Fall into the flood

It begins

Meanwhile with the insurrectionists

A couple dozen soldiers were approaching a cave with 6 of then in a couple of warthogs they had stolen from a scouting patrol. With the rest either watching the perimeter or carrying the supply crates.

They were now approaching a cave, preparing to stop for awhile. As they began to rest one of the soldiers starts to look at the crates.

"What do you think is in there?" He says walking towards one of them.

"Probably guns and ammo, why do you care?" another one who was sitting on a rock nearby said to him.

"Well wouldn't it be easier if we just took them out instead of having these boxes around." The first soldier says as he gets closer to it.

"Hmm that is not that bad of an idea lets open it up." The second one said getting off the rock and walking over to the crate while the first soldier presses a button on the box that begins to open it. But as it opens all the rest start to open at the same time. The sides of the boxes then fall off and about 3 dozen strange squid shaped parasites run out with two of them latching on to the two men's faced making them not able to shout for help. The parasites then began to race through the cave looking for hosts, grabbing on to person after person until there were only 8 left at the front of the cave who had turned around and looked in fear as a dozen parasites were running at them along with the rest if their group who were now half covered in dark green and red tissue with each one now having a weird arm with long gross tentacles with weird hairy feelers on the end.

"What the hell!" one of them shouted as they opened fire on them mainly focusing on the parasites. As the fight continued two of them had been grabbed by their infected comrades while the others made a run for the cars. They had made it to the vehicles and then drove off in the direction of their base.

Back at the UNSC base

Captain Myres was looking at his desk at a small red light that was flashing on a small remote he had until it stopped.

"Looks like they opened it, well time to watch the show." He said leaning back in his chair.

He then called in the squad of ODSTs who arrived in his office in no time flat each in their armor.

"I have bad news the marines I sent were shot down, so I will be needing you all to prepare yourselves for if they attack so head to the armory and gear up." He told them with a serious expression on his face.

They had headed to the armory and began to grab weapons.

John had grabbed a MA5C assault rifle and a DMR along with a couple grenades.

Andrea grabbed a BR55 battle rifle and a M6D automatic magnum with grenades as well.

Drew had grabbed a BR55 and a DMR but did not take any grenades but took a 5 inch combat knife.

Arthur packed a BR55 and a M6D along with a field med kit.

Mitch picked up a silenced DMR and a M6D magnum also with a silencer on it along with a Bowie knife.

Greg had gotten a SR S99 sniper rifle and a M6D with some extra ammo for both guns.

"Okay is everyone ready?" John asked putting the DMR on his back.

"Yes sir!" They had all chorused back in a salute.

"Then let's kick some innie asses!" he said as they walked out the door to the armory.
