Sup.
Ask questions and discuss ideas for the thread here.
I'll start with a question. As team two is arriving and team one is about to enter the control room, the Phantom get's shot down, yes?
No? Discuss.

Yeah, it crashes, and we engage in epic CQC as we take refuge in a nearby Forerunner structure and await for the area to be cleared. We then head into the Control Room, etc etc.

How many people want to be on the Phantom? I was considering having Zarra on it, but it sounds like most people want their characters on it too. We don't want to all end up on the same dropship, do we?

I want Phantom, because ground-team needs a sniper.

It sounds like the ground team is getting dropped into close combat though, where a sniper wouldn't be very useful. I was thinking the snipers would be on the Phantom and get dropped of a little farther away to provide the ground team better support.

Ah. Well, put me wherever the Phantom goes, then.

Elias is on Phantom going to Control Room
Can Otto come in and save the people on Halo because they need a ride with a FTL to get off. Perhaps his ship could deal with a Rifter Ship near the ring and just wait in stealth mode to pick you all up?

I think we were going to making things a little more complicated than that. We might need all the human and Elite ships preoccupied for a while, if we stick with the plan. How do you feel about your ship getting damaged and needing to land for repairs? The Rifters would concentrate on the control room and probably leave the ship alone for the most part, maybe send a few squads over to keep you busy if you want. Then you could get the ship fixed then come in and pick us up when it's time to go.

Sounds good to me. Here's what it sounds like to me, so far:
Sanderson and Zaku lead the fleets in a charge on the Halo Ring and the Rifter forces. Katar and Chandler lead the ground forces with three Phantoms and a Pelican. The Pelican has the majority of the Spartans, but Elias will be in the Phantom to get shot down, and Justin will be with the Elites in another Phantom. Zarra will be in the Phantom to get shot down, and Darman will be... I dunno. Was never clear to me where he would be.
So we have...
PELICAN: Chandler, Anau, Katar Cleaving Righteousness: Elias, Zarra, Darman, Jack Bloody Retribution: Justin Sleek Shadow: Zaku
(this list is only what I remember- could be wrong)
Zaku brings down the Sleek Shadow later on in the battle, right before the assault the actual control room, and arrives with about fifteen or twenty Sangheili Honor Guards and four Ultras to help take down the Rifters in close-up combat.
About now, a Hornet accompanying the Phantoms gets shot, and it crashes into Phantom 1. The Phantom goes down and crashes on a veranda outside of the Control Room, near the top of the temple. The four or five survivors (Elias, Zarra, a Sangheili Major, and two Sangheili Minors) have to hold off the flood of Rifters while the rest of the group fights into the control room. Zaku diverts his forces to rescue the survivors, and manages to save the two last ones- Zarra and Elias.
The assembled forces push into the control room, and surround the Rifters. Something just short of a massacre incurs, and the Rifter Commander (the one Danny made, who destroyed Earth?) is the last to fall, wielding dual sentinel beams, and is killed by Chandler, who beats him down with his assault rifle, tells him something along the lines of "This is for Earth" and snaps his neck with his bare hands. =P
Then Elias starts laughing- or, more accurately, Grim does. Grim has uploaded himself into the Halo Ring, and begins the countdown to fire it. Justin simply picks up his gun and shoots Elias in the chest, but his armor keeps him dying- he is knocked unconscious. Justin runs over to the same panel Grim used, and Eo uploads himself. An AI battle begins, and Eo engages the self-destruct. As parts of the Halo Ring start blowing up, Otto brings down some of his Pelicans, along with the remaining two Phantoms, and they pick up the group, and return to the fleet at the Halo Ring starts to disintegrate.
Eo is consumed by Grim in the battle, but he infects himself with a suicide virus. This corrupts Grim's files, but he manages to send himself as a comm message to a crippled Rifter ship, floating dead in space. This purges his files of Eo and the virus, but also purges him of all the other AIs he has devoured. He is back at square one, but now controls a dead ship with a few surviving crew members.
The Halo Ring explodes, and the Sangheili-human fleet leaves as it does. Grim's ship is just barely outside of the explosion's radius, but his ship is battered even more, but survives.
That basically it? Because I don't know where Darman goes/does, I didn't have anything about him for now...

I'm not sure where I am, either. XD
Wherever the other sniper is needed.

That sounds good Ares, but the above two paragraphs are going to be a little different when the time comes. Also, this isn't that scripted, you can have your characters anywhere and doing anything you want. While on the topic of being scripted, before we enter the control room, everyone needs to be together. Darman and/or Zarra, at least

777 wanted his character on Phantom 1, and I don't see why he couldn't be on it. We'll all regroup before a sniper is really needed, might as well have both snipers on the same dropship.

Sounds good Ares. If we ever need a new bad guy we have Grim floating offline (to conserve power and such) in space in The Crippled Rifter Ship. I already know a way for him to come back into civilisation....We could even tie it into 777's idea. I guess I should have Elias hang with Darman and Zarra .

I wanted my SPARTAN to be on the Phantom that gets shot down.
If not, then he'll be on the Pelican. I'm flexible.
