About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.
But really am sweet at heart. =)
January 25 2526 1000 Local Time
Emerald Cove, City Streets.
David sat in the front seat of an undercover UNSC MP cruiser. The car was black and had one way tinted windows. He could clearly see out but no outsiders could see in. To his left, sat Corporal William Taylor. Caucasian, short cropped blond hair, around 26 years old. In the back sat Lieutenant James Davan, his dark skin nearly blended in with the dark material. All three men were wearing civilian clothes, jeans, and T shirts, they had tactical vests, gloves, and steel toed combat boots and they were all wearing wrap around shooters glasses that projected a HUD on to their retina.
They were following their squad's other vehicle, a white van, with the rest of the action squad on board. It was to be a simple snatch and grab, their target, called "Crimson Jacob" was the mastermind behind the National Holiday massacre.
They were to go in fast, snatch him, then escape to a Prowler in orbit before the local Innie cells could respond. That, along with a hastily planned mission brief was all David got before being put into cryo for the journey. All the strike team knew was his name, and his callsign: Tombstone.
That was the main form of comms between members, a single nickname was easier to remember than a full name. Talyor and Davan for example were Warlock and Chiron.
Suddenly the van stopped in front of a hotel and two operators stepped out. Out of the hotel came a man that was smaller than Jacob and his skin tone was lighter. The men noticed this and motioned for him to get on the ground, as he was doing so he pulled out an M6B and dropped both of them, then turned towards the cruiser.
Chiron and David dove for cover under the dashboard, but Warlock took too long and was hit in the neck and head, gore covered the driver's side, but David looked away has he jumped out of the car along with Davan in chase of the man.
Davan called over his com "This is strike team one! We are in pursuit of what appears to be Jacob's right hand man, three men down, cut him off if you can!"
Around the corner they heard more gunshots and the screeching tires of cars stopping. David caught a glimpse of the man ducking into an allyway and climbed up onto a 2 story walkway to flank him. Chiron and two other operators followed him down the alley. The suspect climbed over a 9 foot tall fence and out of view of the men below!
"Damnit! he's gonna get away."
"No he's not>" David calmly stated as he jumped through the thin wood wall and right on top of the suspect as he turned another corner.
Chiron climbed over the fence to the sight of David with an M6C at the suspect's temple.
"Good work Tombstone. HQ, we have what appears to be Crimson Jacob's right hand man, please advise."
Chiron became angered when there was no response over the com.
"I'm getting static on my end too boss." said Tempest.
Suddenly, the other man, Blackout looked up in shock. The others looked up at a huge shockwave blasted the prefabricated and wooden structures.
One Covenant cruiser was in close orbit, then another slipped in, then three, then five.
The Covenant were here.

Also, there is a pretty obvious easter egg with every man's call sign. Winnar get's a cookie.
