Halo Effect (Cross Over) Main Thread

[Derek_the_Dodo]

Athame:

Athame wondered about how she could sum up the past events to Luna in a brief sentence. In a lot of ways not much had changed, she still had a gift with the healing effects of biotics and an open mind towards all races and creeds.

But this mantra of unadulterated passion for the glory of life had been tainted by the reaper invasion. Doubts and worries about the sanctity of freedom, the ability for races from all planets to live in harmony had been muddied by the horrors of indoctrination. She hated her new suspicion, her anxieies that these new arrivals would bring about even more pain and conflict.

She thought back to her father's fate, how the C-sec of old had failed her and her family. How her mother had fought tooth and nail for the rights of Vorcha and other non council species on the citadel after the incident. I suppose that's where I get it from she thought, as she expertly used her biotic field to tilt her glass to her mouth.

"I've been holding up fine, well, as well as its possible for one to. What do you make of our new arrivals?" she asked.

SSG Murphy

Murphy jumped, startled by the loudness of Alan's belching. He laughed when he realized what it was. Turning back to the bar he fumbled around and pulled out the money to pay the bill. Murphy looked at Mee.

"I think it's about time to head back to the ship." And with that Murphy began to teeteringly make his way back to the ship.

Kenneth woke up several hours later from drinking at the bar. In his hand were his tags and Amy.

Well, enough of this... Kenneth got himself dressed, his bars of Lieutenant-rank shinning from the artificial light of the apartment.

Kenneth left his apartment and headed towards the ship via Cab

Captain Nassa

She went on the COM Channel and responded to all UNSC soldiers. ?It?s time to return to the ship. All UNSC Soldiers I repeat, return to the ship.?

While at the same time Marsiani finally decided to send the Geth the information on their history, she did although black ink some things and omitted them for secure reasons. But she sent a basic outline to them. After that, together with Nassa they left and headed towards the ship.

Once aboard she went up to the main deck where she was greeted by her fellow peers and then began to explain over the ships com?s everything that had happened. Once that was finished she began to sit and ponder.

JASTIS-015

He heard the com channel and knew he had to leave but then spoke. ?Turian, do you still have any questions before I leave?

SSG Murphy

The next morning, Murphy awoke with a familiar pounding in his head.

We can travel through slipspace, but there's still no cure for the hangover. He though to himself as he took some painkillers. After cleaning up, Murphy donned his fatigues and headed to the SF armory to see if the trainer rounds were in yet. They weren't.

With a sigh of frustration, Murphy took the long walk down to the main armory. The SF groups were only 3 days away from live-fire drills. Murphy remembered seeing an ODST Lieutenant at the fight, he would see if he could hunt her down and see if she knew anything about the issue. Murphy diverted his course from the armory to the ODST quarters.

Murphy wasn't sure how he felt about going to the ODST quarters. He hadn't been back since transferring to a sub-group two years ago. Since then, he and and the other SF operators had been squirreled away, cleaning up messes and splinter groups from the Human-Covenant War. Most of operators were like him, transfers from ODST, with a few exceptions from other Marine units.

With a bit of apprehension, Murphy approached the door and scanned his CAC card. The light blinked green, and Murphy walked through, into his old stomping grounds.

Something that Alan had discovered as a Engineer was that nothing cleared a almighty hangover like the harsh smell of engine oil. Of course, this required you to get out of bed and to the engineering bay. That in itself required getting out of bed, something which he wasn't entirely sure he could do right now.

"Sweet, Jesus, marmalade smothered Krogan balls. My head feels like it has got a death metal gig going on inside of it," He mumbled, bleary eyed. He was in full dress fatigues, sprawled on his bunk. Not under the whisper-thin sheets, just lying on top of them.

Alan simply lay their for a time, trying to muster up the shear will-power to get up.

"Oh, sod it. I'm too old for this shit," he finally mumbled, falling back unconscious on his bunk.

"I've been holding up fine, well, as well as its possible for one to. What do you make of our new arrivals?" she asked.

"Not sure." Luna said after a long time of thinking. She wasn't sure what to make of them, they seemed like standard human infantry when drinking but not when sober.

Mee's comms went off, she had a sip of what they were drinking but didn't like the taste. After hearing the announcement, she said good bye and made her way back to the ship.

Luna heard the announcement too and paid her bill. "I have to be with them most of the time, and now its time to get going. Want to come along? i need to assemble a joint species team to take aboard with me and a Doctor is a good place to start. You'd be able to help out with any injuries sustained by them by our universe's weapons." The asari asked.

 

[Derek_the_Dodo]

"I would be honoured." Athame replied following Luna out of the club.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Kenneth stepped out of the cab, eyeing the ship. Huh, interesting...

He waited outside, seeing if other Biotic soldiers were boarding as well. He really didn't understand the whole situation with that man "Murphy" but he decided to see if any other soldiers, Krogan, Asari, whatever was joining these..."Helljumpers" was the battalion?

Kenneth couldn't remember

 

[Bravo 21]

"No, that's all for now, and I suppose that I should report back to my own CO. Maybe I'll see you around sometime." Quintus stood and nodded to the tall spartan. "Best of luck."

 

[vrbtny]

Alan dragged himself out of his bunk at some unidentified time in the mid-morning. Not feeling any better, but he knew he had to get up.

He shuffled like a zombie through Broken Destiny's stark metal corridors, trying to find his way to the Engineering bay, he really needed the smell of oil to clear his head.

JASTIS-015

?Alright then, I shall be off.? Jastis spoke as he stood up from his seat. The Quarian?s did the same and began to converse amongst themselves. ?Nice talking with all of you.?

He left the group and headed towards the craft that would fly him to the UNSC Broken Destiny which was still sitting around the Citadel.

Above the Colony of Ronokis.

?Alright, the plan is starting now. I already got our agent in the Citadel working so that the UNSC Broken Destiny will be the ones to land here. So we need to take out any civilians and set up shop.?

?Yes sir!? Spoke his men.

Unknown Agent inside the Citadel

When it happened, she was quickly sent the information so they would have no doubts that Ronokis was being attacked. She called over to her leading officer. ?Sir, the colony of Ronokis appears to be under attack, look at this data.? The data began to show images of unknown forces of mix races attacking the colony.

?Alright, we shall send one of our teams?? He spoke as he began to use his Omi-Tool to get into contact with his own officer.

?May I suggest we use the UNSC Broken Destiny? Send them to Ronokis for their first assignment??

?Hm? they did just get allied with the Citadel. Alright, I will talk to the council and see their opinions on this.? He proceeded to send the information to the council.

 

[Bravo 21]

Quintus worked at suppressing a grin, having found out that he was being sent as a representative of the entire Turian species to serve upon the newest council vessel, the UNSC Broken Destiny. He figured that he would probably end up missing the crew of the Defiant, but right now he was swept up in events, without much time for pause or second guessing.
He then went through one last equipment check, going through his kit bag to make absolutely certain that he hadn't forgotten anything. Confident that head everything he needed, he went down to the mess, to procure some dextro-amino MREs, confident that the newcomers wouldn't have any compatible foods.
___________

Quintus strolled across the docking bay, towards the Broken Destiny, staring up at the alien design of the hull. Approaching the two soldiers standing guard at the entrance, he saluted, "Lt. Quintus Arctus, reporting to the UNSC Broken Destiny as assigned." One of the soldiers checked something on a device, and returned the salute. "Right this way sir. Welcome to the Destiny."
With that, Quintus walked aboard the new ship.

SSG Murphy

Murphy wandered the quarters, not finding the officer, but plenty of strange looks.
Just my luck he thought to himself as he left. He needed to get down to the engineer bay anyways, they had a rappelling drill there in a half hour.

Back in the SF quarters Murphy put on his combat gear, khaki pants, a dark brown t-shirt, tactical vest, knee and elbow pads, and a black ball cap with the Rockies logo on it. He laced his jump boots tight. They were an older pair, broken in and comfortable, the dirt of countless missions caught in the cracks.

When Murphy reached the engineer bay he saw the engineer from the night before. A proper introduction was in order, so Murphy walked over to him, holding out his hand in greeting. It was a bit risky, as engineers typically didn't like the presence of SF getting in their way, especially those holding loaded, fully automatic weapons, but Murphy figured it was worth a shot at the very least.

Athame:

"Goddess, what a ship!" Athame said to an echo as she set foot aboard the UNSC vessel. She didn't know a lot about starships but she knew that this was one of the most advanced ones that she had seen. Yet so primitive in other ways. Sort of like if you had a planet destroying laser as the main weapon but a gaping big exhaust port at the back that could blow up the entire station should a stray asteroid or laser in a firefight enter it.

Athame realised that there was something wrong. There wasn't a person in sight. It looked like everyone had just upped and left in the middle of what they were doing for a little over a week without any particular reason for doing so.

Maybe everyone has been called to gather due to some urgent assignment she pondered.

"Hello?" She called out hoping that someone would respond.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Lieutenant Kenneth Senshi

After seeing several alien races board the ship, Kenneth marched into the ship, wondering that could type of technologies these new races had.

Looking around the halls of the ship, he raised an eyebrow. I would how good this ship will do against boarding action. he thought.

Sighing, he found the armory, seeing his own specialized equipment awaiting him. He smiled. I think I'll use Amy's moves as well... Terrible thing to let them go to waste...[sub]Amy[/sub]

He slowly got himself ready.

 

[Bravo 21]

Quintus meandered through the ship, hoping to familiarize himself with it, to little avail. He had spent time aboard ships from a wide variety o races, but this one was the first ship to feel truly alien. He spent time tryin to orient himself, but only succeeded in getting lost, and getting more that a few stares from the crew he encountered. Eventually he found his way back to where he had come from, and encountered an Asari who looked almost as lost a he felt, and so hoping to make the best of a confusing situation, he walked over to introduce himself, "Afternoon, I'm Quintus Arctus, one of the council representatives, and yourself?"

 

[Derek_the_Dodo]

Athame:

"My name is Athame and it's a pleasure to meet you. I was invited by Luna to be part of a joint species team representing our dimension aboard this vessel. I'm a doctor, so with that in mind I hope I won't be seeing you too often."

"Do you have any idea what is going on? There was a call for our team and the UNSC crew to assemble here but I have no idea why. It did sound urgent."

 

[Bravo 21]

"Well, I appreciate your concern. As for what we've been summoned for I can't say, but I'm certain that someone around here will know, maybe the bridge crew, if you want to help me try to find them, so far this ship has been a bit of a maze. However, if we wander long enough, we're certain to do d someone who knows the way." Looking out at the corridors before him, Quintus tried to remember the way to any of the ships central areas, "Well, I think it may be this way, so if you would care to join me..." he gestured down the halls, inviting Athame to accompany him.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Lieutenant Kenneth Senshi

Adjusting his helmet to polarize, Kenneth quickly placed his classic Mattock assault rifle and Eviscerator custom shotgun in their slots on his armor. Nodding with satisfaction, he got himself out of the armory, and started wandering around the Broken Destiny carefully scanning over the people around, seeing if other Biotic soldiers were dragged into this as well.
