[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

"Roger that." The pilot said, cutting the engines and beginning the docking sequence. "Good to be back, eh?" The pilot asked no one in particular, just to anyone that was listening. He didn't take his eyes off of what he was doing, however.

Fireteam Harmony stood at attention, saluting Burke. Arman: "Thank you, Sir." On the surface Vhat turned to look at Xyrho. Vhat: "It's nearly here, Shipmaster. I would estimate another minute of waiting." Sure enough, as though it was on cue, the phantom could be spotted in the distance approaching the LZ.

Harrison nodded as he passed along a PDA to one of his officers on the desk. Harrison: Roger that, Captain. I'll be on my way shortly. Just checking in with my last few teams. Expect my arrival shortly, Harrison out. With that Harrison cut the comm line and looked at his roster for the unaccounted teams. One caught his eye. Harrison: LT, get me a line to Sergeant Athios. Athios: This is Sergeant Athios, sir! Harrison: Sergeant, status? Athios: En route back to the ship, sir. We were on our way to reinforce the teams engaging the Trust forces, but fell back once we heard the call. All members accounted for. Harrison could hear some murmuring in the background. Athios: Sir, any word on our wounded? Harrison: Two still in critical, Sarge. Once this overflow of wounded are taken care of, you are more than welcomed to see your friends. Athios: Thank you, sir. Harrison: Of course. Harrison out. Harrison stood up from his chair, attaching his PDA to his hip and making sure his radio was properly connected to his ear. He grabbed his cup of coffee of his desk and began to walk to the elevator. Harrison: Murphy you have the bridge. Harrison stepped into the elevator and hit the hangar bay button, intent on heading to the King Raven. Meanwhile: Liam kept walking until he eventually made his way to the medbay. Inside he saw Savannah standing there, listening to a nurse talk to them about Emma and William. Liam waited until Savannah to join him and once she did, they began walking to the armory. Savannah: William's lucky he's alive. Emma is fine. I dropped Jessica off with Lyle a few minutes ago. Liam looked at Savannah. Savannah: Eight hours. Liam nodded as they continued on to the armory. Liam: And you? Savannah: I'm solid boss. Liam smiled as they entered the elevator and headed down to the Risk-Takers armory. Meanwhile: Jacob had already arrived at the general armory as he began to lay his weapons and equipment out across the table. In front of him were a few grenades, his sniper rifle, his magnum and a few spare magazines for each. He went over the mission in his head. One sniper clip left, out of eight. 42 rounds because they were all extended. Jacob shook his head and picked up the magnum. It was damaged and he didn't have the energy or the time to fix it. He tossed it into the repair area on the table and turned around, looking at the weapon rack. He walked up and down it a few times, glancing over each weapon until finally he grabbed an assault rifle and placed it on his table. Jacob knew things were going to get hectic and he wanted the weapons to make sure he'd stay alive. He walked away from the table for a few more seconds, going to look at the knives.

Burke looked at Fireteam Harmony, and dismissed them. Burke: The four of you are dismissed. However, I would advise that you at least stick around here for a while if you are at all interested in seeing what we manage to get from Hoffman. Afterall, you were the ones who got him. Might as well see the fruits of your labors. Meanwhile: Xyrho heard the Phantom approach. He looked to the skies and saw it coming in quickly. As the Phantom descended, the gravity lift engaged, allowing entry into the Phantom. Xyrho moved towards the gravity lift, jumping up, and allowing himself to be pulled up into the Phantom. Xyrho waited for Vhat to board the Phantom before giving the order to the Phantom pilot to return to The Perilus Avenger. Meanwhile: Black 1 entered the armory of The Ulterior Motive. Upon entering, he saw Jacob, and the other members of Black Team going over their weapons, resupplying, and ensuring that they were ready for a rapid deployment. Black 1: Black Team...form up, front and center! The other members of Black Team stopped what they were doing, as they gathered in front of Black 1, standing at attention. Black 1: You too Jacob! Front and center! Meanwhile: Nova Team had finally managed to carry Anaconda to the maximum security holding cell. Once they had finally got Anaconda into the holding cell, they dropped him on the ground. Imohtep: Jesus Christ...this thing is heavy! Anubis: You are surprised at this? Look how big it is! Imohtep: Just say, is all. Nova Team walked out of the holding cell, as The Consultant approached the control terminal for the cell. She activated the holding cell, as an energy barrier went up in front of the cell, sealing Anaconda inside. It was very apparent that this technology was re-purposed from Covenant technology for the sole purpose of confining incredibly large targets. The Consultant: That should hold him until he wakes up...and it should hold him even after he wakes up. Anubis: In theory, anyway. Anubis paused. Anubis: So...how is this going to work? The Consultant looked at Nova Team, with a grin. The Consultant: In so few words...I am either going to force The Brute to work with us...or I will be able to convince him. Either way...he will work with us. Osiris: The goal, obvioisly being to use him against The Covenant in a clandestine manner? The Consultant: Exactly. The Consultant paused. The Consultant: My only concern is how long he plans on sleeping for. He has not even moved an inch since he got here. Apophis: Well...he ain't dead...cause I felt him breathing down my neck. He is obviously alive...just really out of it. The Consultant: No matter...I can wait. Meanwhile: The Pelican;s that were carrying the wounded soldiers, as well as Tye, Cameron, and the others, began their docking procedure in The King Raven hanger bay. Once the Pelicans had landed, Tye was the first to step out. As soon as his boots hit the hanger bay floor, he barked out a general order to everyone within the sound of his voice. Tyber: Get the wounded to the medical bay! Cameron, you are with me! With that single order, Tye turned, and walked out of the hanger bay with Cameron in tow.

[Dark-F137]

"Yes sir. C'mon..." Jesse said, helping a marine walk out the the Medical Bay. Dark meanwhile watched as Cameron and Tyber left, but then helped the Marines to the Medical bay, using his superior strength to definitely speed up the process. "I'll need to speak to him later..." He said quietly to himself.

Vhat followed Xyrho into the phantom.

Harrison exited the elevator once it reached his hangar bay. He approached a black pelican with green decals on the side, Harrison's own personal pelican. Harrison entered the pelican and spoke to no one in particular, walking to the cockpit. Harrison: King Raven, on the double. A few moments went by as the pelican started up and a green hologram of a UNSC Admiral appeared. The hologram was a woman, dressed in Naval Officer gowns. The hologram nodded. ???: How goes the fighting, Admiral? Harrison chuckled as he took a seat in the pilots chair. ???: That bad? No matter, shall I play the usual? Harrison nodded. Harrison: Yes, ARC. Symphony 5 this time. The hologram reappeared in a smaller version in front of Harrison as the pelican lifted and music began behind Harrison's ears. Harrison: Have the designs worked so far? ARC: All simulations have failed, Admiral. Harrison chuckled. Harrison: Of course they have. It wasn't long before the pelican lifted off and left the Vigorous Inferno. Meanwhile: Jacob turned around from the knife shelf and looked at Black 1. He watched as the other members of Black team moved over to him, and Jacob ultimately followed suit, lightly jogging to catch up with the others.

Fireteam Harmony stopped saluting and began walking out of the hangar. Each of them took off their helmets as they walked down the halls of the King Raven. Axlon then activated a panel showing a map of the interiors. He noted where the main areas were, the mess hall, armory, bridge, engineering, medbay, and other hangar bays. Axlon pointed towards the armory and took point. Axlon: "Come on, this way."

Black 1 watched as Jacob fell in line. Once he saw Jacob with the others, he began to speak. Black 1: Alright, listen up boys...we have a potential problem brewing. Black 1 paused. He began to walk back and forth. Black 1: As you all know, The Consultant and Nova Team took it upon themselves to subvert the orders of The Risk Takers, by forcing the capture of Anaconda. They brought him back here and have full intention on holding him here. I should not have to explain why this is a security risk. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Suffice to say...pretty much everyone agrees that Nighthawk is going to make a move to try and get The Brute out of captivity. The only place making a move against...would be this ship. We have to be ready for that eventuality. We need to be fully prepared for an all-out attack on this ship. Black 1 paused. Black 1: As far as I am concerned...the damage is done. Nighthawk is coming here, whether or not we kill The Brute. He is coming for liberty or for blood. There will be no stopping it now. The best we can do is mitigate the complexity of such an attack. Black 1 paused again. Black 1: I spoke with Liam, and he and I are in full agreement that the immediate termination of The Brute must happen. He has to die, now! I plan on speaking with Spender about this issue, and I have every intention of trying to convince him of the merits of executing the beast. If I can get his green light for this, and I am confident that I will be able to, I will have the justification I need to consider Nova Team, and The Consultant, a direct threat to the security of The Trust. At that point...we can carry out a bit of house cleaning. Black 1 looked at each member of Black Team. Black 1: In other words...I will need the four of you geared up and ready for combat against Nova Team. Any questions? Black 1 then looked at Jacob. Black 1 was almost convinced that Jacob must have been curious as to why there was such a rivalry between the two teams. Black 1: I think I know what is going through your head. I know there is one question, above all else, floating around in that head of yours. I am sure of it. I just get the feeling that you don't want to ask. Go ahead...ask "that" question... Meanwhile: As Vhat entered the Phantom, Xyrho gave the order to take off. Xyrho: Pilot! Take us to The Perilus Avenger! best possible speed! Xyrho felt the Phantom accelerate, as it flew upwards. Xyrho then looked at Vhat and spoke to him. Xyrho: You fought well. Well done. Your technique is impressive to say the least. Meanwhile: Tye and Cameron had left the hanger bay, as they walked through the corridors. Tyber: We are going to need a new course of action ASAP. Cameron: I guess that is where the interrogation of Hoffman comes into play. Tyber: Exactly. Once we check in with Jennifer, I am going to get everything underway in terms of Hoffman's interrogation. Cameron: It was my understand that Nighthawk was going to be involved with that? The two men entered a waiting elevator. Tye turned and pressed the number 1, in order to take him to the bridge. The elevator doors closed, as the elevator began to move. Tyber: Yeah. That will definatly give us the advantage. Nighthawk is not with The UNSC or ONI...so he can get away with a lot more than we would be able to. He may not be bound by rules and regulations like we are. He will defiantly be able to make Hoffman talk, if nobody else can. Cameron: The one thing I am curious about is if we will be helping him rescue Anaconda from The Trust. The thing is...as bad as The Trust is...that isn't our fight. We should not technically be on the hook for that operation. Tyber: Honestly Cam...those two saved our asses when Harrison was ready to carpet bomb our asses. On a personal level...we may owe them. Cameron: I guess that is true... Cameron paused. Cameron: I guess we do owe them. Tyber: Even if we didn't...they are fightng The Trust. Any enemy of The Trust immediately earns my immediate assistance in their fight. Cameron: I am sure Captain Frost will agree with you. Not sure about Harrison...but Frost will agree.

[Dark-F137]

"Sir." F137's voice would cut in through Tyber's-- And Cameron's -- comms. "I hear tell that we have captured a Trust officer?" He asked as he laid down the Marines he was carrying, with one giving him a thumbs up. He then began walking toward the armory, obviously ill-equiped from the encounter with Nova Team. He spoke as he did this. "I do not believe the Trust will allow such a... Valuable, resource, slip through their fingers. I'd suggest that we be on alert."
