All of a sudden, everything went quiet. Gonzo looked around at the carnage. Almost 30 Grunts, maybe more, as well as some Jackals and an Elite or two, lay scattered about the ground around the small band of Marines. It was finished. Somehow, they had all survived, and the battle had been won. They were tired, hungry, and short on ammo, but they were alive.
"Well... We made it. Let's find somewhere to rest for now. If anything else comes our way, we're screwed royally. Pack 'em up, and roll 'em out, Marines!" Gonzo hopped up into the Warthog next to Kelly and began to apply the biofoam to his wound. The material would prevent any more bleeding, which was important because the young private's face looked far too ashen for him to be in good condition.
-Sirus grinned as he saw all the dead bodies, luckily no-one from their squad had died. He let out a scream "Yeeeeehaaaa" that's one to humans and nil to the covenant." He laughed and and took his hands off the trigger for the chain gun. He looked back at PFC Kelly and said.."Hey how was the pistol? You can have your assualt rifle back take some of the ammo from the warthog" Sirus sat there waiting for the others.-
Mendoza stands on the back of the worthog, taking Petersen's position behind the M41 LAAG 50mm triple barrel machine gun.
"I've been better amigo ... I'll live, but AY! The burn! Those covie bastards are gunna pay for this one amigos."
Mendoza threw away his newly emptied plasma rifle and picked up an M19 SSM Jackhammer 102mm rockey system.
O'Conner sat quietly, waiting for the rest of the wounded to get into the jeep, contemplating what the plan of action would be. He eventually decided the riskiest course of action would be best, and spoke out loud,
"We need to get to the comman centre for the planet. Has anyone been statoined here before?"
"We don't know where here is," Gonzo replied. He had finished tending to Kelly, had tightened the splint on his leg, and was now checking his ammo. Two MA5B Assault Rifles, one belonging to Halloway, 8 magazines total, and 7 frags, as well as four well stocked Med-kits. Not bad. Not good, but not exactly bad.
- Sirus looked around and saw that everyone was on. "Yeah, everyone's on, lets move this thing outta here before they send more covenant. While we're driving people who wand to rest can. But if we are under attack I expect help! We got that clear?" Sirus said loudly now showing everyone that he really was a LT and not some wishy washy one. Sirus grinned and gave the thumbs up signal to..(whover is drving 😛) -
