This day was dug out of the dirt, this day was fought for. When when night fell, there was only Low, and me. Lowraith and I had seen the worst, and pushed on. We had been ODST for only a few missions, our first drop was New Mombasa. The Covenant creatures has destroyed everything, when I first heard the phrase; "they glassed the outlaying cities" I had no idea what to make of it. It only took us one night to realize that anybody who wasn't evacuated was dead. In the night, under the faint glow of night vision display, and without ammunition, Low and I carved a hole straight through New Mombasa with standard issue combat knives, and bloodied knuckles. Our ticket out of the city didn't show up till morning, a strangely beautiful Covy creature that made sounds like a whale as it flew through the air. What ever it was it wasn't pulling for the enemy, and it helped us get to a SO. I never would have thought a covy would save my life.
