Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I think so.))

Nodding my aggreance, I punch the acceleratore again, squirling the tires. With a couple of jumps, I soon leave the mass of covie behind, runnign forwards at high speed. Approching another massive hill, I drive right up it, again pushing the engine into the red. With a shout of excitement, I launch the warthog off of the side of teh hill, making wicked air time.

While he was standing just outside the COM Station, he heard someone from inside call to him. He hesitated for a moment and checked the area with a quick glance before he stepped back inside. When Major Orden approached one of the COM Technicians, the man quickly hit a few keys and turned to face the Major as a recorded transmission played out of the speakers.

Alpha Team, this is The Armengald. I have a new Objective. As soon as the SPARTAN and the rest of Delta team arrive, you must keep them safe at all costs untill a ship arrives to take them out. Repeat: THE SPARTAN AND DELTA TEAM MUST SURVIVE. Armengald out

He listened carefully as he received the new objective. "Hmm...well, I will need to inform everyone about this." He grabbed the COM that transmitted to everyone's personal COM, which they kept with them. He keyed the COM and spoke into it. "Attention. This is Major Orden. We have new objectives: Everyone be on the lookout for Delta Team. Delta Team is currently inbound to Alpha Base. Repeat: Delta Team is inbound for Alpha Base and all units need to make sure they make it in, 'safe and sound.' It is imperative that all of them make it here alive and well. Orden out."
He turned to the Techies and stated "I want to know when they get here as soon as it happens."

I paused in my firing and looked over at Howie. "Hey man wassup?" He fired another shot at a group of grunts forcing them to scatter. "How long you been here?" He shot three burst at an elite dropping him before he could run. He ejected the empty clip and reloaded it and swung it over his shoulder moving closer up to the retreating enemies and pulled it out again crouching near some debris and started firing at more of the little grunts.

Popping his head over the sand bag bunkers that more or less protected the M247's and lined the trench the shallow trench that connected them. The Lieutenant aimed carefully through his scope and fired off a burst at random intervals. A covenant soldier dropping at every shot. His ears rang every time one of the tanks fired off one of its shells. Pausing in his shots to yell out sumthin to the marines manning the M247, he shouted, "Dont let that barrel over heat! we dont have any spares to change it out!" at the same time Drake had came up to him, asking him a rather stupid question he helt. "The hell are you thinkin?? see that out there??" The lieutenant grabbed drake by the arm pointing out to the open area the covenant were trying to get onto but didnt make it in the first wave. "Thats 100 yards of land mines! no way you'd make it over there with both your legs, besides the scorpions blew that armor to hell already. Anything that was in them is now spattered out on the ground or burning!" He fired off three more rounds at a retreated grunt, two shots catching the grunts legs, the other shot hitting the grunts Methane tank, causing it to explode. The lieutenant looked over at drake again, "Drake, go and make sure the M247 crew on the left flank has enough ammo!"

The marines using the M247 on the left side replied to drake, "No! were almost dry!"

Kristi was actually the least infolved. Her rifle was out of ammo and she didn't dare to ask the others for any, she was stil lfeeling distant. Only a few Covanent had tried to make it up, mostly Jackals and grunts, no problem. The bodies lay beside the rock formation she was using as a ambush site on the way up. The rocks were the only way up for the covanent. She held her knives smiling and talking to herself, "I'll have to look at these later... They seem to be dulling hehe..." She laughed slightly crazy and smiled licking the sharp, blood-stained edge.

He ejected te now empty clip of his pistol and reloaded it running from rock to rock back up to the safety of the rocks his friend was hiding behind and was clipped on the side of his arm by a lucky plasma pistol shothe yelled slightly as he dove behind a rock holding a hand over the bleeding wound and spun out from behind the rock firning a couple of shots and fell back behind the rock dropping his pistol into his lap he pulled out some medical tape and tied it around the wound and poked his head out, seeing it clear he ran up to the rock beside Howie and fell leaning against it. "Hey man. These bastards are pretty stubborn aren't they?" He laughed slighty and slid down into a sitting position and re holstered his pistol pulling his battle rifle out and crawled over to howie looking through the scope, he started picking off grunts angrily.
