Zarra lay on her back for a moment. Her helmet was missing and her head was spinning but she wasn't hurt. There was a loud groan a few feet away, but this time it was the voice of an another Elite. "Aarrrg, my leg," the voice whimpered. Zarra got to her knees, slowly, and felt around for her helmet in the dark. The power was out in the hall they had fallen into, and the only light was from the hole in the ceiling and a few sparking wires. She found her helmet and made sure it was sealed properly this time, when she put it on. It was hard to tell when part of the hull might collapse or the life support systems might fail. Zarra caught the end of a transmission from the humans as she put her helmet on. "Say again?" she coughed over the radio, turning on her flashlight and looking around to get an idea of the situation. There were three Elites with her. Two appeared to just be dazed, but one was clutching his leg and whimpering quietly.

"I said get to the hanger and we can get you out of here" said Otto to the elite who sounded quite different then most if not all of the elite voices he had heard. It had a slight feminine touch to it. He shook his head to clear his voice. He then remembered he sent out another transmission to the elites. "I also said do you require assistence" asked the Spartan.

Anau sat forward and activated his night vision. His attention was immediatly to Zarra, she seemed to be ok. Another Elite had gotten to his feet but another lay on the floor grasping his leg.
Meanwhile, the Sangheili Super Station emerged from behind the planets moon and approached the Human wreckage. Tug ships followed to retrieve the Human ships and bring them to dock with the station.
Anau grabbed onto some hanging wires and used them to pull himself to his feet.

Zarra looked at the injured Elite for a moment, thinking, then replied, "Negative. We've had a slight mishap, but we will be on our way to the hangar soon." She went to the injured Elite as soon as the message was sent and looked at his leg. It was twisted at an unnatural angle and she could tell he was in alot of pain despite how the helmet hid his face. "It's broken," Zarra sighed, giving him a gentle sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "We will have to find another way up, we won't be able to climb back the way we came with him, and I can't ask the humans for help unless we have no other choice. We are here to help them, not to be a burden to them." She looked up to the rest of the Elites, who peered down at them through the hole. "Continue toward the hangar," she ordered, "but use caution. We will catch up with you." Zarra turned to the other two Elites, "We must keep moving. One of you will have to help him walk, I know I'm not strong enough. I will go first to make sure the way ahead is safe."

Anau turned to the other Elite; he shrugged. Anau stepped over the the Elite and wrapped his arm around his shoulders and lifted him up. He turned around and gave Zarra a nod.

"The Elites say they don't need help" said Otto. "your not gonna listen to them anyways...good move you shouldn't always listen to orders like I did" said Rommel. "you got it" said Otto. He ran down the hall towards the helpful beacon the AI had placed for him. He put his pistols away no need to start a fight.
After a while he saw the elites. "need any help now that I am here" asked Otto in English but he had a german accent. There was also no need to confuse them by speaking in German.

The Minors looked at each other, unsure who should take charge with their leader absent. Finally one stepped forward and adressed the human, "Thank you," said the Elite, "I apologise, but our Major was forced to take a different route to the hangar, and we aren't actually sure what's happening."
* * *
Zarra continued down the dark halls of the lower level for some time, with the small group following close behind. This floor was even more damaged than the one above and many of the halls were either blocked with debris or proved to be to unstable or hazardous to travel down. She checked the map of the ship again, trying to keep from getting turned around in the dark smoky maze, and realized they had moved closer to the hangar than she had realized. She hurried down the next hall and was met by a heavy, sealed door, it's damaged control panel sparked mockingly. Frustrated Zarra growled at the door and punched it, then leaned against one of the walls with a sigh.

Anau set down the Elite and looked at the door, this would be a problem. He would raise his finger to make a suggestion, but would quickly lower it when he realised it was a terrible idea or because he would have to speak. The ship suddenly shook when the clamps of the Tug ship grasped onto the cruisers hull and began hauling it towards the Sangheili Super Station. 'Good,' Anau thought, 'Only a matter of time now.' He then leaned against the wall beside the Elite and crossed his arms.

Zarra shook her head. "We didn't come here to just become more people to rescued," she growled, "I will get us out of..." There was a loud shriek grinding metal and a thundering boom back the way they had come. Alarms in her helmet sounded, notifying her of a rapid drop in pressure and oxygen levels, as the glow from the raging fires nearby faded away. "There's a break in the hull, keep an eye on how much oxygen you have left," said Zarra, starting back down the hall to search for another way out.

"well come with me and I will try to explain as much as I can on the way I am afraid we can not stay and chat for long...as I am afraid we could all die if the hull surrounding the engine and crashes into it then we all will be dead" said Otto. Otto then proceeded to tell the elites of what happened and how we barely managed to get the survivors to jump here. "I know I am such a coward...I should of overloaded our slipspace drive to take out or hopefully even damaged The Rifter fleet but I just couldn't.....I didn't even set off our nuclear arsenal" said Otto as he slammed his fist into the wall and a groaning sound was heard. "run" yelled Otto.

The Minors did not question, but followed the human. Moving as fast as they could run away from the terrible sound. * * * Zarra clung to a doorframe to keep her balance as the ship shuddered. More noises echoed through the halls. Another alarm warned her that her main oxygen tank was running low. Just one more thing to worry about, the reserve tank would only last half as long as the main one. ((OoC: Just to make things a little more hectic, I'm going to say the main tank has an air supply that will last about 20 minutes, (about 1 minute left now,) and the reserve tank has about 10 minutes of air. Anyone have any problems with that?))

Anau took Zarra's advice and kept an eye on his oxygen levels; he had a good ten minutes left in the main tank, plus the full reserve one. As the ship drew closer to the Super Station, the tug ship began angling the Human ship to fit into one of the stations hangers. This meant the human ship suddenly went from horizontal to vertical. Anau clung onto the same wires he had used before as the hall suddenly turned upside down. Good thing there was no gravity.

Zarra let go of the door frame and floated for a moment. "Well that solves one problem," she murmured, watching the injured Elite kick off from one of the walls with his good leg and traveled, laughing, down the hall past them. She let the younger warrior goof off for a few moments before continuing on. "Come on, we'll run out of time if we aren't careful." She pulled herself up through one of the holes in the ceiling and continued on toward the hangar.

Echo stumbled as the ship was rocked by yet another explosion. Announcements over the PA told him that there were "Rifters" in the area. However, Echo wasn't exactly sure what one was, or what they would look like. He glanced down and looked at the modified M6D swinging from his hip. He clutched it in his hand for reassurance as well as protection from possible boarding parties. He rounded a corner, just as a panel of the wall was blown outward. He felt increasingly dizzy, almost as if he was falling. He glanced back and thought he saw the shadow of a figure move across the wall, then slipped into unconciousness.
(OoC: The shadow can be an Elite or another Human or something. Just have someone find Echo and wake him up)

((OoC: I could have Zarra rescue your character, 777, but I want to give Specs a chance to rescue him insted, if he wants to; he's sort of on his own with a bunch of NPCs. ))
