The Start Of Something Great

IMS Forerunner

We now we're battling on the hull of the IMS Forerunner trying to get in their hanger but they just kept sending grunts up to fight us.

Buck: how the fuck are we supposed to get to the bridge if we can't get in the hanger?!
Ray: I don't know.
Red: Carver you got any ideas?
Carver: give me a second.

While we were getting shot at I had to think on the fly and it hit me like a train IMC ships have a connected  ventilation throughout the whole ship. And now I had a very bad idea and the IMC wanted to take care of us for good as now they are deploying two titans: a Ronin and Ion Titan.

Jean: Craver now would be a good time for a plan.
Carver: I got one. Jean I need you to call your Titan down and distract the enemy Titans.
Buck: what about the rest of us?
Carver: Buck I want you, Red, and Heavy to help Jean. Ray you are going with me.
Ray: what's the plan?
Carver: all IMC Ships have connected ventilation throughout their ships so if we get in the cargo hold and find a vent we can sneak our way to the bridge and get the data.
Buck: you better not die in their that's an order.
Carver: aye aye sir.

Buck went over and explained the plan to Red and Heavy while me, Ray and Jean held the grunts back as the Titans were almost on top of us. Jean called Atlas in on top of the ronin as Red and Heavy we're attacking it effectively distracting the enemy pilot from the real danger. One moment their was Ronin then the next it was replaced by a Atlas Titan that had crushed it. Jean ran to her Titan and Atlas picked her up and put Jean in the cockpit releasing control to Jean who promptly started attacking the Ion. This distraction allowed me and Ray to run over to the elevator and head down into the cargo hold. When we reached the cargo hold the few grunts that were in their were taken out in second.

Ray: now what?
Carver: look up their. I said as I pointed at a vent

Me and Ray ran for the vent. Once we got there Ray broke the bolts off the grate allowing me and her to crawl inside. We started crawling through the ducts with a small map on our huds using a dot of are position and another dot of were the bridge was to guide us to it and eventually we made it to the bridge and it sounded like they were struggling.

IMC Captain: were did these soldiers come from!
IMC Ship Pilot: I don't know sir I don't have any Ships on the radar.
IMC Captain: start ascending get us in orbit.
IMC Ship Pilot: Yes sir.

Back in the vent Ray and I heard all of the conversation. As they watched on in a matter of seconds the pilot started the ascent to get in orbit. Ray kicked the vent cover off and hoped out pulling her RE-45 out and shooting the two guards in the left side of the room. I jumped out behind her unholstering my RE-45 and shooting the pilot, copilot and putting 2 rounds in the capitans head.

Ray: Clear.
Carver: Ray I'm going to start downloading the data you stop the ascent.

I looked over the the capitans console and found a port to put my data knife in the slot and started downloading everything on top secret bases. As I'm downloading the data I heard Ray call out to me.

Ray: Carver the ship is set to ascend automatically and my data knife can't get through the encryption.
Carver: what how is that possible?
Ray: I don't fucking know but we need to go.
Carver: agreed let's go.

I said as my knife finished downloading the data. I decided to radio Buck.

Carver: *over radio* Buck call for an evac. The ship is stuck automatically going into orbit.
Buck: *over radio* are you kidding. Ok hold on.

A few seconds go by then Buck comes back on the radio.

Buck: *over radio* we got ships coming down but the Dawn say they are detecting a distress call from the Forerunner.
Carver: *over radio* fuck they must have detected us we are almost at the cargo bay. *I said as me and Ray crawled through the vents*
Buck: *over radio* you don't have long move your ass.

Me and Ray crawled a bit faster now that we knew we didn't have long. Me and Ray made it to the cargo bay and saw a small group of grunts. Dropping down me and Ray made quick work of the grunts and ran for the cargo lift sending it up. When the lift made it to the top of the ship we saw Jean pining a tone Titan down and firing a salvo of missiles into the chassis killing the IMC pilot. Atlas stood up and opened her hatch showing Jean. Jean pointed towards one of the edges of the ship making me and Ray look over seeing the rest of the squad  getting in a goblin Dropship. Jean closed Atlas's cockpit and ran over to the window Dropship and loaded up her and Atlas.
The window Dropship closes it's hatch and heads up to the MCS Dawn. Me and Ray were in dead sprints and if we had jump kits we would be running at breakneck speeds but alas no jump kits. When Ray made it she hopped in making me the last one to jump in we all looked back and saw two more Titans come up from the cargo bay a Stryder and a Northstar. The Stryder aimed it's 40mm at the Dropship and fired a round hitting it causing it to shake and with the duffle jolt and shake of the Dropship I fell out.

Ray: CARVER!
Buck: Pilot hold still!
Pilot: I can't that Stryder will shoot us down. Closing hatch.

The Dropship's hatch closed and the Dropship started to take off. I looked up and opened a channel with Buck and the Pilot as I took cover from the gunfire coming from the Titans

Carver: *over radio* any idea on how to get out of this. Sir.
Buck: *over radio* I currently don't but if you get one let me know.
Pilot: I can fly around but I can't hold still that Stryder will take us out.
Carver: *over radio* give me a second to think.

I peaked over my cover and fired my rifle at the grunts firing at me dropping a few. I took cover again and looked to my left slightly then back to my rifle then snapped my view back to my left spotting one of the turbines then it clicked in my head. Probably my stupidest idea.

Carver: *over radio* Buck can you drop me two satchel charge's.
Buck: *over radio* yeah we can. Pilot get us close and open the hatch.
Pilot: *over radio* we got to make this quick.

The pilot opened the left hatch of the Dropship and flew over to me where he hovered over me and I saw two satchel charge's and come down as the Dropship took off again closing the hatch. I grabbed the satchel charge's and detonator. I armed them and ran twords the giant turbine. When I got to the turbine I threw the charges on center mechanism and clicked the detonator blowing up the turbine. The Forerunner then jolted making me start sliding down the ship. I looked down and opened coms with the Dropship.

Carver: *over radio* pilot I could use a pickup!
Pilot: *over radio* I see you.

I looked down and saw the green forest of Holly right next to the planets Ocean. It would have been a beautiful view if it wasn't for the fact I would fall to my death down their. I heard the roar of the Dropship as it came into view sideways with it's left hatch open and I knew what the pilot wanted me to do. I jumped off the Forerunner's hull and fell inside the Dropship. The pilot heard the thud and closed the hatch quickly flying up to the MCS Dawn.

Buck: you are one crazy SOB. *He said helping me up*
Ray: that was fucking awesome. *She said hugging me*
Carver: let just get back on the Dawn. *I said taking off my helmet*
