud. Anaconda: Division 7 Gravitational Hammer System. - Revision 9. As per instructions from The Consultant, experimental refit has been expedited and completed on this weapon platform. This weapon is to be delivered into The Consultant's hands at 0100 this morning. We do not lock up the lab until she stops by to pick it up. -Kevin... Anaconda growled, as he tossed the tablet over his shoulder. Anaconda: Kevin sounds like a tool. Anaconda clenched his fist, as he smashed his hand through the display case and grabbed the hammer. Anaconda: Not my color...but totally my style. Pretty light though. Much lighter than my other Hammer. Anaconda paused. He swung the hammer downwards, as he smashed right through a desk, sending bits and pieces flying across the large room. Anaconda: Same destructive force. Not bad. Sorta looks like the weapons Nova Team use. I guess Division 7 has their style> I think Nighthawk would like to have a look at this. However, just as Anaconda said this, the ship began to violently shake. Anaconda almost lost his balance, as he heard alarms going off in the corridors of The Ulterior Motive. Anaconda: What the hell was that? Meanwhile: Jennifer grinned as she heard Harrison give the order. Jennifer: Prepare to draw all incoming fire from The Ulterior Motive. Do not let The Ulterior Motive get a firing solution on any of our Pelicans! Jennifer turned to her weapons officer, as she gave a firm nod. Jennifer: Get Spender's attention. Hit him wth everything we have! Keep his point defenses busy! The King Raven kept pace with The Ulterior Motive, as it every weapon at the disposal of The King Raven was fired at The Ulterior Motive, inflicting as much damage as possible, in addition to keeping the point defense turrets busy. Meanwhile: After hearing the order from Harrison, Nighthawk was the first one to jump into action, as he hit the thrusters on his Vulture, as he flew towards The Ulterior Motive. Nighthawk: Harrison...don't forget to slow that ship down! We need you to hit those engines with a Shiva payload before we arrive...otherwise it is going to get really ugly out here. We are basically flys on a windshield if The Ulterior Motive decides to ram a Pelican, or even, my Vulture. Meanwhile: Back aboard The Ulterior Motive, Spender was getting a sitrep from his bridge crew. Spender: Damage report! Kolya was the first to speak up. Kolya: The primary hanger bay has been breached. We are exposed! Spender slammed his fist on the arm rest of his chair. Yates: The King Raven is continuing its attack. The Ulterior Motive shook violently again. Yates: We will not last long if we don't start countering those Archer missiles! Spender: Blue-shift the engines! Don't let those boarding parties get close. Focus all point defense weaponry on any incoming Archer missile! Do not let up. Focus all primary weapons on The Vigorous Inferno! They are going to try and disable our engines! Do not give them the chance!

Jacob watched Anaconda go through the weapons as he holstered the Socoms. Jacob passed by the sword and picked it up in his hand, he whistled. Jacob: Damn, this thing is...interesting. Jacob paused, he started to read the description. Jacob: I am taking this badboy. Jacob picked up the sheath next to the case and placed it onto his back, allowing the magnetic strips to hold it in place. Jacob picked up the sword and swung it a few times in his hand, spinning it in his hands. He liked the weight, and although he wasn't a big sword guy, he knew it would come in handy just from the description and he had used energy swords a few times before. I'm sure Vernette would like to get a look at this, too. It might buy me some time. Jacob shook his head as he slid the sword into the sheath. He turned around and walked over to the weapon rack, looking at the various designs. They were all Division 7 weapons. Jacob looked at the sniper rifle and picked it up, dropping his assault rifle. He read the description underneath the set of sniper rifles. Jacob: System 99D-Series 2.3 Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle - Revision 3. Experimental refit expedited to phase three of seven. 2.3 series sniper rifle has yet to go under testing and awaits testing by authorized personnel. Jacob shrugged as he slung it around his back. Jacob: Well, I'm more authorized than these guys. Jacob grabbed a few extra magazines. He turned around and picked up the two Socoms, not even bothering to read the description. He grabbed several more clips and smiled. Jacob: Alright, I think I am good to go. Jacob fell forward when the ship violently shook, he crashed into a table in front of him. Jacob turned and looked at Anaconda when he spoke, he smirked. Jacob: My guess is the UNSC...we better find out where they breached. Meanwhile: Harrison responded to Nighthawk's response on the comms. Harrison: Already on it, Nighthawk. Be ready to hit them hard. Harrison turned and looked at the holotable in front of him. His ship was sitting tightly underneath the Ulterior Motive and even with the firing being focused on them, Harrison's point defense guns were blowing the archer missiles before they got close. Harrison smiled. Harrison: Status of the warheads! VI: All currently sitting on our port side, ready for firing. Harrison grinned. Harrison: Punch us, all engines to max velocity. Harrison stepped forward as the Vigorous Inferno's engines pushed to the max and it darted forward. At the same time, the Ulterior Motive began to move forward and over the Vigorous Inferno. After several moments the Vigorous Inferno began to take a sharp turn and the Ulterior Motive was sitting over an area littered with a few shiva warheads, enough to blow main engines on the Motive. Harrison: Do it. Meanwhile: When the Ulterior Motive shook, Liam and the others all held tight against the wall and looked around. Liam peered over his shoulder and looked at Savannah. Savannah: Primary hangar bay. There's a hole halfway to hell in the main bulkhead. Liam nodded and began to jog. He spoke to his Spartans. Liam: Prep suits for EVA operation. Desmond, William, I want you two in front. In no time at all, William and Desmond were both leading the team towards the primary hangar bay. Liam: Emma, stay with Lyle on whatever is left of the catwalk. Jessica, with me and Savannah. One by one, each of the Spartans hit the green light on their suits as they were prepped for EVA launch. Liam, at the same time, contacted Hammer Team. Liam: Hammer Team, this is Liam. Primary hangar bay is breached. That's where they'll be landing the main forces. We're heading there now...ETA. Liam looked to his right and Savannah held up five fingers. Liam: Five minutes. Would be best if you met us there, if anyone is coming, it's through that hole. Willco?

"Sir! If you can get us close enough, I can jump from my pelican! I'll be able to repressurize the area... And shut down the engines from inside." Dark said over the comms. He couldn't let this go on any longer lest any of the UNSC ships be destroyed.

[Naked Crook]

Tye was in the passenger compartment of Nighthawk's Vulture when he heard Dark's recommendation. Tye responded to Dark via the comm. Tyber: What about the Marines who are with you Dark? What happens to them when you open the rear hatch and expose them to the vaccum of space!? Are you really going to kill your own people just so you can be a hero? Tye paused. Tyber: We already have a plan Spartan. Stand down, and stick to what was previously agreed upon. We are going to do this without ejecting our men into space! Tye sighed and he shook his head. Cameron simply laughed. Meanwhile: Anaconda looked back at Jacob. Anaconda: That weapon you have...that blade... Anaconda paused. Anaconda: If I am not mistaken...that weapon has the ability to repel Human projectile weaponry. I am not sure how it works...but I know what I was told. It can also do a bunch of other things...but there is not enough time to get into it. Anaconda grunted. Anaconda: We should get moving. We should not stay in once place for long. Let's find The UNSC...and then go from there. Anaconda held the Gravity Hammer in his hands as he walked out of the R&D lab. Meanwhile: Nighthawk was in the cockpit of his Vulture. His Vulture was flying right at The Ulterior Motive. Nighthawk frequently check his sensor readout, making sure that the other Pelican's were right behind him. Nighthawk looked out the front window of his Vulture, as he saw that they were quickly closing in on The Ulterior Motive. Nighthawk: Frost, harrison...we are 20 Km away from The Uloteior Motive, and closing. Just keep those point defenses busy long enough for us to land in his main hanger bay. Nighthawk's Vulture, along with the other Pelican's were quickly closing in on The Ulterior Motive. They were less than three minutes away at their current velocity. Meanwhile: On the bridge of The Ulterior Motive, Spender was hearing a litany of reports coming in from his officers. Kolya: Our main engines are offline. Harrison hit our engines with a barrage of Shiva warheads. We are going to need a few minutes to purge the EM radiation and reinitialize. Yates: We have minor hull breaches across the ship. However, emergency bulkheads are responding. Spender scoffed. Spender: God damn idiots know not what they are impeding. Spender paused. He was juggling a lot of information at the moment, and he needed to prioritize. Spender: Spender: The UNSC is going to board this ship. Get every available person on this ship prepped and armed for combat! Notify Black Team that they are to locate the main point of entry and engage any hostile forces! Spender paused. Spender: Kolya...drop everything you are doing and find The Consultant! Organize as many soldiers as you can, and help The Consultant get Vanguard off this ship! Kolya nodded, as he ran off the bridge. Spender: Yates...contact the soldiers we sent down to ONI Installation Tropic. Tell them that returning to the ship is far too dangerous, and that they are to instead consolidate at ONI installation Mediterranean. Inform them that they are to perform a scorched Earth Contingency at Tropic...and they are to move everything of value to Mediterranean! We must now consolidate all of our forces at The Forge! Spender paused. Spender: Go, now! Yates: What about you? Spender: I am going to try and save The Ulterior Motive. We are going to need a ship when this is all said and done. The Ulterior Motive is built tough, so she still has a lot of fight in her. Coupled with the fact that The UNSC will NOT destroy this ship with their people still on it, we can use that to our advantage! I am going to try and get us to safety, away from the UNSC> Spender paused. Spender: Hopefully...the Stealth generator will be repaired by then.

[Dark-F137]

Dark shook his head. He forgot about the Marines. "Fuck. You're right. Apologies, commander." He said. "Unacceptable!" He said after cutting off comms. Jesse rolled his eyes. "This is why Spartans give me the creeps." He said.

[Hells Sniper]

Jacob nodded as he hefted the sniper rifle in his hands. Jacob: Sounds good enough to me. Jacob started walking towards a staircase near the far end of the room. Jacob: Let's get going...my bet is the UNSC breached them somewhere, we just have to follow the crowd. Jacob pulled the two Socoms from his side and peered into the door, scanning the area. Jacob: We're all clear, let's go. Meanwhile: Harrison: Roger that, Nighthawk. Good luck out there. Harrison turned to his bridge crew and nodded. Harrison: Cycle archer missile pods, keep point defense guns online and firing. Protect those pelicans!

[Naked Crook]

Nighthawks Vulture quickly closed in on the breached Hanger bay of The Ulterior Motive. As Nighthawk closed in, he sent one final message to the other Pelican pilots. Nighthawk: Be very careful when piling into that hanger bay! The last thing we is for all these birds to smash into one another! Take it slow and be careful! Nighthawk leaned forward as he he began to slow his Vulture down, as he crossed the threshold of the hanger bay. As soon as Nighthawk's Vulture entered the hanger bay of The Ulterior Motive, he hit the full reverse on his engines, and began to turn the noes of the Vulture, as he eventually came to a full stop. However, his Vulture had not yet landed, and was still suspended by the thrust of the engines. Nighthawk: Alright Cameron...you're up! Get to the operator console and get the security barriers online and repressurize the deck. Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: Tye...get up here so I can vacume seal the cockpit, so we can let Cam out. Tye looked at Cam, and gave the Spartan a nod. Tyber: Git er' done, Cam. Cam nodded, as Tye moved to the cockpit, letting the door seal behind him. Once the cockpit door had sealed, Cam could hear the rear compartment depressurizing. Once the depressurization of the passenger bay was complete, the rear hatch opened. Cam jumped right into action, as he jumped out of the Vulture. Cam engaged the mag locks on his boots, allowing him to get his feet on the deck plates. Cam looked around for a moment, eventually catching sight of the operator console on the second level of the hanger bay, on a large catwalk which was against the walls of the hanger bay, inside of a secured office. Cam analyzed the situation, and eventually released the mag locks on his boots, and pushed upwards towards the operators console, allowing the zero gravity environment to do the work for him. Once Cam had reached the second level catwalk, he engaged his mag locks once more, as he made his way towards the console. It only took him about a minute to get everything up and running. By that time, however, all of the Pelican's had managed to enter the large hanger bay, and space out just enough to safely land when the time was right. Cameron: bringing security barriers back online...now... As soon as Cam said this, a bright wall of light covered the massive breach in the hanger bay door Cameron: Repressurization in progress. As Cam did this, Nighthawk spoke up over the comm line. Nighthawk: Spartan...listen carefully. No doubt the bridge knows that we have landed in their hanger bay. They are going to try and space us the moment that process completes. However, the current operation has to complete before they can do that. Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: Once the hanger bay pressurzation is complete...you need to start a level 6 verbose diagnostic on all hanger bay systems. These usually go on for about 2-3 hours, and level 6 diagnostics cannot be halted due to the fact that a level 6 diagnostic is a hardware reliability check, which as per hardcoded and static protocols in UNSC military grade mainframes, cannot be halted or interrupted, at any level or clearence. A level 6 diagnostic takes pressurization and depressurization protocols offline for testing. This will ensure that Spender cannot space us the moment we set foot outside of our ships, as the operation to do so will be locked out. Cameron nodded. Cameron: That is a very good idea. I will start one the moment the hanger is fully pressurized. Cam waited a few more moments. When the hanger bay had been fully pressurized, he quickly did as he was instructed, and started the necessary diagnostics. Cameron: Diagnostics are now in progress. It should be safe now. Cameron walked away from the operator console, as he jumped back down to the hanger area below. As soon as Cameron hit the ground, the other Pelicans began to open their rear hatches, as the Marines poured out. Nighthawk and Tye exited Nighthawk;s Vulture. Both men were checking their weapons, as they readied themselves for battle. Tyber: Good job Cam! Meanwhile: As Anaconda followed behind Jacob, he could hear Spender's voice over the ships comm system. Spender: We have intruders in Hanger Bay 1. All units...converge on that location and eliminate them! Anaconda growled. Anaconda: Hanger bay 1 is where we should be going! That is where everyone should be. Let's move it! Pick up the pace!

[Kairu]

Fireteam Harmony nodded at each other, Arman being the first to set out of the pelican, following behind was Robertson, Axlon, and Cadieux with Jesse, respectively. Harmony then heard Spender's announcement. Spender: We have intruders in Hanger Bay 1. All units...converge on that location and eliminate them! Arman: "Harmony, dig ourselves in! Make these bastards work to get us out!" Fireteam Harmony began to move around, hunkering down around the large areas and platforms, providing sufficient cover for quite a length of time. Meanwhile, Thor and Hammer Team felt the ship shake from the archer missiles breaching the Ulterior Motive's primary hangar bay. Liam then spoke up. Thor listened and Hammer Team wasted no time moving. They had already began moving there when Thor replied. Thor: "Wilco, Liam. See you there." Thor cut off the line and hollered at Hammer Team. Thor: "Double time it, Hammer!" The Spartans' jog picked up faster more towards a light sprint as they moved towards the hangar.
