The vent looked like a never-ending black hole that I did not want to go in. I knew I should, but I couldn't. So I started walking deeper into the base, in hopes of finding another vent and suprise the enemy. I came to a corner and heard a loud clanging, I peeked around the corner and saw him, but he saw me. I turned back and laid down on the floor, then in one swift motion I rolled out and sprayed a few shells that hit, air, he was gone.
I stood up and walked to the new vent. I decided to take my chances that he had not gone down that way. I ducked my head as I slid down the shaft. After a short while I came to a stop. My night vision was blinding me so I took out the contacts. The room was full of weapons and computers. I was shocked to see the weapons were Covenant.
-Gary's Memory, A Daydream-
"Hey Dad! How much longer, and don't burn my burger!"
"Gary, will you stop it, I'm a chef do you think I would burn anything?"
"Yes." He laughed Ever since mom left dad had to take care of me. It wasn't so bad, I could stay out late and he made good food. Plus I met this cool guy, Rick; his dad is in the Military and usually brings back some cool stuff. When I first met Rick he had a depleted Plasma Pistol, and was playing with pretend Covenant. "Do you know they could find you if you keep killing them?" I scared him into giving me the pistol.
Later in the month I was awaken by cries from Marines. "COVENANT, WARN THE COMMAND SHIP THEY FOUND ALPHA COLONY!" They killed everyone except Rick and me. We managed to hide from them. After that I moved to Earth, he followed me.
-Gary, Mysterious Room-
I snapped out of the dream. I could never join the Military to get back at the Covenant, I was a coward. I shook it off and went to one of the computers. There was a file open. It looked like a transmission

Killing the first one was easy; the second will die soon. He is coming; I will be back soon.
I had no idea what it meant other than the killer was talking to someone on the outside, probably getting orders from them. Why me what did I do to anyone? Suddenly the outside party sent a message
Bravo X24 Class Gamma
When you get this, hopefully soon do not kill the second if he evaded you thus far he could be useful.
My mind was spinning, I decided to type back to this person, I clicked New Message and started typing
Bravo X25 Class Beta
Request live visual communication.
I hoped they would respond positively.

Roger. Activate your camera.
I looked around and found the camera, after turning it on, I saw the face of an old military man. "What the fuck? Where is Eric!"
"Eric took a vacation, left me in charge." I tried to sound bold like I had done this before. "And were gonna do things my way from now on."
"I talked to Eric a few hours ago" His eyes widened, as he seemed to realize something. "You're the second one." I raised my rifle and shot the camera.
"I'm sorry were having technical difficulties." I started shooting all the computers in the room. I didn't know who 'Eric' was but he had my answers. I then noticed a door I had not seen before. I went to it and opened it. It was a vast hanger with only one occupant at the far end. A Longsword. "Holy shit!" Was the only thing I could say. I heard someone enter the room I had just left.
"NO! THAT ASSHOLE WAS IN HERE!" I ran to the Longsword and hid in it. I watched from the ship as he approached through the hanger and went around the Longsword.
"Shit he's coming in here" I whispered as I thought what I could do. Readying for an attack, I aimed my rifle at the opening of the Longswords entrance. He came into view and I opened fire on him. Blood fell on the floor of the hanger. I had hit him in the stomach. I climbed out of the Longsword and saw him running to the room I had destroyed, I shot at him, I missed.
I chased after him and when I got to the room a trail of blood went up on of the vents, so I decided to go up a different one. After making it to the top, I climbed out, out in some new contacts, and went in the direction of where the other vent would come out. I turned the corner and my nightvision saw a M16 barrel coming out of the room opposite the vent. A small pool of blood crept from the room. I smiled and attached the scope to the top of my rifle and aimed at him.
"HEY!" Was the only thing I needed to say for his attention. He came out and turned to shoot at me, his eye in his scope, I shot. My bullet went straight through his scope and eye burying itself in my enemy's brain. He fell over and I stood there for a second then went to the elevator. I don't know why but I left my M16 where I had last used it.
The elevator ride up was long and drawn out but when I got to the top, I was surrounded by military personnel carrying MA5B's and MA7B's. They all pointed their weapons at me as I simply raised my hands, I was later taken to a courtroom where I told my story.
