A door slides open. Two Special Operations Sangheili cover the entrance with Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifles while Special Operations Unggoy file in. The Elite cautiously advance, followed by Rtas, The Arbiter and Tesa. Rtas pauses ans sniffs the air.
"What is it?" The Arbiter asks.
"That stench... I've smelled it before." Rtas states.
Juggernaut
e assault team proceeds through a small room, where a large tank containing some small, floating, fleshy lifeforms can be seen. The team approaches a doorway, and through the transparent floor of the next room below, they can see the shadows of Heretics and strange creatures battling. Eventually, all of the Heretics are killed. The victorious creatures have familiar screams....
"By the Rings. What is that?" An Elite asks, and Grunt whimpers. "Quiet."
The creatures all leave through another doorway.
"It's moved on." Tesa says. "Quickly, before it returns, let's find the Heretic Leader and finish him off."
The team moves into a laboratory, strewn with deformed corpses. Tesa kneels down to a few and hums as she inspects it.
"They are here..." Tesa mutters.
"What happened here?" An Elite questions.
"Me have bad feeling about this." A Grunt says.
"You always have bad feeling!" Another Grunt states. "You had bad feeling about morning food nipple!"
"Close your jaws, or I shall bind them shut!" The Elite yells.
A floating orb enters the room, and the image of the Heretic Leader appears in the air.
"See! Heretic!" The Grunt fires on the image, which quickly becomes apparent as a hologram and nothing more.
"Hold your fire!" Rtas orders. "Hold your fire!"
Sesa 'Refumee notices the Arbiter. "I was wonder who the Prophets would send to silence me. An Arbiter... I'm flattered."
"He's using a holodrone. He must be close." Rtas then speaks to Sesa. "Come out, so we may kill you."
Sesa laughs. "Get in line." He vanishes an the drone flies away.
Moments later, tiny bulbous creatures start to appear.
"Leader!" An Elite calls out.
"Stand firm!" Rtas shouts. "The Flood is upon us!"
"Destroy the bodies!" Tesa shouts as she slices a corpse on the ground in half with her energy dagger.
The Elites use their energy sword to destroy the corpses, so the Flood can't reanimate them.
"Heretic fools!" An Elite yells. "What have they done?"
After several minutes of fighting Pod infectors, the assault subsides, and a doorway opens out of the labs.
"Go, Arbiter!" Rtas yells. "I'll follow when our reinforcements arrive."
The Arbiter, Tesa and the Special Operations team exit the lab, and step out onto a massive elevator platform. Flood and sentinels are battling each otehr all around.
"This place is filled with the parasite, not even Heretics deserves this." An Elite whispers.
The Arbiter, Tesa and the survivors ride the elevator down to the lower levels of the labs, fighting multiple waves of Flood and Sentinels along the way. They finally reach the bottom and enter a hallway strewn with corpses.
