[Halo] New! Halo RPG Pt. 11

Hayes: Let's get going. I will walk with you to the hanger bay to get your team together. Hayes nodded, signalling James to lead the way. Meanwhile: ODST Black Team was gearing up a dozen Scorpion Tanks in preparation for the attack. Black 2: So boss...what exactly is the objective here? Is this one of those missions where civilians are target practice...or are we going after something specific? Black 1: Our mission is to "escort"...and I cannot wrap enough quotes around "escort", Admiral Kolya into The ONI Building...and find out exactly what the hell ONI is doing on this planet. Black 2: I am sure we can guess that Intel. ONI is here because they want to have another colony under their banner... Black 1: Possibly...but ONI is not a humanitarian aid organization. They are military. They only do things for a reason...and damn good reasons. Black 2: Well...lets hope they have something good for us... Black 2 laughed. Black 2: But I do need to ask...are civilians game? Black 1: What do you think? When have they never been game? Black 2 laughed again. Black 2: That is what I thought. Just checking.

James led the way to the hangar, where his team was already waiting for him. Before James could say something Edward chimed in. Edward: "You don't have to say anything, Boss. We wouldn't have let you left without us! We're all set to go and the Pelican is ready. Ready to go home?" James took a deep breath. James: "Yes, without a doubt." Everyone lined up near the Pelican's back but kept space between the middle of the line. Edward: "Captains first, Sir!"

Hayes looked at Edward and nodded. He stepped onto the Pelican and grabbed one of the overhead handles to keep his balance. Hayes: I am ready to go when you folks are.

Jacob walked with Asher inside his office and took a seat. Jacob: Got any of those golden leaves? Asher: Of course we do! Asher laughed and placed a plate of them in front of Jacob. Jacob removed his helmet and began the process of getting the honey from the leaves. Asher: So, what brings you here, Agent? Jacob: Like I said ONI wanted to check in. I was sent in first to make sure everything is alright before the big guys come...I think. Asher: You think? Jacob: No one tells me anything anymore. Jacob laughed and ate another leaf. Asher: Things are good, ONI has kept their word. Jacob: That is what they do. How are the peacekeepers? Asher: They keep to themselves, but occasionally make small talk. Jacob smiled and ate another leaf. Asher did the same. Asher: A lot of Aurigaens have left though, headed to the great beyond. Jacob: I have seen a few in transit already...they can make it. Asher smiled. They both ate another leaf. Meanwhile on the Thermopylae: Alexander had remained silent during the proceeding, but spoke up. Alexander: Mother, if I may say...this mission was meant for one of my Spartans. Alexander paused and looked at Shogun. Alexander: Not to say Z-048 could not handle it...but it required much stealth. Send one of my Spartans, or even me, to Aurigae VI, we will do the utmost job, find Z-048 and return her. Alexander leaned forward in his seat and looked at Mary. Alexander: The Trust has struck everywhere, my Spartans have reported that. If our neutrality stays we will be attacked and not on our own terms. Mother, I say this with the utmost respect, but it is time for us to take action.

Decoy: Aurigae VI is under the very watchful eyes of both ONI, and the Trust...We had enough trouble shipping just one Spartan... Truth be told, We considered sending one of your spartans Alexander. However, in most cases with "Orphan Drive" missions...Jetpack Spartans tend to have enough guile to suffice, and are able to move about more freely... Children also get a kick out of those jetpacks... Shogun placed his hands on the side of his helmet, and sighed. Decoy: Perhaps a Recon Spartan could have carried out the mission by now, we do not have enough intelligence to come to a conclusion

[Hells Sniper]

Alexander: All of your Spartans are capable, but we should have focused on more recon and less recruiting at the moment. Alexander paused. Alexander: This is just another colony for ONI, as with all colonies they lose their eyes on it eventually. Alexander sat back in his seat. Alexander: That is all I have to say. If she has defected, she has left us. If she is dead...we have lost another great one.

[cubanpete24]

Rufus snickered Rufus: Is she was so great...then she wouldn't have died...or defected... Shogun: You're quick to question the competence of my spartans Rufus... When the reason behind these Orphan Drives was to recoup your losses... Rufus: Well maybe more Grunts would survive...if they were better equipped! I've seen paper mâché tougher than their armor! Decoy: You two are derailing the topic at hand... again... Shogun scoffed, as Rufus mumbled. Mary: Even through all this bickering...we still haven't even discussed the point of this meeting... How, are we going to deal, with the Trust... Mary spoke slowly, as if she was speaking to children.

[Hells Sniper]

Alexander: Learn from them. Alexander paused and leaned forward once again. Alexander: We need to learn the Trust's tactics...and find a way for us to overwhelm them. That is why we need reconnaissance on them. If we don't know what we are up against, we lose more Spartans.

Edward: "You're next, Boss!" James followed in behind Hayes and he took a seat. The rest of the team followed in behind James. First Rewill, then Aelis, and finally Edward. Rewill followed Hayes' notion and grabbed a handle. The other two took seats across from James. James then looked to Hayes. James: "Ready when you are, Sir."

[Naked Crook]

Hayes: Let's do it! Hayes turned his head to face the cockpit. Hayes: Pilot! Punch it!
