@Sleeth @AlphaWolf215 @jaybreezyThe UNSC Infinity shook as it came out of slipspace at a completely random place in the universe. It had managed to escape Cortana for a while but they were running out of places to jump to. Captain Thomas Lasky watched out of a window on the Infinity, a planet somewhat similar to earth was the random destination Roland had brought them too.
"Roland, were are we and how long to do we have until we need to jump again." The Captain was becoming severely agitated due to Cortana's attempts to attack the Infinity, every time they got settled Cortana found them and sent the Prometheans to attack them.
"Captain Lasky, we are currently at the Inner Colony know as Ballast. Also you have a call coming in on a Secure transmission. shall i patch it through sir?" Lasky nodded and video displayed on the screen nearby.
"Ah, Captain Lasky im glad i could get through to you. I had no other choice but to turn to you. All our other vessels are currently defending Earth and the Major Colonies from Cortana. We've had reports come in from the UNSC units placed on Ballast stating that they are being over run by Insurrectionists. We sent Spartan Fireteam Black in a few weeks ago. We havent heard from them since. Were asking you to send a unit to find out what happened to that team and retrieve their armour. We also need fireteams dropped around the planet to help deal with insurrectionist forces. Can you do this for us Thomas?" the picture of a grizzled UNSC commander had appearied infront of him asking for his help. Captain Lasky couldnt help but notice the sounds of battle in the background, where was he? Earth? it didnt matter though, all that mattered was the Mission at hand.
Lasky spent a few minutes trying to figure out the best plan for the fireteam to follow, but he knew more than anyone that as soon as they got their boots on the ground it would be a whole different story, they'd be under too much fire to follow the plan.
"Roland, assemble Fireteam Quantum in the War room. Tell them to prepare for briefing." the small orange AI disappeared and set about following Lasky's orders.
"Fireteam Quantum, please make your way to the War room for Briefing. Thats Fireteam Quantum to the War Room for Briefing"
