Fireteam Storm

Fireteam Storm was a UNSC Spartan fireteam that operated from 2554 until 2557. Originally composed of two SPARTAN II second class supersoldiers, two SPARTAN IV supersoldiers, and the "dumb" AI Scarab, the fireteam was based aboard the UNSC infinity, and carried out multiple operations on Instillation 03, Installation 05, and New Mongolia. In 2557, the group became stranded on the Forerunner shield world of Requiem, and while they were able to stop the sinister machinations of a rogue monitor, all but two members of the team were killed before rescue could arrive. 
A second iteration of the team was formed several months later, consisting now mostly of SPARTAN-IVs. This team would fight in the Requiem Campaign before becoming involved a battle to stop an ONI black operations group known as the Institute from wiping out all non-humans in the galaxy. After this, the team was officially dissolved, and it's remaining members would go on to form Fireteam Perseus. 
== Members ==
=== Ben-110 ===
Benjamin-D110, often known simply as Ben-110, was a SPARTAN-II supersoldier from PROJECT: HEMITHEOS, a smaller, less successful group of supersoldiers recruited, augmented, and trained by a private military organization under orders from the Office of Naval Intelligence. Born in Dublin, Ireland in 2534, Ben was recruited for the program at 13 years old, and was one of only five of the "G2" class to survive augmentation. From 2549 to 2552, Ben served as leader of Striker Team, a squad composed of fellow G2 spartan Dage-D099 and four other independently produced SPARTANS. Shortly before OPERATION: Red Flag, Ben was sent to the ocean world of Aquaria to investigate Covenant forces there. During the Fall of Reach, Striker Team was wiped out, with only Ben and his friend Orion-D023 making it back to Earth in time for the war's final battle. Becoming disillusioned with the UNSC and his role as a soldier, Ben would desert the military in 2558, returning to Aquaria to live a life of freedom and peace. 
=== Orion-023 ===
Orion-D023 was a peer of Ben, being forcibly inducted into the SPARTAN Program at the age of 12. While sent away from his friends for much of the Human-Covenant war, Orion would reconnect with Ben and Dage during the Fall of Reach, and was nearly killed after his Pelican was destroyed while fleeing the planet, floating near death in orbit for many weeks. After being recovered by Ben and awoken from his coma, Orion joined up as the second member of Fireteam Storm. A roguish individual, Orion often clashed with the other members of Fireteam Storm, and planned to one day leave the UNSC behind and return home to New Phoenix on Earth. Orion worked alongside Scarab, a "dumb" AI designed to help manage squad logistics and interpersonal relationships. Both Orion and Scarab would meet their end after the squad became stranded on Requiem: Scarab was destroyed by hostile Promethean armigers, and Orion would sacrifice himself to destroy a prototype Composer. 
=== Jack ===
Jack Hill was a former UNSC army engineer, recruited into the SPARTAN-IV program after fighting alongside Ben-110 during the Battle of Earth. Fluent in Huragok, Sangheli, and Kig-Yar, Jack was also an expert with human, covenant, and even forerunner technology, and acted as the voice of reason for a squad often driven by emotion. Despite his lack of experience as a SPARTAN, Jack's intelligence and resilience made him the team's de-facto second in command, and upon Ben-110's desertion, he was promoted to the leader of the newly formed Fireteam Perseus. Known only to his closest friends, however, was Jack's disdain for ONI and the UNSC military-industrial complex: in his spare time, he was known to seek out UNSC military secrets with the intent to one day expose their darkest acts.
=== Alyson ===
Formerly an ODST heavy weapons operator, Alyson Balfour was recommended for the SPARTN-IV program after showing incredible fighting prowess during the Battle of Tribute. A woman of few words, rumors spread amongst other Spartans that Alyson's muteness stemmed from injuries sustained during Tribute's fall: in actuality, she simply preferred to let her actions speak for her. On Fireteam Storm, Alyson worked as the squad's heavy, often taking on groups of enemies by herself in order to draw fire from her comrades. This would prove to be her downfall: during the assault on 575 Accompany Rage's Prototype Composer in 2557, Alyson was gunned down by a horde of Prometheans while trying to protect Jack.
