Commander Gallant: Alright men!

Colonel Melissa: Ahem!

Commander Gallant: Um…and one girl.

Colonel Melissa: Thank you.

Commander Gallant: Yes…anyway, it seems that Scout Troop Alpha has failed in their mission, and it's up to us to exterminate this area of Covenant slime.

Bob and Bill: Yeeeeehaaaaaah! We knew them boys couldn't do the jerb!

Commander Galant: Quite right! Now if they are still alive of some strange reason, we kill them! Is that fine with everyone?

Colonel Melissa: Yes sir!

Bob and Bill: Darn tootin!

(Elsewhere….)

Captain Zantar: Sally! I've spotted them, and they are completely unguarded.

Salar, Cole: [run up to Captain Zantar]

Salar: Captain! There are Spartans in the area!

Captain Zantar: Yes I am aware of that, and Sally has them on her sniper.

Sally: Will fire when ready captain!

Cole [looks over] Wait a minute…those aren't the Spartans we saw!

Captain Zantar: WHAT?!?! No matter, shoot them anyway Sally.

Sally: [aims sniper at group and fires a few shots]

Bob: [gets hit] Blargh!

Bill: [gets hit] Blech!

Commander Galant: Crap! We are under attack! Run for it Melissa!

(Both of them run into a nearby building)

Sally: They are out of range captain.

Captain Zantar: It matters not. They are week and we will take them out in no time.

Cole: What about the other Spartans? Are they any threat to us?

Captain Zantar: They will be taken out too. If they had to send another squad in to replace them then chances are they aren't worth it.

Salar: What do we do now captain?

Captain Zantar: Now…we wait.

(Switches to the building Gallant and Melissa are hiding in)

Commander Gallant: This completely ruins my plans! How is this possible?!?

Colonel Melissa: It must have been your ranting about killing Scout Troop Alpha sir.

Commander Gallant: ….oh shut up!

Colonel Melissa: My apologies sir.

Commander Galant: [sighs] don't worry about it; at least we don't have to deal with those stupid rednecks anymore.

Colonel Melissa: I think they were hill billies sir.

Commander Gallant: Whatever! So it seems I must change my plans for us to survive.

Colonel Melissa: May I suggest something sir?

Commander Gallant: I guess so. What is it?

Colonel Melissa: Well, they know where we are right? So why don't we just wait here until they come after us. Then we could surprise them!

Commander Gallant: Hmm…excellent plan! I'm glad to have you on my team Colonel!

Colonel Melissa: Thank you Commander, I try. So I guess that means we…

Commander Gallant: Yes, now…we wait.

(Elsewhere, at Scout Troop Alpha's hiding place)

Amber: Ok, so let's go over our options men. What do we have to help up beat the Covenants?

Garland: Hmm…well we have a Warthog!

Amber: Ok that's a good start! What else do we have?

Jackson: Other than that we have our weapons. Garland has his Battle Rifle, I have my SMG, and Lucas has Sniper Rifle.

Amber: Ok then, so that means you are on watch duty Private Lucas!

Lucas: Crap…this is gonna suck! [Walks off]

Jackson: Ok Amber, do you have like…a plan or something?

Amber: Well, our resources are limited, and going out in the open could get us killed if they are hiding. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Garland: Oh I have one! Pick me!

Amber: Ok, what is it Garland?

Garland: Ok…how about we get in the Warthog and shoot the crap out of stuff!!!!

Amber: Uuuuummm I don't think that would work, they could shoot one of our tires off and that would disrupt our driving.

Jackson: Hmm…

Amber: Do you have something suggested Jackson?

Jackson: Huh? Oh no it's nothing.

Amber: Come on, tell us! I think it's better than Garland's plan.

Garland: Heeey! [Says quietly] stupid Amber...not wanting to shoot stuff.

Jackson: Well, what if we just wait this out?

Amber: What do you mean?

Jackson: Well, Lucas has his sniper rifle, so that means he could pick them off if they come out right?

Amber: Yeah

Jackson: So if we just wait here, Lucas can be the only one at risk since he is on lookout! Therefore we would lose fewer lives.

Amber: Hey that might actually work!

Garland: My plan would've been better!

Jackson: Dude, don't suggest anymore ideas ok?

Garland: [sighs] fine.

Amber: Don't worry Garland; you get an A for trying.

Jackson: So we're going with me plan then?

Amber: Yep, I guess we just wait now.

Garland: Wait, what if they are doing the same thing we are? Yah know, just waiting.

Jackson: Oh come on, what are the odds of that happening?

Amber: I'd say about 1 in a million.

Garland: Still, I think we are gonna be here for a while.

Amber: Don't worry this will all be over in no time.
