Meanwhile at a Spartan 3 ODST Basic Training Facility.
Spartan Recruiter Trainer:Come on! Get moving and watch you rear!
Spartan 223: Where is it?
Spartan 224: There it is! I got 'em.
Spartan 224 fires and gets a head shot on a training dummy.
Spartan Recruit Trainer:Congratulations Spartan 223 and 224 you have acheived the rank of Private. Now you will be shipped off to the ODST Vallhalla Training Center. There you will learn to jump off of flying vehicles successfully. Good Luck.
Spartan 223 and 224: Thank you, Sir.
At the Vallhalla Training Center...
Brigadier ODST: Alright, in these three days you will learn to jump off a Hornet successfully. That is all we will learn due to limited time and we will start now.
A Hornet is dropped off by a Pilot Spartan directly behind the Brigadier.
ODST: First lesson, make sure the pilot gives you the green light! If they don't then the altitude isn't safe or the ground is swarming with enemies. Second, both of you should jump at the same time so you hit the ground at the same time and are double a threat. Do i make myself clear?!
Spartan 223 and 224: Sir, yes sir!
In the next three days the two Spartans train to be the best of the best. They have memorized every procedure by heart.
ODST: I sure am proud of you two, and am glad to give you your new ranking of Corporal and your are now official Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
The two Spartan ODSTs are transferred to Standoff communications center for their first mission.
Spartan Major: I am sure you both know of th
e last resort Spartan run base near New Mombassa. That base was the city's only defense against the Covenant.
223 and 224: Yes sir.
Major: Well it has been overrun by Rogue Elites who still beleive in the Great Journey. They are currently armed with a Ghost, a Prowler, and a Wraith. All vehicles are stolen and are suspected to be damaged.
223: How did we lose a base filled with hundreds of Spartans to only a few Elites?
Major: Well they saw it coming, but they simply couldn't take it. After losing hundreds of Spartans, they evacuated. One did stay though, he acted as a Spartan should, Spartan 211, the main scout of the base. He is still alive because he has been transmitting the Oly Oly Oxen Free since the loss of the base. His service number is 211 he signed up not too long ago. Anyways, about the mission. You will be dropped into the sea and have to swim about a mile until you get to the beachfront. Since it will be a close drop there is no need for a HEV or parachute. We simply modified your suits a little. You will have an extra layer of shielding to cushion your fall although it will only recharge to normal shields. You will also have full active cammo ready to go but will overheat the suit causing complete malfunction after an hour of use. Your arsenal will be small but powerful. Primary weapon: Sub Machine Gun. Secondary: a fuel rod launcher for vehicles and a specialized weapon made to emit a small EMP burst on it's target causing electronics to malfunction. We will provide you with full blue prints of the base to study before your mission tomorrow. Good Luck.
