Chapter Text
"North! Get over here now!" Carolina shouted over the chaos. "We have a problem!"
North stopped loading his rifle and looked up at Carolina. "What now? I thought we already had a problem."
"We have ANOTHER problem!" Carolina snapped. "There's a breach of the Cole Protocol on the Space Dock."
"What the hell! How'd that happen?" York asked from behind North.
"I have no clue," Carolina answered, "but somehow, the Corvette Circumference still has it's Nav data. Most of the SPARTANS are coming Planet side to help with the fight down here, but a few are going to purge that data."
"Why are you telling me this Carolina?" North asked.
"Because we're sending a team up for support, and you're leading that team."
"I figured it was something like that." North said. "Who do I get?"
"First off, you get York here--"
"What? Why?" York interrupted.
"Because you've got technical knowledge. You also get Georgia, CT, Wyoming, and Florida."
"Wait, Carolina," North said, "are you seriously sending both Snipers up top?"
"Yes North, I am." Carolina answered. "York, CT, Georgia, Florida, and the SPARTANS will need as much cover as possible."
"That makes sense I guess." North agreed. "How many SPARTANS will be there? And which ones?"
"There are currently three Spartans inbound for the Circumference." the Director answered North's question from the entrance of the command tent, causing all three of them to snap to attention. "At ease. Agent North Dakota, I left the personnel decisions for this particular mission up to Agent Carolina, and I agree with her choices. You will lead Agents York, Connecticut, Wyoming, Georgia, and Florida to the Reach Space Dock, from there you will meet up with three SPARTANS, specifically SPARTANS James-005, Linda-058, and their leader, John-117. You will assist them in the mission of purging the Navigational Data aboard the Circumference. Four-Seven-Niner will fly you up to the station, and stand by for air support and extraction. Do you both understand your mission?"
Both North and York answered almost immediately "Yes Director."
"Excellent. Now, you both are dismissed. Gather your team, get into the Pelican, and go."
