The idea of espionage...what a terrible miss-allocation of UNSC credits."Listen up Alpha...we are nearly at objective point DELTA,I need wewe all locked and loaded,understood?"I relayed to the team. "Yessir!"they relayed back.The cover of night should help us in completing our objective,but the sekunde we reach minimum salama distance,UNSC destroyer would use MAC rounds to take the target objective out,simple.Well that's what we thought."Location reached, ok let's set up and assess the threat, Jet and Curt, wewe cover us from the ridge, Lux and I will infiltrate the settlement, Maia, Sam, and Janice, wewe three infiltrate via waterways, we need sensors in place, after that, wewe plant the beacons in the right spots, and we all fall back, clear?" I ordered, we needed to get this right, this was our first op and we had little to no experience in actual combat, these rebels would occasionally be ex-UNSC, so they were trained and had been fighting the UNSC for years, so even though we are SPARTANS, we'd be dead if one alerts the others."Yessir!" the comm channel buzzed."Ok, songesha out Alpha-Pack!" I ordered, we had no intention to fail, because there was little chance of us losing, but even trained soldiers make mistakes, let's hope we don't."Lux, songesha out, Jet, wewe be Curt's spotter, Janice, Sam, and Maia, wewe guys plant beacons and scanners, we have little time left people, when the 'Blue Moon' is directly in orbit above us, it'll need a lock for it's MAC cannon, take any un-identified equipment wewe find, it could be used if the rebels find us."I ordered to us all."Ok, Chief and Lux, we'll keep watch on the ridge to the East, we have suppresors and sub-sonic ammo, making a sound and tracing the bullet, will be difficult with these."Curt, answered, we may need to eliminate guards, but normal sniper rounds could be traced kwa it's white line of smoke, explains why people never used snipers that much."Chief, what do we do if the underground is being patrolled?Should we sneak around au eliminate them?"Maia asked, I never thought of that part, so good thing we were a team, otherwise I would have gotten us discovered and the op would fail. "Well, depends on comm chatter, if they have radios and they sound staticy, they'll be connected to the surface. If it's a perfect connection, open moto but have your suppressors too. There'll be a 100% chance of an echo down there, ok team,we have our plan of attack, lets execute it, but keep constant update on the comms, anything could change, we'll need to act fast and change strategy when it does." I ordered the team, we all moved into position for our first op."Chief, if I don't make it, I want Maia to know, she cheats at poker." Sam requested over the comms, I'm not sure how that had any relation to what we are doing."It's not my fault wewe can't keep a straight face when bluffing!" Maia responded, this was gonna get in the way."LOCK IT DOWN, wewe CAN REMATCH WHEN THIS IS OVER, NOW LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH, UNDERSTOOD!" I yelled at them, their HUDs blinked affirmative and we all got set.
UNSC HALCYON-CLASS VESSEL:BLUE MOON
The A.I. on the ship was sophisticated like a smart A.I. Is, but something was wrong with her recently, and the crew were gonna get their first sign."K.I.M, I need eyes on Alpha-Pack, ASAP!" the captain of the Blue Moon requested."Right away sir, anything else wewe want, say some coffee au the rebels to surrender?" KIM responded in a sarcastic tone."KIM, is there something wrong? wewe are made to take orders and be an effective part of the UNSC, why the sudden attitude?" the captain asked, he was getting a little frustrated."Oh, I'd think you'd like a little humor for a change sir, wewe are always giving the orders but if an AI of my level of clearance is above yours, why aren't I?" KIM asked sarcastically."Ok, KIM, I'm shutting wewe off until the tech-heads find out what's wrong with you." the captain alisema reassuringly, things were getting out of hand, and would continue getting worse if KIM wasn't checked over kwa AI programmers in engineering."Captain, I'm sorry, I don't know what's gotten over me, it feels like I'm becoming defunct au corrupt..." she paused "But it feels so good to be bad!" she alisema as her visual representation changed from a hue of purple to crimson red."Alert, this is Captain Humphrey of UNSC Blue Moon, all SPARTAN teams disconnect from ship comms, we have a rogue AI on the loose, and she's headed your way, specifically...Alpha-Pack!"...
