Rose grunts as a single plasma shot zips it's way past her shoulder, and opens fire at the jackal who did it. The jackal quickly succumbs to the bullets. As a trio more grunts enter the area, and Rose thinks that she'd have to retreat, she hears the all-to-familiar sound of a warthog passing through intersection. The gunner of the vehicle immediately reacted to the presence of the hostile Covenant in the area. A second after the gunner brings his gun to bear, the covenant all flopped onto the ground, dead. Once the hostiles were dead, Rose gave a wave to the warthog as thanks, and it drove off. "Right, time to find my squad." She clicked on the COM. "My area is secure, if you men wanna regroup here. Or should I come to you guys?" She transmitted a marker onto her squadmate's HUDs to where her location was, then hopped down from the balcony and sprinted over to the center of the intersection, where there was a lot of cover. She then began to sweep the area for any more hostiles.
