Harrison was sitting in his office, reading Anderson's service record and talking to him at the same time. Harrison: Lieutenant Anderson. Harrison was unsure of how to go about asking for the Lieutenant's help without seeming like he was going behind Reynolds. But, he kept his cool. He was used to asking for vague favors and things of like. Harrison: How are you, LT? I trust everything on board the Mind's Attrition is running smoothly? Meanwhile: Liam slammed directly into Jessica and both fell to the ground. Liam realized that Anaconda was pushing for a quick win and looked at Jessica. Liam: Romeo-Alpha-Alpha. Jessica nodded, they had gone through tons of simulations with so many different strategies that Liam began to implement a three worded code to differentiate them. ROA - Rockets Above Anaconda. Liam immediately stood and looked at Anaconda, who was breathing furiuosly. Liam smiled as he stepped a few feet from Jessica and began to encircle him. He put up his hands, taunting him, taking the attention from Jessica and putting it back onto him. Liam: Damn, maybe we should just give up now? Liam continued to encircle Anaconda, he wasn't charging, but Liam knew he was getting ready. Liam: Never thought I'd see the day where Anaconda never thought to actually try and kill a Spartan. The last comment definitely did something to Anaconda, but just as he was about to charge, Jessica had readied the rockets. She fired one at the ceiling above Anaconda. The explosion was a direct hit above Anaconda, causing his shields to falter and for him to stumble a bit. Jessica fired another round at the corner of the wall and the ceiling. The blast vicinity was close to Liam, but not close enough for him to loose his shields. Anaconda's however, began to falter. Then, the ceiling began to collapse directly on top of him. Little by little, pieces began to fall. Then, the entire ceiling and part of the wall gave way, hitting Anaconda with enormous pieces of debris. Liam and Jessica regrouped. Liam removed the shotgun from his back and nodded. Down the hallway, Savannah was still charging Nighthawk. The rounds impacted her chest, and her shields took most of the hits, but she could tell they were faltering. Seconds before they did, Savannah hit Nighthawk in the gut with her entire body massing, sending him and her down the hallway. Savannah stood over Nighthawk's body as he laid on the ground. She sent a hard punch to his abdomen, causing him to loose the grip on his magnums. She grabbed both of them from his hands in a quick flash and threw them behind her, into the falling ceiling.

Anderson took a moment to think about the question. He then confidently replied. Anderson: "Yes Sir. Everything is fine. We have damage control teams finishing up minor repairs. The Doc is patching up those who came back from the surface. I assume Captain Reynolds is on his way back?"

[Hells Sniper]

Harrison nodded. Harrison: That is good news. Keep them working, LT. You are doing a fine job. Harrison paused. Harrison: And yes, Captain Reynolds will be returning shortly. Harrison paused again, he thought for a few moments before continuing. Harrison: In any case, LT. I'll let you get back to work. I just want to let you know that I may be calling upon your assistance in the future. It is my understanding that Captain Reynolds has a lot on his plate, oh, with Lt. Commander Cochraine's recent injuries and other burdens. I would choose to let him focus on his job and not pester him about matters of the ship and routines. Harrison paused, he smiled. Harrison: I will be contacting you in the near future, simple updates and matters like that. How is Commander Cochraine doing? I chose not to ask Reynolds due to their...relationship.

Jennifer looked at Robertson, with a hint of curiosity. Jennifer: A Stealth generator? Jennifer winced her eyes, as if she was thinking. To the trained eye, this was a clear sign that she knew more than the layman did. Jennifer: You said "permanently disable"? What do you mean by that? What did you do to it? Meanwhile: Nighthawk shook his head as he hit the ground after being thrown. The sound of the ceiling above them breaking apart made him look upwards. Nighthawk began to roll out of the way, wincing his eyes as he did. The reason for this was because of the blow that Savannah had delivered to his abdomen. Nighthawk felt it, and he was feeling the after effects of the blow. According to his HUD, Nighthawk had a fractured rib. Nighthawk managed to move out of the way before the ceiling began to fall apart. He managed to avoid most of the larger debris, only being hit by the much smaller debris. Anaconda, on the other hand, found himself buried by some of the larger debris. However, slowly but surely, he began to push his way out. Anaconda was a bit shaken, and defiantly not in the best shape, but he could still stand. Nighthawk also managed to slowly get back to his feet. The two stood back to back, as Nighthawk looked at Savannah, and Anaconda looked at Liam and Jessica. Nighthawk: They have us outnumbered...and they have me outclassed. If there was only one or two of them...this wouldn;t be so bad... Nighthawk paused. He looked upwards again and saw that there was now a pretty large hole in the ceiling. Nighthawk watched as the sunlight came in from the hole in the roof. He then had an idea. NIghthawk: HAWK...I am going to need one final equipment drop...and my exact location. HAWK: What am I dropping? Nighthawk: I need you to drop The Cyclops... HAWK: Nighthawk...It isn't done! Nighthawk: I am aware of that. I need it now! HAWK was silent for a moment. He then spoke up. HAWK: Engaging atmosphere thrusters...and preparing for deployment. ETA...60 seconds. Nighthawk: This is going to be a very long minute... Nighthawk nudged Anaconda in the back. Nighthawk: We need to hold out buddy. I am going to need you at the top of your game...because I am nowhere near mine right now. Anaconda grunted, and nodded. He knew that for the next 60 seconds that it was either live or die. Anaconda held his Hammer in his right hand, as he used his left hand to grab one of his Spikers. Nighthawk, on the other hand, drew his Shotgun. He aimed it at Savannah, while Anaconda took aim at Jessica. Concurrently: As Nighthawk and Anaconda were fighting Liam, Savannah, and Jessica,, Xyrho held one of his energy blades in his right hand, slowly moving towards Lyle. However, the first thing Xyrho did, was very unorthodox, in the sense that it was a tactic that was not employed by many Elites. Xirho had reached reached onto his belt, and pulled off two small orbs that were attached. Using his left hand, he activated them both at the same time, and let them lift off into the air. They began to glow. Xyrho has just activated two holodrones. The two holodrones had materialized two Spec-OP Elites, one of them armed with two Plasma Repeaters, while the other was armed with a Carbine. With his left hand now free, Xyrho drew his second energy blade, and stared at Lyle. Xyrho: Alright Human...you barely stood a chance when it was just me. let's see how you fare now...

Savannah held her assault rifle high in the air and saw Liam and Jessica had their weapons out and ready too. Liam looked around, he could tell that Anaconda was shaken and Nighthawk was not going to fare well against Savannah. He nodded and spoke into his radio. Liam: Delta-Sigma-Echo. DSE - Distract, Separate, Engage. Jessica nodded and immediately darted to the side of Anaconda to get his attention. She was still carrying her rockets and was obviously the greater threat of the two. Liam on the other hand moved into the hole in the wall, disappearing from Anaconda's point of view. Savannah simply began to fire at Nighthawk, aiming for the weaker areas of his armor that they had studied. Jessica ran around Anaconda and dropped a grenade behind him and Nighthawk. They could both hear the grenade drop and immediately began to run the opposite way of each other. The explosion disorientated the room, Nighthawk and Anaconda were now several meters from each other, and dazed. Liam saw this and took his change, breaking from cover and regrouping with Jessica to fire at Anaconda. Savannah also took her advantage and ran to Nighthawk, moving his shotgun out of the way just as he fired it. She threw another punch at Nighthawk's abdomen, stumbling him. Meanwhile: Lyle could obviously tell that Desmond was waiting for the perfect chance to strike. For the time being, Xyrho thought it was a three against one fight. Lyle shrugged and fired his sniper at Xyrho and the holograms, draining his extended clip and causing him to fall back, reloading. He was luring the three elites to his position so Desmond could jump out and take care of the holograms. On the other side of the hallway: Dangerus was being swarmed by gunfire from both Emma and William. He swung his hammer at the two, causing both of them to jump backwards. Jacob knew he had to fight, or the Risk-Takers would never allow him to follow them back to their ship, and they would ultimately engage him as a hostile. Jacob cursed under his breath and broke from cover. He fired two shots at Dangerus, the first impacting his shields and the second scraping against his arm. Dangerus grunted and ran at Jacob, but before he hit him, William had taken Jacob's place. William rammed against Dangerus and the two hit each other with such force that they both went flying back into a wall.

Nighthawk stumbled back as Savannah had struck him again. However, he knew that he had to keep his footing, despite how much pain he was in. HAWK: 30 Seconds. You might want to move from your current position. When this thing hits the ground...it is going to do some serious damage to the surrounding area. Nighthawk;s eyes grew wide in anticipation. He knew that this could be used to his advantage. Nighthawk: Noted for future reference. Nighthawk then watched as Savannah approached him. Nighthawk kept backing up. HAWK: Nighthawk...you are getting closer to the target point. That is the opposite of what I said. Nighthawk ignored HAWK. However, Nighthawk did raise his Shotgun and took aim at Savannah. Anticipating that she would try to evade, and point it away, Nighthawk took a single step backwards, out of range of her reach, and proceeded to fire. The buckshot impacted her chest, tearing into her shields. Nighthawk cocked the shotgun, and proceeded to fire once again. This time, he managed to tear through Savannah's shields, and he started to shred the armor on her chest. He had actually managed to do physical damage. HAWK: 15 Seconds... Concurrently: Anaconda had regained his senses just as Liam and Jessica had started to fire at him. Anaconda fought through the bullets, and charged at both Liam and Jessica. He took aim with his Spike and returned fire, as he ran at both Liam and Jessica. As he ran past the two, his shields began to fail, but he did manage to get close enough to slam the blade of his Spiker right into Jessica's side. Anaconda had managed to embed the blade right into Jessica's side. As he pulled the Spiker out, the sharp, yet jagged, edges of the spiker tore through the body suit and her flesh. The result was a large ejection of blood from Jessica's torso. Anaconda had just sliced into Jessica's side. The wound was by no means fatal, but it was very serious, and very deep. Jessica had fallen to the ground as a result. Anaconda then wasted no time in throwing himself right at Liam, and cross-checking him right into the wall. Anaconda then roared, as he put the barrel of the Spiker right up to Liam's chest, and pulled the trigger, firing the other half of his clip at point blank range. The sheer proximity allowed the spikes to hit with maximum force. Anaconda snarled in Liam's face, as his Spiker pelted Liam's armor with spikes. Meanwhile: The impact of the Sniper rounds caused the Holodrones to flicker, but not totally shut down. Both of the holodrones took aim at Lyle, laying down fire on the Spartan, as Xyrho himself zig-zagged towards Lyle, and swung one of his sword,s cutting the barrel of his Sniper Rifle off. With little more than a Broken Sniper Rifle, Xyrho decided to take the initiative, as he jumped in the air, and swung his leg, driving his hoof right into the side of Lyle's head. The force of Impact knocked Lyle to the side, stopping him in his tracks.

Anderson: "She is doing well. The Doc says she'll be fit within the hour. Last I knew she was still going through the last bit of physical therapy. Then back to bridge duty with me." Anderson let out a small chuckle of laughter. Anderson: "Okay Sir. I will be standing by whenever you call." Meanwhile: Reynolds and Cochraine returned to the Mind's Attrition and make their way to the bridge, independent from each other. Meanwhile: Robertson: "Well, the engineer showed me the console that operated the machine. When the alarms went off, I shot it with my shotgun. There wasn't time for big explosives, sad to say."

[Naked Crook]

Jennifer: I don't think I have made myself clear soldier. let me rephrase. Is the Stealth Generator itself damaged? Jennifer paused. Jennifer: This is very important! You must be totally certain in your response.

[Kairu]

Robertson: "I doubt it. I mean, I didn't physically go near it and the few times I looked at it, no one was near it. Honestly, I had a bunch of ODSTs converging on my location. I was in a control room overlooking the entire engineering level."

[Naked Crook]

Jennifer: Lead us back there. I want to see it. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: Robertson...take point on the double. Cameron, take up the rear, and keep eyes on our six. Provide cover if necessary. Be ready to take point upon my order. Cameron: Yes ma'am. Jennifer looked at Robertson, and waited for him to turn around, and lead them back towards where he had come from.
