Anton
14:65 UNSC Infinity Bridge


Anton stood at his computer platform monitoring the War Games. "Come on!" He yelled at the spartans. "The covenant aren't going to play sissy like you! Pick it up!"
He turned away to look at the ships systems. Everything is a go. Anton thought. Then he said, "All crew prepare for slip-space jump!" The Infinity raced through the portal and came out on another side of space.

Kjal 'Otsoree- Storm Encampment

01:34(Requiem Time). 46 hours after the Infinity arrived at requiem.

 

Kjal looked through the scope of his Beam Rifle. He saw a SPARTAN squad below in the relic. How oblivious they were to the base practically right on top of them!

I could take the shot. I could wipe them out before they see me. he thought. But was it worth it? Waste precious ammo for the sake of killing? No. He would wait. He would stalk this group. Wait until the time was right. And he would cut them down, just as he had with every other SPARTAN he had encountered.

 

He activated his camouflaging systems and disappeared into the night.

[Surveillance]

The radio piped up. "This is Fire-Team Solar at the relic. We have detected some strange things on our radar but nothing yet. I assume once we clear this out, The Eggheads will- PROMETHEANS! Take cover! What is that- AGHHHH." The radio cut off. "Dammit!" Anton yelled. He knew that the leader had died, but there were still 6 others. Perhaps they can make it.

 

Infinity didn't know it, but a new class of Knight was emerging: The Eagle. It had dual incineration cannons on it shoulders, a binary rifle in the right hand, hardlight sword in the left, and it was also equipped with hardlight wings that allowed flight.

Classified ONI Section lll, Codename Avictus

 

Avictus looked up just in time to see a Promthean Knight flying towards Fire-Team Solars last known position. Baffled by what he saw he activated his com. "Alright ladies looks like the forerunners made a new freak for us to kill, I want a weapon check on the double. Someone get on the horn with Infinity, let them know our status." Avictus looked back toward his squad. "This going to be one hell of a day"

[Surveillance]

"Avictus, be careful." Anton told him though the comm. "It could wipe out your entire squad, but we need that relic. The Covenant cannot get their hands on it. And watch out for any camouflaged elites. You are in their territory."

 

Then he looked back at the Requiem satellite. "Something HUGE coming your way Avictus. It looks like... a forerunner tank carrying an Ion Cannon." Anton tried to sound calm. "Who is your heavy weapon specialist? You'll need him to focus fire on the tank all while avoiding the new Promethean."

[BaconShelf]

Kjal managed the Sangheili equivalent of a smile. After reporting his findings to a Promethean Knight, it agreed to send a squad of prometheans there. He was glad he had took the time to learn their language, unlike the Storm who believe they were too 'Superior' to bother learning. If they weren't so focused on the Didact and locating the Rings, he may have considered staying with them.

Why are they too stupid to realise the answers are kept by the ones shooting at us? We could wipe out the humans now, they surely must have forerunner sites being documented! The Arbiter did on Sanghelios. Why wouldn't they?

The Arbiter. Too focused on helping the humans! They have more than enough firepower to destroy them!

 

Well if the rumours he had overheard on his radio were true. The Arbiter himself would be leading a Battlegroup to this world! They wanted to study the planet. Use it. Harness it's power. Well, they will be in for a shock when they discover Humans, Storm and Prometheans.

 

He was getting distracted, the newly constructed units were combating marvellously, that was all he needed to report right now...

"Deathstrike" Murphy, Infinity hanger 22 C, 02:03

 

It was busy in in the hanger, crewmen and pilots alike were busy prepping their Pelicans for action. The sound of heavy munitions being locked onto the wing brought Murphy a sense of joy.

Only surpassed by the sound of it being released. He paid no attention however, as he was busy studying the reports from the groundside teams. He watched intently not making a motion.

It was several minutes later until he walked away.

 

"How's she doin' boys?"

 

"Ready and waiting, she's loaded up and currently fueling." Came the response from a pilot, who was simultaneously loading a fighter.

 

Murphy walked away from the pilot with no response and began heading towards a dull grey Pelican.

It was his own idea and his own responsibility, but he was eager to prove that a heavily armoured pelican was better then a fast pelican.

He eased himself in the cargo area and relaxed.

It was silent until he spoke.

 

"Commander, requesting permission to head planetside and assist local forces ASAP........sir."

[Surveillance]

Anton turned away from the flashing Requiem radar and replied to Murphy, "You are clear to go planetside. I advise you take a squad. It's rough down there."

 

((The two people that control the UNSC Infinity Chain of Command and Requiem operations are my character Anton the A.I., and BaconShelf's officer that should arrive soon))

 

((Use double parenthesis when you quickly need to say something that doesn't relate to the RP but can't go to the Discussion thread))

 

((I also updated the OP on the Discussion thread on the squad system))

Admiral Delreuse- Infinity Bridge

03:34

 

Admiral Delruse, Captain of the UNSC Infinity strode onto the bridge. He vaguely heard a marine shout "Commander on deck!" But didn't acknowledge it. No, two days in and the **** had hit the fan. A new species of Promethean? And to top it all, reports of the Arbiter personally leading a battle fleet to Requiem?

 

This was not what he needed right now. With FLEETCOM breathing down his neck to get the Eggheads on the ground to study the Artefact, he wondered how Lasky coped with it.

He walked over to the Holographic table.

"Anton, what do we know about this... Tank thing? Weaknesses? Anything? And this new Promethean type? What did we get from the Spartans helmet cams?"

[Composite Armour]

"Deathstrike" Murphy, Infinity hanger 22 C

2:06

 

"Thanks Anton. Advise any Spartan's that volunteer to be suited up and in 22 C before 03:00. We'll want to give those freaks a real party."

 

He sat forward and proceeded to check his gear one last time. He spent much time checking each notch on his weapon and recalling vividly how he got them.

It was only the sound of a re-fueling alarm that made him refocus.

 

"Now come's the worst part, the waiting."

[Surveillance]

Anton noticed Admiral Delruse walk onto the bridge.

 

"This tank thing, holds an Ion Cannon that can fire a beam with the power of a spartan laser and a binary rifle x15. It could easily take down a frigate with just 3 blasts." Anton said to Delruse. "And this new class of Promethean. It is another Knight, but it can.. fly with hardlight wings. And it has dual incineration cannons on its shoulders. It has a hardlight sword in its left hand. All else is unknown. Scientists are calling it the Eagle."

[BaconShelf]

Admiral Delreuse

 

"Thank you Anton, can we get some Broadswords over that area for some recon observation?"

[Surveillance]

@Ledgend and OTHERS

 

((I said don't put the time and name information again UNTIL you go somewhere else.))

 

----------------------------------------------------------

 

"No problem." Anton answered. "I need 4 SUPERLIGHT class broadswords to go for a reconnaissance mission at Sector 84 on Requiem."

 

SUPERLIGHT class were designed solely for intelligence missions. Faster than any other UNSC vehicle, the could quickly gather information. But that also comes with a price. One spartan laser to the hull and it's down.

 

The 4 broadswords were off. "It is done." Said Anton finally.

[BaconShelf]

((Its more because I'm RPing two characters, I just need the distinction between James and Kjal))

[Surveillance]

((OHHH, okay. That's fine.))

 

Anton looked back at the hangar. "Murphy, I need you planetside now. Your rivals with the fast pelicans are already off. Does that sound disappointing?"

[Composite Armour]

"Lack of volunteers huh? I'll just take what I have with me. Tell those boys to take it real easy now, wouldn't want the wind taking them down."

"Okay girls, I hope you're ready for some actual combat. Do what you were born to do and try not to piss yourself. You might even get a gold star, ain't that nice?"

"Pilot, take us out, head to the LZ and then field test the weapons, got it son?"

"What do you say marines, you ready to save the damsels?"

 

The traditional "OOH-RAH!" was given.

The Pelican slowly moved out of the hanger and began taxiing.

The count down began "3...2...1" and they were away.

 

"Nose first, I want us right on top of the ********."

 

The pelican began to experience the wild turbulence.

It was only several minutes before the pilots shouted "touch down!".

The loading bay door opened to reveal Reqium.

 

"Let's get this party started!"

[BaconShelf]

The four Broadswords, dubbed Nova squadron screamed over the plains.

"Target, approx one klick ahead" reported Nova One

 

The camera feed, while hazy, showed enough. The structure was now crawling with Promethean and Covenant troops as well as vehicles of all kinds. Dotted around in an approximately half-kilometre radius from the tower were several AA-Wraiths and Type 38 'Tyrant' Anti Air guns.

"Nova squad, Abort mission! Repeat, abort!" Delreuse shouted into the microphone.

 

"We're trying sir, they have Vampires! They're pushing us into the Triple Ay batteries!"

A scream filled the air as one Broadsword was stasis bombed by a Vampire

"Nova Two! No!"

The Pilots chatter then filled the speakers, too much to comprehend. Then one by one, they fell silent until there was one feed left, and one voice left.

"Infinity, this is Nova Three, the others are gone... Th.. Th.. They have V..Vampires... The stasis is EMPing our fighters! Anyway, there's three on my tail, I'm going to circle round this structure, get a look at the other side. Then... I'm sorry. This is Nova Three, Staff Seargant Mark Littlewood... Signing out. Forever."

The mic went dead, the silence filled the air as the crew gathered round the holoprojection. It showed several craft chasing the ship. Then, it circled the tower, focused on the Tank, before the camera began to tilt. The tank moved out of view, the ground came towards faster. They could see grunts, jackals, elites and crawlers all running away from the shadow of the ship before...

The screen went dead and showed only static.

 

The sun began to rise from behind a mountain in the distance. The effect of red it gave from being in the right angle made the atmosphere even more somber as technicians and officers returned to their stations.

 

"Anton... List those three pilots... As KIA, in the line of duty. And let's hope that we don't lose anyone else."

 

[Surveillance]

Anton marked the three pilots as KIA in the line of duty.

 

"Murphy touched down on Requiem a few minutes ago. Him and his team are assaulting the tank." He said to Delreuse.

 

Then he yelled on the comm to Murphy "We need that tank and AA guns taken down ASAP! Your fast-pelican rivals are already half way there. If you want to beat them, get to it!"

 

Anton turned back to Delreuse. "How is FLEETCOM treating you, Admiral?"

[Composite Armour]

"Deathstrike" Murphy, Requim surface

04:23

 

"I have a negative on that last order Infinity! This things a real ***** to take down. I've lost too many men already, we're falling back to the nearest Spartan team's location."

"We'll need an or...son of a *****! Keep them off me for a minute! Infinity, we will need orbital support to take this thing down! It's too damn hot for Infantry here!"

 

It was a bloody job with no success, the tank continued on unimpeded. Murphy let several more bursts rip from his SAW, providing the suppressing fire needed for the retreat.

It was here when they were running across alien territory, with deadly opponents chasing them, heading towards a position which was probably under attack, that Murphy thought to himself:

 

"Just like old times."

 

As they drew closer, the radio sounded with voices.

Ignoring them, Murphy shouted into the Radio.

 

"Screaming Eagle here! Approaching south-south-east of your poistion, confirmed enemy armour moving for this poistion!"

 

He stopped as hardlight bolts ripped past him.

 

"Mister you're going down!"

[Surveillance]

Anton turned back to the holographic screen.

 

"How come your rivals managed to get to the tank without any casualties?" Anton asked Murphy. "It's not like the elites hired them as- they went the exact same route as you with no casualties." He shuddered at the thought. "Oh no... Admiral Delreuse! The team Murphy was competeing against are elites disguised as SPARTANS! They know our plans..."

 

"New orders Murphy!" Anton yelled. "Exterminate your rival team! They are turncoats."

 

"And if you want orbital support, please target the tank."

[BaconShelf]

"Get a firing solution on the tank, ready Archer Missiles A1 through C1 and get a Shiva ready. We can't take any chances if the Archers fail to take it down. And Anton, it's private matters, not for the crew to hear... Yet."

[Surveillance]

"The missiles are prepped and waiting. Now we need a ground soldier to target it." Anton said.

 

"About that science team that went missing on requiem... we found out what killed them."

[Composite Armour]

"Marine, throw me that beacon!"

"I need all of you to lay heavy suppressive fire, I'm going for that tank."

"You two, flank left and wait for a moment to take as many freaks down okay?"

 

It was still dark, the only source of lights were from the flashes of gunfire.

Murphy steadily made his way around the enemy's right flank, encountering only a few hostiles.

The bulk of their force was focused on the marine position, who would not last long without Spartan support. Spartans were after all the assault guns of the UNSC.

He at last came up to the side of his target, which appeared to be de-activated. Then a sudden beam of light destroyed the rock beside Murphy, the tank became fully operative.

 

"REAL TOUGH GUY!"

 

Murphy made several dodging attempts and inch by inch got closer to the tank. He would need to be close enough to get it to stick.

He waited until the right moment and the tank had just fired. He closed the distance with great speed until he managed to latch onto the side.

The tank shook violently trying to remove it's passenger.

Murphy armed the beacon and was about to place it.

 

"I got a present for ya!"

[BaconShelf]

Delreuse-

"Well what was it then?"

 

Kjal 'Otsoree

Humans were so frail. He had noticed that time and time again. They could barely take a plasma bolt without falling to the floor! This pilot was no different.

"I will ask again, what is your name?"

Yes, this pilot had barely survived his kamikaze attempt. Of course he would have succeeded if the Vampire hadn't of stasised him before he impacted. Now, he wasn't so brave was he?

He picked up the trembling man, threw him to the floor and punched him in the stomach. No, when they had to face reality, they wouldn't take it would they? Now look, this trembling fully grown man, curled in a ball shouting for his mother!? A Sangheili would have been killed there and then for thinking of doing that!

"I ... I... I'm Nova Three of the UNSC airborne. 101st division."

"You know I wasn't asking for that, don't you?"

"I won't tell you anything else!"

"Well, lets see about that... Hmm?" He motioned to the Minors to pick him up. They dragged him along the ground out of the bunker and onto a cliff overlooking the structure and plains.

"You are facing the might of a Covenant army! 100,000 troops and Prometheans as well? You cannot win!" He gestured to the edge of the cliff. The two Sangheili dragged him and held him over the edge.

"Now... Tell me what you see."

"An army... Prometheans... Hunters.. A... A..."

"Yes, a Super Scarab. Being fitted with the power core you were researching... Correct?"

"I won't... Tell you... Anything!"

Kjal began to walk away. Satisfied that the Human had been scared enough. He muttered in Sangheili "Tie his hands to the cliff, he will hang there facing our forces until he spills information. Or dies..."

[Surveillance]

"The flood... killed them. 500 other spores have attacked the covenant, infecting them. Now we are at a four-way war. The flood continues grow." Anton managed to say.

 

He turned back to the radar. The beacon was primed. "Weapons bay, launch the Archer Missiles and the Shiva!" Anton screamed on the comm. "Murphy! GET OUT OF THERE!"

 

The three missiles fired out of the weapons bay and rocketed towards Requiem. The Archers came in contact with the tank and exploded, but nothing happened. Then the Shiva impacted. An explosion as bright as the sun flew by, and the tank was in a pile of scraps.

 

Anton sighed with relief. "We did it Admiral Delreuse."
