The Fall, Chapter 1: Harvest (IC only)

[Epraria]

" Why did you take it prisoner? He tried to kill you."

"Because I want answers, and he has them." Alex says while patting the zealot on the head.

" What type of answers? "

[The Dictatorship POD]

"In my experience, just because we haven't lost one yet, that doesn't mean we won't loose one. And now that I'm in one, the chances just got pretty high." Rader leaned his head back, "I'm ready for a little R and R after this. Before I joined, I was going to inherit a soda company based on Reach, now that would be boring compared to this. Most people would be waiting to go home, but frankly, I love my job."

"Because I want answers, and he has them." Alex says while patting the zealot on the head.

" What type of answers? "

"Why the covies are attacking us." Alex says while crushing the soda can, and putting his recon helmet on.

[Epraria]

" What type of answers? "

"Why the covies are attacking us." Alex says while crushing the soda can, and putting his recon helmet on.

" I think it is a typical alien invasion thing. They are simply douches and want to kill us for no real apparent reason. At least for us. "

" I think it is a typical alien invasion thing. They are simply douches and want to kill us for no real apparent reason. At least for us. "

"There has to be a reason for them to try commiting genocide on us. They didn't seem to do it to any of the races they accepted into the covenant. So why us?"

[Honorisia]

Rader's Pelican

The pilot shouted from his seat, yelling at Rader. "I'm trying to fly here. No need to insult my skills right in front of me. Anyways, the Covvies are pulling back. There's something up north that they're hot for. I don't know much about it, you'll have to ask the LT." The ODST turned away from the pilot, turning back to Rader. "You heard right. No more Covvies, at least not for now."

" I don't know. I am just a tank driver,"

[The Dictatorship POD]

Rader tried to take his helmet off, which for some reason wouldn't come off. "Are you kidding me!?! Dammit! This just isn't my day. I bet you, if I were to jump out of this can, I would be unlucky enough to survive. I think I officially hold the record for worst day ever." Rader grabbed his M6C, released the magazine, and pulled the slide back, but when he pulled back he heard a snap as he pulled the slide completely off. "What?! Are you serious?!" Rader just chucked his, now useless, M6C out the rear of the drop ship. "That's two weapons I lost now!" Rader looked at the ODST staring at the kid, "Hey, Corporal, give me your M6."

[Honorisia]

The ODST shook his head, pointing out the hatch. "LZ is less than half a click away. You can re-supply there." The Pelican touched down, landing next to a second incoming Pelican. A group of ODST tramped out of the second pelican, followed by Deimos and Sarge. The pair of ODST hopped out of Rader's bird. The Pilot stood up, powering down the dropship. "You getting out big guy?"

[The Dictatorship POD]

Rader stepped out and walked up to the ODST he asked for the weapon, "Listen boy, next time I ask you for a weapon, you give it up. Next time you don't, I'll through you out of a Pelican. Got it?" Rader walked away, he was way too mad to focus, as his day officially sucked. He walked up to Sarge, "Kills?"

[Red Team]

"I Sarged 3 Elites, 4 Grunts, and an empty building. I almost Sarged Deimos over there too, but I'm feeling generous today." Sarge wiped a bit of dirt off of his chestplate. "How have things been going for you?"

[The blood ravens]

"I Sarged 3 Elites, 4 Grunts, and an empty building. I almost Sarged Deimos over there too, but I'm feeling generous today." Sarge wiped a bit of dirt off of his chestplate. "How have things been going for you?"

"I knocked out two AA guns, disabled 2 wraiths, and destroyed 2 more. I also took down like a dozen other covies but I couldn't count on account of the building was laying ontop of their bodies, oh and I took an elite as a prisoner." Alex said while sharpening his knife, and gesturing to the tied up elite sitting next to him after mentioning him.

" I destroyed 3 wraiths and I don't know how many covies with the HMG and the main gun."

[The Dictatorship POD]

"Well, my day sucked. Though I did manage to kill three elites, five jackals, and twelve grunts. I also managed to break my M6, loose my DMR, take a twelve foot tumble and now for some reason my helmet's stuck like a bug on a bumper." Rader looked at Alex, "Did you find a stranded kid? Nope, didn't think so. I'm going to go find a DMR and M6."

Alex makes the "watch out we've got a badass over here" pose for a second when he mentioned the kid before returning to sharpening his knife.

"Hmm, that's bad. At least you didn't go on a wild goose chase looking for some imaginary facility. I tell you, some of the new recruits are less than satisfactory." Sarge glanced at Deimos, however no one noticed because he still had his helmet on.

"If you want, I'll whip him into shape for you." Rader started bouncing a grenade in his hand, "or I'll kill him trying."

[Red Team]

"I'm thoroughly tempted, Rader, but let's save our ammo for them aliens." Sarge thought for a second, then said, "'Course, you don't have to use a grenade."

"Oh, come on. You no how fun it is to see greenhorns scramble over a grenade that happens to fall in their lap? I'm not stupid enough to activate it. That would be a waist of a perfectly good grenade." Rader then walked away, in search of some new weaponry.

[Latiko]

Nick stepped out of the shadows, "so is this war over, have the covenant surrendered?" Nick looks worse then before with his helmet broken. "My HUD is broken and I wandered a little. Fought a hunter, killed some grunts nothing serious" Nick chuckles. "So imma need new armor and a soda..

" Nyet. We still have to force them out of the planet completely."

"Nick!"

Sarge turns to an ODST. "Private! Get us a medic on the double!"

He turns his attention back to Nick. "Easy son, just sit down and rest." He's obviously delusional. Killing Hunters and Grunts while wounded, Sarge thought.

[The Dictatorship POD]

Rader came back with a DMR in hand. "That wasn't very hard to find." He looked at Sarge, "hey, you want me to make Deimos dance?" Now that he had his helmet off, a menacing look was visible on his face.

[Latiko]

"Oh god, how much have we lost on this attack? Lets just hope this is the only planet they attack. Nick stops and looks saddened"They burn." Nick sits and takes out a picture of the planet Reach. "Hey do you ever think they'll attack Reach?"

"If we don't stop them they will. They will eventually get all of our worlds."
