"Marines! Lifeforms detected in section Charlie 2 and section Zeta 4. We have rapid moving lifeforms in air ducts everywhere!" the intecom sounded. The marines stood up and grouped up fast. Frederick was still loading, reloading, unloading and back forth again even after this message. He was really unhappy now MCconto could not join his side. But then he stood up and asked 20 marines. His location and area was different than the other marines are off to. His location is section Alpha 5. The lifepods area. He asked 20 elite marines to join his side. These men fought for 10 years lng against any covenants and had 5 years of VR trainings succesfuly completed. They can wield the AR much better and effective.

They need to clean the sections of the ship to get to sol I safely. If they carry the covenants while ariving at sol I, the problem would be much worse later on.

With 2 ar's, one in the hands and one on his back, Frederick moved through the damaged sections, repairing leaks and clearing the area of any enemy lifeforms, they moved through the sections without many resistance. Everywhere wandering grunts with mostly empty clips of plasma were found and killed. After some time, the teams started to clear the air vents. Sounds of elites who screamed were heared by many teams. In the Alpha 5 section, the bridge encountered weird readings of fighting lifeforms including covenants and other. The team of Frederick blasted the opposite wall of the section and encountered Flood lifeforms fighting with covenants. "What?!?! FLOOD? Bridge! This is Frederick of team bravo here in section Alpha 5! We encountered Flood parasites including mutated covenants,flugs and carriers!"
Frederick said in all haste while firing at the lifeforms. About 30 flugs sprung in the gap where Frederick and his team were. They started to retreat while firing the shotgun-version of the AR at the floods while more and more came. "Sir! We cant hold them off long! Cover us while we retreat back to alpha 4 section!" Frederick took the chance to let see these parasites should not meddle with him. He took both AR's in his hands and toggled to the shotgun mode and started hellfire at the parasite flood. While stepping back because of the recoil of the shotguns, the flood decreased faster. His prototype AR's could kill 10 lifeforms at the same time without many loadings. When many flood were killed, he retreated back as well. From any side the flood appeared, so they had no choice but to retreat back to the main decks. From there, personal pods were ready to launch from the ship. At the same time, the ship toggled double hyperspace and reached planet sol I while wrecked about completely. MCconto and frederick were put in 1 of the pods with the 20 marines and launched to the planetside. Followed by the other human pods they entered the Core. Behind them, the GHTC Adamant exploded as they entered the core full speed. And they set foot on the Citadel of Sol I, the most advanced and enhanced super Military Base of the Human race.

They landed at the special pods Landing, by using a magnet to get the pods its direction, and then let it land. 1 by 1 the pods were landing. Escorted by marines, the general, the one in charge at this base, walked to the pods landing to welcome those who have just arrived. As first, Frederick got out carrying MCconto, still knocked out, and had 2 mariness at his side. Soon, more followed.

"So! A Spartan has come! Myu prayers are answered."

"Prayers?" Frederick said.

"Yes, we needed a man who had experience in war more than me, but no spartan was here, allthough the spartans counsil is settled here." The general said."So, can you do it?" The general asked anxious, as a Medic revived MCconto, and after explaining his situation.

" im here to defend and not to rule, but yes, we neeed a good strategy...ok...ill lead them...for a while..." MCconto said, still tired out.

"But sir," the general turned to Frederick, "who are you, then? Are you a spartan too?"
the general asked, as he was a very anxious man, who wanted to know everything about anything.
"No sir, but im a friend of this Spartan here." Frederick said fast.

"Join me with diner, sirs." The general asked.
"well yes, thank you. Since we fought this much, we definately need to strengthen up!" MCconto said.

Later, at his diner, with just him, MCconto and Frederick, with the guards who were there as ever for security and safety. A basic rule since ages.

"Since the replicator, you can ask any food you want, even if its a enourmous load of food to feed thousants of men, it can be made in just a few seconds. And it even have the same taste! A pity, that it cant be used in te battlefield...yet." The general said as they ate.

"So, do you want to create personal replicators for in the field?" Frederick asked. "well thaat must be hard since the old battery's still have to low power to work propertly.

" Yes, I want to make personal replicators for in the field and I allready have teams of scientists on it. and power is feed by sun energy for day, and enourmous powerfull battery's for night. The hardest thing still is the noise it makes. In stealth ops like ambushes and sniping, you need to have food without losing your cover. Its things we need to learn.

"since the nano programs, marines can carry 100 kg, but they are allready at they maximum now. Since the battery's weight 2 kg each, and the replicator 5 kg each, it will end up with about 12 to 20 kg too much, and that is too dangerous, since they get tired and they cannot fight properly then, and since the nano2 code is not stable enough yet, we cannot use this or we need to find a way to go below the 100kg limit." MCconto said.

"Yes... it is one of those problems what make scientists worth gold." The General said to end this subject.

After a while, a guard ran to the general.

"Sir! Urgent! CODE RED!! he said.

"What?? Code Red? Sirs, lets move! ARM YOURSELVES!"

they ran to the radar station at the eastflank of the base.
"Look, in sector Sigma 5! Theyre here!"

"We shall resist! Our race is in shambles. We are the last left, and we will fight until there is no more! ALL GATHER!
