Halo: Into the Howling Dark V

“Back in the fight!” Catina said as she ran into the area they cleared, and snatched up a Plasma Pistol. Then she ran, and slid on her rear end into cover as a torrent of Plasma fire was sent her way.

“I see one of our cloaked targets.” Catina told Aries over a com as she overcharged her Plasma Pistol. “Right…there!” Catina exclaimed as she quickly stood and got a cloaked Elite with the overcharged shot, making it visible for a few seconds and giving Aries a short amount of time to kill it.

“I want to be like you, Mom.” Mary said. “Or like Uncle Leo… But being a doctor is cool.”

Grace leapt on him. “I’m just joking about acting… I’m dumb and silly.” Grace frowned, on top of Spetz. She hugged him. “What’s on your datapad…”

Aries shot it.

“Now duck!” Catina blurted out as she took advantage of the flunkies focusing their outlandish plasma fire on Aries, as Catina ran to the armory wall, with all the simulated enemies on the roof above her.

Catina paused with her back against that armory wall, to confirm Aries either getting to cover, or being insta-killed and respawning back at the starting point.

“How’s this test run for you so far?” Catina asked Aries over a com.

“Right now we are willing test subjects for this simulation. And it must have been a hyper-genius to have invented this, and we just stole.” Catina added as she lobbed a Plasma Grenade onto the roof, causing Grunts and Jackals to panic & an Elite to jump down in front of her. Who she summarily tackled from behind and emptied her Pistol’s magazine into the back of his head.
