After taking some supplies from the QC corpses, Atlas stood back up and turned Mitch. "Well, sir, what do we do now?" "He said something about re-activating the cities AI," Mandy replied, then receiving a look from Atlas. "Alright, why are we doing that?" Atlas asked, glancing over at Carrie for a moment who stood watch at the entrance to the hospitals parking lot.

Mitch depolarized his visor and took off his helmet. "Well," he said, sitting down on a crate, "You guys are about to find out about something top secret. I think." he sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Let me ask you this- What do you guys think happened in New Mombasa after the slipspace event? Weel, what happened that night? About... six or seven hours after the slipspace rupture?"

"Shit happened," Carrie replied over the comm, staying at the entrance of the Hospital car park. Atlas smirked, he loved his sister when she was pissed off. "One of our offices were destroyed in the rupture," Mandy shrugged, "What happened after that... I don't know," she said, looking at the ground. She was lying. Atlas also shrugged, "I dunno, I guess the Covie's took what was left of the city,"

Mitch laughed at Carrie's comment and looked at Mandy when she said hers. "Well, right. The Covenant did take the city. The only marine company left in the city was the 405th out of Diego Garcia... and a squad of ODSTs." he looked up at the sky as if waiting for a squad of ODSTs to land.
"That squad was part of another company that was supposed to land on the Carrier that was over the city. But their Captain changed their course before they knew what was going on. Then the Carrier left the city and screwed everything up and they were split up. Eventually they regrouped and tried to find their CO. When they did find her, she was with the squad's FNG and what ONI calls an Engineer. Thing is, that Engineer, had New Mombasa's Superintendant AI, Vergil." he looked at Mandy. "If I'm right, Dante's in trouble. If they get him before we do, they'll learn everything. Force deployment, weapons research, everything. Because you idiots at Lacewing decided it'd be a good idea to use a prototype "smart" Superintendant AI and merge it with ONI's database. Not only did that backfire when we lost communication with HIGHCOM, but you screwed this city! Hell, this planet! The next Reach!" he shook his head and stuffed an extra med kit and ammo for his Assault Rifle and supressed SMG in his Rucksack. "You're still comming with us lady." he said, poking her in the shoulder, "We're gonna need you when we get to the ONI building." he put his helmet back on, put on his rucksack put his SMG in and shouldered his Assault Rifle. "Even if you aren't ONI, you're still that kind of spook." he grinned and walked to the entrance of the hospital. "C'mon. I saw a Troop Warthog outside when we were on the roof. Stock up and join me outside."

"There are protocols!" Mandy yelled. "But first of all, I don't know anything about this AI," She was lying again, "Second, if there was an AI, we would have shut it down to cover our own asses!" She was beginning to not see the point with arguing. "But, fine, whatever, lets go on this wild goose chase," She threw her arms up in the air and followed the trooper, Atlas was quick to follow.

Mitch jumped in the driver seat an M831 TT Warthog and started it. "Everybody in! The quicker we get to the ONI building the better." he waited for the three to enter the vehicle so they could get moving.
((OoC: Lachlan, lock this thread after you post. Then I can start the next part.))

Carrie was second in the hog, she wasnt in the mood to chat, so she climbed in the back to cover the rear. Atlas was third in, riding shotgun, followed by Mandy who also sat in back. "Good to roll," Atlas said.
