Prologue
UNSC Corruptor/ 0102 Hundred Hours/ Emergency Bay Alpha 4/ December 27th, 2551
Lieutenant Ryan Calvin caught his balance as the ship lurched backwards. “Three weeks ago I was in paradise. Now I’m out here about to die.” he whispered to himself, running from the engine room. From what he could tell this wasn’t the average mission they had been promised, but rather one filled with misery and deceit every step of the way. “God damm ONI!” he yelled, turning the corner towards the elevator. Explosions rippled around him, sending sparks and debris flying. As he ran towards the ships elevator, the only way to the bridge, and to his dear Captain. The man he had trusted his life with. a burst of fire erupted from the vent in the ceiling! Bits of glass and metal spewed out, slicing up his body. The white walls where now stained with black.
“Starboard thrusters out! We have no time, we need to Evac now! ! The ships reactor is in critical meltdown! We must get off!” Ryan yelled at the top of his lungs into his mike. “Sir I can’t reach you, the elevator is down, we must get off!”
The captain replied to him sternly. “If those Covenant bastards think I’m going to hand over this ship they can all go to the fires of hell below us! I will not lose this ship to the enemy!”
“Lieutenant take as many people with you planet side, you have a better chance there than in the tiny piece of Titanium!”
“Sir there is no time we can’t save the ship!” The Frigate jolted hard sending Ryan off his feet in the small, cramped corridor! He smashed his head the steel walls, sending him onto his back. Grogginess came over him. The light fixtures above fell down around him, the hallway went dark.
Ryan heard a crackle in his com. “We just lost our Port side engine, ships in freefall. All crew abandon ship, ships A.I initiate self destruction procedures.”
Ryan’s stomach churned, the only thing below them was that cold planet, with no sign of rescue, the covenant would surely get them before the elements did. He thought of the horror stories he had been told of survivors rescued from the covenant, the previous POWs came back changed, their bodies deformed. Ryan felt around the small corridor, grabbing the door controls he got to his feet. Feeling for the emergency lights.
He entered a series of numbers onto one of the panels lining the walls. A door near the panel opened reveling an escape pod. The ships alarm was sounding, echoing through Ryan’s ears. Then CRACK, the sound of static popped in his com, making his ears like to bleed.
“Ryan!?” the voice yelled. “Ryan it’s Gabe come back! Where are you?! Ryan hello?! We are out of the ship! Did you make it?!” Ryan couldn’t reply, the jolt to his head made him drowsy. “Ryan!”
Ryan slouched in the seat, as the door sealed shut behind him, in front of him sat several panels. He entered the coordinates of the icy planet below. Slipping into black he felt the small pod lurch from the ship.. Escaping the burning wreckage that awaited the planet bound piece of steel. Lieutenant Calvin could hear the screams of his fellow crewman trapped inside the ship over the Com, as he looked out watching three Covenant cruisers move towards his crippled ship. The place he had called home for so many years. His head began to throb, and Ryan began to lose his vision. Ryan’s eyes closed, the blackness of space becoming closer to him.
