Where shall I start with my tale?
Well, I could tell you that we were four Elites and at least only one left
This person was me. Now I sit here with many medal of honors, but still filled with rage and angryness. Why? I will tell you that..

„'Ateraa, please wait here till I call you out" After a couple of hours I thought a little bit kidding, as the rank-higher Elites with open eyes looked at me. I had to go to the Commander of the 38. Unit of the Elites, the Brave and Silents. Good, the name may not say much, but when I'm invited as the leader of my clan, it must be something god damn important. And a few moments later, it definetely was.

„There you are." Without any movements the Commander greeted me and just gave a handwave, which meant that I should sit down to talk with him about this important thing. I already noticed that we had not much time. „Commander, I'm happy to see you again. May I ask, why I got such an honor like this?" Normally, I hate talking to brothers like an Unggoy, but he was still the person who could throw me out of my clan every minute he wanted to. „You heard of the latest fights on earth?" He asked, without answering my question „Of course, Commander. It's a pity th-..." „I didn't ask for a report, 'Ateraa", He said and hit his fist on the big, purple table „we had to take a really big hit from the humans, and the prophets are dissapointed and angry about your missions on Installation 05. A few of my scouts told me, that they found Installation 06. They are already starting to create a new Armada for engaging the humans on earth again." „Were any flood found?" „Well, that's not the problem, my dear friend." Suddenly he looked like a crook and gave his face a little twisted smile „But we already found some buildings and really big stations of the forerunners. We also found a underground station, which is obviously guarded by Enforcers and Sentinels, like them on Installation 04 and, but they're even bigger and stronger than their little brothers. They even got an improved shield technique" Better shields then we have? I couldn't believe what I just heard. „Believe it or not. We need you to hunt and kill this tin-cans and you have to look for new technologies. Take anything with you. Harddrives, whatever! Of course we will give you weapons and other things you need for your risky mission. I'm pretty sure we will meet after 10 days, 'Ateraa?" I bent over, took one knee high up. It nearly touched my skin. I layed my right hand on the left lifted knee and said „Of course, Commander."

„And I said him, he should shove his plasma grenade up his a-..." 'Quazee told enthusiatic, when suddenly our leader kicked in the door with a loud bang. „Listen, brothers! We have a new mission to complete! We're about to take a journey to Installation 06 to kick some metal-asses! So, anything you want to take with you on our vacation?" The Elites definetely enjoyed 'Ateraa's humour „Sir, no sir!" I said cool from the side. „Alright" 'Ateraa remarked even cooler. „I want you all in 15 units from now at Hangar 04/10! I will send you the informations about our objective to your HUDs, so stand by."

Glad that I can still trust them I thought happily, as I saw all three of my brothers standing in a line, everyone equipped with heavy white armor and armor-breaking Plasma Rifles. It reminded me to the good ol' time, where we had to eliminate a whole heretic–Base. I checked my equipment: An energy sword, six Plasma Grenades, two Plasma Rifles and a Plasma Pistol. That would do the thing, definetely. Well, there are just Sentinels with shields, which perhaps recharge faster than their's. But that was all. They would never survive the shots from a third of dozen Elites. Never. Ever. I gave myself permission to smile about my thoughts, but it dissapeared when we all went into the drop ship. „'Katagee, give me the coordinates for Installation 06. We'll start in 4 units from now on."
