Through the Fire and the Flames -OPEN-

[Ultra Nerd]

((NOTICE: This story is in the Halo universe. I am recreating my Halloween thread, this time with a backstory and waaaaaay more to go off of then an A.I bantering. Oh, and this time it's not about Halloween. This Story takes place just before the events of Halo 4.))

<<STORY SO FAR>>
The UNSC Frigate 'Ammo, Please' as taken massive damage by covenant cruisers, whom made an ambush on the lone ship above the dense pine forest planet Behiri. -AKA the planet of 10,000 foot tall trees-  Luckily, the giant crashed ship's A.I and a few surviving marines, scientists, captured Insurrectionists, and even a few SPARTANS survived the gigantic crash. Now, Covenant ground troops are moving into the ship to scan the wreckage for anything useful. PM me if you have any questions.

Ultra, Ammo, Please A.I
Behiri, Maridianirekka system
What a Crash!

:!: COVENANT DETECTED! PLEASE EVACUATE! :!:


Ammo, Please has crashed. It's three A.I's (Two brought aboard by SPARTANS, from another Frigate) Ultra, The Bride, and The Groom have all completed the Cole Protocol. Ultra was the ships main A.I, trusted by all aboard for his access to ship comms, constantly playing old Frank Sinatra music, and even announced birthdays. It's crew consisted of a majority of humans, along with some Unggoy and Sangheili Separatists. The two other A.I's are two models conformed together into one Holo-projector. The Bride, named Liz, once worked with The Groom, named Mark, to power a huge UNSC controlled power plant. The duo were brought aboard by some SPARTANS. Now, Ultra has to wake everyone up because Covenant have boarded the remains of the ship. He disliked fighting Covenant, because he wasn't the one fighting. Not that he liked violence, it's just that the person he was made from was incredibly overprotective.

One hell of a wake up call...

Wolf woke up and got out of his cryo pod a little drowsy, he heard that they were being boarded and kicked into high gear as he ran towards the armory to acquire his weapons.

He entered the armory and grabbed his weapons and ammo, loading magazines into his DMR and M6s. He put his helmet on and called to the ships AI, "Hey Ultra, where is the breach?"

He started making his way towards the comms room at a fast walk, rifle ready to shoot any Covenant that got in his way.

(Sorry for the short first post, not entirely sure whats happening.)

(Are Covies needed?...Cheep.)

[RiddL]

I'd assume so if covies are boarding

SSA-012 - Yanme'e Swarm
Yanme'e Mercenaries
Scanning for alternate entrances.

Times had been tough since the great collapse, where the false Queens had been exposed and exterminated as was the will of the true Queens. But several of the Queens subjects had been stranded on worlds belonging to the False leaders. The calls had been sounded to return to the nearest Hives to take stock, but many had been too remote to attempt such an endeavor. SSA was one of those swarms, but they had been lucky and their remote location was plentiful with resources. So they just set up there and waited for more to arrive. Several different ships would fly by but never stopped, until a Sangheili craft offered to take them to a Hive planet in exchange for their weapons and tools. The swarm easily picked up new weapons once they arrived at the Hive but their wanderlust and urge for combat made them not stay for long. With the Queens blessing they now offered their services out to whoever could - scouting for the Queens in this new galaxy and gathering funds and allies for when needed.

The Remnant job had been one taken cautiously as the Yanme'e were on the whole very wary about this new Covenant. But information was needed on them so SSA had accepted the contract on behalf of this objective. Though in-swarm they often debated as to if these extremists were really worth helping. But now they were on assignment, so they were keeping their minds on the task at hand even if some of them were not pleased that they were hunting Sangheili. Breaking from the main Remnant forces they ascended to above the crashed vessel and started to look for alternate entrances.

The main door was the most obvious, but also one of the most guarded as they kept in radio contact with the Remnant forces. A few possible entry points had been found and they were started to enter the vessel. One of the male soldiers dropping down a shaft and fluttering his wings to soften the landed as he landed on something that sparked a bit. Looking down he found himself on the shoulders of a Demon...Spartan. Freezing the bug held up its hands and didn't make a move for its weapons as he perched there. The bug looking a bit different that bugs in the employ of the Covenant as it had a small communications headset on its head and some kind of sash across its chest in addition to a normal belt that had a knife and plasma pistol attached. The bug still having its radio on as the rest of the swarm froze in their entering of the vessel as the soldier quietly clicked out a request.

"Yeild?" It asked, quiet as it seemed to understand that it was in over its head as the perch under it was quite the dangerous one.

(Bug on ya BZRK :> . May bring in more aliens like Cad later but just the swarm for now, trying not to be squashed.)

Sgt Major Skai -Wolf- Blacklock
SPARTAN IV
What the hell!?

Skai quickly turned to see the bug on his shoulders and heard as it said "yield?"

Any other time he would have laughed and driven his knife into its skull, instead he pulled it off of his shoulders and pinned its wings and legs as he put his knees on it.

"You made a healthy decision" he said as he disarmed the poor creature and started dragging it towards the holding cells.

"Why are the Yanme'e boarding this vessel?" He asked as he got to one of the cells and opened the door and pushed the bug in with his boot and closed it again.

He peered into the room and asked again, wondering why the bug had appeared on its own.

SSA-012 - Yanme'e Swarm
Yanme'e Mercenaries
Fractured explanations.

Relaxing slightly when the Spartan seemed to accept his surrender the soldier didn't fight back as he was removed from his shoulders and disarmed. He did click in pain as he was dragged and tried to get back on his feet so he could walk but the Spartan clearly didn't have time for this so instead he just did his best to brace so his carapace would be damaged as little as possible. Despite his headset being removed it was still active as he heard the quiet hiss of a request for a status update, just as the Demon was asking about why they were here. Taking a moment to think of a way to answer both at once the odd pair had just made it to the holding cell room as he replied as best he could.

"Queenlings work, payment, for Remains. Queenlings search entrances for force...Queenlings still searching, may pay for no?" Chittering a bit as he was shoved into the cell he flipped over until he was on his back, quickly trying to roll over as he moved back to the door, tapping against it as he looked at the Demon. "No! No...no leave for Human, is pay, not rage!"

The other Yanme'e were still reporting possible entry locations but were doing so slowly as they could listen in on their comrades plight. Ready to work faster if he was denied or possible stop at all if accepted.


Cad - Kig-Yar Major
Covenant Remnant.
Lets get this started.

Tapping his claws against his shield bracer Cad hissed a bit as the reports from the Yamne'e slowed down. They needed to make a move soon before whatever Humans remained inside alive had time to get properly armed and set up for them. The Kig-Yar currently waiting near the main door to the ship as a few Unggoy worked to cut through the thick door.

Cad was pleased he had found purpose again with the Remnant...though he was sad that his good friend Chieftain Garatus had choose to remain on Doisac and expand his territory after declaring himself an ally of the Humans. He wouldn't call his friend a heretic to his face but he was sad that he had chosen a different path. One where they couldn't fight side by side anymore. Cad nodded a bit, still waiting, as he decided that if this mission was successful he would try to contact his large friend again. The last time they talked they had parted on bad terms, but the longer Cad served the more problems he was seeing and wanted to have a discussion with Garatus again. But a Sangheili's voice in his ear made him snap back to attention as he hissed and nodded. The Yanme'e were taking to long and the Unggoy had finished the cut, just waited to shove the door in.

"We go now! For the Gods brothers!" The Unggoy and Kig-Yar around him roared with religious conviction as the door was shoved inwards, shields active as the Kig-Yar streamed through the opening - a grounded ship boarding.

SPARTAN IV

Ok slow down...


Skai opened up the cell door and closed it behind him, leaving his rifle outside. He looked to the bug and slowly removed his helmet, showing his hard eyes to the insectoid.

"Ok, slow down and lets try this again, you are with the remnants of the Covenant, that means a minority of sangheili, T'voans, Kig-Yar and of course some swarms of the Yanme'e, you want to broker a deal with me so that your swarm get out of this without fighting us. Put me through to your queen or someone of importance and I'll see what I can do." Skai said as he processed the info through his head.

(OOC, Ultra Nerd you up now bro.)
