Alex responded to Mitch, "Just the pilots, me, and three marines." He paused, narrowing his chocolatey brown eyes. "Wait, what do you mean, 'downstairs'? The whole building was blown to hell- I detonated the power core... There isn't enough downstairs left to fill a thumbtack."

"Are you serious?!" Mitch grabbed Alex by th chin of his helmet. "You couldn't have blown all the way to sub level 7! Tell me you didn't!" he yelled at him. He turned around. "Damnit! What the hell is wrong with you?" he continued. "You couldn't have destroyed the Superintendant AI! You didn't did you?"

Alex simply waited for the ODST who ranked higher than him to finish berating and demanding answers. The young man calmly moved his head, pulling his helmet out of Mitch's grasp. The mediterranean ODST Ordinance member then asked, "There is a sub-level seven? I thought that all ONI buildings only had five. All I know is everything five and under went boom- and you're asking me what's wrong with me? To be perfectly frank, when you have three scarabs, a crowd of wraiths, and a huge force of Covenant bearing down on you, it's either surrender- and die- or not let them get what they want- try to destroy them and blow the building. If I hadn't they would have known all of our strategies!" he barked at Mitch.

Commander Tyler Bly sat on the ramp of a Pelican amusingly watching the two ODSTs argue.
Mitch turned around and pushed Alex against a Pelican. "They've already lost! They already know where Earth is!" he responded. "Their mission was to cripple our military operations! You wanna know why the Remnant are just in the city now? Because YOU took out there objective! It's only a matter of time until Fort Cole is blown to hell, then it's off to Earth!"
Bly just about had enough. He stood up, picked up his Jet Black RECON helmet and waited a little longer.

Matchsticks pushed the rubble off himself and eagle Eyes the only two known survivors of their squad. He cursed their objective to retrieve The Superintendant. If they would of not been the last ones in to go in they would of been dead like the others. He saw a Pelican. "Come on" said Matchsticks. "I can't walk...I can't feel my legs man" said Eagle Eyes. "then i will carry you you lazy bastard" said Matchsticks as he threw his friend over his shoulder. He ran towards the Pelican as fast as he could wth his downed buddy.

Alex glared at Mitch. "Tell me, then, what would you have done? Since you're so obviously more brilliant than any tactician ever to serve the UNSC, why the hell were you sent here? If I was supposed to know this you, being a superior, should have informed me that the building needed to be preserved. And if that thick skull is preventing my message from coming through, I'll repeat what I said earlier- I only knew of a Sub-level five. It's entirely possible the AI that no one apparently knew of is intact."
He used his hands to disentangle himself from the officer's grasp, and walked a step away from the Pelican, and picked up his dropped SPARTAN Laser. "Now, you do know chains of command, and their responsibilities? Commanders hold responsibility for their troops' actions. Thus, if I didn't get the information, it's your fault. So next time, slam your own head against a Pelican."

Mitch growled, "Oh, you wanna know what the chain of command is? Huh?!" Mitch said. he turned and punched Alex in the face as hard as he could. "It's the chain I go and beat you with when you do something stupid!"

((OOC/ Ask Mitch- I assume so, though. )) Alex reeled from being punched in the face. That jackass of a higher-ranking officer was doing this to him?! Because of a mistake in the chain of command... noticabely himself! Alex pulled his helmet off, and touched the bruise with his left hand. He then glared at that moronic commander with now baleful brown eyes. Instead of hitting back, he simply ignored the jackass, and tapped something into a standard military issue data transmitter. After he was done, he put it back on his armor, and looked back at Mitch. "You've officially abused your power as a higher-ranking military officer by physically assaulting a military service member of lower rank due to a fault of your own." He spat angrily, "By the way, I had thought you were supposed to be fighting the Covenant- not trying to illegally assault a fellow service corp member who did the best job possible due to a lack of... oh! A lack of information and leadership that was vitally needed, and not provided by you. Thus, this debacle? All your fault. Have fun with your military career."

As Vince pulled up near the pelican, he saw Mitch punch Alex. 'what the hell?' Vince thought as he climbed out of the warthog and walked over, catching the end of what Alex said, "...All your fault.Have fun with your military career."
Vince wondered what made Mitch punch Alex, and decided find out. "What was all that about, Alex?"

Alex looked over to Vince. "Ah... just my CO blaming those under his responsibility for a fault of his own. When I brought that fact up during my berating, he decided to use physical violence- which, I will note, is illegal. Now he'd better enjoy his career while he has it, because the Commander of the Majestic Evening now knows about his f**k-up..."

((Yep, Sniper is with them))
Commander Bly laughed and stepped toward Mitch. He spoke loud enough for Alex and Vince to hear. "Lance Corporal Mitchell Edwin Johnson. Currently the ACTING leader of Arcghangel 1st Battlegroup." he said. Mitch perked up, "Yea?" he asked. Bly smirked. "Incarsirated for for seven years but was released because of... good behaviour." he continued. " Mitch sighed. "What the hell is your point?" he asked. Bly smiled. "I'm ONI intelligence officer Commander Tyler Bly. Quite the punch." he answered. "Aww, shit. What now?" Mitch shook his head. He just got out, now he was gonna go back in. "Because of the mission at hand, I'm gonna let it slide. But that is and was your only warning. This is the front line. Not boot camp."
Just then, two soldiers emrged from the rubble. One was injured, and the other one looked alright. Bly waved down a couple of his men. "Let's get some help over there! We have survivors!" Bly and seven of his men rushed over to help Matchsticks and Eagle Eyes.

"Alright, now I'm pissed." John said to himself. Being knocked back from an explosion and covered under debris, he had all the right to be. Pushing all the rubble off him, he heard what appeared to be an argument in the distance as well as the roaring engines of a Pelican. Fox managed to get up and after checking himself, ran went to find out what was going on.

"You mean that ONI place blowing up? I thought that was the covenant...." Vince said, looking confused. "So did you blow it up?"

Mandy let out a long, relaxed sigh; the AI was destroyed. She watched as the ODST's yelled at each other, and even punched each other. She looked over at Carrie and Atlas when Mitch punched the other ODST, Carrie didn't flinch, but Atlas seemed about ready to pull his combat knife on his CO. Now, this Commander was actually letting the Mitch get away with hitting the ODST. The UNSC was just as dirty as Lacewing, who knew?
Carrie then remember she had been ordered to contact some colonel. She entered the Pelican and sat at it's radio, 'Come in Command, come in."
Minutes later....
"Sir!" she cried, throwing down the head phones. "Sirs!" she quickly corrected, leaping from the Pelican. "I've got orders, from the Colonel, we have to get back to Earth, it's about to be attacked," Atlas immediatly became alert, "Attacked? Who? When?" "We need to leave, right now." Carrie said to Mitch.
