“Yo, 4728. Mind if leave them a little present before we leave? I was very good with explosives in training. Maybe a Sylver might, oh I don’t know, accidentally roll into a pile of explosives and trigger them?” Eren was grinning again.

Mission 8: Flight of the Vultures
“Frostfall Company, report to the primary hangar to receive further instruction.” A voice came over their comms. The weight of the last battles began to get to 4728. Boarding the Heavenly Chorus was suicidal and his casualties reflected that. Twenty one Foxtrots lost, either to the Drones, or the Elites. Then the additional five lost in the bridge collapse this morning as they tried to rendezvous with Foxtrot Command forces.
4728 found himself in the hangar, where the rest of Frostfall company would be found. Amongst them were new faces, more additions to his suicide force. He sent a weary glance their way as he approached the officer.

One of the new faces was sitting on a bench, gravity hammer resting beside him. He looked over the rest of Frostfall Company, and then to the ground.
Angela was writing in a notebook. She looked up as 4728 entered the hangar. A sigh escaped her lungs, and the returned to the diagram she was sketching.

“Spartan 4728, your next objective is to secure the Last Regiment’s weapons projects. They are located toward the bottom of New Alexandria city. We’re giving your team three Vultures, a Pelican to escort your Heavies as well as the plans, and enough Hawks to accommodate your remaining forces.” The officer nodded and left. The door opened to reveal a hangar full of the vehicles.
“Alright, Foxtrots, you heard the man. Gear up and get inside one of these things.” 4728 shouted.
OOC: If you have multiple 2545s or H/S characters, they should all be in one Vulture.

Eren walked up in his support configuration, but his helmet was off showing his face and braid of hair. He hadn’t had time to cut it so he had another Foxtrot tie it. “See something you like Angela?” He chuckled to himself and grabbed his LMG from a crate.

“Rhak Leree, you have performed excellently today. And yet you have still failed in slaying their leader. It is a bittersweet turnout. Now, the infidels are trying to defend something in their city. I wish for you to seek it out and bring it to me, it is possible they possess a relic.” Merse said, dismissing him.
Hal did not have much time. She needed to leave while she still could, her wedding almost a week away. “Teku, Maul, this is it. I am a heretic. You are either with us, or against us.” Hal said.
Maul lookes between Teku and Hal in shock. “Hal, surely you jest-” Maul started.
“I do not. I have a cell of heretics just like myself on this ship.” Hal explained.
“Hal…” Maul sighed.
“Maul, Teku, please, I would not explain this to you if I did not consider you close.” Hal said.
“I am for the Covenant, Hal. My brother is. My father is. His brother is for the Covenant, and even his father was for the Covenant. I will shame my family by joining you.” Maul paused. “But, for a friend, who wishes not to see you fall in the unfair, dishonorable combat that Rhak might use to take your head, I will follow you, Hal.” Maul said.
“Brothers, there is purging to be done. Nos, would you like to give our prayers?” Rhak asked.

“All I see is a foolish, violent pig” Angela answered, whilst continuing with her notes.
Ambrose stood, picking up his spartan laser, and checking the sync with his helmet. Once satisfied, he placed it on his back. He picked up his magnum, checked the weapon for jams, and placed it on his hip. Finally, he picked up his hammer, examining the weapon he had fought with so many times. H let the heavy weapon fall to the ground, and drag behind him as he walked towards the vultures.

Butch emptied his Magnum into the last approaching Elite, killing it as the rain seemed to increase across the city.
“Butch… We can do this. Foxtrot Command has our backs.” Claire said, patting his shoulder. Butch looked down at his kill.
“No, Claire. They’re not. We’re worthless to them.” Butch said softly.
“What?” Claire spat.
“Foxtrot Command has changed, my dear.” Butch said, crying a little beneath his helmet.
“No. What would your father say if he saw you now?” Claire all but shouted at him.
“He’d say it flat out, I am a disappointment for not doing anything.”
“You’re wrong, Butch. You clearly just disrespect your father because you couldn’t see how he couldn’t fail. You probably feel jealousy. So much jealousy that he had so much more going for him. But don’t worry. If we serve Foxtrot Command as if your father was in charge, I’m sure we can become more.” Claire said.
“She’s so wrong it hurts.” Butch thought, before nodding. “Right.” He said.
“Alright, I need people in these Vultures, they won’t fly themselves.” 4728 called as he, Robert, Andy, Faith, James, and Max climbed into one.

Ambrose just laughed, and turned his head back forward. He continued towards the Vultures, and boarded the one 4278 had.
“I’d be happy to.” Angela said, her voice warm and friendly. She closed the book, and looked around the hangar “We should probably get moving though, before we get left behind.”
