I am extremely sorry to all of you. I have this Friday off from everything, and will use it to give you the updated chapter.

I apologize to everybody, I have been insanely laden down with everything. My car I am trying to fix, my mother just had surgery on her spine, I am bogged down with end of the semester schoool work (and am failing to keep up), and I also have increasing responsibilities at work.

I had intended to get the next chapter up a month ago, but that fell through. I intend to make it up to you, but after this next chapter, I will need more time to focus on my school work. I am in three 200 level classes, psychology, sociology and philosophy. I think you can figure out what that means.

Again I'm sorry, and tune in friday evening U.S. Eastern.

Oh Dear God I managed to finish the chapter.

It isn't quite up to what I call "standards", but I can fix it later. For now though, it will have to do, you have waited long enough.

I also wanted to put a little more "peopleism" into it, but it will have to wait. And yes, I just made up that word. I also wanted to make the encounter at the end more personal with the Covenant, but I wasn't in the name making mode today, so it too will have to wait.
So, here goes.


Chapter 2 Part 2: "Welcome to My World.....-blam!-"


Eric and Roger walked over to the Covenant they had slain, and slowly searched the bodies for useable weapons. They were still in shock after seeing their home since Basic blown to scattered debris. Roger closed his eyes as he picked up a needler and plasma grenade off the grunt. He knew that it would take some time to get over what had just happened, but he also knew that Eric was taking it doubly hard. It was the second home that he had seen destroyed by the Covenant.

Roger looked over to Eric and saw him standing over the Elite, holding it's plasma rifle and staring out the viewport ant the drifting remains of the Athens. He saw the two Marines appointed as their escorts keeping their distance, respectful of what had just happened to them, and anxiously waiting the signal to move on. Roger held up his finger to them requesting a little more time, and recieved a nod in confirmation. Roger then walked over and stood in front of his friend, forcing him to look at his face.

"Eric," Roger said, putting his hands on his friend's shoulders, " Come on man, we need you here."

" I know what is going on in your head. You told me about what happened, remember? Eric, the bastards that did all this are still here." This last comment seemed to grab Eric's attention, and his eyes finally focused on Roger. He blinked several times, took a deep breath, and nodded to Roger.

" You're right," Eric sighed, "and I'm being a selfish fool."

"No you're n..." Roger began, but Eric cut him off.

"Yes I am. Don't argue." Eric turned and motioned for the Marines to lead the way, before reaching down and grabbing two plasma grenades off the dead Elite. He stood up and looked at Roger, while holding up a grenade.

" So lets go and shove it down their throats, eh man?" He said grinning.

Roger smiled back, seeing that his friend had managed to conquer his emotions, and at the prospect of sticking his grenade to a Covenant face. " Damn straight....hey slow down!"

Roger rushed to grab his ruck, and to catch up with the disappearing Marines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trip to the Reactor level was brief and uneventful; Eric used that time to collect himself and focus on the task at hand. This was getting increasingly difficult to do, as the hallways were eerily empty, and the scent of ozone and gun powder lingered in the air.

"Wow, where is everybody?" Roger asked aloud.

" They may have fallen back to the Reactor Room, it is the easiest place to defend down here, and the most vital." replied Thibideau.

" I'll say, who the hell designed these hallways anyway? They are all wierd angles and curves, and all lead to dead ends."


"They are for containment breaches," Thibideau explained, "Those dead ends are weak points in the hull. These hallways are designed to funnel and redirect the blast from a failing reactor to those weak points, where they will blow out into space, and possibly save the rest of the station."

" Well damn," Roger laughed, " Whod've thought I'd get my Atomic Engineering 101 on a combat op?"

" Quiet!" rasped Richards, who had just exited the room, and all but dove back in. He motioned for everybody to stack-up on one side of the doorway. Eric and Roger took the lead spots, shifting their rucks to the front, to be used as shields.

At Richard's signal, they advanced alternately into the hallway, two to the left, and two to the right. Their momentum stopped completely, though, when what they were seeing finally registered.

" Hoooollyyyyy shhhiiitt!" whispered Thibideau.

The smell of burned flesh, oxone, gunpwder, and blood hit them like a hammer. Dozens of partially dismembered bodies lay on the floor where they had fallen. Elites, Marines, Grunts, and Tech Personnel alike were strewn about the hallway. Bullet and blast marks lined the walls, and blood pooled under the bodies. All of the Covenant bodies seemed to come to a head near where a ruined gatling turret was deployed.

" Damn, they made one hell of a stand here.....and I don't think that it worked, " Roger said in awe, pointing to the bodies that led up to a door labeled "Reactor".

" No wonder we only met three up top, " Eric said, "They were all down here."

Nobody bothered to look for serviceable weapons or ammunition, they weren't even certain they could use them if they had to.

Once everybody had picked their way down the hallway, and had taken up postitions on opposite sides of the door, Thibideau put his hand on the scanner. The door opened up, and a squeaky yelp came out of the room beyond.

Thibideau jumped to the side to avoid being shot at. The group heard the snuffling of the grunt, and, thanks to the translation chips in their neural pack, listened as it reported to an Elite.

" There's someone heeere!"

" What" Growled an Elite, "Where?"

" Out there"

" Then go and see where they are!"

" Why me go? You got shield."

" Stop arguing with the Ungoy, " aid a different Elite,"Go and see what is happening."

"Grrh, yes sir" said the first Elite.

As the Elite was stomping over to the door, Eric motioned to shoot it first, then throw grenades into the room.

The Elite leaned around the doorway just moments after they readied themselves. Roger shot first, filling it's face with needles. The Elite screamed in surprise, and tried to pull itself back into the room. But it wasn't fast enough. The combined fire from the groups gun tore through the Elite's shields, shredding it's head and neck.

As the Elite hit the ground, each member of the party pulled a grenade an primed it. They leaned around the corner and threw the grandes, in unison, at whatever targets were available.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The grunt, having seen the Elite die, jumped and spun to the other two Elites yelling, "They Killed him!!" He turned around to fire, but instead watched as a blue ball of flame stuck itself to his chest.

The Grunt screamed in horror, " Get it off! Get it off!" and ran back to his leaders.

The commanding Elite dove out of harms way. The other grabbed the gunt and threw it away from itself, impaling the grunt on the spikes of the object they had brought with them. The grenade on the Grunt then detonated, the resulting explosion daisy-chaining with the grenades in the grunt's pouch, carbonizing it's limp body.

The Elite that threw the grunt turned to kill the impudent humans, but was torn apart by the explosions of the remaining plasma and fraagmentation grenades.

The commanding Elite looked up as it recovered from it's dive, and knew that his time had come. He slumped his shoulders in defeat, and accepted his death. The line of pink that had stitched itself into his body from neck to groin exploded then, killing him instantly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roger preceeded the group into the Reactor Room, scanning to make certain they had totally cleared it. Once he was satisfied he motioned the "all clear" and moved to inspect the spiked object.

"What. In. The. Hell?"

"I don't know," answered Thibideau, walking up behind Roger, "But what ever it is, it's fried." He continued, pointing to the sparking control panel, "I don't think it was made to take three plasma grenades at once."

" Well whatever it is, it was important to the Covenant, " said Eric, "So we can't leave it unguarded."

"I am sorry guys, it looks like this is where we split up. We can't leve this thing alone, and we can't take it with us."

Richards sighed, " Yeah you're right. O.K. We'll stay here and guard it, you two can take that elevator over there, " he said, pointing across the room.

"It's an escape elevator, and it only goes up. once it starts moving, it will seal the door between it and this room. It should come up under the tram at Docking Bay "B"."

Eric nodded in reply, moving to the Elevator, " Thank you both, we'll get someone to send som men down to help you."

"It'd be appreciated." said Richards as he took up a guard at the door with Thibideau.

Roger pulled the docking release as soon as Eric was on the Elevator, launching them up four levels to Docking Bay "B".

They rolled out as the door was opening, and cleared their room. The smell of gunpowder hung in the air again.

Fearing the worst, they turned the corner to see several Marines standing guard near an airlock entrance, and Covenant bodies dotting the hallway beyond. They hailed the Marines and moved out of cover to show they meant no harm.

" Is this the In Amber Clad?" yelled Eric.

"Yeah, what's it to you?" yelled back one of the guards.

" We were just transferred to her, permission to board?"

"Yeah, come aboard, and go straight to the bridge and talk to either Johnson or Miss Keyes. Now move it"

Eric and Roger looked at each other, then walked through the air lock and into the ship. Their new home.

Yeah I agree with you on the ending dialogue, it was originally a much better version, but as it is RIGHT NOW I only have 10 characters of space left. They way it was originally I ran over by around 50-100 characters.

Sorry, But I tried.

I think I'm going to go back and revise the whole chapter later. There were several things that I wanted to do, but wasn't able to for time constraints and a relative lack of "creativeness" on my part. I had wanted to give the battle part from the Covenant's perspective, but couldn't think of names on the fly.

Anyway, If I do revise it, I'll warn you all so you can go back and re-read it.
