In October, 2552, UNSC SPARTAN-II, Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, mysteriously appeared on the Covenant's holy city, High Charity, in an attempt to stop the High Prophet of Truth from activating the remaining Halo rings. Early on in his raid, he came across two detention rooms of Marines that aided him in his search. Unfortunatly, there were actually three. The third detetion room contained a fireteam that was enroute to In Amber Clad after the Battle of the Quarantine Zone. To much of the Fire Teams suprise, In Amber Clad flead the area, and the team's Pelican was left stranded. A covenant cruiser patrolling the area found them and abducted the Pelican and them, taking them to High Charity.
Which brings us to the beginning of the story. Cortana knew that she'd "forgot" about the remaining troops that John could have saved. It would have slowed John down, thus not making it to the Forerunner dreadnought in time for the takeoff. With no guards in the fireteam's room, she released them to let them fend for themselves.

"Oh my God, shut up, both of you!" Charlie yelled from her cell. "No, I'm not gonna," Lachlan replied from his. "You listen here mate, this isn't my fault!" "How is this not your fault? You're the damn pilot! Did you not see that Cruiser?" an ODST with a Mexican accent replied. "I'm sorry if I was too busy trying to save your asses from that Flood infested hell hole!" Lachlan snapped back. "Yeah, we're all grateful, thanks. And thanks for getting us caught by the f**king Covenant too, no really, thanks a bunch," the Mexican man continued. "When I get out of this cell I'm punch you so f**king hard, mate," Lachlan threatened. "When you get out? Do you honestly see us getting out of this?" the Mexican ODST chuckled. "Enough!" Charlie yelled. "Christ." "Listen you Mexican bastard, I could have just as easily left you there to be mauled to death by the Flood, but I didn't, I risked my life to save all yours. And yes, I did see that Cruiser, but I made the decision to try drift past unnoticed. That clearly didn't work out too well, but it did work out for the best. If I had attempted to evade it, they would have picked me up on their sensors and would have shots us all to hell. If all we get is a Plasma shot to the back of the head, it's a shit load better than being eaten alive or burning to death while falling from 30,000 feet," The ODST didn't reply and Lachlan drifted into the back of his cell. "Finally," Charlie sighed with relief. She stood up from the floor and placed her hands on the bars of her cell. "We'll figure this out, wont we sir?" she asked, looking at Mitch in the opposite cell to hers.

Klaus cursed as he heard the sound of the two fighting at who's fault it was they were in this hell hole. "thank you Lord for shuting those two up but could you get his the heck out of here" muttered Klaus to himself in prayer. "would you stop there is no god out there" said another Odst. " I'll believe in whatever I feel like got it now this fighting is pointless right now if you want we can pick this up after we get the hell out of here" said Klaus to the Odst. "so anyone got a plan to spring us out this joint it's great in all but I don't want to die here and from the sounds from outside there is some sort of war out there and I want in (ooc Covie Civil War ) asked Klaus as he began thinking if his own plan.

Mira sat quietly trying to ignore the others. She hadn't spoken a word since she had been placed in the cell, the time would be better spent thinking than talking, but when someone mentioned a plan she decided to say something. "Whoever put those weapon containers in here should be fired," she pointed out, "It's not a good idea to leave weapons just laying around in a prison, but as long as these bars are still here they might as well be in another room." She looked around, "Those guards will have to come back and open our cells sometime. As soon as they do, we should just give them as much trouble as we can, try to get to the weapons. Maybe we can get out of here," she said quietly, "If we can't... well, they're going to kill us anyway. At least we tried." (OoC: This might be interesting enough for me to keep up, but don't wait for me if I don't post for a while. Mira's pretty quiet, she can just follow along with the rest and not do anything worth mentioning if I can't think of anything later. )

Mitch, who was sitting back on the wall of his cell, staring into his helmet looked at Charlie, shook his head and sighed. "I don't know." he replied. He got up and stood at the front of his cell. "Fig, shut the f**k up. Mira, your point is duely noted. Klaus, Wash shut up. Lachlan, do the same and simmer down. You got us out of there. That's what matters." Mitch took a picture of his girlfriend, Katie, out of one of his suits pockets. "I'll be home soon, babe." After he finished his sentence, the cell bars he was leaning on drifted up and opened, causing him to fall on his face. "What the hell?" he said as he got up. He grabbed his helmet and put Katie's picture away. "Whatever the hell just happened, let's be thankful-" he paused as soon as he put on his helmet to see a simple word across his HUD: "GOODLUCK." Mitch noticed to serial number: CTN 0452-9. he shook the thought and grabbed a red Plasma Rifle. "You heard the lady, let's go."

Klaus grabbed a carbine and some extra ammo for it. " Ready to go...should I stick my head out to see if it's clear?"

"You little ripper!" Lachlan cheered, climbing out of his cell. He walked over to the same canister and took a Red Plasma Rifle. "Never seen a red of these," Charlie stepped out of her cell and approached a different canister. She took out a Carbine and walked over to Mitch. "I guess it's our lucky day."

Mira picked up another plasma rifle and some grenades, then went toward the door. She paused looking around at the others. "Well," she said after a few moments, "I'm not hanging around here any longer. This is probably stupid, but if no one else will check the door..." She took a couple steps forward, tossing a grenade through the door as it opened, then stepped back so the door closed again, muffling a Grunt's startled yelp and the explosion that followed. She hurried over to the door and glanced out, counting on the grenade to at least disorient the enemies on the other side enough to have the upper hand. She found the walkway outside mostly empty except for the bodies of a handful of Grunts, Brutes, and Jackals. Most of the bodies were too far away to have been killed by the blast. "Looks like someone's saved us some trouble," she said looking back at the others.

"Yea. Him." Mitch said, assuming the others knew. "You're right, Mira, we shouldn't really waste any time here. Let's just get to that main grav lift over there. It's safe to assume it's our only way outta this place," Mitch raised his weapon and began to move out. "Hey, holmes! Check this out!" Fig yelled. He stood next to four grav lifts that were in the centre of the team's level. As Fig jumped in, so did Mitch and David(Wash) and they immeadietly took up post waiting for the others. "All clear you three!" Mitch said.
Pyrus Irom' watched as three humans come up from the lower levels via the grav lifts in the centre of the level. They would see him, thankfully. His active camo was somewhat, better, than the other Sangheili's. He don the armour of a light of Sangheilios. Except, he didn't recieve it technically. Pyrus had killed the guard trying to keep him from the Prophet of Truth. When the Helios Sangheili didn't comply, he was stabbed by Pyrus with an Energy Sword. Unfortunatly, this wasen't the first of his own that he killed. Pyrus was, in fact, a Heretic. During the fight in the Gas Mine, he was wounded and brought in for questioning.
But as he watched these humans, he growled quietly to himself and stayed in the shadows, watching them to figure out what their plan was. He gripped his energy stave, which was also cloaked, and made sure his Carbine andd Sword were at the ready.

"There's something going on here, Chaz," Lachlan said to Charlie, looking up at the Grav lift. "Yeah, I think the C.O hit his head pretty hard when the Cruiser got us," she chuckled. "And don't call me that," "Seriously," Lachlan said, looking down, back to Charlie. "Who took out those guards?" "Who openned our cells?" Charlie asked with a smirk. "What's the matter? Don't believe in miracles?" she smirked, stepping into the lift. "It'll be miracle if you're not slaughtered by Elites when you get up there!" Lachlan called as she ascended. Charlie replied by giving him the finger as she rose out of view. "Up we go," he said to Mira, stepping in after Charlie.

"We don't have all day! Or night. Come on!" Mitch said as he moved foreward, completely oblivious to the cloaked foe behind them. Fig followed and nudged Lachlan to follow. "Ok, here's the plan. Lachlan, Charlie, you two are with me. Fig, Wash, you two. Mira, Klaus, together," He pointed to the central grav lift just above. "We're going up."
Pyrus began to growl. He was getting impatient. Blood thirsty at that. But he kept his cool and waited.

(OoC: I think this thread is still a little before the 'Great Schism' but only by a few minutes. Careful not to have your Elite in two places at once.)
Mira stepped into the grav-lift, reminding herself to not look down.

(ooc It could still work just have him menace us for a bit then have him leave and are we running into our elites here because that sounds like a cool idea)
Klaus went up the grav-lift feeling nervous at the fact that the guards outside had died by plasma and needlers. He let it pass as an act of God and fiddled with his carbine.
