The scene starts on a planet known as Reach, one of the few planets that humanity lived in.

Reach was similar to Earth, but different in many ways. Landscaping and wildlife was only the tip of the ice burg. The UNSC have also been ordered to protect this planet for the sake of humanity.

On the surface of Reach, Y/N, and a female Spartan were being driven in a warthog towards a UNSC outpost. Y/N noticed the female Spartan in the front passenger seat was staring into the visor of her helmet.

Y/N: You okay?

The Spartan didn't respond at first before turning the helmet around and putting it on.

Spartan: I'm fine.

Y/N: So, this is your first time as well?

Spartan: In what?

Y/N: On a mission or on Reach?

Spartan:This isn't my first.

Y/N: Oh. So, you've been here before.

Spartan: Never in my life.

Y/N: (confused) What? I don't... you know what? Never mind.

Both Falcons land in the camp, and the Warthog pulls to a stop. The Spartan gets out of the Warthog with Y/N, and the two of them move toward a building.

Colonel Urban Holland (COM): Contact with Visegrad Relay was lost last night. All signals flatlined at twenty-six hundred hours.

Another Spartan, Jun-A266, was sitting outside a Falcon's passenger cabin, watches as the Spartan and Y/N pass by, quietly placing rounds into a sniper rifle magazine.

Holland (COM): I responded with trooper fire teams, which have since been declared MIA.

Carter-A259 the leader of Y/N's new team is watching a holographic computer screen which displays Holland's portrait and other information.

Carter: And now you're sending us.

Holland (COM): The Office of Naval Intelligence believes deployment of a Spartan team and Special Operatives are a gross misallocation of valuable resources. I disagree.

The Spartan and Y/N reach the door, and glances at Spartan Emile-A239 sharpening his kukri blade against his shoulder pauldron. They attempt to enter, but are immediately stopped by another Spartan, Catherine-B320 who had a robotic prosthetic for her right arm and was holding her helmet.

Catherine: Commander.

Carter and Jorge-052 turn to look to look at the Spartan and Y/N.

Jorge: So that's our new number six and seven.

The Spartan stepped up, Y/N hung back.

Emile: Kat, you read their files?

Kat: Only the parts that weren't covered in black ink. Even Eight.

Carter turns back to the screen.

Carter: Anyone claim responsibility, sir?

Holland (COM): ONI thinks it might be the local Insurrection. Five months ago, they pulled a similar job on Harmony. Hit a relay to take out our eyes and ears, then stole two freighters from dry-dock. That cannot happen here. Reach is too damn important. I want that relay back online, Noble One.

Carter: Sir. Consider it done.

Holland: Then I'll see you in the other side, Holland out.

Jorge and Emile stand up. Carter grabs his helmet from the table and turns to face the Spartan and Y/N.

Carter: Lieutenant, Sergeant.

Spartan: Commander. Sir.

Y/N: Sergeant Y/N Rose, reporting for duty, Sir.

Jorge and Emile start moving out. Kat joins them by the door.

Carter: I'm Carter, Noble Team's leader. That's Kat, Noble Two, Emile and Jorge, Four and Five. You're riding with me, Noble Six and Seven.

Y/N and the other Spartans exit the building, with Six next to Carter, with Kat, Emile who sheathes his knife, and Jorge walking side by side in front of them, towards the Falcon.

Carter: I'm not gonna lie to either of you. You're both stepping into some shoes the rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled.

The Spartans reach the Falcon, with the other three moving to another, Y/N, Six, and Carter getting into the one where Jun is already waiting.

Carter: Me, I'm just happy to have Noble back up to full strength. Just two things - I've seen your file, Lieutenant. Even the parts the ONI censors didn't want me to. I'm glad to have your skill set, but we're a team. That lone-wolf stuff stays behind. Clear?

Carter then signals for the other Falcon to get airborne.

Six: Got it, sir.

Carter: And Sergeant?

Y/N: Yes sir?

Carter; I know who you are. Same deal with Six, I read the parts even the ONI sensors didn't want me to. I don't care what you were before, all that matters is that you're here now. You got that?

Y/N: Understood.

Jun: Welcome to Reach.

The Falcons take off and start moving toward a mountain range in the distance.

Two hours later

Two UH-144 falcons fly over a mountainous landscape as the leader of noble team Carter is looking over at the other falcon.

Carter: Listen up, Noble Team. We're looking at a downed relay outpost, fifty klicks from Visegrad. We're going to introduce ourselves to whoever took it out, then Kat's going to get it back online.

Kat: (COM) Just get me under the hood, Commander.

Six: I just noticed something. Isn't there supposed to be an eighth member?

Y/N: What? An eighth member?

Carter; He's not a Spartan. He's just a regular agent, but with some enhancements and had access to specialized equipment only he can use.

That sounded quite familiar to Y/N.

Y/N: (thoughts) An agent? Wait a minute... could it be...?

Emile: (COM) Real Boogeyman, he is.

Jorge: (COM) Sir, why would rebels want to cutoff Reach from the rest of the colonies?

Carter: You get a chance, maybe you can ask them, Jorge.

Kat: (COM) Commander, we just lost our signal with HQ.

Carter: Backup channels?

Kat: (COM) Searching... Nada. Can't say what's jamming us.

The two falcons are now approaching the outpost.

Carter: You heard her. Dead zone confirmed. Command will not be keeping us company this trip.

Emile: (COM) I'm lonely already.

The falcons bank left and hover over the outpost.

Carter: Shoot down attempts are likely, so keep your distance.

Pilot: (COM) Yes, sir!

Carter: Let's stay focused. Watch your sectors.

The two falcons head in opposite directions as the Comm Relay Hub comes into view.

Jorge: There's the communications outpost.

Kat: Reading a distress beacon.

Carter: Could be the missing troopers. Let's check it out.

Carter: Put us down on the bluff.

The Falcon circles for a landing.

Carter: Jun, I want your eyes in the sky.

Jun: Sir.

The flacons land side by side, and Carter jumps down.

Carter: Let's move you two.

Y/N and Noble Six exit the falcon along with Carter, Emile and Kat. Jun and Jorge remain in the Falcon to provide sniper support. 

Carter: Alright, Noble Team. Spread out. Watch the approach.

Catherine: Distress beacon is coming from just south of here, commander, we're close.

Soon they come to a burning vehicle next to a small building. There are blood spatters on the ground near the wreckage, but no bodies. They see a black and red armored individual inspecting a broken pallet on the ground and removed a red object. 

Y/N seemed to freeze in shock. 

Y/N: (shocked and muttered) No... it can't be.

Carter: Onyx.

Onyx; Carter. Found the beacon.

Onyx tossed her the beacon.

Kat: Make out any ID?

Onyx: Negative, but it's definitely military.

Jorge: (COM) So where are all the troopers?

Kat: Why are we not seeing explosives residue?

Carter: Noble Three, can you confirm any 'ex residue in the area?

Jun: (COM) Hmm... Negative, sir.

Onyx: It, could be plasma.

Jorge: (COM) Can't be. Not in Reach.

Onyx looked over at Six and Y/N.

Onyx: Who are they?

Cartner: These are our new members, Noble Six and Seven.

Six: Nice to work with you.

Y/N: (glares) ...

Onyx: Same. I'm Onyx. Noble Eight.

Emile: There's a lot of blood on the ground.

Carter: All right, Noble, looks like there's nothing here. Let's move on.

Onyx nodded as he equipped his custom MA5BRAVO and Noble Team heads off to another cluster of buildings.

Kat: Smoke at the next structure, boss.

Carter: Circle west and check it out. Noble Team: you have permission to engage, but be selective. We don't need to telegraph our presence.

The team arrives at a house overlooking the cliffside

Carter: Noble Six, move into the house. Go in quiet. I'm right behind.

Six nodded and entered. Scanning the house and finding nothing before towards an exit.

Jun: (COM) Noble Leader, I'm seeing heat sigs in the structure ahead.

Six goes up a short flight of stairs and emerges on the other side of the house with the rest of the team meeting up with her. The second Falcon lands in the courtyard long enough to drop Jorge off, then takes off. A door in the house opens, and a male civilian steps out. Other civilians can be seen remaining inside.

Emile: On your knees, now!

Jorge: They're not rebels, they're farmers. Look at them.

Carter: Ask him what they're doing here.

Onyx: (Hungarian) What are you doing here?

The civilian begins talking as Onyx translates.

Onyx: Hiding, sir. Neighbors were attacked last night. He heard screams, gunfire. It stopped around sunrise.

Farmer: (Hungarian) Something killed my son.

Jorge: He says something in the fields...killed his son.

Y/N: (confused) Something?

Jun: (COM) Commander, be advised. I'm reading heat signatures in that structure directly east of your position. Over.

Carter: Copy that. Get them back inside.

Onyx: (Hungarian) You, get inside. Now!

Onyx, Emile and Jorge escort the civilian away as Kat, Carter, Six, and Y/N sprint east toward the building. Inside, the Spartans find several human corpses, including two uniformed ones hanging from pegs on the wall. The ground is covered with blood.

Onyx: Jesus...

Jun: (COM) Fill me in Commander, what have you seen? Over.

Onyx kneels down over the pools of blood and examines them. Avian footprints can be seen in the blood, moving across the floor.

Carter: We've got military casualties, two of the missing troopers. Looks like they were interrogated... It's messy.

Onyx stands back up and Carter signals the team to keep moving. They enter an adjacent room with another dead body. Movement is suddenly heard on the roof, and a brief hostile contact is detected on the motion tracker, which refreshes.

Carter: Movement. Watch your motion trackers.

Noble Team heads outside, but the contact disappears.

Emile: What the hell was that?

Carter: Jun, you see anything?

Jun: (COM) Negative. Thermal's clean.

Onyx: This doesn't feel right. Those footprints in the blood, they weren't human. And they weren't any of Reach's fauna.

Cartner: The rest of you, any thoughts?

Jorge: I'd rather not vivid what we're all thinking.

Emile: Could be rebels or terrorists.

Onyx: We all know what it could be. I just hope I'm wrong. (Mutters) For once...

Catherine: We don't know for sure. Six?

Six: I... I think I agree with Onyx.

Everyone notice Y/N was looking down on the floor being quiet.

Onyx: Seven? What's wrong?

Y/N: Huh? Oh, sorry... I was lost in thought.

Carter: Stay focused, Seven. Something tells me Onyx is right, and I'm hoping he's wrong.

Y/N: Got it, sir...

Noble Team heads into a nearby building.

Jun: (COM) Boss, I see movement, outside your structure!

Carter: Nobles Two and Six, move up to the west. We're about to be flanked.

Noble Team heads to a set of windows, where they see the contacts: Grunts and Skirmishers.

Y/N: Oh shit!

Jorge: Covenant!

Carter: Contact, contact! Spartans, assist!

Onyx: Light 'em up!

Noble Team engages the Covenant forces. Nearby, Banshees begin to move in.

Pilot: Banshees! Heads up, Charlie One!

A banshee was moving towards where Y/N was and fired a fuel rod at him. Y/N saw it and doged the blast while firing his rilfe at the banshee.

Onyx took down an Elite and bashed its head in with his rifle's stock. He then took a plasma grenade, activated it, and threw it into the air as a banshee passed over. The banshee then exploded and the remnants crashed dingo the water nearby.

Noble Team clears out the Covenant near the farm, while the falcon engages the Banshees, Soon, a Spirit is seen on approach.

Jun: Noble Leader, enemy dropships inbound!

Pilot: Falcon moving to assist.

Noble Team moves across the bridge, eliminating the Covenant forces.

Carter: Stand down, Noble, stand down. Contacts neutralized.

Jorge: Contacts? It's the damn Covenant!

Emile: Cheer up, big man: this whole valley just turned into a free-fire zone.

Carter: Kat, Onyx, we've got to warn Holland. I need you two at the relay outpost *now*!

Onyx: We'll get it done.

Jun: (COM) Boss, I'm showing more activity to the east!

Carter: Copy that, Jun, we're on it. Six, Seven, you two got point

Y/N: Roger that.

Onyx: Lead the way. (loads in new magazine)

Nobel Team heads across the creek to engage Ultra Elites, eventually defeating them.

Jun: (COM) Commander, I'm seeing more hostile activity to the north-east.

Carter: Emile, Onyx, you're with Kat. Six, Seven and I will run interference on the ground. We'll meet you at the outpost.

Kat: Noble Three, requesting air-lift. Over.

Y/N, Six, Carter, and Jorge head to a flatbed truck, with Carter taking passenger seat and Jorge in back, using his gun as a support. Onyx, Kat, and Emile got onto the falcon with Jun. Emile took position on a side gunner with Kat. 

Carter: Get to work, Nobles.

Y/N and Six got in the car as Six was on the driving seat. Y/N, Six, Carter, and Jorge drive around, eliminating all Covenant they come across.

They moved through the rain-soaked Visegrad. Gunning down any covenant as they cleared the valley of all hostiles.

Jun: (COM) Boss, we're picking up a distress signal.

Corporal Travis: (COM) Mayday! 3 Charlie Six, does anyone read? We were attacked by Covenant forces. The Covenant is on Reach. I repeat: the Covenant is on Reach.

Jorge: The troopers?

Carter: Let's move, Noble. We've gotta find the source of that distress call.

Jun: (COM) No disrespect, but don't we have more important things to do than round up strays?

Carter: We don't leave people behind. You see those troopers, you let me know.

Noble Team reaches a Covenant landing site and get out of the truck.

Carter: Noble Three, we've located the trooper squad. Request immediate evac. My coordinates.

Jun: (COM) Solid copy, Commander. Recalling Falcon Charlie 2. Hold that evac position.

Noble Team engages the Covenant.

Onyx: (COM) Noble Leader, be advised: We have visual on inbound Covenant dropships.

Carter: Evac transport, keep your distance! Six, hold this position. Clear an LZ.

Travis: Spartans? Corporal Travis, sir, 3 Charlie. It's the Covenant...

Carter: We know, Corporal. Let's get you out of here.

Noble Team and 3 Charlie engage the Covenant, eventually clearing them out.

Carter: Transport, LZ is clear. Move in for evac.

Jun: (COM) Affirmative. Transport inbound.

Two Falcons land.

Carter: Troopers, board that bird on the double! Pilot, stay close - watch for hostile aircraft.

Soldiers: Yes sir!

Carter: Alright Noble, let's go.

Noble Team depart for the relay.

Carter: Noble Two, Onyx, sit-rep.

Onyx: (COM) We're at the relay outpost. Door's locked. Mechanism's been flash-fused.

Carter: Can you beat it?

Kat: (COM) I dialed up my torch, cut a way through. Going to take some time.

Carter: Okay, we're route to your location.

The present members of Noble Team all boarded the falcon. They took off to the relay, the view they were met with was Covenant forces in the courtyard of the relay. Y/N saw something that he was reminded of.

Onyx stood at the entrance with spinning tiles of the bubble shield. Emile and Kat stood by him and fired at the Covenant as Onyx fired his assault rifle. Y/N was eerily reminded of North.

Y/N: (thoughts) That's North's AI ability. How does he have that? Unless, does he Theta? Did that bastard killed him and stole his AI for himself?!

Carter: Seven. What's wrong?

Y/N: Nothing, sir.

Six: Let's lend them a hand. 

Pilot (com): We're approaching the com outpost.

Carter: Drop us in the courtyard.

Pilot: (COM) LZ's a little hot, sir-

Carter: Put her down, pilot. Six, Y/N, break's over.

As the falcon lands Noble Team gets off and engages the Covenant in the courtyard.

The covenant forces now divided their focus between the two groups of humans. Shooting at both while the humans stood their ground against them

Carter: How are we doing, Kat?

Kat: Taking a little longer than we hoped, Commander. I've cut about halfway through the door.

Onyx: Contact!

Carter: Hold them off until Kat can hack the controls.

Noble Team engage the Covenant infantry, but more and more troops are dropped in via Spirit dropships.

Y/N fires his rife to shoot and kill any Grunts, Jackals, Skirmishers, Elites that are in his path while at the same time protecting Catherine. No one said that this job would be easy.

It just went into overtime as an overwhelming number of Covenant swarms across the courtyard. But it go so much worse as an energy sword-wielding Sangheili General and a team of Spec Ops Elites are dropped off.

Onyx: Swordsmen incoming!

Carter: Kat?

Kat: Just about...there! We're in!

Carter: Everybody inside! Go, go!

Onyx: I'll cover you. Move it!

Noble Team withdraws to the relay's entrance as the door closes, shutting the Covenant out.

Onyx deactivated the shield tiles. Dismissing them with a wave of his hand as they dematerialized. Y/N's dark thoughts about Onyx returned as the team caught their breath.

Y/N was clenching his fist in anger and hate. Onyx didn't notice it. Six did and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Six: You good?

Y/N: I'm fine. You?

Six: ...Just fine.

Carter than tethered everyone's attention.

Carter: Noble Team. We need to find the control room. From there, Kat can get the relay back online. Emile, post here. If we flush any hostiles, they're yours. Alright, let's do this.

Noble Team the proceed to enter the dark room.

Carter: Can't see a thing... Noble Team, turn on your night vision.

Noble Team turns on their night vision on their helmets and checked through the area. They were coming up on a doorway. Lightning peeking through.

Onyx: Control room. Check your fire.

Y/N turns the corridor and sees a dead body lying on the ground.

Y/N: I see a dead body laying ob the floor.

The rest of the team filed in.

Carter: Y/N. Check the body. See if you can find an ID.

Onyx turned another corner, seeing a wounded Marine laying near an open door.

Onyx: We got a live one here!

Y/N went searching the body as he was told. Carter and Onyx both checked on the marine. Onyx pulled out another familiar device Y/N recognized: a healing unit. Onyx took it out from behind and activated it to help the soldier with his wounds.

Carter: Where's the rest of your unit?

Corporal: We got split. I don't think they... It sounded bad on the comms.

Carter: Alright, Corporal, stay put. We'll get you a combat surgeon.

Onyx: The healing unit should fix the minor wounds, but some of those gashes and burns need to be treated by the surgeon. The shrapnel's practically fused into them.

Y/N moved the body and saw a data chip fell of the jacket.

Kat: (looks at terminal) Damn. Plasma damage.

Y/N: (picks up the chip) Found something. 

Kat snatches the data module from Y/N's hand.

Kat: I'll take that, Y/N. Not your domain.

Jorge: I've got a live one over here. Come on, out you come.

Jorge picks up a young female, but she continues hitting him while speaking Hungarian.

???: Engedj el, hadd menjek ki innen! Hé! (Let me go, let me get out of here! Hey!)

Jorge: It's all right, we're not going to hurt you.

???: Hagyjon békén! (Leave me alone!)

Carter: Jorge... (sigh) Onyx, help him.

Jorge-052: I got her.

Jorge puts down his weapon and grabs her by both arms, easily restraining her. She stops struggling.

Jorge: Keep still, and I'll release you.

???: Még... Itt vannak. (There's more...)

Onyx: There's more...?

Onyx and Jorge stiffen in alarm just as a Sangheili Field Marshal jumps down from an upper floor and ignites its energy sword. The alien slashes at Jorge, but he dodges the strike, pulling the civilian to the ground and covering her with his body. The Marshal snarls a challenge at the rest of Noble Team and charges. Two more Zealots jump down to support the Marshal.

Emile: (COM) What's your status, over?!

Carter: We've been engaged!

Onyx engaged the Marshall just as the Elite tried to slash him. Using his left forearm blades to block the energy sword before drawing his own energy sword: the bloodblade and slashed back. The Marshall jumped back in surprise and shock before engaging in a sword fight with Onyx.

The Marshall nearly cuts down Kat, but Carter pushes her out of the way. Y/N have maintained constant fire during this, and the Elite's shield finally collapses, as the Elite knocks him down as he runs out the door.

Carter: Bad guy coming out!

An Zealot grabs Y/N by the neck and extends an Energy Dagger, but him punched it at the face, causing the Elite to roar at him. Onyx would suddenly jump onto the EliteMs back, wrapping his arms around its throat like it was in a chokehold. Moving his arms slightly, he deployed his forearm spikes. 

Activating the plasma-lined edges and stabbing them into the Elite's head from below its mandibles. Ripping its mouth to ribbons and making it bless it out as it gurgled and it fell to the floor dead. 

Onyx held a hand out for Y/N to help him up, holding Y/N's assault rifle in his other hand. Y/N stared at his hand before he got himself back on his feet without Onyx's help and takes his assault rifle off his hands.

The last two Zealots head for another door leading deeper into the facility, one holding the wounded corporal as a shield and forcing Noble Team to hold their fire. The civilian girl begins screaming while the Zealots head through the door, taking the screaming corporal with them. The corporal tries to grab the doorjamb in a desperate attempt to break free, but the Zealot holding him easily drags him out of sight.

Emile: (COM) That tango blew past me. Permission to pursue?

Carter: Negative, Four, stay on the entrance! Two, handle her! Five, Six, and Seven clear the hole!

Y/N reloaded his rifle as he, Six, and Jorge head into a room, which Jorge then seals shut behind them.

Jorge: Flare out.

Jorge throws a flare into the darkness, illuminating the corridor and revealing a mob of hostile infantry blocking the way

Y/N: Take them down!

Jorge, Y/N, and Six clear the room of Covenant, and head down the corridor into another large room housing computer servers.

Jorge: There's more. Flush 'em out, I've got you covered.

Y/N: Copy.

Y/N and Six moved out and take care of the Grunts, this leaves two Zealots as Six was about to open fire when Y/N moved his hand to stop her.

Y/N: Wait, these guys are mine.

The Zealots activated their energy swords as Y/N drops his gun and cracks his knuckles and while walking towards them.

Zealot: Oh, you are approaching us?

Zealot 2: He's got some arrogance if he thinks he can take us out to protect his friend.

Y/N: Friend? Me? You idiot. I don't consider her a friend yet. I'm doing this because I hate weaklings who mistakenly think they're strong. (cracks his neck) They make me sick. 

Zealot 2: Are you mockong us?! 

Zealot: Then die!

The two zealots rushed at him. One zealot went to stab Y/N, but he ducked and punched it at the face, as the Elite falls down on the floor while knocked out.

The zealot and two Spartans were left in shock.

Y/N: Didn't I tell you? No matter what rank you are, you're still weak.

The zealot roar as the Elite charging toward Y/n and point plasma rifle at him. But when the Elite blinked, it saw he wasn't here before it below to see Y/N as he did a cartwheel backflip kick on its chin which made the Elite cough its blood.

Zealot 1: RAGHH!!! (spit bloods and looks at Y/N)

Y/N looked at the Elite unamusmeant, not even trying to use his full strength because it proved his point that the Elite was weaker than him.

Then behind Y/N is the other Elite as he roar at him and grabs him a hug which is he holding a sticky plasma grenade which is it start charging in a few second before blow up.

Zealot 2: DIE DEMON!! FOR THE GREAT JOURNEY!!

Y/N used his eblow to hitting its face, making it loose its grip before Y/N tossed the Elite that has the sticky plsama grenade over to the other Elite.

BOOOM!!!

Guts and splash blood of Elites blow up to pieces leave nothing but armor shred.

Y/N: (taps his coms) Noble Seven to Noble One, area is clear of all hostiles.

Carter: (COM) Roger that. Regroup back in the control room

Y/N: Copy.

Y/N walked back to Jorge and Six, who were still staring at him in complete shocks

Jorge: That was something.

Six: He took them down like he was a Spartan.

Jorge: Yeah, only difference is his movements like inhuman.

Six: (mutters) Aren't we all...?

Jorge and Six followed Y/N back to the control room. Kat pulls an access panel off the wall.

Carter: How long?

Kat: Question of my life. If the question is when will this station be back online, two weeks, earliest.

Onyx: This is plasma damage. All major uplink components are fried.

Carter: Two weeks is too long.

Onyx: Which is why Kay's splicing into the main overland bundle to get us a direct line to Colonel Holland.

Kat:... You two are in my light.

Carter: (to Jorge) Find out what she knows.

Jorge taps the civilian girl's shoulder, but she shoves his hand off. Emile chuckles.

Jorge: What's your name? Do you live around here?

Jorge takes his helmet off.

Jorge: A nevem Jorge. ( My name's Jorge.)

Sára: Sára.

Jorge: Sára... Szép határozott név. (A nice, strong name.) Your accent sounds familiar. Sopron?

Sára: Tengeri. (By the sea.)

Jorge looks at the body.

Jorge: Friend of yours?

Sára: Father.

Jorge: Sajnálom. I'm sorry.

Sára: Why would you be?

Emile: (to Six and Y/N) Big man forgets what he is sometimes.

Onyx: (to Emile) She just lost her father.

Jorge; (to Carter) She needs a full psychiatric workup.

Emile: She's not the only one...

Y/N: Back off, Skull-Face.

Carter: All of you, lock it up. Get her on her feet...the body stays.

Jorge: Thank you, sir.

Jorge walks by Emile and glares at him, then helps Sára get on her feet.

Kat: Signal! It's patchy, but it's there.

Carter: I'll take it.

Kat: Best not touch anything. You wouldn't want to ground this place.

Onyx: You're not funny Kat.

Carter: You mind staying Onyx? Now's a good time as any for your report to the Colonel.

Onyx: Yes sir. 

Noble Team, with the exception of their leader and Onyx, leaves the room. Holland's image appears on the screen.

Holland: (COM) ...I'm barely getting you. What's your situation, over?

Carter: Colonel, this is Noble One. And Agent Onyx. There are no rebels.

Onyx: The Covenant are on Reach. Acknowledge, sir?

Holland: (COM) Come again, Agent? Did you say Covenant?

Carter: Affirmative. It's the Winter Contingency.

Holland: (COM) ...May God help us all.

Y/N was seen staring at Onyx before leaving with the others.

Chapter 6 ended.

A good chapter to complete. If you have some ideas for the next one, let me know at the comments below. Peace out and enjoy.
