Fall into the flood

S.O.S

"Those disease ridden bastards!" Greg shouted as he was beginning to cry inside his helmet, still mad about his squad leaders death.

"It's okay Greg let's just get to the Captain and see when help will arrive." Arthur said putting his hand on Greg's shoulder.

" Fine." Greg said still depressed as they walked to his office.

They eventually came upon the captain's office and opened the door seeing him in his chair as always.

" Yes what is it that you two need?" Myres asked while he laid a data pad down on his desk.

"Well sir we were wondering when a UNSC frigate will arrive, so we can evacuate and get to safety." Arthur said sternly.

"Yes, there will be a frigate arriving along with reinforcements so we can eliminate the threat in 6 hours." The captain explained, looking at the two ODSTs.

"But sir the flood are right outside we can't hold this position forever!" Greg shouted with a sudden outburst.

"Private you will not take that tone with me, now get back to your post immediately!" Myres ordered sending the two away.

The two then left both with different views on their captain and his choices.

In the hall------

"Who does he think he is those things are out there getting ready to tear us apart we can't just wait here!" Greg complained as they were walking to their posts.

"And what are you going to do about it private?" A new voice said as Andrea appeared at the end of the hall.

"I'm going to burn all those freaks to the ground!" Greg replied angrily as he marched past her.

"Not like that your not." Andrea said as she put a firm grip on Greg's shoulder.

"You can wait until help arrives then you can waste them, but until then you have to act as a soldier and follow orders." She said as she let him go.

"Fine but when help gets here those freaks are going to pay for what they did." Greg said as he stormed off back to his post.

"So... do you think he's going to be okay?" Arthur asked putting a hand on his helmet.

"I don't know Artie just get to your post." Andrea says as she walks off.

Back in the control room---------

" So Corvus what are our chances off getting out of this alive?" Myres asked the AI as it floated on his desk.

"Sir your chance for getting off the planet alive are 73.8% with no permanent injuries or having any effect on your status." Corvus said after making calculations.

"Mmmm and the chance of the flood breaking in before the frigate arrives?" Myres asked after thinking on how he will survive.

"Well sir I am restraining them as much as possible so their is only a 11.7% chance of them breaking in." The AI said making more calculations.

"And you've made sure that no one will find out?" Myres asked as he leaned over the AI.

"Yes sir there are no more specimens or traces of evidence against you that can be found." The AI said as it disappeared.

"Good now we just need to wait."
