[06:00H-UST] "This is First Lieutenant James Madison of the three-hundred and thirteenth infantry division upon the planet Illios, we have come under heavy fire from an unknown hostile. Any attempt to interfere with their forces leads to a swift and merciless reaction, which has decimated a large number of our troops. They are ..." at this time, a loud explosion can be heard followed by panicked yelling and heavy plasma fire in the background, the message would then fall silent and repeat itself. Within a large, dimly lit, circular room, twenty four men and women sat around a massive holographic projector, that showed a detailed image of the Erathellian cluster, giving off a soft azure blue that filled the base of the room. One of these figures would stand, wearing a black, snug fitting suit that showed his full rank and position within the UNSC. "The message remains the same, we have heard it at least five dozen times now and not even our systems A.I. could pick up anything else in the audio. We know that the system is under attack, we know that it is something hostile, so we need to act immediately. We cannot afford to loose the Erathellian Cluster or any of our settlements inside of it. We all know why this is, the Forerunner planet, the facilities, the research data, the technology, need I go on? The longer we wait, the higher the chance that we will loose everything." The man spoke in a cold, stern voice that said a lot about his personality.

A woman on the other side of the room stood up, wearing the same type of outfit that showed rank and position, but hers was for the ONI. "Then what would you have us do? gather troops and send them blindly into the fray without any idea of what lies at the other end of the spectrum? You do realize that if we go with your plan, you will be responsible for whatever happens, correct? I will not throw away lives, even more so that of Spartans. I will not throw them at an unknown enemy of unknown size and strength. Consider your actions and think about what could happen before you vow to act so carelessly." The original man leaned forward, placing his hands on the black metal surface in front of him where he had a glass of water that glowed lightly from the holographic projector. "How is this any different from what we have faced before? The truth is that there is no difference, this is something we do everyday. Do we not send our forces into almost every battle not knowing what they will be up against? We are wasting precious time discussing this, an action must be taken, as I said before."

Once more, the woman on the other side of the massive room spoke, waving her hand slightly in front of her in an agitated manner to silence the chatter that had now been awoken. "The votes are in, and it appears that councilor Colists and his plan are to be put into action immediately. I would like to state, however, that I am against this action until we have a more solid plan, though that input does not matter in the slightest at this point. With that being said and done, I am issuing orders for the Infinity Class Supercarrier Solares to prepare. I have informed a number of ONI operatives to inform the Spartans that we have picked of their assignment. The ship and all of its crew and equipment will be ready to depart in exactly six hours, the meetings is adjourned." She ran her fingers through her short black hair with a sigh as everyone departed the room, leaving her to look over the massive holographic image of the Infinity class Supercarrier Solares that now shown in the middle of the room.

As Councilor Colists left the large room, brushing past other members of the council, he was informed upon his data-pad that the orders to mobilize had already been sent out. That was how the forces of the UNSC and ONI worked, there was no time for error or messing around. For now though, the thought of how his plan had won the council wide vote still swam in his head. He was sure he was going to loose to Alyn from the ONI when the vote started, but to his great surprise, his plan of action was preferred. Stopping to look out one of the large view ports, he could see the Infinity Class Supercarrier Solares in the distance, the impressive space craft sat motionless, docked in multiple areas of the space-station. Supplies, equipment, vehicles, ships, weapons, ammunition, and everything else that would be needed for the mission was now being loaded, and soon they would depart on their assignment. He of course would not be joining them in person, but would be in direct contact with the Captain of the Solares, Nicholas Young and the ships A.I. Nova. For now, the only choice he had was to wait untill they reported anything back to him.

Hello and thank you for your interest in, Halo - The Hyperion Incursion. This is a high-casual to low-advanced RP. The story takes place after Halo 4 and will branch into Halo 5, much later in the RP.

Deep from within the Erathellian Cluster of the Milky Way, an encrypted emergency distress signal is being sent across all secure ONI and UNSC receivers. The message explains that an unknown force has attacked the Hyperion solar system, effectively decimating any opposition that tries to interfere. The message is cut short by what is apparently an explosion and panicked shouting in the background. The message then restarts itself and has been playing in a continuous loop for the last three days. Both leaders of the UNSC and ONI had spent those three days discussing and weighing their options, planing their next move with great caution and care.

The Hyperion Solar System holds a large number of highly populated planets that contain important UNSC and ONI facilities. What is most important is the presence of a single Forerunner planet, who's purpose is still a mystery that is tirelessly being worked on. If it was not for the Forerunner planet, there was a chance that the solar system could have been left dark and empty, but now life and technology have flourished. It was decided upon that due to its exceedingly high importance and still unraveled mysteries, that the Infinity Class Supercarrier Solares would be sent to fully investigate and end any threat in the Erathellian Cluster.

The Solares will be loaded with every type of defensive and offensive ability that both the UNSC and ONI have to throw at those who threaten mankind and its allies. Among these will be a group of Spartan IV's, hand picked to accompany the Solares and her crew on its mission to the Hyperion Solares System. Digital messages have been sent out to each Spartan, hand delivered upon a data-pad by an ONI operative to ensure there were no mistakes or misunderstandings on anyone's end. We are these Spartan IV's and soon our assignment within the Erathellian cluster will begin.

As we venture into the Erathellian cluster and the story progresses, we will find ourselves faced with a number of challenges that we must overcome together. Enemies both old and new shall be encountered, many difficult battles shall be fought, our progress shall be hindered, unfortunate discoveries will be made, and all of our abilities will be put to the ultimate test. Not all will be action though, we will have some downtime to get to know each other and build upon our social relationships. The choices we all make will have an effect on how most of the RP plays out, so choose wisely and prepare yourselves for the Hyperion Incursion.

Name: Terry "Bear" McCormack

Age: 39

Sex: Male

Appearance without armor:
Terry towers over most Spartans, usually having a good few inches on them. Just by looking at him, you can tell he is immensely strong and his shaggy brown hair and bushy beard makes it obvious why he is nicknamed "Bear." He has a set of three scars running vertically down the left side of his face, one of which runs down the centre of his greyed-out eye. The other eye is a bright cerulean blue. He has a UNSC tattoo on his left shoulder, but in the banner he has "Spartans Never Die." A quote from the legendary Commander Carter. He has a muscular, stocky frame and is often relied on for his brute strength because of this.

Armor Style: MJOLNIR GEN 2- PATHFINDER VARIANT (Brown with gold accents)

Weapons: M739 LMG - The Answer variant
M41 Rocket Launcher
M6H2 Pistol

Equipment: Combat knife, 2 HE grenades, Armor Lock unit.

Personality: Terry is a friendly, cheerful ally who enjoys the company of his fellow Spartans. He is a courageous, maybe even reckless, warrior who is the first to volunteer for anything on the front-line. The Bear is often seen working out or doing heavy lifting around the base, helping out with most of the physical tasks. He charges ahead, preferring brute force over the more subtle tactics. However, he's not opposed to these either. He's great at making or being the distraction, setting up his allies to get behind enemy lines and go to work. His unwavering resilience and never give up attitude are his standout features, and they shine in the face of adversity.

The more desperate the fight gets, the harder Terry fights. He will never stop until he is made to. However, he cares deeply for his friends and allies. If a decision came down to his own life or the survival of his team, then Terry would gladly lay down his life to save theirs. He is pretty transparent about that, and everything else as well. He is a dependable soldier that you can rely on to push through.
