All hell breaks loose. Alarms go off, rebels swarm out of buildings, and Blaster can be heard over the intercom yelling, “DON’T LET THEM GET TO THE PRISONERS!”.
“Want some music?” asks Phoenix.
“Hell yes.”
Phoenix hacks the intercom. The Halo Theme begins to blare very loudly.
“I love this song!” shouts Scorch as he lasers a rebel wharthog.
Rook heads to the prisoner area
“moose where are you”
rook sees nothing but blood as he steps forward a knife flys buy his head
“Where do you think you’re going?” asks Gears.
He walks to retrieve his knife from the head of the hidden rebel.
“We are going to find Moose and Reaper together.”
“This is the only prisoner area but there is just blood”
says rook
Gears grits his teeth.
“Then follow the blood.”
I can’t loose my brother, not again.
(Exactly 48 hours until MCC)
They follow the blood to a hole in the ground
“hey gears probley a bad time but do you know what knightism is the scientist mentioned it in the recording”
says rook
A look of sheer horror crosses Gears face. He falls to his knees and throws off his helmet.
“It’s too late. Even if we broke the mind control device implanted in Reaper…”
Gears draws his magnum and holds it to his temple.
“Gears what are you doing don’t do this think about your brother think about Artemis”
says rook
Gears lowers the gun.
“You’re right… but… Moose is gone. If what you say is true, he won’t remember anything, he’ll be like a mindless slave.”
“Wait we don’t know what is down that hole we have to know If he is still alive”
says rook
“Phoenix is-”
“Moose and Reaper are both down there. Oh, and this blood, it’s Reaper’s.”
(Got to go to bed now.)
A third unconscious Spartan is also down there. But his SMGs’ nozzle was hot as if was fired recently.
(better?)
“You didn’t a answer my question what is knightism”
says rook
“don’t mean to interrupt but I am picking up another IFF tag down there it’s not reaper or moose”
says phoenix
“Who the heck is it? And why would he be down there?”
“Hey anyone down there”
says rook
“reapers life signs or going down”
says phoenix
Gears grabs his SAW and jumps down into the hole.
“MOOSE! WHERE ARE YOU?!”
