Battle of the Rubble: Difference between revisions

Meanwhile, Ignatio Delgado was assigned by the Rubble Security Council to protect a data chip that contained the coordinates to Earth. However, he and his copilot, Melko Hollister, were attacked by some Kig-yar who wanted the data. Delgado managed to distract the Kig-yar long enough for Hollister to escape and board their ship, ''Distancia''. Delgado however was wounded and was about to be killed when he was rescued by one of the Spartans of Gray Team, Adriana-111. She asked for the data in exchange for helping him. Delgado refused however. She performed first-aid on Delgado and gave him an emergency contact beacon, telling him that if the data chip was attacked again, he should activate the beacon. Unfortunately for Delgado, Hollister had died while escaping with the data, putting the skirmish at a Pyrrhic victory for the Rubble.  

The Kig-yar ship ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]'' attacked and disabled the Sangheili-held [[Covenant destroyer]] ''[[Retribution's Thunder]]'' as they arrived at the Rubble. Thel 'Vadamee and his crew were taken captive and stored within one of the habitats. The ''Midsummer Night'' arrived shortly after while stalking the [[Kestrel]] and was taken out with a [[mass driver]] round and missile fire from the Rubble Defense Force. [[Commander]] [[Dmitri Zheng]] was shot by [[Lieutenant]] [[Badia Campbell|Campbell]] but pushed himself to lock the arm codes for the [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva-class Nuclear Missiles]] on board and fired them away to dispose of them. As Zheng died, Keyes was forced to take command of the ship. Keyes surrendered the ship to save the crew, resulting in them being imprisoned on the Rubble as well.  

The Rubble's resident AI construct, [[Juliana]], discovered the movement of the Kig-yar vessels and prepared the proper forces to defend the Rubble from the Kig-yar assault. She collaborated with Gray Team and had Jai-006 rescue Keyes and his imprisoned crewmates while Adriana-111 and Mike-120 disabled the ''Distancia'' to retrieve the navigation data from Bonifacio. Although Adriana successfully entered the ship and dealt with the bodyguards, Bonifacio quickly escaped in an escape pod. She interrogated a surviving guard and contacted Bonifacio, who gave her the location of the data in exchange for letting him free. The two Spartans quickly moved out to help the others. Meanwhile, Jai, Keyes, and Juliana decided to take the Kig-yar ship the ''Infinite Spoils'' in order to confirm the possibility of a Kig-yar attack. The ''[[Mighty Sparrow]]'', filled with ODSTs, latched onto the ''Infinite Spoils'', allowing them to plug Juliana into the Kig-yar battle network, while another group of ODSTs assaulted the airlock outside the ship. This allowed them to gain data on the upcoming invasion by [[Reth]] from ''[[Metisette]]''. During the infiltration the [[Sangheili]] under Thel attacked the ''Mighty Sparrow'' which was docked with the Kig-Yar raider. Delgado and the remaining ODSTs, including Faison, quickly escaped and boarded the ''Infinite Spoils''. While Faison and Delgado navigated through the ship, Faison took fire from a surviving Kig-yar pirate. The shot hit a blood vessel, causing Faison to loss blood quickly. Delgado was forced to abandon him but called for backup to recover Faison. Aboard ''Infinite Spoils'', Zhar and Thel followed the same path as the humans took. Zhar ran into Faison and took fire before killing him with his plasma rifle. While Zhar became curious and remained shaken, they encountered [[Jai-006]] and Thel engaged in hand to hand combat with him, declaring him a [[demon]] in the struggle. The Spartan took a look at Faison and retreated back into the habitat. Thel and Zhar decided to abstain from the battle and took the ship for themselves.
