Reaper Ops.
Chapter I
Oni Agent Todd Reaper strolled down the hallway of the newly commissioned facility planned to train an elite 6 man squad able to infiltrate a Covenant ship and bring it back to Earth for researching.
Hell Reaper thought if we get prophet we may even get a bonus. He laughed, the pay for almost all UNSC personnel was extremely low, once before he had gone into service he had checked the different wages for different jobs and found out that a UNSC Sergeant makes less than an oil driller in Wisconsin. These thoughts filled his mind in till he almost ran into the 3rd checkpoint of the bunker.
'Name and identification number please, and put your hand on the scanner"
Reaper boringly recited his name and identification number, and then put it hand on the scanner, it buzzed for a few moments before saying in a highly robot like voice
"Clearance Confirmed"
Reaper walked on alert and watchful, by the looks of it they had added extra security to the complex there were ODST MP's every 50 meters every down the 200 meter corridor.
When he reached the end of the hallway he did the same routine that he did at the 3 checkpoints before, but instead of going through to another long white hallway, he suddenly found himself inside a dark room filled with computer screens.
"Hey Todd man, where you been what took you so long?" said a voice from the shadows.
"Security" Reaper grunted.
"And didn't I tell you to call me Reaper" Continued Reaper
"Sure Todd" Replied the voice in the shadow.
"Why do you keep it so dark in here?" asked Reaper.
"We like the dark" said a fake zombie like voice.
"Shut up Rico" said the man in the shadow.
"Ya whatever" said Rico.
Reaper fumbled around the wall looking for a light switch, he tripped and fell tripping over a trash can. The lights suddenly blazed on showing the whole room. Directly infront of him sitting ina chair about 10 meters away was an man in his mid 40's chewing on a cigar, and about 5 meters to the right of him sat a young man in an ODST uniform with various medals pinned to it. There were various No Technicians at computer screens around the room but they had not noticed anything but the lights turning on.
"You know why your here reaper?" said the man.
"Only thing I know is im supposed to set up some special task force, again"
"Just like old times eh? said the man infront of him.
"Yea Robertson"
"Who's the kid Rob?"
"PFC. Rico Ruez reporting for duty, sir" said the young man
"Im guessing I only have pick 4 soldiers then right?"
"Yep, you got it"
"Fine, so what kind of funding do I get?"
"You get 800,000 Credits and 50 Acres of Forest Land and and 10,000 square foot Complex"
"all right, you kid come with me"
"I have a name you know"
"Not intil you have proven your worth one, and Rob where is this complex your talking about?"
"Reach, there is a Pelican outside waiting for you, that will take you to the UNSC Frigate Spearhead"
"all right, kid follow me"
UNSC FRIGATE SPEARHEAD
The Pelican rattled and jerked as it ascended through the atmosphere and then a few minutes work the flight softened and then as he looked out the window of the Pelican saw UNSC Frigate floating gently in the void. The pilots voice boomed throughout the cabin.
"We are now docking with the UNSC Frigate Spearhead, I hope you enjoyed your flight"
"Does anyone ever enjoy a Pelican ride?" said Rico
Reaper did not reply to Rico's comment, but instead he was thinking of the big job ahead of him. He had to train and select four members, he had no doubt that he could find some good soldiers on Reach some of the best of the best were trained there. But the fact that he only had 12 months do it, Oni was pressuring him and Robertson to get this unit of the ground and active as fast as he could. They wanted to get this unit rolling before Dr. Hasley rolled out her new Spartan II's. He had a big job ahead of him.
***Authors Note***
This story took place as you might have noticed this story takes place before Reach was destroyed and before the Spartan II's were ready.
