I'd Live There

Flying around in pan-cam is so much fun, it should be illegal.

Winter Contingency has been declared

SPOILER ALERT!

In-progress Mission Report: Sierra 320.

07:35 Hours: Command lost contact with the relay outpost at Visegrad. After a team of Army troopers went missing in that area, Col. Holland insisted that Noble Team would be sent to investigate.

08:01 Hours: We've touched down. Something's wrong here. A lot of buildings are burning, and a lot of people are gone.

08:07 Hours: Emile found a distress beacon, but there was no clue of the people who'd left it there. A lot of blood, though.

08:23 Hours: Emile encountered some colonists, and unsurprisingly reacted with hostility. Thankfully Jorge was there to diffuse the situation. We've already got far too much people with anti-UNSC sympathies out there, no need to put oil on the fire. The colonists said something attacked them during the night... Insurrectionists?

08:32 Hours: We proceeded through the village, and made an unsettling discovery: the mangled corpses of the missing Army troopers. Their bodies showed signs of interrogation. Insurrectionists may be brutal, but I don't think this is their handiwork. There are clawmarks all over the place.

08:35 Hours: Something's seriously wrong here. I don't think we're dealing with Insurrectionists. The entire team feels it, but we don't want to say anything. I suspect we're just dealing with the tip of an iceberg here.

08:39 Hours: Our worst fears have been realized: the Covenant are on Reach. Putting our shock and disbelief aside, Noble Team went to work. The Covenant had been alerted to our presence, however, and commenced a counterattack.

"That's the Spirit!"

08: 42 Hours: This, as expected, severely brightened up Emile's day.

"Why so serious?"
Photobucket

08:50 Hours: Even Noble Six joined in on the 'festivities'... I'm starting to wonder if he'll become a liability.

"The Dukes of Reach"

08:51 Hours: At least he's effective.

"Only death in their wake."

08:53 Hours: I guess they didn't call him a hyper-lethal vector for no reason.

09:00 Hours: And even though we defeated the Covenant at Visegrad, I have a sense things are going to get worse before they get better. Winter Contingency has been declared: it's only a time before Reach goes the way of Harvest. Noble Team is still planet-side, however, and, to quote Jorge, "The Covenant are in for a world of hurt."
