(i didn't get a response, so im taking it as yes to post my intro)

Henry ran as the device was being set up. He had 3 chips with him, 1 meant for Indigo leader, the other 2 for the others Cortana said would be needed to save reach. The 3 chips, each one designed for one spartan, were ready. "All ready sir, is it time" he said, referring to the time warp. He had his own specialized Combat suit on. Cortana came online "sorry i cant go with you, but John needs me here to help him fight the covenant back, in case you don't succeed". "Understood" Falen responded. "it was time" he said to himself

((Yeah, sorry for the misunderstanding. I had a concert last night. So while you posted this, I was playing for an audience. We'll figure out a way to work this into the intro post though. Don't worry about it.))

((alright, well i figured you might want to have at least some scene before we went back in time, also, i wish your band luck ^.^))

((lol. high school band. we had a concert, not a gig. just to clarify. but thanks anyway. and yes, i did have a scene before the time jump. which is majorly why i might have a fun time working more details in it. yay!!!))

((:D))((Who needs OOC anyways XD))

((Yeah, something like that. I'll post either later today or tommorow.))

((Roger))

John watched as the finishing touches to the time machine were being made. Only one welder was still working at making one piece of the machine stable. "Finished, sir." He said to Letterman as he left the room. He turned to Joshua Falen, one of the scientists working with him. "I want you to run a diagnostics test on it. Make sure it's stable and readily operational." Joshua nodded and left the room. Letterman followed him out and to a room that had a large window viewing that machine. After a few minutes, Joshua turned to Letterman and said, "Everything checks out sir."
"I want this operation to begin immediately. Let's go." As Letterman walked back to the machine, Joshua turned to an assisstant scientist that was to stay here and start up the machiene for the three traveling. "Start her up as soon as my brother gets with us." Joshua then found his way to the machine as well.
Henry Falen then entered the room. "Do you have the chips?" Letterman asked him. Joshua nodded toward his older brother, acknowledging that he was ready to start this very risky operation.

"Are you ready to begin" he asked them, sliding the chips into a secure container. They were about to make, and rewrite, history. THe time had come. He braced for space/time warp.

Letterman:

"Let's do this." Letterman said, as the scientist in the other room started up the machine. It worked much like a gravity lift, lifting the user up, but instead of stopping at the roof, it sent the user through a teleporter that was also sending the person through time. The Teleporter piece was set for Reach, days before the covenent would begin to arrive.
Letterman stepped into it first, followed quickly by the scientists. And was thrown violently into something much like a memory. He was flung into a chair in his Reach office. Letterman was one of the few lucky people to not be on Reach the day it was attacked. He looked at his calender. He was scheduled to leave on a flight going to Earth for that day, he remembered. Just then, his assistant, Corporal Peter Wright walked in. "Sir," Wright began, "Your flight leaves in an hour, we better get going." Tears almost entered Letterman's eyes. Wright was a good man, and wasn't allowed on the flight. Letterman stood from his chair and crossed the room. "It's good to see you Corporal." He said as he shook Wright's hand, hard. "Tell the flight crew... Tell them to cancel the flight. I'm staying here. I have more... More important matters to attend to."

J. Falen:

Joshua followed as John went though the portal. Joshua came to think of it as The Wormhole, because it was sending them through time and space. He landed violently on a dirt road. He began to sit up when a warthog nearly ran him over. The warthog swerved aside and just barely missed him. "What are you doing in the middle of the road Private?!" Joshua looked up to the driver to see that the warthog carried two Spartans. One driving, the other on the gun. Private? Falen asked himself. He looked down to see that he wore the casual uniform of a Private. Meant more for relaxing on base than being out on a patrol. "I'm lost," Joshua said. Which wasn't a total lie. "Could you point me in the direction of the Actual base?" he asked. The driver looked back to the gunner, probably wondering how the man was lost at all. "We can take you there. Hop in." The driver finally responded. Joshua hopped in, awestruck. Never, never in his lifetime had he seen a Spartan, in their full glory. He couldn't help but stare at the armor of the spartan, dumbfounded at the simplicity of it. The models he had seen were much more advanced than what he's worked with.

((For those that may be interested in playing, this is not an RP where I expect full paragraphs. The current length is only to get us started off.))

((I figured, also, you might wanna fix the part where it says 3 ONI personell are open.....lol

"So exactly what are you guys doing in the middle of the road. Was it the rebels, because we have been having some trouble with them." Alex asked. From what he has said, it was clear that they didn't encounter covenant yet. The names Alex, Spartan Indigo leader" he said, approaching Actual Base.


(usually i do longer posts, but i got nothing to expand on yet)

((Are you putting Henry with Joshua?))

J. Falen:

Joshua had to lie quickly. If somehow word got out that he wasn't from this time, at his current age, the whole operation would go down. "Well, Alex, I'm not really a private. I'm a scientist. I got these clothes because they couldn't find anything for me at the time." That was safe enough, wasn't it? Joshua decided to be as honestly safe as possible. "I was actually getting some materials for a project I'm working on. Looks like either Intel lied, or I read it wrong. Nothing I need here. But also I was supposed to get material from the Actual base. That's why I'm headed there."

(Indeed, they were not on reach (at least im preatty sure) at all during the time anywhere near the moment of the attack, so unlike Lettermen, who (i htink anyway) just took over his body, THey would be flung to another spot, so they would most likely be flung together.)

Henry started working already to the plan they had come up with. "Well thats odd, im getting some sort of abnormality in tower 3." he told them all. "That isnt good, Tower 3 is important, the Rebels might have taken it." he suggested. Phase one was in place.

Alex:

"Understood, il go with my team to check it out" he said as they approached Actual Base. Little did any of them know what was...oh wait, yes, 3 people know. lol.

Letterman:
Letterman remembered his duties here on Reach fairly quickly. He was at an exceptional running status within minutes. Wright seemed concerned though. He canceled his flight and was even better at his job all of a sudden. Something didn't quite add up in Wright's mind. "Are you okay, sir?" He asked Letterman. "Never better Corporal." Letterman responded. "Give me a recap on all the Actual team's current objectives." Wright pulled out his holographic notepad. It kept track of all the things going on on the base at any given moment. "Holli and Noble do not have anything currently, but Indigo just input a request to go survey tower three, out west of here. Approve, sir?" Letterman paused as he remembered Alex and his men. "That will be all, Corporal. Dismissed." Wright shook his head as the General gave his customary dismissal of the Corporal when he asked to do his job. Wright saluted, turned on his heel and left. Letterman returned the salute and sat back behind his desk. "Spartan 007, do you copy? Over." He spoke into his desk display to get the Spartans attention.

Alex put on his intercom. "i read you over" he said as Henry started taking pictures from the falcon by tower 3. "Yes, i understand. Henry then started phase 2. "Um guys, i see covenant...fighting covenant..." he pointed out as they encircled tower 3, pointing out a skirmisher.

(sorry for short post, i don't got that much time right now)

((Nah, it's alright. So long as it isn't and empth sentence, I'm fine.))

Letterman:
"Spartan, repeat that last. Did you say Covenent? On Reach?" Letterman put on a fake tone. He already knew the convenent would be here. But he couldn't let his men know that. "Alex, get your team out to that tower immediately. I want you to put them down. Show them Reach does not welcome them. Take Holli Actual with you. I'm sending them their orders now." Letterman shut down the line and pulled up Holli Actual's squad leader. The spartan came into view and said, "I know sir. I just heard. I'm assembling my team now." Letterman nodded and shut down that comm as well. He wasn't staying behind on this one. He grabbed his portable comm and got the Falen brothers. They had been given comms when they entered the base. "Henry, Joshua. I want you at the landing pad, ASAP. We're overseeing this mission personally."

J. Falen:
Joshua was on his way to find Henry again when his comm blinked. Letterman wanted them at the landing pad. Mission? Joshua obviously wasn't quite up to date. "Sir, I'm hitching a ride with Holli Actual 5 and 6. They're taking a Hog." Joshua said as he hopped into the Warthog. Holli 5 handed him a silenced SMG and a couple of magazines. "We're dropping you off near the gaurd post. Indigo 6 should be waiting for you there." Holli 5 told Joshua. Joshua nodded as the Warthog zoomed off towards Tower 3.

Varoks mission was originally a simple one. Sneak into the human tower, neutralize all defences, and allow for the covenant to get a foothold quiteley. But all that went out the window when they were spotted by a human in the distance. Varok activated his cloak and began to walk back into the tower. He was met by two holograms of soldiers who hey had assasinated. Walking past them he opened up a door and saw his team of five grunts two skirmishers three jackals and his hunter bodyguards. "We have to kick this into overdrive! We've been deteced and things aren't looking good! Set this place with as many explosives as possible and get to the cloaks phantom immediately!" he ordered his soldiers. They all dropped there slow paced relaxed looks and began to frantically get to work. In about a minute or two the orders were done and they all began to head up a stair case on the side of the building that the humans could see until they got to the roof. The phantom was soon uncloaked and the jackals took up sniping positions alongside Varok and fired at the warthog with covenant snipers and needle rifles. After depleting most of there ammo on the warthog and trying to either hit the driver, wheels, or anything on the warthog they retreated to the phantom but wee stopped by a single unngoy saying " but there only one small group, we big group! We handle small group. We crush small group!" which had changed most of there minds and varok gave the command to hold the roof until the humans got near them urn they blow it up and escape. The hunters now joined in on the warthog assault and even the grunts tried firing before retreating to the phantom for moe ammo.

J. Falen:
As soon as they entered the base, the Warthog came under fire. A sniper nailed on of the tires, flipping the Warthog before they reached their destination of the gaurd post. Joshua was flung from the passenger seat and landed behind a bush. The SMG Holli 5 handed him was by the flipped Warthog, the two Spartans also taking cover. "Spartan!" Joshua yelled, as the Spartans shot at the roof under the uncloaked Phantom. Holli 6 looked over and Joshua motioned to the SMG. The Spartan nodded and took cover again. After a few moments, Holli 6 snatched the SMG and dashed to Joshua. "Thank you." Joshua told the Spartan. The Spartan replied by saying, "Dash for the post, from cover to cover. 5 and I will give you cover." Joshua looked at him as if he were crazy. He was a scientist. Not a marine. And he expected him to get to the gaurd post? "GO GO GO!" Joshua was startled into action as he booked it for a good sized rock. He hid behind it until he was sure 5 and 6 had the covenent teams attention and moved again, this time making it all the way to the gaurd post.

Indigo deployed to the tower. "6, 5, take down the phantoms" he told them, pointing to a mac cannon. "4, 2, get the station up. Everyone, else, with me." he said, as they went into the station after the covenant. As they entered, they put on night vision, and help up their guns high. "Alright team, lets move" he said over com.

Soon after, the phantom was obliterated. Nothing was left. 5 and 6 looked at each other and said "7 to 4, im winning" 6 said. "Not for long" 5 told him, looking at the mass grunts approaching.

2 and 4 got to work. "Minimal damage, piece of cake" 4 said. They got past the door and sealed it behind them, preventing anyone from following them.


(Lets the battle begin!)

J. Falen:
Joshua rushed into the gaurd post to find that there was 2 Spartans there, not one. He watched the two take down a phantom with the MAC Cannon controls. Joshua clutched his SMG and sat down, his back against a wall where he was safe from sight. He closed his eyes tight and caught his breath. When he calmed down enough to take in his surrounding, Joshua peeked around a corner. A hoard of Grunts were making their way towards the gaurd post. He took aim and waited until the first was close enough to take a shot. Firing in bursts, Joshua took down at least 4 grunts, the Spartans seemed to have handled the rest.

Henry pointed out a huge blast door the covenant sealed. "Hold on, il get it open" he told them. He hacked through it, and opened the door. Then he remembered somethign. "Wait, stay back!" he yelled as Alex and Indigo 3 stopped. 5 sticky grenades that had been thrown by a few grunts almost killed 3 and took down 1s (Alex) shields. There, Spartan death one adverted. Things were already getting better.

Alex sighed. The scientist made a good call. He then ran in with 3 and the scientist, moving deeper into the structure.

4 connected some wires and equipment. "Up and running, broadcast the signal now 2" she told him.


(to be clear, 5 and 4 are girls)

((Sorry about that. I've been waiting for TheDoombringer to make a post.))

Mazarin:
Frank Mazarin shouted out to his comrades. "Holli 3 and 5! Give Indigo some cover! 2, 4, and 6, on me!" Holli 1, Mazarin, ordered his Actual team around. He talked to the Spartans with him. "Alright, set up a perimeter. 2 and 6, go cover the other entrance. 4, stay with me. The covenant are not to be admitted to this party."

Holli 3 and 5 were assigned to do what Indigo leader asked of them. If he said to protect some scientist, so be it.

5 kept blasting them down. 6 looked at her and said "Those phantoms only count as one kill". "To hell with that, they count for as many people in them" She responded. "Alice...then you would have a thousand kills already." He looked at her. "Fine, but they count as 3. it is an Air vehicle." "fine".

2 started broadcasting. "ATTENTION ALL UNSC FORCES, THE COVENANT ARE ON REACH, I REPEAT, THE COVENANT ARE ON REACH". He made the broadcast. UNSC chatter began to spread like wildfire. Forces alarmed, forces mobilizing, some people in dis belief. They then got a radio message from a marine trooper squad. "This is (STATIC), we have been engaged by covenant, i repeat, the covenant are on reach"

1 and 3 looked at each other. "CLEAR THE ROOM" he ordered, they all charged in, Alex sporting a DMR, 3 a shotgun. They soon engaged and killed the covenant grunts. There were 2 elites too.

Henry looked at the Elites. "STAND CLEAR" he told them, taking out a Rocket Launcher he took with him, shooting at the Elites. Elites may be strong, but they fell quickly to the might of a rocket launcher.
