Harmony and Bounties

Sighing in frustration at command at for not sending orders, SPARTAN Talbot and the rest of Fireteam Harmony were currently sat atop a ridge, below them, in the valley, was the base of operations of the local Covenant remnat faction. Their current mission was to locate and eliminate said remnant faction. However, they were currently being help up by command as they waited for the order to move in.

"GAAAHH!!" Rachel shouted, punching a rock in frustration. "How long does it take command to process the order to move in!? I'm itching to start blasting some Covies!" "We all are." Came the reply from the fireteam's sniper. "They probably just have their hands full at the moment." Turning away from Rachel, she went back to looking through the scope of her sniper rifle, scanning the base for any sign of suspicious enemy movement. "HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL!?" Shouted Rachel. "Last time I heard, most SPARTANS were in the INFINITY's War Games section, increasing their SR! How can they have their hands full!?"

"Calm down, Rachel." The fireteam's scout said, her hand holding Rachel's shoulder. "It's nothing to get angry at." "Yeah, you're right." Rachel said hanging her head and sighing. "I guess I'm being over-reactive." The comms in their helmets then crackled to life. "UNSC INFINTY to Fireteam Harmony. Do you read me? Over." "We read you, INFINTY." Rachel replied, sliding her helmet on over her head, the others doing the same. "The light is green, Harmony. Move in and take them out. Acknowledge?" "Solid copy, INFINITY. Harmony out."

Turning to the other members of Fireteam Harmony, she knelt down on the dirt, pulling out her knife and taking off her helmet, the others doing the same. "Ok, so here's the plan." Carving her knife into the dirt, she drew a rough plan of the base into it. "We know that their leader is hiding somewhere inside. I'd like a team of two to go in and try and find him." The scout and CQC specialist both raised their hands. "Alright. Now that that's sorted," Rachel pointed her knife to the sniper. "Stay here and cover our backs. Watch for any troops returning and, if possible, take as many out as you can." The sniper nodded in acknowldgement. "Rest of you, with me. Shoot any in-human sonovabitch dumb enough to get in our way. Our target is the generators. If we blow them, no more base." Flipping her knife back around, she sheathed it. "You all know what you're doing?" They nod in acknowldgement. "Alright. Prepare yourselves. We move out in 5."

Zin Laz - T'vaoan Mev-ut Hunter
Axelsius IV, evening scouting.
Ooh more Hunters.

Skulking around the bushes, such a fun past time, the T'vaoan would be fully kitted up for the hunt. Dark green painted T'vaoan combat armor on with his helmet attached to the back of his belt and goggles instead over his head so he could still hear. Best to be prepared when going on a dangerous assignment - and this was one of the most dangerous. The target wasn't however, just a middling Ibie'Shan who had a loooong backlog of theft and murder that some Ruuthian business man wanted dead. But this Ibie was in the little heretic brigade. Aecor only knows if she believed in the cause, was using it to get more murdering done, was just doing it for money. But the contract had been posted and Zin was int he area so he was able to pick it up.

The T'vaoan currently slowly moving toward the edge of the ridge - rifle across back and the dull glow of his plasma pistol on his thigh as he crawled toward where the little base was said to be located. This could actually work out really well for him as if he was able to get pictures, he needed to get a picture of the dead Kig so had his PP with him to take that, of the base and its defenses he could probably get paid by Human UNSC too. Little bonus for scouting in this danger zone. Goggles down and carefully watching them as he finally crested the ridge. At least the report was right there was the camp. Zin starting to take out his DMR so he could scope down and better get a handle on its defenses as well as try to find his target.

But then he heard...Human shouting? Had the Remnant taken prisoners?

Scanning around some more Zin found nothing or the sort and the shouting continued. Slowly getting up and keeping his DMR drawn he returned to skulking as he edged around the lip of the ridge toward where some thick trees seemed to be making and blocking a lot of the noise. Going slow he could see six blips on his goggles motion tracker and they sure were Human so this wasn't some other Remnant camp. He would have to go back to trying to find his target after checking out this.

Staying in a low crouch Zin reached the edge of the trees and took a quick peak around the trees, just a T'vaoan skull with goggles and green feathers for just a second if not less, before ducking back around. Some of the Human new age Demons! That could be interesting and if six of them were here they could maybe help each other or at least cause a distraction so he could get his target...He should go introduce himself to them then, see if they need another rifle. Sure sounded like they were talking about plans now and he personally would have tried to be sneaky and get to a generator before trying to make the noise but it was something they could talk about.

But as the T'vaoan thought about how best to introduce himself to the augmented Human killing machines they likely just say a Skirmisher peak around at them and then vanish, with them right near the Remnant camp, but their motion trackers and hearing would let them know it hadn't left. Probably planning an attack!

Current Mission: Invade the Covenant remnant base, destroy it and the troops.

While they waited to leave, the eagle-eyed sniper spotted something suspicious peak around the bushes near to their camp. "Erm, Rachel?" She asked, grabbing the fireteam leader's attention. "Yeah? What is it." Rachel asked the sniper. "I just spotted something peak out from behind the bushes. I think we might be being watched by someone." "Acknowledged.2 Rachel said, turning to the rest of Fireteam Harmony. "Alright, gals. When we move out, don't let your guard down. Turns out we might be being watched by someone. Could be a remnant scout or something entirely different." She said to them. "So, stay sharp."

Picking up her helmet, Rachel slid it onto her head as she then holstered her M20 SMG onto the sid eof her right thigh and grabbed hold of her HYDRA MLRS, the rest of Fireteam Harmony following their leader's example and gathering up their equipment. Rachel then stomped out the fire with her boot, leaving a trail of smoke where the fire used to be. "Gals, we're moving out." She said, starting to head of down the ridge to the remnant base. The rest of Fireteam Harmony followed her, the sniper staying back to watch the camp. "Keep yours eyes peeled for anyone watching." Rachel said through their in-helmet comms. "They could be either a remnant scout or something else entirely. We don't want them jeopardising our mission." Different variations of "Affirmative." came from the other members of Fireteam Harmony.

Zin Laz - T'vaoan Mev-ut Hunter
Axelsius IV, evening scouting.
Uhhhh hi?

Zin sucked in a breath when he could hear the Demon people talking that they had seen it. The T'vaoan expecting them to charge through the underbrush and trees to flatten him. So he quickly set his rifle down and held his hands at shoulder level before he heard them talking about just leaving? How odd...But hed take not being flatted as he quickly scooped up his rifle again. From what he could hear they were indeed leaving. Odd but he supposed they thought he wouldn't try to kill the sniper or couldn't take them one on one? That was awfully presumptuous of them. They hadn't seen what weapon he had or if there were more enemies behind him. He thought the Demons would be less open to leaving things to chance like that.

But he shrugged as he slipped his rifle over his shoulder and held his hands visible and open at around stomach level as he stepped out fully into the snipers view. Now revealed as a T'vaoan in custom painted armor, Human DMR stock over his shoulder with its suppressed barrel visible by his waist, and thick goggles over his eyes as he tried to smile at the sniper.

"Hello D..Spartan I believe?" He started in English, gauging her reaction before continuing. "I am Zin Laz - a Mev-Ut hunter or what you would call a Bounty Hunter. My target is one of the Remnant soldiers down there, I think we can help each other out. Work together to eliminate threats?" He suspected they would say no, or no and then tie him up to make sure he wasn't lying and going to fire at them, but if they killed everyone he could still find his dead target later and get paid all the same.
