Just so we get things straight and get no complaints about why there is no story or action in this particular chapter, THIS IS AN INTRODUCTION!! It tells about each and every character you are going to read about. We have Daniel Burton, team leader, Ittimai AKA Recoil, Automatic Rifle Man, Tony, Sniper, and last but not least, Thomas (real name is Silp…hardy har), our engineer and technology expert. Now time for me to bow out and let you read. ( Message written by Ittimai, Recoil)
The camera opens up to reveal Earth with battles raging on it's very surface. A voice comes up "no we are not screwed, and yes we are being invaded by aliens…this is my story". The camera zooms in on Italy, Rome, past a few layers of clouds to reveal a single Pelican flying through the sky. Inside the Pelican there were four men in it, clad in an unknown type of amour. They wore no helmets but goggles and headsets in it's place and they wore what looked like a SWAT uniform except that there were no insigna on it and its all in black. These men wore shoulder pads and amour plates that cover the biceps and forearms but it looked smaller than the marine's but oddly tougher. The gloves seemed to be made out of substance that was used for Kevlar but upon closer inspection it has small piece of metal plating on it, small enough to allow full movement. The amour at the torso looked like an ODST's but less bulkier with an exposed side but it was cover by another layer which looked like a flatter version of a Kevlar that covers at the side and provides more cover rage. There is no protection at the groin but there are small metal plates at the thigh, knee and greaves that cover from knee to toe.
The camera turns towards a man with brown fuzzy hair. He wore a serious look. "That is me, my is name Daniel Burton, I am 34 years old well, every one in this team is 34 years old. For a certain reason I am the leader of this team you may have never heard of us because we are the first of our kind. We were trained and funded by ONI section 3, and we volunteered for this project unlike the SPARTANS who were forced to join since childhood. We called ourselves the "Enzans" that is what one of my teammates suggested, that was what his brother name for anything that was elite. Before I became an Enzan, I came from a family that lives in New York, now a giant Metropolis. My father (who was a Captain that retired and now taught students at a naval academy on earth a few years after I was born) sent me to military school to become a navy officer. I took an interest of Special Forces instead and joined an elite airborne unit and soon became team leader and lieutenant. I was later invited by ONI to participate in their project at Reach 4 years ago. Little did I know that because when I was still six ONI wanted to kidnap me to be trained as a Spartan but they dare not because my father was a former captain and my father knew all about the plan, he was also involved with the kidnapping. The ONI booked me instead for being accepted to all the military branch and that is how I got here with the potential to be a Spartan".
Daniel turns towards a man who looks like he had been working out 4 times a week, the man is cleaning a prototype automatic rifle called an MB9B it looked like an M249 SAW but longer and looks portable and more reliable and weights only 2.3kg with an easy to load rectangle shaped magazine that sticks out to the left side a bit rather than what looked like a box with exposed ammo like the M249. The MB9B can hold up to 90 rounds per clip has very good accuracy for a light machine gun and gone through plenty of field tests but the UNSC is not convinced yet that it should be a standard squad automatic weapon. "That guy over there is called Ittimai (It-tea-maai) he's from a country at Southeast Asia called "Thailand", he is our best anti infantry-infantry unit in the squad and the always the man when it comes to suppressing fire and covering fire. He was a Sergeant in Thailand's special force and later invited by ONI section 3 for the training on planet Reach. He was invited because he almost became a Spartan, if ONI could have had enough funding Ittimai would have been a Spartan by now or he could die during an augmentation process. Ittimai was gifted with the ability to handle large amounts of recoils while firing at full automatic and still hit his target by a factor of 76.5%! The marines were really impressed they gave him the nickname Recoil, and we happen to like calling him that too during missions as a code name.
Daniel turns to look at Tony fiddling with his prototype and customized sniper rifle "That man over there is Tony, he is our rifle man, his Old Russian name is Yuslav. Tony lived with his father a Russian politician, Tony moved to America when he was 9 and became an American citizen; he changed his name to Tony and became an elite marine sniper at 22. Tony received medal of honors and purple hearts for providing cover for many fire teams and even saved a few lives too. Tony, like Ittimai was a Spartan candidate and was in the tenth place of almost joining the 75 kidnapped kids. Tony's Sniper rifle is a prototype it's called a MAR (magnetic accelerator rifle), it holds 20 rounds per clip it's a semi automatic weapon made for both assault and sniping (Tony founded it to be very reliable). If you compared it to a MAC gun on the ships, it has the same amount of power if it weren't for the size. The MAR gun had field tests and was too powerful for the holder to fire, it was powered down to a fraction just enough to be devastating enough to hit a pilot inside the cockpit of a banshee and the recoil easy enough to handle. Instead of a scope mounted on top, the MAR gun has a small four by four inch monitor mounted on top; it has infrared, movement sensors, and night vision. Tony even though he had been transferred to many places because of the demand for his sniping skill had a hyper mood and got along with most of the marines. Tony even earned the respect from the ODSTs once and had been called "Miles" because of his ability to hit a target that is a mile away, that is by the way half true. Tony can at his best hit a target that is approximately .82 miles away depending on the terrain and the speed of the target.
Daniel turned to look another man sitting crossed arm, the man look back at Daniel "…. why are you staring at me?"
Daniel answered calmly "oh nothing just daydreaming."
"His name is Thomas Gunnar, our grenadier and most resourceful teammate, he came from a long line of ancestors who are Irish, American, and Chinese. Thomas had an odd skin feature like no one else; his skin is white as in vampire white and pale every time he fought the covenant, not because he is scare, because we can sense his calmness every time we fought. We insisted him to see a doctor 6 months ago we breathe sighs of relieve when we found out that Tom was one in a million type of human that got this skin disorder. 'It's all in the genetic make up like a white elephant' that's what the doc told us. Tom's skin problem might also be the reason why he wasn't picked as a Spartan. After I had gone through the files of the Spartan project at the ONI section three dossier I think that ONI was too scared to select him when they found that something is wrong with Tom's genetic make up and wonder if it would affect Tom when he grows up. Tom had a very bad background his mom died when he was 3 (from a motor accident) and his dad died when Tom was still 8 (also from a motor accident). Tom's uncle took him and looked after him like Tom was his very own child (even though Tom's uncle was never married). Tom grew up as a very smart person he joined Harvard and learned about electronics then he joined Special Forces working as a Hacker and demolitions expert. Tom too became a sergeant and team leader, ONI soon invited him for the Enzan training too. His former squad mates called him Trapper for his amazing record to had a few times, ambushed and wipe out a squad of elites plus two hunters with only trip mines and remote controlled mines. Tom and I use an assault rifle similar to the MA5B but it's a cut down, smaller version and it holds 50 rounds per clip of ammunition and it's in my opinion, light weight and deadly accurate. If the UNSC finds it to be really good, they will take it as standard issue, replacing the battle rifle, but currently it's a prototype and uses the same ammo for the standard assault rifle."
Daniel looked around the room inside the Pelican and glance out the window just to see only clouds passing by "We trained on reach for 5 years when we were 25 years old. We learned a lot more than what we could ever imagine. We learned how to lay advance traps, pilot aircrafts and vehicles, hack into computers and how to tune our own guns according on the way we hold it and aim it. The trainings were tough and felt like training for super force more than special forces. When we reached the age of 30 we spent a year of campaign, being sent to fight off rebels that terrorized remote planets, but soon all the planets were glassed by the Covenant and we spent three years fighting them off. We just got this new equipment on Reach 3 months before it was Glassed. In the past we operated just like the NavWarSpec team, so nobody knows about our existence yet. The invasion started 10 hours ago, we were caught off guard and spent the first 2 hours battling the Covenants at Washington. My team suddenly got an order from our commander to get on the Pelican nearby and wait for further instructions, until now."
Daniel got tired of backtracking on his past, he decide to go to sleep when…
"Lt. Burton do you copy? Hello?" The comlink in Daniel's head set burst to life as Daniel's commander voice spoke.
