[Halo] New! Halo RPG Pt. 11

[Hells Sniper]

Black 5 was being pounded by constant fire. In an effort to relieve some pressure he switched to his SMG and graves a few grenades. He threw two grenades into the crowd and heard a bit f shouting before they went off. He estimated at least two more were dead, but he had no idea. Black 5 knew he wouldn't be able to last in this cover for long so he blindly fired his clip before running across the hallway and hiding behind cover again. He was slowly inching his way towards the marines and Agents in front of him. Suddenly, they stopped firing and Black 5 took his chance. He ran from cover and sprayed his SMG at the closest targets, three marines dropped to the floor, dead. Two more were wounded. Black 5 unhooked another grenade and tossed it into the crowd again, scattering the units. He estimated he had fifteen more targets in his path. 15 more souls to kill. Black 5 stopped and reloaded behind cover. He examined his surroundings, not much of use and he only had one grenade left. He would have to start improvising pretty soon. Black 5 examined his radar, he noticed a few red dots coming towards him. He readied himself just as the dots passed him on his radar, three marines and an Agent appeared to his right. Black 5 grabbed the throat of the Agent with his cybernetic arm and used him as a meat shield as the marines unloaded their assault rifle clips into him. Black 5 sprayed his SMG back and killed the three marines. The agent he was holding moaned, he was in pain, so Black 5 snapped his neck and ended the pain. Eleven targets. Meanwhile: The Agent team were moving as fast as they could, following the path of destruction Black Team had left. Carmicle: Entering facility now. Lots of casualties. Enemy force is still unknown.

Black 2 was working away. He was trying to access the power grid for the facility, to try and find a way to sever the power feed from the generators to the rail guns. Black 1: Anything yet? Black 2: I am trying to sabotage their power systems...but so far...this thing looks bulletproof. Black 2 paused. Black 2: Section 0 has been very thorough in using their firewalls to seal off exploits in their file systems. I am having a very difficult time finding anything to work with. Black 1 sighed. Black 1: Should we just head down there and plant bombs on the damn generators? Black 2: We could...but that would take an excessive amount of time. The Generators are located 40 floors down behind reinforced titanium doors that are 5 meters thick. I doubt Black 5 has clerence codes to get down there. In my experience...we typically need 6 different access codes to open those doors. Black 2 continued typing away. His hands were moving incredibly fast. Black 1: Keep at it... Black 1 paced back and forth. He was growing impatient. a few moments passed, and before Black 1 could speak again, Black 2 interrupted. Black 2: I think I have something. I think I found a viable exploit. I may be able to crash the entire OS of this facility by rendering the operating hardware useless. Black 1: What will that do? Black 2: With no operating system...nothing works. Doors unlock, security systems freeze, automated defenses go offline...everything shuts down. Black 1: How the hell are you able to do this? You would think a facility this large would would have safeguards? Black 2: This facility has extensive safe guards...however...this facility is run by multiple server clusters located in the sub basement. There are multiple redundant server clusters as well. I am attempting to flood the hardware with trillions of read/write operations per second in an attempt to physically damage the hardware. If this works...the OS will be unable to run due to the damaged memory blocks in the hardware...and the OS will come to an emergency halt...hence...crashing the OS. Black 1: Ok...do it! Black 1 shook his head. Black 1: Do whatever needs to be done! Black 1 nodded. He went right to work. It only took him about two minutes to get the process going. He watched as each and every server cluster was reading and writing junk information. Black 2: Any time now...the OS will halt...this could take seconds...minutes...or... Black 1 sighed. Black 1: This better take seconds...a minute...tops. I dunno ow much longer Black 5 will last out there. Just as Black 1 had finished his statement, every screen in the room shut off, displaying an error code. The lights in the facility shut off, turning the entire facility dark. However, after 5 seconds, a backup generator kicked in and dim emergency lights turned on. The visibility across the entire citadel was reduced by about 80% The lights were now very dim. Black 2: And there you have it...everything is offline. Our assault teams may now land. Black 1 nodded. He then contacted The Ulterior Motive. Black 1: Admiral Kolya...this is Black 1...mission...as usual...accomplished successfully. Kolya responded over the comm. Kolya: Well done Black Team. Shall I send our guests over to the party? Black 1: At your convenience sir... Kolya: Very well...signalling our teams now. They now have green light to engage. Kolya paused. Kolya: Black Team...you must now proceed to find those genetic samples. Do whatever you must to recover them. This assignment is of the utmost importance. Consider all Trust and ONI personnel EXPENDABLE if they interfere with the completion of this task. Kolya paused. Kolya: However...be sure all five of you return in a healthy condition. Kolya out.

Black 5 was behind cover, he was reloading his SMG and eavesdropping on the marines and Agents. Marine: Agent J, we should retreat to the command center, we'd have better cover. ONI Agent: Negative...Agent Ramirez, take four marines, head back to the command center. The rest of us will take care of this bastard. Black 5 frowned as he heard the comment. Less than two days ago he was fighting with these people...and now, he was slaughtering them. Black 5 was killing ONI personnel to get a mission done, and it all felt right. Black 5 heard the marines and Agents leave, a few moments later the power went out. Black 5 used this to his advantage and charged the barricade of soldiers. Black 5 sprayed his SMG at the barricade, killing one of the marines. Just as the backup generators came online, Black 5 had jumped over the barricade and kicked a marine in the head, shattering his skull. The next thing Black 5 knew was there was a shotgun near his face. The ONI Agent cocked the shotgun, but before he could fire it, Black 5 knocked it away with his arm. Suddenly, a marine grabbed him from behind, but Black 5 flipped the marine over and into the ONI Agent. Black 5 turned to see two more marines, the closest one he charged at and lifted him onto his shoulder. Using his free arm, Black 5 removed his Socom from the holster and fired at the second marine, killing him. Black 5 then dropped the marine he was carrying. The marine landed onto his neck, breaking it, and dying instantly. Black 5 then turned to the marine and Agent on the floor. He shot one bullet at the marine and then moved to the Agent, hovering the Socom over his head for a few moments. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the Agent spoke. ONI Agent: What are you? Black 5 pondered the question. What was he? What was this thing controlling him? What was killing these ONI soldiers? What was causing this mayhem inside of him and outside? Black 5 could think of only one thing. Black 5: Destruction... Black 5 paused and looked at the Agent. Black 5: I...I'm sorry. Black 5 then fired a single shot into the Agent's head. He then looked upwards...surrounding the area were areas charred by the grenades he had thrown, pools of blood and twenty-five soulless bodies. Twenty-five men dead because of him. Twenty-five dead human beings. Black 5 sat there for a few moments, just staring at the Socom in his hand...staring at what he had caused. But before long he snapped out of the trance he was in. Footsteps, off to the left...and a very familiar voice. Carmicle: Approaching the command center, t-mius: two minutes. Before Black 5 could react, five ONI Agents were standing at the far end of the hallway. Five ONI Agents that he used to fight with...five ONI Agents that he came to like...five ONI Agents that he saved...and five ONI Agents that wanted him dead. Folee: Contact! Twelve o'clock! Open fire! Black 5's eyes widened, he made a dash towards the command center. Behind him were five experienced and vengeful ONI Agents...and a shitload more of ONI personnel on the way. The irony of the whole situation was that...the person they were fighting for...was the same person they were trying to kill. At least, it was the same person on the outside.

Foxtrot: Fuck, looks like the system crashed. Tango: You know what they say, fuck the system. Whiskey nodded her head and the trio continued deeper into the darker ONI facility. With all systems offline, it could only mean that someone, or a group more likely, was at the command center. Foxtrot: Let's go check it out. Expect the worst. The trio double timed it towards the command center.

[Naked Crook]

Black 1 looked at the rest of Black Team. Black 1: Alright...let's move out. We need to find Black 5...then find those DNA samples...and then get the hell out of here. Clear? The rest of Black Team nodded. Black 1: Move out!

[lynksys]

On the way towards the command center, Whiskey, Tango, and Foxtrot spotted an area littered with ONI corpses. On the FOF radar showed 5 friendlies, their tags indicating that they were the ONI agents who were a part of the late Agent Jacob's unit. They seemed to be in pursuit of someone dressed in black ODST armor. Perhaps a member of the Trusts Black Team? Tango: Let's not interfere. Things could get massy and well more than likely just be a hindrance. Foxtrot: Agreed. Lets find a way around. Whiskey: There's an air duct that will lead us right into the command center. We should be able to slip in using that. Foxtrot: Let's use that then. Stay frosty. While on the way to the air vent, Stolt relayed a message to the King Raven II Stolt: Trust Black Team spotted in the Citadel. Advise that all non Special Force personnel to remain outside of compound.

The Pelican with Seth lands on Midnight a few kilometers south of Citadel base. Seth: Unload the ammo crates. Fola sets a charge on the crates. Seth: Whats that for? Fola: If we have to retreat we blow the ammo, so don't fuel them. Seth: Good thinking. We are to move in. Anyone with a map, contact at 4 o'clock! Seth aims his rifle starts to breath slowly pulls the trigger steadily, the round exits out of the chamber and puts a round into a ONI Marine's head. The body falls to the ground, the rest of the ONI Marines nearby open fire. Seth: Just what I wanted. Kill them all. The team getting behind barricades open fires on the ONI marines one by one Marines falling. Seth blind fires and shoots a Marine's knee out him being the last marine of that team. Fola: Sir more contacts coming. Seth: Good let them come. Fola: Now would be a good time to pray, 4 squads coming for us. Seth: Lets give them a fight,

Meanwhile: Hayes was on the bridge of The King Raven. He was directing and coordinating the military effort to defend The Citadel. Hayes turned when he heard one of the ONI officers call his name. ONI Officer: Sir...I am picking up contacts...lots of them. Sensors indicate that we have multiple Pelicans heading towards Midnight. They are moving at top speed...coming right at us. Hayes: They are sending assault teams in. There is a Trust ship somewhere in this system. They might be using Stealth technology. Those are short range ships...they cannot go that far. Hayes paused. Hayes: Bring point defense weapons online...and begin targeting those Pelicans. We have to take out as many as we can! Signal the fleet...order all deck guns on those Pelicans. Hopefully...we can begin to cut their numbers down. Hayes then turned to Temple. Hayes: Status report on our defensive teams? Temple: We have deployed squads 41, 42, and 43 successfully. Preparing to green light squads 44, 45, and 46. Hayes: Have we heard anything from The Citadel? Temple: A lot of comm chatter. From what we can tell...a single team managed to infultrate the base, and are now wrecking havoc! Hayes scoffed. He was going to issue another order, but he was cut off by HAWK. HAWK: Sir...I have lost contact with The Citadel. Their computer systems are no longer responding! Hayes: Attempt to re-establish. HAWK: Sir...this is not a connection issue. The entire Citadel has gone dark. I cannot communicate with any sub-system. Sir...the defenses around The Citadel could very well be offline! Hayes looked at HAWK. Hayes: WHAT!? Hayes sighed. Hayes: HAWK...I don't care what you have to do...just get those defenses back online! HAWK: But sir...if I cannot... Hayes glared at HAWK. Hayes: HAWK...find a way! Get it done! HAWK: Aye sir...

Harrison was listening closely to the Agent's and TF117's progress through the Citadel. He was bent over his command terminal, watching a feed from Limos' helmet. Limos: In pursuit of one of the members of ODST Black Team, unknown which one it is. I repeat...ODST Black Team is inside the Citadel! Harrison looked upwards to the hologram of Shadow. Shadow knew what she had to do...relay the message to the rest of the teams and that's what she did. Harrison turned back to the feed on Limos' helmet. The Agent's were running after Black 5, who had managed to catch up to the five marines and Agents that had retreated prior. He mowed them down with his SMG and the Agents saw the whole thing. Limos: We're gonna need backup in the command center, five more casualties. Harrison grunted, he watched the camera feed. Suddenly, Limos had to turn into cover as Black 5 unloaded a hail of gunfire on the team of Agents. Harrison: Agent! Status? Limos: He fired on us, must be close to the command center Admiral. We're moving as fast as we can. After a few moments the Agents fired back and then broke from cover, following Black 5. Black 5 had managed to make it to the command center as he pushed the button to open the door. In front of him, were the four other members of Black Team. Black 5 looked at them, and then behind him. Black 5: I'd get down boys. Behind him Black team could hear the footsteps of the approaching Agents. Meanwhile on the Crimson Shadow: Harrison saw that the Agents were catching up to Black team so he looked upwards to his deck crew. Deck Officer: Admiral, detecting multiple Trust pelicans heading to the planet's surface. Shadow: Admiral, with the Citadel's systems offline those pelicans will have a direct chance to the base. Harrison: Bring point defense systems online, get our Sabre and Longsword teams out there on the double Shadow!
