When Fire Fell From The Sky[Chapter 1&2]
Chapter one
[2526 3rd of February. Planet:Harvest.]
Looking into the night sky Sergeant Adian Priest stood on the spot where his wife died. Looking into the stars wondering if his wife felt pain before she died. It seemed so long ago that he was in love.
He was fresh out of the marines. She was a nurse who gotten a good job offer out on Harvest. Soon both of them found jobs. He joined with the local police force. Soon was put in charge of a Tactical Response Unit. His team were well trained for counter terrorist, hostage situations and contraband seizures.
Both of them had spent three years on Reach before the unthinkable happened. The Covenant Invasion of Harvest. Yet it was not them who killed his wife. It was a man who he swore to bring to justice.
He brought one plastic rose, laying it on the spot where his wife died. His face was full of grief as he remembered that last day together. His helmet radio came to life."Alpha Wolf this is Black Wolf two-four, You OK ?" He brushed the tears away. "Copy Alpha Wolf is heading back to the den." He left the broken street where a medical clinic stood.
His black tactical armor had seen extensive use. It hid him as he slipped away in the night. Rubble lay every where as he traversed this wasteland. As he left New Athens business district staying in the darkness. Yet he could not stop the flood of memories from the past.

[Rally point Echo, Command OP] Captain Andrew White sat in his chair looking over reports on his portable computer. His face lined with worry due to the fact the UNSC forces were vastly outnumbered. Rally points Alpha, Bravo and Delta were overrun. Wind blew at the tent flap. He looked over then back to his reports. Foxtrot, Golf and India were still getting set up and waiting for more to arrive but with things in disarray he doubt that any one else who did not arrive will come in. Opening a link to Command he was face to face with his superior. Lt. Col. Hayden Green, Who was an ageing African American in his late sixties. Green was all that was left of Harvest Command when the aliens called the Covent struck. " Sir i am about to launch Operation Lifeboat. We have survivors being protected by Police who need military assistance. We will withdraw after we get the Civilians clear." White speaking in a clear but concerned tone. " You want air support well we lost our air base and they are moving on us son. You are to get the Civilians out of New Athens. You are to get them to safety. Hide if you have to. It is up to you now. Now get moving! I am sending Foxtrot,Golf and India to get out as many as you can. I am also linking a few UNSC outposts. Good Luck." As the com turned off he stood up. Walked over to dress in his body armor. Rebbecca entered she looked around to see the captain donning his armor. " Sir ? Sergeant Carter wants to know when we are moving out." White was silent for a moment as he put a clip into his Magnum. He cocked it then placed it in his holster. " Tell him all personnel combat fit will ride. While the Non-combat personnel are to travel to a UNSC base out in the swamps." Picking up his Assault Rifle he inserted a clip. Snaching up four other magazines of ammo placing them in pouches. He was ready to go. Rebbecca nodded to him then exited the tent with worry on her face. White understood what was going on. His troops were feeling helpless but he knew that every soldier must deal with fear. Even he knew they were losing yet he would never publicly admit it. Morale needed a boost so he had a plan in mind. Exiting the tent he knew what had to be done. [Edited on 08.23.2012 9:06 AM PDT]
