[img][/img]
Personality: Very thoughtful. Never speaks out without first thinking. The same goes for his actions, as is befitting for an explosives/ordnance/demolition expert.

((Shall we start in the streets of new Mombasa, or the fields and forests of Reach?))

(how about Reach? Or the Pillar of Autumn?)

((Yes! Pillar of Autumn, during the boarding manoeuvre.))

F961 crouches behind a hefty container of some sort (you know, the ones in halo ce). Plasma bolts fly overhead, and he sees Conor in the corridor behind him "Get down!" shouts F961.

Conor:
(Hes a Spartan 2 by the way)
I hit the deck and pull my combat rifle off my back take aim on a Covenant and fire, the Ungoi's methane tank explodes and sends the little alien flying into a brute. The huge Jiralhanae faced me and a look of anger covered its face. It drew a gravity hammer and charged. "OH CRAP!" I yell and leap back. My hand lands on a fallen Sangelli's plasma grenade, I pick it up and hurl it at the Jiralhanae, it sticks to his face and blows his head to bits.

(I also usually call the Covenants by their species name)

((I would, but I can never spell them))

F961 stands suddenly, turning around to point the twin barrels of his rocket launcher at the closer of the two hunters. The blast clears, and the creature is still standing, hiding behind its shield. He stares in horror for a moment, then bowls a frag grenade under its shield. "What's your plan, spartan?"

((Btw, F961 is my service tag on Halo reach))

(My service tag on Reach is FAIL lol)
Conor:
"Something like this" I say smiling. I sprint forward grabbing another sticky grenade as I go and I leap up and land on the Mogali Golo's shoulders. (Mogolo is the singular worm, Mogali Golo, is the colony of worms that forms up the Hunters) I then plant the grenade on the seething mass of worms that is the creatures back. I jump off and hide behind the cover that F961 is hiding behind and cover my helmeted head as the grenade detonates, and dozens of orange worms covered in orange blood fly over our heads.

"Nice," replies F961. "But we have to drive them back to the airlock."

Conor:
I grin, "On it" I say and jump up grab a minigun turret and start spraying fire at the Covenants. "JENNA!" I bark at my on board AI. "Shields on full!" Than taking fire I drive them back a few feet to a barticade

Conor:
I jump back behind the crate and say, "Better than nothing right?"

"I agree," replies F961. "But what we could do with is ordnance. I'll be right back."
F961 breaks from cover and sprints across the corridor, throwing himself into the room. He walks up to a gauss warthog, and pulls the turret off. "A little bit of vandalism can go a long way," he growls. "Cover me!"

Conor:
"On it!" I yell and stand raising the turret and spraying fire again.

As Mogali Golo always travel in pairs, F961 is expecting the next one to round the corner. He levels the gauss gun at it and blows it away in a single shot. The recoil staggers him, and he takes a moment to re-aim and recharge. "Push on to the airlock," he growls. "I'll take point."

Conor:
"Don't you need someone to drive that thing?" I yell as I walk forwardpushing Covenants back. As I walk Marines rally around me and use their battle rifles to fire at the Covenants. Just then a Zealot Sangelli runs into the airlock and starts firing a plasma rifle.

Ardus:
I decide now is the time to give assistance to my men. I reach out and pick up my high powered plasma rifle. I have my energy sword on my waist as well. I then run throught the air lock and start firing at the humans.

"Zealot," murmurs F961, tracking the approacing elite, and loosing off a deadly gauss round.

((I envisage this round failing to hit Ardus, but knocking the energy sword from his hand. However, it's your call.))

(Ardus wasn't holding his energy sword, just a plasma rifle but that can be knocked away and he can retreat then)
Ardus:
I curse the human demon as my weapon is shot from my hands, he had either missed or he was a crack shot because I had not been harmed at all. I then turn and fled as the larger human in the red armor holding the turret came closer firing at me as he did.

Conor:
I keep firing as the Zealot runs. I laugh as the Covenants dissapear out the airlock.

"Good job," remarks F961. "Now we have to remove the ship. Got det-packs?"

Conor:
"Right here" I say pointing to a crate with them in it.

"Fantastic. You take left, I'll take right. Put them on the far side of the airlock. We don't want to damage our own ship. Tell me when you're done," says F961. "Unless you have a better plan?" He stares at Conor, always open to a better suggestion.

Conor:
"Sounds good to me, unless" I say a grin springing over my face, "We take them by surprise and capture their ship!"

F961 frowns inside his helmet. He taps the flanges of his eod helmet with the fingers of his left hand. "Yes. Yes, that might work. The UNSC will be very pleased with a captured covenant ship."

Conor:
"Lets do it!"I say enthusiastically and barrel towards the air lock.

"Drop!" roars F961, seeing the brute in front of Conor raise a gravity hammer. F961 hefts the gauss cannon and fires again.

((By the way, he's pulled it clean off the warthog. Same way Master Chief does with the rocket pod.))
