Smith walked in, his head hanging low. He looked up as he approached Jesse, Chief and the Captain.
"Sir, it's done." He said.
"Good. I'm sure it must have been hard to abandon a fellow D-Spartan. But right now, we have to take action." He said. "There are only three of us, so we'll have to co-ordinate, and each lead separate teams to keep the foot soldiers morale high. Smith. You go down and guard the Chryo Bays with a team of eighteen. Roberts, you have a choice. You can lead a team of twenty-five to the escape pods where the Covenant are boarding us, or lead a team of four through the maintenance shafts come up behind their defenses."
Jesse thought about this.
"I'll lead the team of four." He said. "Just punch me up a map and I'll go retrieve my team." He said confidently.
The Chief nodded. "Alright." He told him. "Your team will be of Meyers, Conners, Soule and Lanar." He said. "Go get 'em."
Jesse hurried off as he heard the Chief admitting marines to Smith's team, and the Captain barking orders, firing at the enemy vessels.
Jesse went to each of his team's quarters, introduced himself, and lead them off.
About four minutes later, Lanar asked, "Sir, the mission, it seems more suitable for special Ops, so why are we here?" He asked. Jesse was counting on them not knowing eachother, thinking each of them had been invited to accompany a special Ops unit. Too bad.
He stopped and faced them.
"Listen soldiers. I'm not gonna lie to you. There was a blast on the launch bays, and now there are only a few Special soldiers left. You are the next qualified, and it is important that we complete this mission, so you have to be brave and trust me." He told them.
He waited for their response. Finally, from Meyers, "I'm with you all the way chief!" He said. The others nodded in hesitant agreement.
They took off once again down the corridors, and accidently intercepted a group of Covenant.
Jesse ducked and rolled behind an indent in the wall, confirming a door. Lanar Meyers and Soule took up main firing positions, open to hits. COnners did the same maneuver as Jesse, but in the opposite direction. They raised their battle rifles and fired covering fire, as Soule Meyers and Lanar kept up the Suppressing fire.
They were to close quarters for a grenade just yet, so Jesse paused and scanned the area. Bingo! He found what he had been looking for.
"Gimme cover!" He shouted to his men, in too much of a hurry to use his COM. He bolted across the Hall, firing his battle rifle with one hand. He dove and fired, just narrowly missing an over charged plasma rifle shot which his shields would not have suppressed. As he dove, his free hand came in contact with a button, closing the blast doors. He lay on his back for a few seconds.
'It only takes fifteen seconds for them to close.' He thought. 'Seven… Eight… Nine..'
He waited another two seconds, then lobbed a grenade in. It blew a second after the blast doors closed, killing what was left of the group behind the shield of the doors. He breathed a breath of relief.
He opened the door, and a minute later, him and his team were on their way again…

Ramseeses moved alone down the Human corridors. So far, there had been no resistance where he was headed, Sometimes the occasional patrol came by, and Rams would crouch down in a certain spot making him invisible as they passed. He came up upon a place where there had been a small battle.
The corridor itself was small, which puzzled him when he saw the marks from a human grenade. He identified all the fallen, and it seemed there had been no human casualty, or even a hint of injury. Strange. He kept moving on through the corridors. He came up on a marine patrol of two, and there was no time to hide as they open fired on him.
He took cover behind some supply cases. He lobbed a grenade over his head, and heard the two marines startle. He stood up and fired his plasma rifle, burning the flesh and blood away on one of the dazed marines.
The other marine came back open firing. Rams ran across the length of the corridor, firing back. He got lucky, and managed to over power the marine as it faulted on it's shot. He killed it with another few plasma hits. He walked up to the other marine, who was just barely clutching to life.
"I shall free you." He told the marine, as he pulled out his energy sword, ad mutilated the it.
