1600 Hours, December 18, 2525(Military Calendar)/ Main briefing room of the UNSC cruiser Connecticut


“The Covenant are not nearly as tough as their ships.” Mitchell was a hardened Marine, with years of experience and dozens of engagements. His uniform was coated in campaign ribbons and medals. He had an aura of confidence, which comforted the men in the room. “Some of them do have shields, but they can be beaten with tactics.”
A video played from a helmet recorder showing an avian looking alien with a glowing sheet of energy absorbing bullets by the dozens. The Marines leaned in for a closer look. Then the creature fired a handheld weapon and a blob of green-white energy flew across the video. A human off screen groaned, and at this sound, all three Spartan’s winced. Clearly the wounded man had been a Spartan. Simmons wondered which Spartan had taken the hit, and what kind of damage it had caused.
“The Covenant apparently use handheld plasma weaponry in ground engagements.” Mitchell said, pausing the recording. “This weaponry is very effective, so don’t assume your armor will take the hit for you. Take it from me, it won’t.”
Mitchell resumed the tape, and it showed three green soldiers in what Simmons recognized as the Mjolnir armor flanking and killing the alien. The helmet wearer charged forward and kicked the alien’s shield out of alignment and revealed that the Covenant were not invincible by shattering the creature’s skull with bullets.
“ONI’s recommendation is to be prepared for anything. They speculate this may not be the Covenant’s only type of soldier. Recommendation is to avoid contact unless you are overwhelmingly outnumbering your opponent. Snipers and grenades over the shields should prove highly effective on the open fields. The Lieutenant Colonel has tactical command of the ground operation, but he has asked me to deliver his brief for him, on the grounds that he is catching up on some sleep.”
After the Marines had had their chuckle, Mitchell began. “The main force will insert to the city airfield, where the civilians have massed for evacuation. Alpha Company will secure the airport perimeter for the duration of the operation. Bravo Company will remove the city library from operation. Use extreme prejudice against any electronics you encounter. We need to prevent the Covenant from getting any navigational information. Charlie Company will create a reaction force, to aid any forces that should come under fire. All companies will insert at 0600 and Charlie Company will be last to extract, hopefully at 1000. Remember, be prepared for anything. Good luck Marines.”
“Question,” Simmons said, raising his hand.
“Uh, yes Captain?” Apparently Mitchell hadn’t been expecting questions.
“What is the Spartan’s role in this operation?”
“That information is classified. Just focus on your own men Captain.” It seemed Simmons had touched a nerve. He should have known the Spartans were off limits for discussion. “Like I said, good luck Marines. Be prepared to disembark at 0500.” Mitchell dismissed the room with a wave, and everyone went to get what sleep they could manage.




0300 Hours, December 19, 2525(Military Calendar)/ Barracks four of the UNSC cruiser Connecticut

“Wake up Marines! It’s three in the morning! You slept in!” Dominique’s voice rang out and inspired the anticipated response. A deafening groan signaled that Simmons’ men were awake. In two hours, they would be en route to the planet’s surface. This was the first time in a while Simmons had to cope with the fact that he might actually not see some of them again. The odds of the Covenant appearing were slim, but the odds of defeating them with the limited Intel and support were even slimmer. The only thing that kept Simmons from questioning his orders was the fact that the Spartans were on hand if things got rough.
“Men, I want you to pack light. No need for the standard issue frying pan today. Our best defense is going to be dodging and weaving. The city is surrounded by open fields, so I want lots of snipers and heavy weapons. Remember we’re the reaction force. Be quick to react. If you see something unusual, report it. Get all the support you can. Then check it out. Be at your ready rooms in one hour. Platoon leads report. I mean five minutes ago people!” Simmons spoke, and the Marines of Charlie Company responded.
Puller reported for the 90th within seconds. Lt Han scolded a napping Marine on her way to report, and Lt Bailey showed up, albeit rubbing his eyes. “Everybody’s accounted for boss. Intel is changing by the minute, so we haven’t gotten a full brief yet. I don’t like it…” Puller was still nervous, but he had hardened thanks to CPO Mendez’s episode in the forest.
“You’re not the only one. It doesn’t make sense to have no Intel just two hours before the drop. There’s something they’re not telling us.” Bailey had tested in the high genius range in school, and was a phenom at the academy on Reach. The only reason he wasn’t currently designing things and being a genius somewhere important, is that his father was a Marine. He eventually told Simmons how he felt it was his duty to serve before he made loads of cash working for the shipyards. Simmons admired the kid’s devotion, and only two people Simmons had ever met could beat this kid in book smarts.
“The 91st is ready to go boss. I’ll have ‘em in the ready rooms in no time at all.” Lieutenant Jenny Han was the company’s resident beauty. She was also living proof that looks could kill. She was all-Division in hand-to-hand combat, and a crack shot. She also had references from ONI, a particular study conducted by a certain Doctor. Lt Han had a long file, two thirds of which were from before she enlisted and had been blacked out by Section Three. It didn’t take someone with Bailey’s IQ to realize she had been a Spartan I candidate. Not that anyone had bothered to tell her.
“Like I said boss,” Puller continued, “we’re as ready as we’re going to be, but not as ready as I’d like to be.”
Time to be a confident commander, Simmons thought to himself. “That’s ok. We’ve got a great group, and we’ll be all right. We’re going to liberate the UNSC base’s vehicle depot groundside and create a couple of roving squads. Puller, you and the 90th are on that. Do it as soon as your feet hit the ground.”
“Right boss.” Puller wouldn’t fail, of that Simmons was certain.
“The 92nd is with me and the 89th in the city’s library. That’s the control center for this op. Jenny; keep your men by the airport. Stay hidden. I don’t want to have those civilians jumped. Hey, where’s Omni?” Simmons had something in mind for the best sniper in the ODST program.
“Right behind you boss.” Omni was as stealthy as he was deadly.
“Crap Marine. You’re not supposed to scare your squad mates like that.” Omni’s sudden appearance had taken Puller by surprise.
Simmons had heard the man approach, but for the benefit of theatrics, he pretended. “Listen, get to this location.” Simmons showed Omni his personal data pad. In the city center was a residential tower that would never be completed. It was to be the highest building in the area, and as such the perfect place for the sniper to hide.
“I concur boss. Good place. I may need a spotter though…”
“Take a whole squad if you need ‘em. We’re not going to have any good satellite surveillance, so I need your input.” This lack of info and preparation was becoming the theme du jour.
“No boss, I don’t want a squad. I’ll just take McKay and James. That’ll be more than enough.” Omni was in his mission mode. He was no longer human, just a killing machine, and he would be that way until the mission was over.
“That’s fine, just make sure one of you takes an extra communication pack. You’re useless if you can’t talk to me. All right, get going all of you. Lets do this thing fast and right. I want to see all of you back here in six hours. Semper fi.” Simmons saluted his men and they responded.
“Semper fi!” And within sixty seconds, the Connecticut’s fourth barracks was empty.

Great story rainman. I have written my on fanfictions but never this far into detail. Just to clear up the Spartan-1 thing for everybody..

Spartans were named the spartan-lls because they wanted to uphold the integrity of the spartans of ancient sparta. The Spartan-11s were a group of severl hundred kids that were chosen by Dr. Halsey. Not all made the cut and were sent to do other jobs in the UNSC. after Augmentation round their mid teen years the spartans could lift roughly 900lbs in regular gravity and could sprint at a speed of 55kph. They also had been given fiberglass reinforced bones to support large weight and stress. The MJOLNIR project which is the project behind the Mark V and Vl amors had been going on roughly as long as the SPARTAN ll project. They had tested the armor with regular marines but the stress of the armors power litteraly crushed every tester that dawnded th armor. The armor would later be outfitted to fit the all readly super-soldier spartans because of there fiberglass skeleton whicbh could withstand the stress of the MJOLNIR armor. so the amor and spartans are two seperate projects that happened coincide. Or so according to the books that outline the halo story. although i do see your train of thought rainman and i highly admire the story that you have created here.

*disclaimer, I am not being mean*

Hey, guess, what. I have been writing this story for 10 months, I have, in that time, read the Halo books, about 8 times. So I want everyone to stop jumping to the last page, and trying to stop arguments that happened five months ago. I am going to edit my first post to try and clear this up.
And on the whole Spartan II thing. Bungie never Said there weren't Spartan Is, therefore a fanfiction about them existing is plausible. THe only mention of anything was the technician Sam in the flood talking about the orion project. But guess what, That could have been scuttlebutt. Maybe he had no idea about anything SPartan Related, other than there was one in front of him.

I'm tired of answering this so I'm not going to do it again.

There were many preliminary candidates, but only one hundred and fifty were ever really considered for the project(See page 27, Fall of Reach). Those who were not selected were left to live their lives how they chose. Many of them likely chose jobs with the UNSC, since they were screened for that mental disposition. The kidnapping and assignment of several hundred Spartan II candidates would raise some eyebrows.

They also had been given fiberglass reinforced bones to support large weight and stress.


The Spartans were subjected to Carbide ceramic ossification, which, as far as I can tell, has absolutely nothing to do with fiberglass (See page 57, Fall of Reach). The only carbide ceramics I can find use Tungsten and are used as coating for other materials, like human bones. Well, not yet anyway.

They had tested the armor with regular marines but the stress of the armors power litteraly crushed every tester that dawnded th armor. The armor would later be outfitted to fit the all readly super-soldier spartans because of there fiberglass skeleton whicbh could withstand the stress of the MJOLNIR armor.


I believe I thoroughly covered that on page 18 of this thread.

Not true. Halsey lead both the MJOLNIR project and the Spartan II program so they would blend perfectly. Her objective was to create the perfect pinpoint strike force and the armor to help them get the job done. For proof of Halsey's involvement and intent see pages 58, 99, 114-119, and 246-265 of Fall of Reach.

A final warning and/or challenge: If you're going to refute any of my claims bring your big guns. If you prove me wrong, more likely then not, I'll change it. But "my cousin's barber's sister's four year old son" is not a valid source for your information.

well i meant to give you valid information from the book but since you decided to get your panny's in a knot. IF you were to read the list of medicines and steroids the spartans were given during augmentation the you would realize what was put in their bones nor did tungsten every come up in the augmentation. As for the mjolnir. Just because the MJOLNIR and Spartan projects were both lead by DR. Halsey that doesnt mean that they were intertwined be4 the spartans came along. if you will read you will notice that they were testing the MJOLNIR on standard marines long be4 the spartans augmentation. SHe shows JOHN 117 the videio of a marine being crushed by the armor and she states that the video was old and that the project was on hold. So i don/t know why you attack the one person in your forum that tries to clear things up for you but whatever reason you have how about using the real information in stead of making so many assumptions. i have read all the books just like many others and i was just tyring to give you some help with the People that dont know the spartan background.

Not so, on pg.57 of FoR it describes the augmentation as Carbide Ceramic. Which would benothing like fiberglass at all. It describes it as an "advanced" matierial, not how one would describe a basic matierial like fiberglass. Which would more then likely kill you if you were grafted with it, as it is made of glass fiber, where as Carbide Ceramic would be a natural chemical.

Again, not true. the alleged conversation takes place on pg.115 no where does halsey say the time or date when the video was taken, it could have been mere hours ago. Also, the suit did not crush him, he killed himself. After breaking his arm while raising it, he went into spasms that killed him becuase they were magnified by the suit.

there is much more in store for this story. I won't reveal anything big, but i will tell you that it will still follow the basic storyline of FoR, wiht some deviations, and will probably end around where it ended.
