Kicking over a Grunt who was desperately trying to crawl away, 228 puts a round of buckshot into it's chest and then follows. Alice's face pops up in the top left of his HUD and smirks. [color=Purple]"Looks like you still got it, LT. Anyways, been keeping an eye on the Covenant Battlenet and they're going crazy. I guess two fleets of unknown ships have shown up, with one fleet helping us to their best ability and the other firing on the supposed friendlies. Seems the Covies don't know what to do with themselves. Hope those Grunts have some kind of toilet system in their suits, cause I'm pretty sure they pissed themselves."[/color] 228 lets loose a slight chuckle and waits next to Sophia.

[color=Red]"Gonna be honest, Commander. Three Spartans for a job you and Watters could handle seems a bit much. Got a game plan in mind?"[/color] He looks down the hall as they wait, watching as a fresh group of Marines with ODST and Spartan IV support move into the hangar to secure it and lock it down from further boarding. Cutting his external speakers, he turns his attention to Alice. [color=Red]"The defense systems up yet?"[/color]

Alice's picture smiles again and she then takes on a thoughtful look before shaking her head. [color=Purple]"Not with engineering under fire. It's gonna take more time to fix with Covies crawlin' all over them."[/color] 228 nods and continues waiting, keeping an eye out for anymore stray Covies.
