Gray Team: Difference between revisions

Gray Team, Rojka, and Melody were then met by Ellis, who laid out a plan for defeating Hekabe and his forces.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC23|Env|Chapter=23}} She had rigged a [[M68 Gauss cannon]] with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] as a power source, creating a device that fired a concentrated [[Electromagnetic pulse]]. This blast would neutralize the [[vertex]], leaving Hekabe unable to command the Sharquoi.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC21|Env|Chapter=21}} Gray Team then refined the plan, suggesting that they enter the Forerunner facility via aerial insertion and mount the device on a [[M121 Jackrabbit]] as opposed to a Warthog.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC23}} The team was deployed into the structure alongside a militia squad led by [[Corporal]] [[Wyse]], reaching the bottom of the facility with only one militia casualty. Jai and Adrianna then climbed onto the Jackrabbit piloted by Mike as the team advanced across a bridge towards Hekabe's position. Near the edge of the bridge, the two Spartans dismounted in order to face the incoming Sharquoi. However, the Jackrabbit was soon immobilized by a falling Sharquoi, forcing Mike to abandon the vehicle.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC24|Env|Chapter=24}} Jai then ripped the device from it's mount and carried it towards Hekabe's position while Adrianna and Mike provided covering fire. Mike was then nearly killed by two Sharquoi during this final push, taking a massive blow and being thrown into the air. After Ellis fired the device and took control of the vertex for herself, Gray Team and Rojka were then immobilized by Sharquoi who were under her control.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC25|Env|Chapter=25}} Jai's shoulder was nearly ripped out of its socket due to this immobilization. Ellis then informed the team that she planned to detonate the nuke and they all had ten minutes to evacuate the facility. They fled up the stairs, with Mike attempting to hail a Pelican in vain.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC26|Env|Chapter=26}} A ways from the entrance to the facility, the team was picked up by a Pelican that was hailed for them by Ellis. They were able to escape the nuclear blast, though their Pelican was caught in the shockwave and crashed with no casualties.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC27|Env|Chapter=27}}
