Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Scarabs walk the halls of the ship. One pair of these mighty soldiers rounds a corner and sees enemy contacts. They open fire with their chainguns and launch missiles into the Swarm. Zar search parties are sent through the maintenence tunnels to make sure no Swarm are hiding. Vulcans are sent to the bridge.

"Copy that, pat. I've sent 20 of my dropships over to that launch bay in the swarm cruiser you are on to cover your dropships in case the swarm send in any fighters into the docking bay. That would be about 80 marines. Those forces should be there any second now. Also, is the ship you are apparently trying to destroy the flagship or something? Me and my remaining forces will begin taking out the smaller escort cruisers and fighters, since they wouldn't stand a chance against the bigger ones. That is until my flagship gets here," Halo responds.

Vulcans begin firing their Laser Rifles into the oncoming Swarm. More friendly boarding craft land and are ready to take aboard allies.

"Immersion is playing Half-Life and not noticing your house is burning down."- Paul Barnett

The most awesome thing ever!

lieut_pat's dropship lands on the surface of the swarm infested planet. He and his squad move towards the swarm hive, leaving nothing but the bodies of ex-swarm members behind them. They reach an outer wall of the hive, and plant their explosives on the wall. They stand back as the wall explodes, sending bits of swarm warriors everywhere.

They move in quickly and engage the surprised warriors inside. 2 Spears fall, 5 others are wounded. Pat is also wounded, a slash from a swarm claw to his arm. No time for that now. They move in, encountering little resistence, until they come across a door. Its locked, so they blow it in. After the smoke clears, they catiously enter the room. In the room they find 5 humans, all POW's. A man in a tattered camo suit approaches Pat, limping.

"Thank God, you're here. I thought we were done for. Who are you?"
"No time for that now soldier, got to get you out of here first."
"Fine. My men are all badly wounded, those...things are merciless in battle. You may have to carry some of them."
"Ok, let's just get out of here."

lieut_pat, his squad and the rescued POWs head back to the dropship. It takes off. Seeing as he needs to get these men to a hospital quick, he sends a message out to any nearby ships.

"All allied ships, this is lieut_pat. I need a quick place to land, there are wounded in my squad. Respond."

What exactly are you(Shade, CANNON, Elite) doing in that swarm ship? Is it the main swarm flagship ort something, and you are trying to plant a bomb on it to destroy it or is there something important in it?

Anyway, "Shade, Cannon, Blue Elite, I've mopped up most of the small escort swarm cruisers and now 10 of my dropships and I are securing the docking bay you came into the ship through. Everything looks quiet." Halo says through the comm channel. A few seconds later, dozens of small swarm fighters appear outside the docking bay, approaching fast. The dropships and soldiers open fire and the entire bay is lit up. A few swarm fighters swoop in and start attacking the dropships using strange plasma-like beams. One dropship explodes from several vital hits and smashes into the docking bay wall.

"This is Halo, my flagship is on a path to intercept the swarm fleet. The path goes by pretty close to the swarm planet you launched off of. You should be able to get medical supplies and ammo there," Halo responds.
