Chapter 1: Suit Up
He slowly walked out of training field. He was met by a man in a white suite. He had no facial expression or sign of emotion. He had a clean shaven face, white eyes to go with his skin. He had a shaven head covered by a cap.
"My name is Admiral Rammen, You need to come with me."
He nodded in agreement; he didn't want to mess with this guy, at least not yet. They hitched a ride on a facility cart. They drove for at least 10 minutes. He sworn they were going in circles. He wondered if they were trying to confuse him, and if they were it worked. They sudden made a sharp left, and started to go straight at a wall.
"Are you crazy? Were heading straight for a wall, turn around!" He yelled
Admiral Rammen didn't even move his eyes he kept on driving. He looked away and braced for impact. But nothing happened. He looked to see what had happened. They were now in a section of the building he had never seen before. It was nothing more than hallways and doors.
"You could have told me that was a fake wall." He said.
The Admiral said nothing, but he did let out a small smirk. The cart came to a stop. Rammen got out and signaled for him to follow. He followed him; they took turn after turn after turn.
"Great, more circles" He thought.
He was brought to a small room, and met by two other men.
"Take a seat soldier; we have some news for you."
He took a seat and waited. He scanned the room looking for any sign of where
he could be. There was nothing, just a small table and an empty bookcase.
"We have reason to believe the covenant is planning attack on one of our bases on another planet."
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"We want you and your squad to keep guard on it."
"You want a single squad to protect a base against a covenant army"
"There will be other marines at the base to help, and we will be supplying you with a new prototype armor."
"Armor?"
"Yes, our researchers have been working on a new armor for ODSTs. It is more damage resistant, equipped with night vision, a prototype mirror shield, a-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa a mirror shield?"
"Ah yes, it's a new invention. The armor will take all damage fired at you turn it into a new energy and fire it back at half the damage."
"And where does this shot come from?"
"The energy is stored in an energy pack, located on your back. There is a tube
that connects that to a small gun on your wrist."
"Sounds a little farfetched."
"That's why it's only a prototype. The problem is even if you have enough energy you can only fire it once every hour and it won't always work.
"And there's the catch, anyway we will delighted to protect your little playhouse."
"Good you leave in an hour."
