Echo 119 to SPARTAN-108. Coming in on your position. Here is your ride boys.
A Pelican emurged from the sky and floated to the blown section of the bridge. The back door opened ans made the ship shake a little as it hovered in the air.

He clicked his COM on before responding, "Roger that, Echo 119." He quickly glanced back to make sure all eleven members of his team were still there, and crouched by the Pelican's open hatch. He held his rifle at the ready as his men clambered into the dropship, before climbing in last. He had just braced himself when the ship began to lurch upwards. The hatch behind him hissed as it sealed, and the craft's engines flared as it sped away from the Covenant COM center. He took a seat and rested his head against the back of his helmet. The SPARTAN wasn't waiting to return home. He was waiting for further orders.

After he heard the Lieutenant's request about the Scorpion he thought things over for a moment before responding.
"Lieutenant. Go ahead and move one Scorpion to the other side of Alpha Base where the action is. Move everyone with rocket launchers, except two of them, along with the Scorpion. Keep the snipers positioned where they are and adjust the remaining Scorpion's position so it has a better firing range since it will be on its own, besides the two people with rocket launchers."

He ran up the hill his back stinging, he found Major Orden and made his way to him. When he made it to Orden he pulled out Natavi's Dog tags and said "Here Sir, Natavi's tags, Twombley will want them. One of the little basterd hit me in the back with a plasma bolt."

He ran up the hill again towards Howie and holstered his pistol. "Howie! Come with me!" He ran towards the heaviest spot of covenant fire and crouched behind a rock. "Help me take these bastards out!" He looked at Howie and pulled out his Battle Rifle and clicked on the zoom and started taking out grunts and Elites with precise shots to the head.

"Yes, Sir" He made his way down the hill, trying the ignore the pain he still felt from the plasma bolt. He came beside Gapenski and pulled out his Pistol, running low on Battle rifle ammo. He turned on the 2X scope and picked off grunt, and when he hit jackles they did like they would always to and stumble, this gave Gapenski time to take them down. Howie however was really only getting to kill grunt.

Kristi had given up on trying to find any help or intel. She picked up a couple needlers and smiled wickidly behind her helmet. She had killed so many covanent she should have ammo problems. However, something had snapped, Kristi only used regular weapons, covanent or human, on extremely rare occasions, and now wasn't one of them, "Alright come get me you bastards..." She turned around the rock formation she was hiding in and started to spray needles, there were so many she hit even dead bodies and caused them to explode in a pink explosion.

Saro-Vingo After he heard the Lieutenant's request about the Scorpion he thought things over for a moment before responding. "Lieutenant. Go ahead and move one Scorpion to the other side of Alpha Base where the action is. Move everyone with rocket launchers, except two of them, along with the Scorpion. Keep the snipers positioned where they are and adjust the remaining Scorpion's position so it has a better firing range since it will be on its own, besides the two people with rocket launchers."Twombley listened in closely to the Major's response to his request. ' Roger that sir, will do.' He responded pulling himself up off the ground after having taken cover to avoid being picked off by a covenant sniper that got lucky. He looked over both the positions each scorpion was holding, trying to decide which had the best spot. Mathias thought that the scorpion covering the left side of the pass had the best spot from which to spot out targets and fire on them as well. Opening a COM link to the right flank scorpion he ordered, ' Private McKnight, new orders from the Major, you and Private Wilkins are to move to the north side of the base to help out there. Copy that?' McKnight and Wilkins looked to one another, a joyous look coming over both of their faces as they were told to repositioin and get help out at the north side. They were both eager to use the scorpion to its fullest capabilities against the covenant. McKnight responded to the Lieutenant, Copy that sir, moving out now*click*. The com link ended with that. Twombley turned his head over from his position to see the lumbering scorpion move out of its first spot and heading over to the north side of the base to help support the marines, now for the snipers and rocket teams...

'Sergeant Debanardo, I need you and your rocket boys to reposition to the north side to help support the fight there, you'll be helping support along with the scorpion, copy?'
There was a short pause after the Lieutenant's message before a reply came.
'Copy that sir, you want us all over there?'
'Negative, leave two men where they are and move the rest.
'Yes sir'..*click*
The Lieutenant could see the soldiers he ordered to reposition get moving, moving as quickly as their heavy equipment would allow.

The Covenant Onslaught lessened with each minute. The numbers of the attacker's slowly deminished. Most of the men caluclated the fight to be over in an hour....

and Tom was quite content sniping out elites and jackals while the others got rid of the grunts.

The echoing of rifle fire and cannon fire seemed to be lessening to him. Either he was finally going deaf or the covenant were beginning to see their assault on the butte was becoming futile. He decided he'd better report in to give an assessment of the situation, though he wasnt exactly sure how things were going on the northern side. Plus he was becoming restless already with no fighting on his side of the base, and he didnt want to leave his post.
'Major, This is Twombley. Ready and awaiting orders sir, everything is secure for the time being here.'

Kristi noticed there weren't any enemies around her so she decided to take a breather, "Tch... I bet these marines are jsut gonna dump me here like some space trash... Oh well, more fun for me then..." She said coldly to herself examining the bodies that layed heaped around her.

Mathias Anak The echoing of rifle fire and cannon fire seemed to be lessening to him. Either he was finally going deaf or the covenant were beginning to see their assault on the butte was becoming futile. He decided he'd better report in to give an assessment of the situation, though he wasnt exactly sure how things were going on the northern side. Plus he was becoming restless already with no fighting on his side of the base, and he didnt want to leave his post. ' Major, This is Twombley. Ready and awaiting orders sir, everything is secure for the time being here.' He noticed the fighting was slowing and he was glad for it. He wanted to fight the whole time, but he was at the COM Station directing some of the fighting tactics. Now that the fight was ending, he could count on leaving the station soon and getting to work on repairing any damaged defenses and the like. The Lieutenant came over the COM and Major Orden was quick to reply. "Lieutenant, check again to make sure everything is in order and able to take care of itself if things go bad. After that, you can go to the north side of the butte and help everyone there."

'Copy that sir, Twombley out.'
Mathias stood back up and several marines looked to him, already waiting eagerly for orders. He smirked at their enthusiasm. Moral was high now with the battle's victory seeming imminent. Whether or not the Covenant were retreating then doubling back en masse with heavier support was beyond him. He hoped that the Armengald would be able to relay some intel to the Major about what they could see from high above in orbit. He refocused and shouted out to the marines, "Alright guys on your toes! I want you to double check everything here from here to the edge of the minefield on this side. Watch for stragglers or those spec ops groups that will be camo'd. If you see anything, dont be a damn hero and try to take them on your own, call for back up!" There was a brief pause as his voice was quiet and the marines looked on for a moment. "Thats an order! get your asses outta here!" The marines jumped up and began to check over everything. The marines that hadnt heard what to do were being told by the other on what to do. The Lieutenant sighed. This was only one battle, they had minimal losses for now, Mathias had even hear one of the Marine Sergeants yell out, "Its a Goddamn firing squad!" meaning that it seemed to easy that they were pushing back the Covenant like they were...He agreed.
