Phoenix Logs/Multiplayer Maps/Vault


 * Lush woodlands conceal an immense Forerunner storage facility.


 * "The storage facility was only a couple of klicks out as we pushed through the
 * woods, and after a long exhausting march I could feel the rest of the team relax
 * a little. After all the alien sights we had seen, the familiarity of a cool breeze and
 * the smell of those large trees was a comfort, and for a short while we could
 * almost forget where we were.


 * That was our first mistake. Something shimmered out of the corner of my eye
 * and lifted Dimitri into the air. He lurched violently to the left as the cloaked Elite
 * swung his sword free of his victim and Floyd shouted 'Elite!'. We fired off several
 * rounds at the spot where Dimitri had been standing, but the Elite had already
 * melted back into the trees. We still outnumbered him seven to one, but I wasn't
 * about to follow a cloaked Elite into the trees so he could pick us off one by one.


 * We popped our grenades.


 * A minute later, we slowly pushed through the burning trees, picking splinters
 * out of our uniforms. There was no sign of the Elite, but the shallow stream
 * beyond was streaked with purple blood. I collected Dimitri's tags and blinked to
 * get the sting of smoke out of my eyes. We wouldn't forget where we were
 * again."
