Enigma: part 2

The campfire crackled as the chief and the marines sat by their pelican, waiting for the light of day. The chief calmly reviewed his squad's personnel files. He calmly scrolled through their latest psychology files of the 7 women and 9 men on his team. He calmly checked them all, trying to find the one person who could be responsible for tipping of the covenant about their latest attack on a tundra base camp.

The chief found it hard to believe that anyone would work with there own enemy, a friend working with the enemy against his own people.

"Done chief."

John stopped his search on his HUD when cortana started to talk.

"I've narrowed it down, chief."

"What is it?" John asked her.

" Of the 16 people on the team, sir, including recent battles, loss of friends, post tramatic stress..."

"It's what?"

"12, sir. 12 people."

John leaned back and sighed. This war had taken its toll on people, but would they try to get out to that extent? Death?

"Cortana, How many had access to the radio in the last 48 hours? Of that group?"

"10 Chief."

"How many could communicate with the covenant?"

"7"

"Who could delete the logs from the radio?

"5, sir."

"Name them all."

Johns HUD filled with a list of names to links of files. He looked up at their hideout. They were in front of an artificial cave, caused by a covenant mining operation, which they conveniently wiped out. The fire started to dwindle, and the marines climbed into their bed rolls.

"Cortana, are you sure whoever alerted them was from our team?"

"Yes, Chief, these are the only people who could have done it."

"The covenant could not have just seen us?"

"Not in that little time, in that visibility and in that force. We were in an unlikely spot for a DZ to be, chief. They knew."

"Thanks, Cortana."

"I'm sorry chief."

"You Can go into power save for now."

"Alright. Goodnight, chief."

John slowly scrolled down the list, reading their files.

John closed the file and sighed. He looked at his men and women, picking out the possible treasonous people. Tomorrow, he would tell everyone of a second ambush they would create. And catch the one person who would sell out their own race.
