U.N.S.C. Destroyer Say My Name.
October 20th, 2552 [Military Calender]
Low orbit over New Mombasa.


Mickey(PFC Micheal Krespo): "Well the Navy put up a good fight..."

Romeo(LCP Kojo Agu): "Better late then never."

Dutch( CP Taylor Myles): "Why don't you show some respect Romeo."

Romeo: "Just say Dutch, Look...They missed one."

Dutch: "No, they left it for us."
[Alarm blaring]

Buck( Sgt Eddie Buck): "Alright, you know the music, time to dance. Pods, Now."

Dare( Cpt Veronica Dare): "Replacements?"

Buck: "This many years into the war....who isn't?"

Dare: "At least they listen-"

Buck: "To me.... and they're not gonna' like what they hear."

Dare: "Orders are orders."

Buck: "C'mon Veronica, what could be more important than that Carrier?-"

Dare: "My orders, and Buck? Call me Captain"

Dare: "I'd pass on that dance, but you can show me where to sit."

Mickey: "What the hell kinda armour was she wearing?"

Romeo: "Don't know Mickey, I wasn't looking at her gear."
[Dutch picks up a Suppressed M7 caseless submachine gun]

Romeo: " Pphhbgh! Seriously?"

Dutch: " What? Gotta be close quarters."
[Romeo picks up a M9 Shotgun]

Romeo: "Exactly."
[Buck points dare to her SOEIV* pod]

Buck: "Second to last, right next to mine."

Romeo: " You gonna tell s her name gunny?"

Buck: "Mizz Naval Intelligence, our new boss--"

Mickey: "Oh brother."

Buck: "--So check your mouths, find your chairs and get set for a combat drop."
[Buck shoves a SSNR-99 Sniper Rifle in Romeos hands.]

Romeo: " What the hell am I supposed to do with this inside a Covenant ship."
[ Romeo violently wakes the Rookie (FNG [classified]) with the butt of his Rifle.]

Romeo: "Wake up buttercup"

Dutch: " Relax Rookie, he don't mean nothin'. Besides, nows one of those times where it pays to be a strong, silent type."

                                                                                  ***

The doors of the SOEIVs shut, with all the Helljumpers** ready to drop. The Rookie fixed his submachine gun into the holding rack in the pod and looked up to see the bay doors open. The bay doors opened to reveal a sight of carnage and destruction. The Covenant Carriers laid waste to the puny U.N.S.C. battleships, burning through 2 metres of titanium hull like a match through ricepaper with their plasma weapons. The droppod launch protocols initiated and the pods disengaged from the the launch bay, drifting slowly in Micro-gravity. As soon as all the pods were clear of the hull, Say My Name shot away to join the fight.


                                                                                  ***

Buck: "Troopers, We are green and VERY VERY MEAN!!"
[ The 30+ pods fired their boosters and sped through the upper atmosphere.]
