(At 1:02 is my favorite part of the soundtrack in the beginning of the level.)

Sword Base, Babd Catha Ice Shelf, Eposz
July 26, 2552 11:26 Hours

No one's POV

Sword Control: Be advised, Kilo three-three and Kilo three-four, your current LZ is too hot!

Carter: Roger that. Dot, stand by to receive and respond.

Auntie Dot: Yes commander..... Coordinates received. Initiate immediate course correction. The Office Of Naval Intelligence Sword Base is currently under siege from a Corvette-class Covenant Vessel. Due to the sensitive nature of this facility, use of orbital rounds have been, for the moment, prohibited. Regrettably, my efforts to obtain relevant data on enemy forces has been unsuccessful, however current defensive forces are insufficient. ONI has requested Team Noble and Reaper's direct intervention to help secure Sword Base.

Carter: Alright people, we're stuck with that ship for the time being, let's focus on hostile infantry - give those troopers a hand. Kat - Six, you're out here. Jorge - Emile, you're next, get prepped.

Kat: Let's move, lieutenant.

Corey: Vinnie, with me. Scar, Meet us when the courtyard is clear, Ashley, go with the Jorge, David patch up anyone you can.

Carter: Kat - Six, push back the hostile attack, find out what we're dealing with.

Kat: Roger that, we're your strike team.

Sword Control: Spartan's, hostiles North.

Kat: Let's knock some head, lieutenant.

Corey's POV

We were immediately assaulted by two Jackals, an Elite and four grunts, coming from three different directions, Me and the troopers went left, Six went right, Kat and Vinnie went straight, we quickly killed the hostiles, when a Phantom came

Corey: Phantom, get to cover!

Sword Control: You got enemy contact Spartans.

The troopers went behind the wall, tucked away in a corner, I crouched in front of the small barrier on the walk way, firing on more Jackals, Six moved behind the Containers, flanking them, as Kat and Vinnie were pinned down behind the barricades, I open fire on the Concussion Rifle Elite after I dealt with the Jackals, landing three headshots before he went to cover, I then shot the Jackals, as Six went behind the three other Elites and assassinated one of them, surprising the rest of the enemies, Kat and Vinnie seen the opportunity and open fired killing the remaining Grunts and Jackals, as the troopers also shot at the elites, killing two others, I saw the Concussion Rifle Elite about to open fire on a distracted Six and Sprinted further down the walk way, jumping off, and onto the Elite, stabbing him the neck, me and Six continued to cut down the Grunts and Jackals coming up the hill, as well as a few Skirmishers

Kat: Sword Control, courtyard is clear, over.

Sword Control: Head for the main gate to the East, I'll brief you as you go.

Kat: Sword Control, I see a Target Locator, any artillery support in the area?

Sword Control: Limited, but will prioritize, whatever you need Ma'am.

Six grabbed the Target Locator, as soon as the gate opened, we were immediately greeted by three other troopers in cover

3-Echo-57: 3-Echo-57, headed back to base, but we got enemy tangos on our six, how copy? I pulled out my Rocket Launcher and immediately shot at one wraith, while Vinnie shot the other with hers, distracting both wraith's from destroying the Troop Transport, as soon as we finished reloading we shot again, destroying the wraith's before they had a chance to fire, as Kat and Six dealt with incoming infantry

Scar: Comin' in hot.

Her Falcon hovered above us, then she jumped out, the Falcon leaving us, as a Pelican came in with a Warthog and a Trooper, while the Troop Transport drove towards us

3-Echo-57: Thanks for the assist, we were almost barbecued troopers.

I nodded

Corey: Stay here with the other troopers, stay near the gate and set up defensive positions, take any Rocket launchers and ammo you can find and be ready, I doubt the covenant will give up that easily, and you too.

I said to the Gunner of the new Warthog. They agreed, driving the Troop Transport in-between the rocks and the wall, and got started scavenging for Rocket launchers and ammo

Sword Control: The old Ferhigat station has an old Comms array, that should bring us back online with command. Air view base has an AA battery that will help clear the skies.

Corey: Kat, Vinnie, Scar, we should split up, you take the Comms Array while me and Six will take the AA gun, and take the Warthog too.

They agreed and went off

Corey: I like you, Six. I have a feelin' we'll become great friends.

He nodded, we then began to sprint towards our next objective.
