A low sigh escaped Vick as he laid his head back onto the cement wall of the destroyed bunker he and a few random Marines had taken shelter in after the enemy began bombing their outpost. The silence nearly brought Vick and the others to sheer madness. He looked around with tired eyes to see that the others weren't looking to hot either. Sleep had become rare in the past few days thanks to the Covenants constant attacks on their outpost and had left many scattered around its brutalized remains. Ammo, food and medical supplies were also becoming scarce thanks to a well placed strike on their main compound that contained such supplies. In total twenty Marines remained in the outpost, five were with him in this bunker while the rest were scattered somewhere else. If that didn't sound shitty enough, he had also been separated with the remaining members of his team. After a day of trudging and ducking into cover he had stumbled onto this outpost. He thought it'd be easier then the frontlines, but he quickly learned there was no frontline anymore as a wave of Covenant forces assaulted them. Its been like that for days now and the remaining UNSC Marines of outpost Charlie were beginning to break. 

He scoffed and lowered his head with a dry chuckle. [color=a36209]"Great first deployment,"[/color] he mumbled while shaking his head. After a few more minutes of dead silence the radio that was set up in the bunker came to life and was able to transmit Vick and his fellow Marines froze and stared at the radio with shock before one of them, Sam if Vick could remember correctly, rushed towards it and began to mess with it to clear up the transmission. After a few frustrated grunts several voice sprang up from the radio and a large smile found its way onto the Marines face. 

[color=00aeef]"Holy shit, more people! Ha!" [/color]Sam cackled as he cleared his throat and began to respond. [color=00aeef]"This is Sargent Sam Peters of Bravo team 1-4 with the UNSC Marines, if any UNSC personnel can hear me we are located at outpost Charlie, north of-"[/color] he was cut off as a Marine near a caved in wall received a plasma shot to the head. He collapsed under his weight and as he crashed into the ground all hell broke loose. An eruption of gun and plasma fire filled the sky and distant screams echoed over the field. Vick scrambled to his feet with his rifle in hand and dived towards the same caved in wall the Marine had died next to. 

[color=a36209]"Fuck!" [/color]he shouted with frustration as he peek out of his cover to return fire with the oncoming Covenant forces. As he fired burst rounds and began to identify the threats. [color=a36209]"We got Grunts and fucking Brutes closing in, light those bastards up!"[/color] he roared over the gunfire before continuing his own assault. Sam grunted and went back to the radio. 

[color=00aeef]"We are under attack by Covenant forces and can use assistance from any near by UNSC personnel! I'm marking our outpost with a distress signal, be advised Covenant forces are south of our position so watch where you come in fro- ARGH!"[/color] he howled in pain as a needler round buried its self into his back. He fell to his knees, but before he crashed to the ground he set the distress signal and grunted before letting his weight take over. Vick watched as Sam fell and gritted his teeth in anger.

[color=a36209]"Damn it!" [/color]he screamed before popping back out of his cover to empty his entire magazine in the enemies direction. He went to reload and found only a few magazines remained. Hopefully back up will arrive.
