On board the UNSC Arrow Of Time

Ranks and Name: MOS18 series y/n

You were walking down a hallway of the Epoch-class heavy carrier, Arrow of Time. You've always liked it being huge, such a large ship for such a small crew. It may be one of the biggest ships in the UNSC, but it was still smaller than the old Covenant's CAS-class assault carrier. You were on your way to the armory to get your equipment, then over to mission briefing. You grabbed your gear and equipped it. Being a sniper, you used different gear than others. You had one of the strongest designed rifles used by the UNSC. You finished strapping on your armor and headed to briefing.

Like always, you showed up last. You've always hated briefing. It was boring because you liked to figure things out yourself. "Glad to see you show up y/n," stated Sargent Jackson in a very sarcastic tone. "Now let's get this show on the road," he said with a sigh. You knew he hated briefings as well. "As you all know, a strong Insurrectionist foothold is near the Pleiades sector," Jackson said as a map of the planet showed up. "Our sources say that they have massive AA guns, so just flying in is not an option. Due to this we will be taking a riskier maneuver" You looked over at the pilot of the pelican you are taking. Even though he had a helmet on, you could tell he was afraid. The Sargent started to speak again. "The pelican will leave the hangar while we are in slipspace so that they cannot detect you until you are close to the ground and safe from the AA guns." Now you feel bad for the pilot. That sounded hard to pull off. "Now for your objective," the Sargent said. " You all will help infiltrate the base and get y/n a good shot at the leader. Do you understand?"

"Sir yes sir" all of you said simultaneously.

"Good," he said "pelican leaves at 01:13 hours." Great. Another night mission. You felt bad for your team. Their sleep cycles get messed up. Yours doesn't. It was in your job description, in the very fine print at the bottom of the page.

On board the UNSC Arrow Of Time

As you headed to the hangar bay, you thought of all the things that could go wrong. It made you nervous at the thought that you could be ripped to shreds by the slipspace stream. Then you told yourself that you survived the flood, you can survive this.You and your squad boarded the pelican and took off. As you left the ship it felt a little shaky. You thought it was normal, giving that it was such a risky maneuver. Then you heard your comms go off.

"Pelican A34-229, abort the mission, we are hitting a slipspace rupture and it is too dangerous for you to sta-" The comms where cut off by the noise of a gaping hole in the side of the pelican. You went to grab the sturdiest thing possible and held on for dear life. You saw your teammates who didn't grab the best thing fly out the hole. After what had felt like holding on for days, you finally hit the ground of a planet, and you were out cold.

Unknown planet

After four and a half days, you woke up. "Am I dead?" You thought to yourself. But then you realized everything hurts too much to be dead. Your vision was blurry and your ears where ringing. You heard two unfamiliar voices, so you attempted to reach for your combat knife, but you soon discovered you couldn't move at all. As the voices grew louder, you thought "this is it. This is how I die, injured and helpless." But when they got into view, you noticed something was off. "Why the hell do these people look like horses. Am I fucking seeing things?" You thought to yourself.

One of the weird horse people saw you and said, "over here, I found a survivor." That made you confused. Why would they help you, After all, to them, you were just an alien.

One of the soldiers, you assumed that because they wore armor, walked by you and said, "you are going to be OK, my strange friend." And when they went to pick you up, you were out again.
