[color=00aeef]“Am I truly the only one that wishes to play this humorous game?”[/color] asked Andromedai while she looked at her squad, waiting for a reply that never really came. It was clear to see that her squad was no longer in the mood for card games after what just happened. [color=00aeef]“Very well then.”[/color] the hunter stood up and carefully made her way off of the couch before walking over to a seat on the right hand side of the ship and sitting down. The seat leaned back quite a bit as the lights dimmed even more. Moving her head to the right, she watched as the world outside passed by her. [color=00aeef]“Orion, please wake me up when we are about to arrive.” [/color]There was a pause before Nova interrupted them [color=ed1c24]“I am picking up movement very close to us, unsure if…[/color]” Nova never managed to finish her sentence before the ship jolted violently throwing off the Gyro-stabilizer. [color=ed1c24]“Son of a bitch we are hit, I thought this ship had stealth capabilities, it does have stealth capabilities! I am going to try and bring us down and get you into the forest without getting…”[/color] The side door of the shuttle blew off with a deafening sound followed by the roaring wind outside of the craft.

The concussion blast was so powerful that it threw Andromedai against the ceiling so hard that it knocked her out cold then sucked her out the side door in a blur of motion. [color=ed1c24]“EVERYONE OUT!"[/color] yelled Nova into her Com before the ejection seat could be seen igniting followed by a low roar as it shot far into the sky above. Andromedai was lying in the snow when she finely came to, the soft blue evening sky above her. At first, Andromedai was worried she was paralyzed or severely injured but thankfully her Ghost Orion appeared in front of her face, hovering a less than a foot away from her face. [color=fff200]“Andromedai? I did a medical scan and you are in better shape than I thought you were going to be in. Thankfully you only broke both of your arms and I can tend to those immediately, oh this is going to hurt quite a bit.”[/color] Andromedai opened her mouth to speak but was quickly cut short from the pain she was experiencing. Her Ghost Orion had immediately gone to work with healing the broken bones in her arms, she could hear them pop back into place causing a wave of intense pain to run through her whole body like an electrical shock.

[color=fff200]“All done, get on your feet Andromedai, we have House of Blight Fallen moving in on us.”[/color] Andromedai sat up and pushed through the pain before finely making it to her feet. [color=fff200]"The pain should pass very shortly." [/color]said Orion before Andromedai noticed the ship had crashed only five feet away from her. [color=00aeef]"Shit, that would have been the end of me..."[/color] said Andromedai, there was blood around her but no wounds on her body. [color=00aeef]"Orion, is there something you want to tell me?"[/color] Orion spun around Andromedai a couple of times before speaking [color=fff200]"Later but we have...in front of you!"[/color] A few rounds flew past Andromedai almost hitting her in the head. Quickly, she took cover behind the crashed shuttle and noticed that Nova had ejected, safely getting away. [color=fff200]"I count six Fallen troopers, just scouts but their aim is much better than I was expecting."[/color] A few more rounds flew past the shuttle and went off into the distance before exploding in small pops of blue light and sparks. [color=fff200]"Special ammunition as well, just keep your head down and I will report targets to you via your com."[/color] Orion vanished leaving Andromedai alone by herself in the snow, wondering where her squad was. [color=fff200]"Two are trying to flank from the right side Andromedai, take them down."[/color] said Orion. 

Andromedai quickly but carefully moved to the right side of the ship and took aim with her primary weapon, the shots thankfully were passing through a silencer so they made very little noise. The rounds hit the Fallen but they kept heading towards her. More shots were taken but they merely bounced off the armor of the Fallen. They were now close enough to engage in melee combat. Andromedai was using her fists at first until one of the House of Blight fallen scouts stabbed her in her left shoulder, causing her to yell out in pain due to the super heated blade that went so deep it scraped across bone. Andromedai hit the fallen as hard as she possibly could in the face with the butt of her weapon causing the Fallen to fall back before being shot in the face multiple times. The other Fallen tried to same move with its knife but Andromedai was quickly to shove her sniper rifle into the Fallens face and and fire. The Fallens head exploded before the body fell to the ground and clawed at the snow for a couple of seconds before becoming still. 

There were four more and being already wounded was going to make things interesting. Leaning to the left side of the ship she noticed that the four other scouts were gone. [color=fff200]"No contacts, as if they vanished."[/color] said Orion before reappearing and floating back down to Andromedai to inspect the injury. [color=fff200]"The knife you were stabbed with is super heated with small barbs to inflect as much pain as possible."I can heal the wound in a couple of moments but as of now you are going to have to fight through the pain. There is a snow storm moving in and it is going to interfere with my sensors, we need to find the rest of the squad before taking shelter."[/color] Andromedai glanced at her shoulder and noticed that she could see bone. It did not hurt, was the strange thing, there was no pain as of now. [color=00aeef]"There is no pain Orion, just this injury..."[/color]she motioned at it. Orions light flashed brightly a couple of times before he spoke. [color=fff200]"You are not in shock and are currently in great condition besides your shoulder."[/color] Orion flew up above Andromedai and looked around before speaking once more. [color=fff200]"We need to move, the core inside of the ship can be overloaded to cause a massive explosion that will draw all allies and hostiles in the area to our location. 

In your condition we should wait until we are quite a distance away and it can be used as a distraction giving us time to evacuate the area."[/color] Andromedai nodded her head but felt as if she was being watched. [color=00aeef]"Send a message on all friendly frequencies, tell them where I am and I need assistance immediately or they are going to loose their squad leader."[/color] Orion agreed then sent the message to everyone in the squad, wherever they were.
