Elidor waited in the hangar at the New York base as the sirens sounded throught the facility. There were people rushing all over this base, since it is one of the largest bases the UNSC uses. A few Pelicans flew out of the hangar, headed off to the battle. Soon after they left the hangar the ground shaked as explosions landed near or possibly on the base.
"Good god, how did they get here so fast?" Elidor wondered as he waited for his Platoon to arrive. They hadn't been able to enlist new soldiers into it so he had the 82nd Special Operations 2nd Squad come to aid them. The 1st and 3rd 82nd squads had already been sent out...they had lost contact with 1st squad a few minutes ago.

Minous runs into the hangar, half ready with his gear hanging to one side. He looks around confusingly and, after seeing Elidor and Retnuh, ran over to them, fixing his gear as he ran.
"What's going on here?"

"Ah, good to have you both here. The Covenant have massed a large force and have started an attack on New York City...i'll tell you more when everyone else gets here." Elidor said, looking around for everyone else.

"Gee, thats nice of them." Minous unhooks a frag from his belt and tosses it repeatedly in the air. "Hey, where's Mattrik? I don't think he wants to miss this," he says as he hooks the frag back on his belt.

Elidor tapped his foot waiting for the Special Operations squad.
"Where could they be? Before long the Covenant will be breaking down the defensive wall!" Elidor said as more explosions rocked the base.
"Those Wraiths have got a lock on the base, we better go take them out."

"Hmmmm i'm not sure. I'd like to wait for the other team but we can't just sit around here forever......go on top of the bases walls and tell me what you see. It most likely won't be good but it would be nice to know what i'm going to have to fly through. Then, just radio me through your headset and i'll come pick you up with my Pelican when the other team arives. Good luck and be safe." Elidor saluted Minous and started to concentrate on looking for the other team.

Trenal sprints out of his room, suddenly awakened by the sirens. He noticed they must have been going on for awhile, nobody was around. Trenal suited up and found his men waiting for him. "What are we gunna do Sarge?!?!? THEY'RE GUNNA KILL US!" one frightened Special Operations soldier yelled, grabbing Mattrik's shoulders and shaking him, "GET back in formation soldier!" Trenal said, pushing the soldier away, "Follow me. I'm getting to the Major. Second Squad, form up!" Trenal yelled as he found his battle rifle and ran out with the men to the hangar. Finding Elidor, Mattrik quickly saluted and asked, "Sir, awaiting orders sir."

Hello there Mattrik, its good to have you. The Covenant have attacked our HQ and to the best of my knowledge we arn't doing to well. Your squad is going to reinforce my squad since we havn't gotten re-supplied with more troops. Private Minous has just gone out to get some status on what were facing. Once he sends the information to us we'll be on our way." Elidor hopped into the Pelican and looked back at everyone. "Ok, load up, were leaving ASAP."
Elidor then ran off to two Pelicans that were about to take off and asked them to form in around Elidor's ship.

Minous's voice came over the Com. The sound of wind and panting suggested that he was running. "Sir, it...it's horrible. Thousands of Covenant...Wraiths and Banshees everywhere...Its not looking good.
An explosion was heard over the Com, followed by the sounds of plasma fire, followed by a second explosion. As the firing stopped, Minous's voice spoke once more over the Com.
"Sir, orders?"

Elidor talked over the com. "Banshees eh? Well, your gonna have to run back here, sorry Minous, but I can't take the chance of getting hit by one of those Banshee bombs when I land to pick you up. Again, be careful on your way. Good luck!" Elidor then headed back to his Pelican and waited for Minous to arive.

Trenal ordered his men into the Pelican, and briefed them. The atmosphere was so heavy with solomnity, it was almost suffocating. Every man was serious. Second squad had got one more recruit, however they still only had 11. Twelve men was the reccomended and maximum squad size. Of course, in times like these, the maximum of any military unit was "reccomended". Trenal ordered the men to the hold and awaited orders. They were HellJumpers. They jumped into hell, and every time, they got out.
