But planning without knowing the full situation, how much time the colony had left, and what the odds were would be worse than doing nothing at all. Making your choice to swallow the bitter medicine and get it over with quickl; despite your personal feelings towards the Commander in charge of the defense of Alpha Corvi II, Commander Yao was your superior officer and was more knowledgeable about the defense efforts present circumstances
"Shika, I'll get patched up when there isn't any work that needs me on my feet" You say, patting the shorter girl on her shoulder, your face reflected in the gold tint of her visor. You could imagine and picture clearly the face she had to be making under her helmet.
"Fine" She said in a huff, and flicked her still wet with blood scalpel around, before securing it back into her medical kit "Not much I could do with all the armor on anyways"
"You really should stay off your feet, Sir" Jorge warned, looking up from staring gloomily at his hands, his wisp of a mustache stuck to his upper lip from sweat
"You want to be the one to force him to stay still?" Daisy asked, lifting up her head as you shakily rose to your feet.
"Where's the bridge?" You ask, turning to Squad Skua, who were still picking their jaws off the floor and gawking after seeing how young you and your squadmates were underneath your helmets.

"Which is why I'm going to call in a pick up, to get it off world and off our hands" You tell them "Keep a tight perimeter. If any curious locals start gathering, we'll drive further into the hills"
"Aye Aye!"
You walks over to a nearby, dead tree, and connect your COMs to the frequency of the UNSC Skidbladnir. It takes a few minutes to get a secure and stable line to your own ship.
"Lieutenant" That now familiar and comforting voice of Rita answers "I hope your mission is going well"
"For now. Patch me into the bridge" You find yourself smiling
"Of course. Currently, the Skidbladnir is shadowing an unknown vessel of suspected Insurectionist ties. I am sure they'd value your input, Askeland. Presently, they are merely observing the craft, by order of Lieutenant Junior Grade Valerie Faure" She answers "And, do come back safely, I'd loathe to lose a friend"
"I don't think the Innies have a weapon that could put me in the ground, but I appreciate the concern, sister rita' You says warmly, and wait to be redirected to the command staff
"Sir" You here Valerie Faure answer "Just the man I wanted to hear from. You've got good instincts, not long after your squad departed, following your orders, we monitored the outward transmission coming from the colony and Ensign Kobal, recognized an anomaly in our scanners and Ensign Kon was able to trace several of the active transmission to the location of a...well, we think its a Insurrectionists attempt to make a Oni Prowler, Lieutenant. Kobal thinks its stealth system, while less effective than our own stealth ablative coating, is a derivative of it. I call it a pale imitation. But its better tech than what the rebels should have access to"
"Where they sourced it from is not your concern, LTJG" You answer "Has it made any movements or changed position"
"No. It appears to be monitoring Black Sands from distance, Sir" She answers back rapidly "Coste is wanting to lead an EVA and attempt to capture it, ONI style. I was waiting for permission to shoot it out of the sky"
"Can you send the second Pelican down to these coordinates?" You ask rather than answer
"I'll scramble the warrant officer immediately" Faure answers immediately "Should have no issues covertly breaking atmosphere"
"Good. We've picked some valuable cargo that needs extracting before the mission is complete" You answer, nodding "As for what to do about the ghost ship..."

Even if we don't go up in space with her. She has enough black lines and top secret on her military background that i believe she could capture the ship. Provided a combat team is under command of course.
Having an Innie stealth ship captured, is something we could use really well on the report of this operation. Another victory to bring home.
Following it back home would be also nice but this is one of a kind ship. The Innie Movement that made this thing, actually tried and made something that more or less ..... works. We didn't find it immediately above Black Sands, it took some searching and work from our officers and crew. Even if it remains an inferior ship, this is too good to pass up and having it would as a bonus reveal whatever they where planning in Black Sands. If they arent Einherjar. If they are...well we know already what they want to do.

If we perform a boarding action and it's affiliated with any of the more aggressive innie factions they'll trash it's navigational data at best or blow it out from underneath the feat of who whoever we send over. Now, if it's from Venezia we should put the whole colony in our big book of grudges and dump Vali on the shitheels the first chance we get.
Also if we really want to capture it we can always just send up one or two of our Spartans with the retrieval Pelican and have them and Coste board it. Would raise the chances of an actual capture and minimize any potential casualties. ODST have trouble with the Einherjar if it is them so I'd rather not send Coste and some combat experienced crewmen to get murdered or captured in a failed attempt.

If it's one of the other factions, we put a tracker on it so we can trace it.

The Sangheili would probably be horrified at the barbarity of such and act and demand the extermination of our species even more ardently.

You know i do wonder 404, perhaps Sven should write down a theoretical new military unit : see about applying and playing with some of the Einherjar training and indoctrination for create something. Hatred for the aliens is on the rise anyway....
>Blood Eagle The Alligators would say scandal, bloody murder something along those lines. Hyper barbarians to burn, nobles upon nobles vowing upon their lives and souls to put every human to the sword or shoot by plasma. Not that it matters with all they are doing and going to do to humanity.
The Gorrilas might be happy instead, they love that kind of brutality, mostly because they are always eager to do it themselves or to do any kind of violence really. Might take notes, not even joking.

A threat like the covenant. A genocidal empire of alien zealots that believed humanity to be a blight on the universe, for reasons presently unknown and possibly beyond human understanding. A vision of the sea boiled away and the black sands covering the hills and reaching down to the beach turned to an obsidian sheet of glass flickered in your mind's eye.
Without realizing it, you'd began to clench your hands into fists, and your heart had began to pound
"We'll stop them" You promised to the air and soil of the world, and the people living on it who wouldn't recognize you as human.
"Sir? You say something?" Illya asked, and you shake your head
"Just lost in my thoughts soldier, stay at ease" You tell her, and stand as if on guard duty, listening to the updates Lilac and Indigo team send your way. Presently, there are no snags in either of their missions. Lilac has gotten their VIPs to a secure location and are providing overwatch, and after Indigo realized the Red Beards had a few of their members disguised in CMA uniforms they had foiled any attempt to use that to their advantage as, they simply did not have the neural interfaces that marked them as friendly on their Armor's Friend or foe indicator. It was a trick that could've worked on marines or even less attentive ODST, but against Spartans? it was doomed to fail.
But that didn't mean they didn't have any other surprise up their sleeves. So you had to stay combat ready, and prepared to leap into the fray to help your brothers and sisters in cutting the Einherjar's Red Beard once and for all.
The ETA for the prisoner pick up was still a few minutes away. A lot could happen in a few minutes.

>>6301660 >perhaps Sven should write down a theoretical new military unit : see about applying and playing with some of the Einherjar training and indoctrination for create something. I'm thinking of a specialized light infantry unit in direct contrast to the ODST. Less shock and awe, more cloak and dagger. Hell, maybe even purpose built to act as support or in-tandem with Spartans.
Imagine they were inspired by our own playbook; experts in just about everything needed to stay adaptable, but primarily focused on stealth operations and asymmetric warfare. Proper boogiemen.
As for taking inspiration from the Einherjar, we might think about issuing combat stims to this hypothetical unit. Obviously we'd use a much more stable compound and encourage their use sparingly, but you can't deny the efficacy of such a thing in close quarters.
Another thing to look into might be SPI armor, even if that sort of thing is a ways away right now. I think it would compliment the skillset I proposed above AND serve to further distinguish them from ODSTs in culture, image, and mission.
Maybe we could call them Spartiates or Drengir or something.

>>6301679 I am thinking about something directly inspired due to the effectiveness shown by Einherjar units against UNSC ones, be CMA garrisons, Police, Marines, Soldiers, and even ODSTs (and the Red Beards are not dying easily to Spartans as we have seen). And combat stims/combat drugs are, I think, just a part of it. Their training and indoctrination are the clear major parts that made the difference. I don't think it is a good idea to combine my idea and yours, and combat stims would not add much to the unit you are describing. The combination could work poorly, in fact, and what I have in mind would not help their stealth; they work better as separate ideas. Having any of the liquids made in the BERSEKER project would end poorly for the unit you have in mind, trust me.
>SPI armor Could be costly and not something I would consider for the unit you are proposing. Not if you want to make it in any decent numbers. A new body armor, probably a combination of what ONI Field Agents use and ODST armor, could probably suit them instead, and it wouldn't be too costly, allowing for larger numbers of them to be made. What i am thinking instead would be probably heavy combat body armor, so drugs would be needed.
Keep it with you still, it might be an idea to propose in the future. High Command might listen to us; we are giving them good reasons to do so. As of now, while I had this other idea in mind, I remain mostly laser-focused on the heavy robotic-cybernetics augmentation third path for Washouts, finding another way to rehabilitate them for war (in case what its being done now doesn't work). And I want Soren to be the first one (if he volunteers).

Quoted By:
>>6301702 True, maybe combat stims wouldn't be a good idea for a dedicated stealth unit.
Anyways, I have to wonder if the Einherjar's track record against UNSC forces is the result of UNSC being relatively undertrained as opposed to the Einherjar being objectively superior. Remember, there hasn't been a war for quite a while till now, and it's hard to keep combat readiness up during extended periods of peace time.
It's a little early in the war to tell, but I can imagine as time goes on, UNSC personnel across the board are going to get a LOT more competent and experienced. Those that survive anyways.

>>6301826 The resistance that was done for avoid her capture is too high for not be her. Still if she isn't, she is likely either in that stealth ship or in a building of her native ally here in Black Sands (Not even the Einherjar could just walk here in Black Sands and do all of this so easily, you need locals helping you). There is an easy way to verify this with a write in right now :
>>6301663 >Write-in >Answer your concerns and doubts with taking action now. Control the face and body of Ingrid for verify signs of plastic surgery, then take a blood sample and see if it can be verified with the medical gear Shika has with her with your own blood sample. Also have her body scanned be for trackers, cybernetics, bombs or anything else that isn't organic. The other Einherjar captured should be also controlled and scanned And if she isn't in Black Sands, she is at home. Even so we have massive victory, just by the UEG/UNSC showing the evidence of Einherjar being here for an attempted terroristic attack and the use of a nuke.

>>6302036 Meh, failure is apart of growing as a character. And if this is our first “Big mistake that blows up in our face” I wouldn’t mind it. Worst case scenario is that Biomom gets away with SUBSTANTIALLY less resources than what she once had, meaning she’ll probably hold up on her home planet for the time being. This is again assuming the woman we grabbed is indeed not our target. Also while we all know Sven is a smart cookie, I don’t know if he’d be in his own head about it this hard after just doing the mission. When he decides to sit down and do his mission report? Sure I could see it. But now? After having done accomplished this mission with damn near perfect results? I’m of the opinion he’d much rather be talking to his fellow Spartans. But that’s just my own thoughts on his character.
