Halo Legacy

Delta Squad

Ten was now classified as my AI now.

Oh boy I'm so happy that I get a new partner and to top it off your a spartan said Ten with a happy expression.

Right I never had an AI up until a few days ago.

So will you see this girl again.

Yeah she just has to go through some training first.

In a few weeks Rachel will be a full fledged spartan. I reported back to the forge for my next orders.

Sir what next.

Alright levall we have a distress beacon from an ODST squad on the planet pathara. I don't know how they ended up there but we are sending you to investigate. Your team is already deployed on other missions and with your sangheili knowledge you will be aided by copper and a small group of elites to rescue the odst.

Sir yes sir. So I rode with copper down to the oval planet.

Why are your troops on Pathara I thought most were on the gauntlet.

I don't know Mason did tells to be wary if it's a trap. Still we have no record of our troops ordered to go there I don't know how they could get here unless hey Ten.

Yes Tuck wh...

You have a construct Tucker.

AHHHHH.

Woah Ten calm down copper and the swords of sangheilios are our allies.

My apologies construct I should not have startled you.

What did you need Tucker.

What ship where your odst from.

The USS Iron Anvil they were sent down to the gauntlet to investigate but where attacked. There where also more odst squads that dropped to.

That's where they are from then. How did your ship get here.

We were running from a massive covenant fleet so we did a random jump and ended up here.

A covenant fleet you say construct how big was it.

About the size the one on reach.

Intriguing I must consult this with the arbiter when we get back.

What do you think there after copper.

I don't know that is why I think it is odd. By the gods look.

As we neared Pathara it's surface began to appear burnt instead deserty like it does from orbit.

Oh my copper do you think they glassed the planet.

I believe so. It has been awhile since it has but it has. The gauntlet's pull is strong enough to pull in ships when that ship is targeted. Construct your ship must have been forced here when you jumped. The covenant must be doing something with but I don't what. It's glassing is only partially done said copper. We drew closer to a city where the beacon was coming from. It wasn't destroyed but it had lots of rubble.

Woah humans have inhabited this planet but how we don't know this planet existed. We got as close to the beacon as we could. I could instantly tell there was flood here because of residue on the ground. We made our way to the beacon fighting off flood. We reached a locked door.

Great a dead end your beacon must be malfunctioning Tucker.

No think they have locked themselves in. I did a quick knock on the door to see. Immediately the door opened and an odst with grey and cyan armor that has shark teeth decals on appeared.

Calm down trooper I am lieutenant Tucker Levall here to rescue you and this Ambassador Copper form the swords of sangheilios.

Finally my squad and I are falling. He lead us to them. Most could stand but a couple couldn't.

Alright there is an evac pelican about 2 clicks to the east we need to get you to...

No lieutenant we can get our wounded to the evac but we need you to complete our objective.

What is that objective.

Civilian evac, the civilians we are supposed to save are to use their distress beacon in their phones so we can come find them. We had one ping left but before we could get to it the flood beat us to it.

But sgt how did you get here.

When our ship was pulled in we detected human life made up most of the planet and the covenant where ready to glass Pathara so we UNSC troops where deployed to evac civilians. We didn't know humans lived out this far. But when we deployed the flood those parasites came down in their pods and ships to ruin things as well.

The parasite returns and its here in this galaxy I must report this to the arbiter.

Well that explains that then are you sure the civilians are still alive.

Look at your radar you should see a ping with a yellow dot that's the civilians.

Alright just get to the pelican.

Okay my name is Jerry Fitzroy by the way. After making sure Fitz and his squad could make it far enough we headed toward the beacon.
