A few grunts silently patrolled around at the edge of main back door. One grunt turned around hearing a slight sound and picking up a scent of burning fuel. The sound of Echo 419's jet engines grew as it hovered up and the grunt screams as he ran for the door.

"This is far as I can go." Foehammer said, piloting her Pelican over to drop off everyone.

"Roger that, we'll find our way to the control center from here." Cortana replied.

"Good luck, Foehammer out." Foehammer replied, flying her Pelican around the chasam.

Together, both the Master Chief and the Doom Slayer slaughtered the covenant reinforcements. Shocking Jeff, Gary, and the three UNSC Marines who were with them. Clearing the facility, Jeff fired a rocket at a group of grunts, hearing screams and a pane of glass shattering into pieces. Then heard another pane of glass shattering in the distance as Gary fired one round with his M6 pistol.

"Hmm, why would a big facility such as this would have all these glass windows?" Gary wondered.

"Yeah... Cortana? How old is this place?" Jeff asked.

"Unknown trooper, we won't know until we get to the control center. My best guess, is this ring probably over a millenia old." Cortana replied.

"Huh, I guess break away then?" Jeff asked.

"Yes. Though I recommend you save on ammunition." Cortana replied.

"Cool." Jeff replied and shot the last two window panes of glass before they left.

"Hmm, the weather patterns seem natural not artifical. I wonder if the ring's environmental systems are malfunctioning... Or if the designers wanted the installation to have inclemet weather." Cortana explained when the Chief walked out into the bridge to see a winter wonderland.

After knocking out the sleeping grunts, Master Chief and the Doom Slayer started on another rampage on the bridge. While Jeff, Gary, and the Marines followed right behind, killing any grunts the supersoldiers may have missed. With Gary looking up to see another UNSC Pelican flying over the bridge.

"This is Fire Team Zulu requesting immediate assistance from any UNSC forces. Does anyone copy? Over." FT Zulu replied over the comm.

"I didn't think there were any human forces left on this part of the ring... Cortana to Fire Team Zulu, I read you. Fire Team Zulu, this is Cortana. Hold position. We're on our way." Cortana replied to the transmission.

"Roger that, make it quick." FT Zulu Sargeant replied.

"Chief! Look out!" Cortana yelled, after the Master Chief spotted a Sangheili general.

The Master Chief reloaded a fresh clip into his assault rifle. Before firing, he watched the Doom Slayer fight the Sangheili general with the same mysterious red bladed weapon he'd seen back on the dropship. The Doom Slayer dodged the energy sword swipes and deflecting a few with his lightsaber. Using his training that he learned from fighting both Darth Sidious and Lord Vader. Slicing the hand, stabbing his blade the Sangheili's chest, slicing the Sangheili General in half. The group moved onward through the chambers, killing the Covenant soldiers who occupy the area. While Gary and Jeff breaking every glass window in each chamber. Reaching the exit, the Master Chief walked up closer to open the door and looked outside to see a Covenant Grunt sitting in a shade turret firing at several trapped marines by a overturned warthog. Looking over to his right, he sees a Covenant Wrath lobbing a plasma motar every few minutes with one Sangheili Elite guarding it.

"We need a distraction." Master Chief spoke, then turned over to see two bored stormtroopers. "Congrats. You've both volunteered for a run." He said, pointing to Jeff and Gary.
