August 30, 2552 16:52 Hours

Dot COM: Noble Leader, seek immediate medical attention.

The view zooms in and follows the Pelican.'

Dot(COM): Noble Leader, please respond.

*Cut to the cockpit of the Pelican, with Noble Six moving closer to the pilot seat. Suddenly, several plasma bolts hit the Pelican, impacting Noble Six, flickering the Spartan's shields. The view turns to the troop bay of the Pelican, and Emile-A239 is seen firing his Grenade Launcher at the two Banshees. Emile concentrates fire on a single Banshee. The grenade detonates close by, and the EMP disables the Banshee, which swoops up and crashes into its wingman. Both are taken out, but the Phantom still pursues. The view switches back to the cockpit, and moves in front of Six. Carter, critically wounded but still in the pilot seat, takes off his helmet and throws it onto the ground. Blood splatters cover the cockpit window.*

Dot(COM): Please'' respond, Sierra Two-Five-Nine. You are alarming me.

Carter turns back to Noble Six. His face is bloodied, and his armor is charred from plasma fire.

Carter: (strained but calm) Not sure how long she's gonna stay together. Skies are jammed up anyways. Got to get you off here, Lieutenant.

The view faces a critically injured Carter. Noble Six, grabbing the pilot chair, looks up.

Six: Sir, you-

Carter: Don't wanna hear it. Get the Package to the Autumn.

Six: Done.

Carter: Not yet, it's not... Emile, go with him/her. It's a ground game now.

The view switches to Emile, who drops his emptied Grenade Launcher and makes a fist-to-chest salute. In the background, two more Banshees appear.

Emile: It's been an honor, sir.

Carter: Likewise... I'll do what I can to draw their fire.

Six turns and walks to the troop bay

Carter: Six. That A.I chose you... She made the right choice.

The Pelican turns and makes the pursuing Phantom out of sight. Six and Emile position at the Pelican's tail, ready to jump off. Holding the AI Package tightly, Six crouches down as Emile grips the Pelican. Carter counts down with his fingers.''

Carter: On my mark.

Carter counts down to zero.

Carter: Mark!

Six and Emile jump out, and the view switches to Six's point of view. They slide down a canyon, energy shields depleting. They come to a rough stop by impacting the ground. Six looks up as his or her and Emile's shields recharge. Carter's Pelican flies over them, Banshees in hot pursuit. Six turns back, checks the armored matrix for damage, then places the AI data storage unit on his back. They look up to the road ahead.

Six POV

Emile and I walked to the other side of the cliff looking around the area to when Emile said "Still with us Commander?" Carter was buying us time so we could deliver this package along with Rook to the Autumn. "Stay low, let me draw the heat. You just deliver that Package." Emile and I could see Carter being tailed by two banshees as he turned left. We were far from the autumn but close enough that we could see the ship which Emile points out. "There's our destination, Six the Pillar of Autumn. Race you to her." Emile said. We head right seeing as it's better we can catch the group of covies off guard and take em' out before they alert more forces. I jump down the small little cliff and spot a grunt separate from the group patrolling by me. I grabbed my Magnum and head shot the grunt, the shot alerted the rest of the covies, here now it's fight I begin firing at the group on the left consisting of 3 Grunts and a Elite general, my sights were on the Elite. I unloaded an entire clip to knock down his shields.
