Year-2552
Month-February

Developer-ONI officer Todd Brackett

The human race started millennia ago. In the 21st century we created our first United Nations Space Corp (UNSC) after all human wars ended. We started moving to more planets and created hyperspace bridges. The insurrection began at the end of the 21st century. We created the Spartan program in the 22nd century to fight the insurrection. Then in the 24th century the Covenant first glassed three of our planetary systems. The Human Covenant War had started. Luckily we have the Spartans. But the Covenant has technology beyond our capacity. They have plasma and energy based weapons that could burn through normal human combat gear quickly. We've developed better armor to counter this problem. The Covenant is beating us in this war. It's the year 2552 and now we're on planet Athos, the last defense between the Covenant and a halo ring. The ring is otherwise known as Installation 05. We have not seen any sentinels or guardians on the ring.

Marine Sargent: "Keep moving soldiers, only 10 more miles. Then our scouting mission is done."
"Sarge," One says, "Why do WE of all people have to scout the most deserted area on the planet?"
Unknown Voice: "Are sure it's deserted?"
Sargent: "Who said that? Show yourself."
Archinax: (appearing out of his invisibility) "Hello humans. I am afraid you won't return from your scouting mission."
Sargent: But there is only one of you, and three of us....with our trusty shotguns."
Quickly two more elites come out of invisibility and like lightning they grabbed two of the soldiers and put their double bladed energy swords through the soldiers stomachs.
END SCENE

Training Facility 477
A.I Unit Lancer: Current score is Omega 1 has 10. Longbow, David, and Ryan have 0.
Ryan: Why are we even fighting him?
Longbow: We are testing you and David. You're being tested by me for team effort. And sadly you are being tested on your battle skills by Omega 1. Don't worry about your score he is our best fighter. He was trained by an elite scout sniper.
Ryan: I'm pretty sure we can handle some old sniper.
A.I Unit Lancer: Round begins in 5...4...3...2...1
As soon as the round started Ryan and I went out first.
David: Where is he?
Ryan: He could not have disappeared. Could he?
David: No, that's against regulations. Or I think it is.
Out of nowhere we see Longbow get thrown across the court.
We turn to see what happened when as if he were a shadow in the light Omega 1 came. We started to fire our pistols (pistols are safety regulated for training). He had managed to get behind Ryan. Omega 1 crouched down and swung out his leg to trip Ryan. Ryan falls and before he could recover Omega 1 pushes him into the wall. Now it's just me. He disarmed me. Then slammed me down on the ground.
A.I Unit Lancer: Match over. Point awarded to Omega 1. Team two has a score of 0.
Round after round Omega 1 beat us without trying. Even Longbow had tried his best and couldn't beat him.
A.I Unit Lancer: New player added to team 2.
Ryan: Who would volunteer to fight against him...other than Longbow.
Taylor: That would be me.
Longbow: Oh, so now we may stand a chance.
A.I Unit Lancer: Round begins in 5...4...3...2...1
When the round started we all went out into the middle of the court. Omega 1 was nowhere to be seen. Then Ryan had crashed into me.
David: What was that for?!
Ryan: He's over there!
We started firing in the direction he pointed. After we stopped there was nothing but smoke. Then he came out of nowhere and body slammed Longbow. Ryan went to punch him when he ducked quickly and threw Ryan (again) into the wall. But when he was about to attack Taylor he paused. When he then went for me ignoring her, she knocked him down.
Ryan: What was that?!
END SCENE

Sargent: Go! Go! Go! Don't let the elites take the beach!
Marine: Sir, our last shuttle just left we're all that's left. We're the last line of defense.
The elites had ambushed a beach line defense. It was the only thing between the elites and a forerunner generator guarded by a 477 MAAC cannon.
Linerax: Forward the assault. Leave no survivors.
Lancer: We are approaching the objective.
Logan: How far are we Lancer?
Lancer: We are currently 18.58798345 miles out.
Ryan: Where's Ben?
Longbow: He is the air support.
David: Right, air support. It's really that bad?
Taylor: Yes, the troops were ambushed they have weaponry but the elites came unscheduled.
Ryan: Omega 1, what do you think of the matter?
Lancer: He would rather not answer that question, Spartan 283.
Ryan: Right, he'd rather not.
Out of no where, our warthog blew up.
Logan: Banshee Bombers! Longbow use the gauss turret.
Ryan: This is Ryan, we're all ok. Our hog is destroyed though.
Logan: Ryan I want you David and Omega to get to those marines. We'll take care of the banshees.
Ryan: Yes sir.
Ryan, myself, and Omega 1 took cover at a rock. Logan drove his warthog away from us to keep the attention of the banshees away from us. Then we went to help the marines.
Sargent: I thought there were more of you?
Ryan: We got ambushed and our team is dealing with the problem.
Sargent: Alright, well three Spartans is still plenty...I hope.
As we battled the marines brought a scorpion tank.
Ryan: Seriously, NOW they bring a tank.
We were winning the battle. As if all was going to plan. But then the elites send three wraiths (Covenant tanks that fire huge amounts of plasma discharge like marauders). They destroyed the forward teams. Then the elites send a squadron of ghosts (small vehicles that float above ground and fire plasma, weak but agile). The ghosts then decimate the surviving marines. Then we see a large elite, it was an ultra. But this one did not have the normal colors of white and light bronze. This one had blue armor with a steel detail. He led five elite heavy towards us. The scorpion fires at them but then they crouch down and have some sort of energy shield surround their separate bodies and weapons.
Ryan: Ok that is a new trick. Everyone, fallback!
David: Where is Ben?!
Then three Falcons (UNSC "helicopters") come in and destroy the ghosts and wraiths. Also Logan with the others come in for support. The elites saw defeat and fled the battle.
Ryan: That was too close. We could have lost the base.
Logan: But we didn't lose the base, and that's all that matters.
Ben: You're welcome. (Speaking to himself through the radio) "Oh, thank you Ben you really helped out." Yeah your welcome.
David: Hmf, thank you Ben.
Ben: Too late to say sorry.
Ryan: Riiiiiight.
Logan: Everyone regroup at the base. We may have won this battle but we suffered heavy losses.
