Matt looked down at what was obvious a man below him, as he stared back with wide, defiant eyes, the irises a strange hue of crimson. This, obviously, was natural for his species, but not for humans. Matt looked down onto him. "Why'd you attack us?" He asked, calmly, although his voice held the resolve of steel. "We said we weren't interested in a fight. Why'd you attack us?" The man still didn't reply, although fear showed in his eyes as Matt held a spiker to his chest. "I don't want to hurt you, my friend." Matt said, calmly, although he realised that this man was possibly hindering their chance of getting to the Orbital Drop Shock Trooper while he was still alive. "Why'd you attack us and what did you hope to gain? In addition, where's our trooper?"

Russell stared at the hostage situation. He opened a FREQ channel to Matt and asked, "Well, if we can't get any information out of him, are we going to kill him or are we going to keep him hostage until we can get off Emerald Cove and then take him to the UNSC?"

The ship impacted the surface and made a rather large and loud explosion. Katar and Inwa were knocked unconsious. The lights of the ship flickered on and off in as the back up power kicked in but the lights were dim. The vechiles and ships aboard were fine but the crew had been killed in near the front of the ship,wounded,knocked out or alive. A beacon appeared on the HUD of the all the Elites onboard showing the Ultras location who was with the other members who ejected from the pods. The two were covered in loose objects cave in..temporaily untill they could get up at least. Unforunatly several members of the bridge were in shock.

Zarra woke, but didn't open her eyes. Her helmet was gone, knocked off when she had been struck. Her head ached, and she could feel a trickle of blood running down her face from a small gash that her now mangled helmet had made when it was torn off. She opened her eyes. The lights flickered on, then off for a few moments, then on again in an irregular pattern, making her more disorented. She could hear the crackling of exposed wires and a small fire they had sparked nearby. Zarra forced herself to sit up, then slumped against an overturned container. She reached up weakly to examine her wound. It wasn't bad, but it was still worse than she had thought. She rested her head on the container and closed her eyes again. She wasn't ready to try to do anything else.

"Are you alright?" Anau asked, not knowing whether or not anyone was still around him. He collapsed out of the door way and dragged himself into the hall. "I am unharmed," he said, then laughing quietly to himself. "Good," replied a minor, walking past. "Are you alright?" Anau asked him, watching him walk down the hall. "I hit my head. On your feet and help me find a way out of this," he replied, removing debris from a door. Anau nodded and pulled himself off the ground.

After feeling a slight tremor and hearing what was most likely an explosion, Charlie tunned away from the abomination and looked to the sky. "That was a crash. Was that our cruiser?"

"Are you reading this?" Lachlan asked Kelly. "Yes, It's a typical Sangheilian distress call," she replied. "Exactly," Lachlan said, followed by silence. "What are the Elites doing here?" Kelly then asked. "There it is," Lachlan sighed. "I swear you're getting slower,"

Zarra heard voices and sat up. She looked around trying to find where the sound had come from and followed it to one of the doors then tried to pull some of the debris away from it. The small section of hallway she was in was nearly sealed off with wreckage, and she was alone. She started to worry, she could be trapped for a long time if she couldn't get out. "Help!" She called, afraid the owners of the voices would leave, "Help!"

Anau caught up with the minor who had his head against the door. "There is someone trapped on the other side," he said. "Then let us free them," Anau said, joining the minor in removing the debris.
After a few minutes, the debris was cleared on Anau and the minor side. They then began attempting to open the door.

Zarra had cleared away most of the debris near the door when it was forced open a couple of inches by the Elites on the other side. She took hold of the door and tried to help. Finaly it had opened enough for her to slip through, and she crawled out. "Thank you," she said, leaning against the door frame, exhasted.

Katar rose from the floor and coughed. His ears were ringing and his head pounding. He rose up Inwa was still knocked out so he picked her up and his sword. "come on we must leave..get to this location" said Katar. The surviving crew got up. "stay back" said Katar as he threw a plasma gernade on the door and blew it open. (Ooc yes they are powerful enough to do it as thye opened doors in Cole Protocal). Katar paused and pressed a botton to open the hanger doors and all other doors on the ship but as he did it the lights faded completely. He turned on his flash light and walked down the hallway carrying Inwa over his shoulders. "get all the wounded you can and leave them in the medbay and get the medical staff to treat them" said Katar. "yes of course sir" said the bridge crew. "also once all are off board then only supply life support to the medbay and on a path from the medbay to the hanger so you will have the power you need.

"I'll aid this one, you go find an exit," Anau ordered the minor. He nodded and began wandering down a hall. After the minor has disappeared, Anau turned to Zarra. "Thank the gods you are alright," he sighed happily, putting his hands on her face and smiling. "That isn't bad," he said, noticing the gash. Anau held her for a little longer and then hugged her suddenly. After holding her tightly, he let go and followed where the minor had gone. "Let's find a way out, we'll climb down the hull if we have to,"

Zarra smiled, "I was worried about you too. I'm glad you're alright." Her voice sounded weak, and she was still shaken by the crash, but she felt a little stronger now, as she followed Anau and the minor down the hall.

Russell felt the tremor. "Hmmm... that was not our cruiser. The UNSC doesn't even know we're here yet and the cruiser is outside the orbital blockade of the planet. That means either the Elites or the Remnant crashed."
Jacobs then appeared, about as high as Charlie, and started speaking. "Hey, wait a minute, what would the Covenant be doing here? They already destroyed the planet."
Russell thought for a second. "Yeah. That could have been our cruiser. Alright, should we make a small detachment from our party here and go towards the cause of the sight? I think a seismometer was able to pick up the tremor and find the center, we just need to follow readings and we'll come upon the crash site."

((OOC: Specs, I'll ignore your post because of the fact that we wouldn't split a group of under fifteen troopers in enemy territory for something the main group could do.))
The captive wasn't responding as he was intended to. No information had yet reached Matt's ears and, due to the fact that every second could be causing the Orbital Drop Shock Trooper pain or even a second running out of his life, Matt was growing impatient. Placing the Spiker to the alien's head, he leant in close and grunted: "Last chance." A flicker of fear was evident in the alien's face, yet nothing more. Matt slowly began to press against the trigger. The alien's eyes flickered, an inner battle, before settling, steely cold in resolve to tell Matt and the United Nations Space Command nothing. Matt shrugged apologetically. It was the alien's own fault. "Your choice. No skin of mine." As Matt pressed the trigger, there was a sharp click.
In truth, Matt knew the Spiker was out of ammunition. A scare tactic, he knew, and one he didn't think the captive would call. As Matt pressed the trigger, the captive closed his eyes tightly, fully expecting superheated spikes to enter his head at any second. Yet all that happened was a loud click echoed out around the woods. Opening one eye, cautiously, the alien eyed the Spiker, relieved at still being able to see anything at all. "Damn." Matt pretended to be somewhat angry with the Spiker, before drawing a new clip from the holster and loading the Spiker, making sure the alien saw perfectly well what he was doing, taking a moment to somewhat theatrically do it.
With this done, Matt took a moment to look at it in the dim light of the wood. "Painful, it looks." He commented, with the right balance between apology and sadistic delight to make it sound as if he really were about to shoot the captive. Slowly lowering the blaster to it's original position, he slowly began pressing the trigger again, willing the alien to not have called his bluff and to give in any second now. The alien, it seemed, would keep the same resolve. Until something cracked. "No!" The voice was almost human, yet with something alien about it that Matt couldn't quite put his finger on. The alien's eyes opened sharply, and Matt jerked the blaster away. "Don't shoot. I'll assist you."

(Ooc Coco don't you mean Spartana cause I never said anything about spilting the group up..I may of suggested it with the beacon but never said it so it is my fault that he did but I thought the Elites would need to know where to find each other and to not be scattered all over) Katar walked down the hall into the hanger and moved through the debries of some destroyed Phantoms that had smacked into each other. The remains of tree stood outside the hanger some were on fire but the all of them were practically destroyed from the impact and some of them fell out onto the ship and later into the hanger when the door opened. He examined the vechiles lucky most of them were not to badly damaged from being thrown around the hanger..at least the ones who fell from their restraints. (Ooc There are plenty of vechiles to go around and even Phantoms so we can get to the meeting place there are also Banshees..though I guess a majority of the crew abandoned ship lets just say )

(OoC: Yes, that was me. Pay attention next time that happens, dude. *gives Coco glasses*)
Russell thought and then decided to shut up about the idea. He thoguht there would be a small group out after this was done.
When he heard the voice, Russell stepped in. "Alright then. Who are you and what did you do with the trooper?"
