• Waking up to emergency alarms and loud voices, I quickly jumped to my feet an rushed to my locker to equip my ARU (Assualt Ready Uniform). After I got my gear I hurried to meet up with my squad. My squad leader gave us orders to move to the cryochamber to secure Spartan-117.
    Once we reached the cryochamber the thawing of Spartan-117 was nearly complete, then a covenant task force ambushed the floor above. By the time they destroyed the control room to the cryochamber, Spartan-117 was armed an mobile. I confronted my squad leader an about the issue of the covenant task force. "We need to take out that task force or-"
    "Not now our top priorety is to get the chief to Captain Keyes for an imidiate update of our current situation!" my squad leader reminded me. I couldn't just let that task force kill more of our techs an sabotage our ship.
    "Sarg permission to break off and engage the covenant sting!" I asked hardly. I knew that this was a bad idea, but there were practically no other soldiers in the area close enough for an imidiate assualt. My squad leader argued with me an soon saw the possibly outcome of my idea. "Permission granted...an your not going alone, Dom go with Ricky and make sure you two come back in one piece." I thanked him, then Dom and dispersed from the squad and went back to the cryochamber.
    We barged into the control room and saw nothing but a few dead techs an destroyed equipment. We checked the halls and caught a glimpse of a grunt who was lagging from his group. Dom went out first and I followed right behind, we followed it cautiuosly and it eventually caught up to the task force.
    "There's noway we can take them headon." Dom whisperd, "five grunts and three elites, not to mention one's a captian." I noticed three fusion coils near the elites an got another idea. "Dom get down." I said in a low vioce while throwing a frag at the fusion coils. A quick cahin of explosions soon went off and the screams of the dying covenant were soon drowned out. I peeked around the corner to see if anything was left alive and to my surprise three of the five grunts were still living. I notified Dom an told him to shoot at the fire extinguesher near the corpse of the captain elite.
    When I gave him the signal he turned the corner aimed an fired. The explosion caused a gust of foam to fall apon the grunts faces. Once they were blinded i jumped around the corner an let a barrage of bullets fly into the remaining grunts. "Damn we took out a task force of eight by ourselfs." Dom said proudly. I shook my head an went to check their dead bodies. Dom searched for any wounded or killed techs. "Ricky come here!" Dom shouted at the top of his lungs.
