This story may be a little slow. It took me a while to come up with it. The next story will be action packed. Please leave comments on what you think about it.

September 3rd, Ferris system
Harman sat in the mess hall of the cruiser Brown Eagle. He took the last bight of his hotdog and then the loud speaker opened up, "All personal of the 101st Marine Air Force wing and 82nd Tactical Fighter wing, please report to the briefing room." Harman got up from the chair and left the mess hall.
He joined up with a few other members of the 101st heading towards the briefing room. He turned a corner and got into the lift and pushed the down button, as the lift doors began to close some one yelled, "Hold the lift!" Harman recognized the voice as his wingman Lavi. He quickly pushed the stop button and the lift stopped moving and the doors opened up again, "Hey, thanks Harman."
"No problem," replied Harman.
"Do you know what this is about?" asked Lavi.
"Well before lunch, I heard some men talking about the Covenant might jump into the system. For all I know it could just be a drill."
"Yea, I hope it isn't, I wanna kick some alien ass!" yelled Lavi
"Don't worry, you'll get you chance," replied Harman. The lift suddenly jerked and came to a stop, after about 10 seconds the doors parted and reviled a crowded hall. Harman and Lavi stepped off of the lift and proceeded down the hall. They took the first right and came to a door, which had the words, BRIFING ROOM writing in gold on it. Harman pushed the door open and came into a large room with one circular table in the middle. He moved down the rows of Marines and took a seat near the middle next to one of the 82nd pilots.
The units captain stood up and spoke, "Alright ladies! The Covenant have jumped into system, they launched a wave of Serphas not to long ago, they should ETA with our ships in about half an hour. Only thing is, we wont let them reach the other side! We will wait for them on the dark side of the plant, as soon as they are within range we blast the living hell out of em." after this there was a series of cheers, "Don't get to happy yet, once the fighters are gone the 82nd will move to bombard the ships, the 101st will provide cover. Is this clear?!"
"Sir yes sir!" replied the pilots all at once.
"Alright, move out! Be in the bays in 5." And with this all of the men and women left the room to get ready for the fight that lay ahead.
Harman walked down to his room to grab his flight suite. He opened the door and walked inside to see Shami; one of his pilots getting ready, "So, you ready?" Shami asked.
"Yea, im ready to kick some ass."
"Yea, me to," he replied and headed towards the door.
"Hey, tell Lavi to get the men together, ill be there in a few." Harman replied back.
"Ok, ill do that," replied Shami as he left the room. Harman the turned back to the door and pulled his flight suite on. After about 2 minutes he was ready to go. He grabbed his helmet and left the room and made for the launch bay.
As he walked through the door to the bays he ran strait into Paul, the 82nd squad leader, "Heres what im thinking, you guys hang out in front and take them head on, if any of them get past your lines well take em out. Sound good?"
"Sounds perfect," replied Harman. He then continued down and stopped in front of his Long Sword Fighter. It was a jet black with shark teeth on either side of the nose. Harman ran his hand over the armour and then turned to face his squad, "Saddle up and once every one is out there take up Delta position, we will wait on the dark side of the planet, once every one of the bastards if facing us you will Fire at will! Is this clear?"
"Sir yes sir," yelled the pilots together.
"alright, saddle up and lets do our job," said Harman. He then turned to face his jet and jumped into the cockpit. The plane began to rotate on the plat form and soon faced the open bay doors. Harman did a system check and then activated the after burners. He brought up the fighters nose and gunned the engine. His fighter shot out of the bay and into the blackness of space. Harman did a loop and began to circle the ship waiting for every member of the 101st to clear the bay. As each pilot left the bay they would radio in as clear. They waited till the last man of both squads's radioed in. Harman then activated the COM link and spoke, "Alright, the 82nd will be trailing behind us. So get into Delta formation and lets go!" Harman took his position in front of the formation and the squad headed towards the dark side of the planet. The squad stopped on the other side of the planet and Harman spoke again, "Alright, hold here. Remember, don't fire until the last fighter crosses into the dark."
The two squads sat for about half an hour until a Lavi broke the silence, "Sir, the first fighter just crossed."
Harman then looked up and saw a purple tear drop shaped ship coming around the planet. Behind it came about 60 more of the machines. Once they were in range Harman opened the COM again, "Open Fire!" after saying this Harman slammed down the trigger to the two 70mm chin guns.
To be continued...
