Thread: Halo: Evolution (BlisteredXCommie)

A lone pelican flew off of the ship 'Triumph' a frigate that was developed shortly after it's captain was fully inaugurated. The ship itself was flying to one of the newly developed MAC orbital stations around the planet earth, many had built in case of another disaster or war like the covenant war that happened only 25 years before. While this was going on there was already rumors that SPARTANs were being created, a new fourth generation but most of those were rumors were just rumors. Well at least to Emily Greenwood which had always looked up to the Spartans due to their heroic conquer of the Alien Covenant though they were still around they had peace. When the ship had landed in one of the loading bays on the MAC station Emily's thoughts were racing as Lord Hood was going to announce something big which happens right after she had been just recently promoted. Her eyes though showed another side of her calm, serene despite how excited, worried she was inside at the speech that Lord Hood would tell the best six captains he had under him. While she went through customs the notice spoke of six captains going out into the universe to discover a new place to live, as well as resources to mine as they needed more due to overhauling their military force. The war had left them really weak and even Reach was still glassed but slowly regaining its former glory. Though that planet was off limits to them due to ONI wanting a piece of the action as well as owning already a large amount of Reach they had begun their own kind of rebuilding on that planet. Though there was talk of possible recolonization at the moment ONII had only stated they wanted to rebuilt their facilities. While back on Earth their natural resources were starting to dwindle so this exploration mission was pretty vital. Emily finished going through customs as she kept her roster open of her ship which was going to gain a new crew member, however she didn't have clearance to fully see the member. Her eyes furrowed as she was annoyed to all hell with the military how they didn't tell her everything or any of their trusted Captains or soldiers under their command until the last moment. When she reached the tram she could hear already Lord Hood summoning the rest of the captains to the command center of the MAC space station. The tram moved quickly going through a lot of other work stations aboard the space station itself as it quickly raced to its destination. Emily causally moved to the doors as they slid open quickly the marine saluting her as she walked past him out into the lower command center. She quickly ascended the stairs toward the major platform where Lord Hood stood with his hands behind his back. He had already looked like he was giving the speech that he was going to give them all at once or that could be what she saw as she saw his lips moving. When she finally go into the line of Captains that she saw which were all pretty familiar as most of them had a lot more service under their belts when they were promoted where she was promoted with very little experience in the navy. Lord Hood looked over at her smiling as he nodded, Ah I see you are here. Emily Greenwood, Steven Harking, Cassandra Lark, Tyler Sweely, Travis Tack, Samantha Rooche you are all here as I have an important mission for you. You all know that we have only recently called peace with the Alien race known as the 'Covenant' they costed us dearly, our outer colonies, even our inner colonies almost Earth... He said quickly as he walked past them his hands still behind his back as he turned back around walking back down them speaking again. ...This has left us in a very weak state, so much as a weak state that we cannot even go on much longer without losing what we have unless we find more places to settle and collect our resources. This requires you all go on a dangerous mission with just the frigates that I have given you. Sadly to say Captains that I cannot give you a destroyer or anything higher than a frigate as our stockpiles are running dangerously low, even building the ships that you have now command was enough to drain us considerably considering that they are on the smaller end of our war ships... He continued as he finished that line then turned back around. His eyes met all of theirs as he continued to talk again, ...Though even with these little to weak odds of success you must go fourth and achieve victory at all costs! You are all we have and we need you all to be ready to give your lives for the colonies that we are to build, and the lives you are saving down on the planet that we all came from! He stopped as he stood in front of all of them his eyes again going over them. I have had coordinates loading into each of your data pads, they will have locations of possible sites that we may be able to harvest or even settle down as we tracked this planets as possibly hospitable. Your mission is to recon these planets and discover if our machinery had the right mark, if not are to return immediately to get another set of coordinates. Otherwise if we don't find something soon we may all parish or at least be at the mercy of whatever could attack us. He finished his speech with 'God speed.' accompied with an salute. Emily saluted him back as she took her pad out already loading the coordinates back to her ship to have her navigator load them. Though the mystery recruit was still not accounted for and she couldn't get past all the red tape to take a look at their file which began to infuriate her. Before she left the platform she walked back to Lord Hood, Sir! I need to ask you a question. She stated in professional tone as Lord Hood nodded, speak. he said quickly as Emily nodded, Sir, I have a new roster and I cannot access their military service record and I am a captain. What is going on? She asked as Lord Hood smiled, Emily, I know that this is infuriating but you must keep faith, though have you heard of the S4's already beginning their launch? That they are being placed on ships on dangerous missions? Well I think that counts as the Triumph becoming an candidate for such a Spartan....so I would keep an ear out besides they should be reporting soon or so I am told. He spoke to her his back to her though a smile was across his lips as he held his hands together. Lord Hood had not forgotten Master Chief's sacrifice nor would he even turn down the S4 program as it could train the best of the best those that would be willing to give their lives like the rest of them though be there like a super man in the dark times. Emily didn't respond but saluted turning away from Lord Hood heading to her ship. Her eyes didn't even leave her data pad as she kept looking over the manifests of the weapons, personal, and other support aboard the Triumph though what bothered her was the random person on her roster that wasn't showing up. As the tram made its way back to the loading dock she could only wonder what this person was and if they were an S4, if so she would be in safe hands hopefully if they believed in Master Chief like she did they would know what it would take to keep the people she cared about safe, to keep Earth safe. That was her thought as the Tram was quickly approaching its destination as the comm already spoke to her telling her that her new recruit was already moving toward the Triumph.
