Episode 3: Autumn (Preview)
Cold, dark, dank, and depressing. This was the place. This was where the Holy Spirit rebel base was located. “Why did they have to pick out the most unpleasant shit hole to put their goddamn base in?” exclaimed Evan, the team’s Sniper.
“Quiet, Spartan,” said Anne, the team leader. “We have a long day’s work ahead of us.” The Spartans stood their on a large cliff inside of a gigantic crevasse. Over the past few months, the Holy Spirit, a powerful rebellious force, has been working against the Shangheili/Human alliance, and the UNSC has been faced with the task of stopping it.
Evan kneeled down, took out his sniper rifle, and surveyed the area. “It looks pretty well guarded,” reported Evan. The building itself was like an enormous castle. It was obviously of Forerunner architecture, which means that the Holy Spirit took it over a long time ago. “A few Jackals on the sniper towers, some Elite chieftains guarding the front gates, and a couple of grunt camps.”
Jack, the team’s equipment expert, took out his rappel kit, rigged it up, and lowered everyone down before he climbed down himself. “Are we all here?” asked Jack. The rest of the Spartans’ status lights winked green. “Good. C’mon, it’s quite a distance to the base. My GPS reads about 13 kilometers of enemy camps, bloodthirsty Jackals, and giant crevasses. We better get started.”
