UNSC File#29145: Overwatch

~The Villian~

"Sir, where is Corporal Josh?" Jason asked walking onto the bridge. "He's asked for time off. Currently he should be planet side. But if you ask me, I think he's earned it." The Captain said. Jason looked at him as Hera appeared and a hologram of Installation 07 appeared.

"Shouldn't you go and get some R&R Sergeant?" Hera asked looking at him. The Spartan looked at the AI before looking away. Hera bit her lip and turned away as Jason turned to the door and began to leave.

"I can't imagine what you're going through Sergeant, but you need to keep your head in the game. We are not alone here. The Covenant could launch a suprise attack at any time." Charles said. Jason turned his head before nodding and left.

"I feel bad for him. To lose someone close. I've seen his file, even the one's ONI didn't want shown." He said gripping his hand into a fist.

"Sir, communications with Overwatch. It's from Commander Morrison, it's urgent." Hera said.

"Put him through." Charles said. "Hello? Captain?" A female voice asked. "Who is this? This is a secure channel." He demanded.

"Captain, it's Cadet Oxton. We need your help." Tracer said. "What's going on?" Charles asked.

"It's BlackWatch, they're attacking!" She said before gunfire followed close behind. Hera looked at the Captain as he sighed.

"One problem after another, Fireteam Zulu, you're up!" He said into the intercom. In the barracks, A female looked up, her eyes locking on with another before jumping out of bed as four people ran to the armory to suit up.

"What is it this time Timbrr?" A man asked. "I don't know Wuss, what about you Envy?" Timbrr asked.

"Pfft, don't ask me. Ask Mstatic over here." Envy said as a man in Spartan armor walked over.

"Kick the training wheels off kids, you know the music." He said as the rest readied up in full combat gear. Each one grabbing an MA5 rifle as they marched to the hangar bay.

"Zulu, your job is to assist Overwatch with anything they need. If the op goes south, you are to pull back. Understood?" The Sergeant Major said.

"Sir yes sir!" Zulu replied. Mstatic walked over to the sergeant and cleared his throat. "Sir, why are we helping these people? I thought if it was a planet based war, the UNSC is to not butt in?" He asked.

"Well Lieutenant, you have your orders." He said. "Yes sir Sergeant Knight!" Mstatic said before taking off to regroup with Zulu. As he walked up to the pelican housing his group, Envy sighed.

"I thought if it was a planet based war, we shouldn't intervene?" Wuss asked. "Can't get much past Wuss." Timbrr said with a smile. The man looked at her and shook his head.

"Heh, tell me again what you saw in him?" Envy asked. Wuss turned to him and punched his arm.

"Well he is a lovable idiot, but he's my lovable idiot." Timbrr replied smirking under her helmet. Envy laughed before glancing at their leader.

"So, what's the plan?" He asked. "We are to assist Overwatch with whatever is going on between them. I'm guessing a mole or something is dividing the two factions. They're already at war with each other Private." Mstatic said.

"So, who do we side with?" Wuss asked. "Well Staff Sergeant, we are only there to protect them." "And if we can't do that?" Timbrr asked.

"Then you know what to do Corporal." Mstatic said before entering the cockpit. "Know what to do'? What the hell does that mean?" Timbrr asked.

"Well, if you're getting shot at, you should know what to do." Envy said as the pelican left the hangar and made it's way to Earth. Wuss sat as he twiddled his thumbs, his breathing steady.
