0630 Hours, Earth, "The Burrow", December 15, 2559
The Master Chief stood in his bulky MJOLNIR MARK VI. He remembered that Dec 15 was Christmas, a cherrible holiday for a few officers and a day for santa. He sighed as his thoughts drifted toward being a normal citizen, being free from the clutches of High ranking people who always gives him suicidal missions to undergo. "Chief, Admiral Amarada is calling you, you should go quickly, he doesnt sound so patient today", a voice rang in his COM. He remembered that Cortana had been placed in his armor to prevent her from doing anything to her will.
Admiral Amarada, the owner of the ship called, "The Cruiser", is a very hasty person. His shirt was littered with badges and medals, almost as much as a Spartan.
The Master Chief walked into the audience room, a large circular room with 12 seats, terminals to the left and right, and a holo emitter in the middle of the room. As Master Chief walked into the circular room, the door closed immediately behind him. His senses flared, and he looked around the dark room. He saw no one, and stood up straight and walked toward the holo emitter. He pressed a blue button located at the bottom of the emitter, and a giant holo figure of Admiral Amarada appeared. "Master Chi--f. I ha--e a fa-vo-r to a--k of yo-u. A Cove--an- fle-t is hea-din- to-w--ds "Ne- Re-ach". I nee- you to inf-ltra-te the-- n-w ba--tle cruis-r, cap-ur-e th- capta-n, bl-w the pie-ce of purp-e sh-t with lot- of expl-sives and overlo-d the engin-es the-n take a drop-ip and fl-y ou- of there and wai- fo- extractio----. The figure of the admiral dissapeared with a flicker, and then shut down.
"What do you think, Chief?", said Cortana. "I think i'm gonna follow orders, and blow the hell out of that battle cruiser", Chief said over the COM. There were only a few Spartans left, The Master Chief himself, Linda, Kelly, and Fred.
Linda was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone, wearing a T-shirt and jeans. She heard a beep, a six tone sound that teh spartans had always used : Oly Oly Oxen Free. She picked her COMPHONE up, and pressed "1". "Linda reporting in", she said coldly over the PHONE. "Linda, come over to "The Burrow" ASAP, we've got a mission blaring", said John over the PHONE. "Roger that", said Linda.
Fred stood over a battle rifle in "The Burrow"'s armory. "I sure love these stuff...better if they are detachable", murmured Fred, as he held it up and shone it. The Spartans had been taught that weapons are expendable, except for Plasma pistols. Just as he was about to attach his new Zoom X10 onto the Battle Rifle, his PHONE rang the 6 note. Fred dropped his battle rifle immediately, and grabbed the phone out of his pocket with extreme proffesion. "Fred reporting", he said into the PHONE. "Come over to "The Burrow" ASAP", John said into the phone. "Acknowledged", Fred said.
Kelly ran full speed in her MJOLNIR armor. She checked the timer on the bottom left part of her HUD. It said : 1minute 12 seconds/ 10 rounds. She skidded to a halt and smiled secretly to herself. I've gotten faster than before, she thought. Kelly walked out of the court in "The Burrow"'s training center, and ran into John. Kelly saluted, and asked "What can I do for you today?". "We have a new mission, report to the Spartan's locker room ASAP", John said stiffly. "Roger that", Kelly said, and sprinted to the locker room. John sighed to himself, just after he gets a short break, another mission comes up. He jogged to the locker room.
John looked around the locker room and sighed. Out of the 32 Spartans that had passed the augmentations and training, only 4 was left. "Everyone, today we have a new mission from Admiral Amarada, capture a captain of the new "Battle Cruiser" that is above NEW REACH, and blow it up. Alright, Spartans! LOAD OUT!", John shouted. 3 blue lights winked on his HUD. John grabbed a Battle Rifle, for shooting purposes, if there will be one, a belt full of grenades, and 2 SMG's. He reached into the ammo crate, grabbed 5 clips for the Battle Rifle, and 9 clips for the SMG. Linda got her Sniper rifle, Kelly took 2 magnums and a belt of grenades, and Fred took the Battle Rifle that he was toying with.
4 Spartans walked down the hall of the ship dock, and loaded themselves onto a Speartip, a new dropship with a Slipspace generator. The Master Chief inserted Cortana's disk into the holo emitter of the cockpit, and a purple-blue figure appeared out of the emitter. It was a wonder how Cortana lived more than 7 years, but the Chief had heard that Dr.Halsey had reprogrammed something with Cortana, and now she can live forever, until someone deletes her. "On another one of those crazy suicide missions", said Cortana," i wish the those Covenants can just give up and leave us humans alone". John thought he catched a bit of anger in her voice, then subsided. he loaded a fresh magazine into his Battle Rifle, and ordered Cortana to set their course to NEW REACH. John laid his head back, and knew that he was about to see home again. He was going to see Reach again.
