Halo: Silent Storm: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

Meanwhile, a group of [[insurrectionist]]s meet aboard the frigate ''[[Bellicose]]'' to discuss the emerging Covenant threat, with several groups represented. The meeting is led by [[Lyrenne Castilla]] and General [[Harper Garvin]]. The conference eventually agrees to stage a coup of Biko, intending to offer the planet to the Covenant in return for the Covenant sparing the world. [[Petora Zoyas]] of the [[Gao Liberation Force]] offers up intel about the SPARTANs and Operation: SILENT STORM, gathered from a turncoat contact inside the task force. As part of the insurrectionist ploy, they agree to alert the Covenant to the UNSC plan at Biko and, if successful, continue to drip-feed the Covenant intelligence about the UNSC war effort and eventually, the location of [[Earth]], in return for their continued survival. To stage this coup, the insurrectionist factions contribute forces to join the [[Biko Independence Army]] at a base established in an [[Seoba ice quarry|abandoned ice quarry]] on the Bikon moon of [[Seoba]].

Task Force Yama unknowingly select this same location to stage their operation, leading to the task force attempting to land at the ice quarry. When they discover the rebel presence, the Task Force prepares to take the quarry. Against the SPARTANs' suggestions, Colonel Crowther assigns one SPARTAN to each ODST [[platoon]] to carry heavy weapons. The {{UNSCShip|Ghost Star}} is taken out by return fire from concealed [[M41 Vulcan]] cannons, with many ODSTs killed during the initial drop. Another flight of prowlers take out an insurrectionist communication facility at the top of the quarry, prompting a convoy of [[Civet]] AFVs to begin transporting a group of engineers to fix the array. The prowlers begin to turn around and retreat, cancelling the deployment. Seeing the few soldiers who did manage to successfully land and are now taking fire, [[John-117]] decides to take the initiative against orders and drops out of the drop bay, leading to the remaining forces joining him. With the botched landing, the troops begin taking heavy casualties but are able to eventually find cover. John forms a plan with Lieutenant [[Nelly Hamm]] and Captain [[Zelos ~~Cuthier~~]]; the quarry is lined by a mass driver leading up to the surface, with bunkers lining all sides. The SPARTANs intend to climb the inside of the mass driver and prevent the insurrectionists from fixing the comms facility and leaking the secrecy of the operation, with the ODSTs launching a mock assault to distract the defenders.
