Pillar of Autumn

August 30, 2552 planet reach/azosd esodz

Right now Carter-A259, Emile-A239, and your Noble Six are in a Pelican being pursued by three enemy Banshees. Right now, Carter has received three plasma bullets in his chest, leaving perforations in his Spartan Mark III armor and some bloodstains on the pilot's seat of the Pelican.

Auntie Dot IA: Noble Leader, seek immediate medical attention. Noble Leader, I'm getting alarmed.

Carter-A259: I don't know how much longer this Pelican will last.

Carter said with frustration

while Emile shoots at the enemy banshees with his shotgun

Carter-A259: There are enemies everywhere, we have to get you out of here, Lieutenant (referring to Noble 6, i.e., you).

noble 6/user:sir you-?

Carter-A259: I don't want to hear it!! You must deliver that package to the autumn

noble 6/user:do

Carter-A259: Not yet! Emile, accompany you to 6, it will be a ground battle

emile-A239: It has been an honor, sir...

Carter-A259: Likewise!

You and Emile position yourselves at the entrance of the Pelican to jump

Carter-A259: Attention!!

Carter starts counting to 3 on his fingers

Carter-A259: NOW!!

You and Emile jump from the Pelican to the ground, but thanks to your Spartan armor, the energy shields cushion your fall. You then enter a cave and go to deliver Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn.

Minutes pass, you and Emile defeat several Ungoys, Jackals, and Sangheilis, but just as you leave the cliff caves, a Scarab appears. Then Emile receives a transmission from Carter.

Carter-A259: Watch out, there's a Scarab!

emile-A239: we can overcome this

But then there's a sudden change in Carter's voice; it becomes more determined.

Carter-A259: No...they can't do it alone

Then Carter's Pelican appears, distracting the Scarab.

emile-A239: Sir, you don't have firepower, you're not going to make it!!!!

Carter-A259: But I have mass...they are alone, noble...Carter out

Then Carter-A259 crashes the Pelican into the Scarab
