Sourcebook
Intro
Planet Reach
July 24, 2552, 07:28 Hours
Both Falcons land in the camp, and the Warthog pulls to a stop. You and Noble Six get out of the Warthog, and moves toward a building.
Colonel Urban Holland (COM): "Contact with Visegrad Relay was lost last night. All signals flatlined at twenty-six hundred hours."
Jun, sitting outside a Falcon's passenger cabin, watches as you and Noble Six passes by, quietly placing rounds into a sniper rifle magazine.
Urban Holland (COM): "I responded with trooper fire teams, which have since been declared MIA."
Carter is shown from behind, watching a holographic computer screen displaying Holland's portrait and other information.
Holland (COM): "The Office of Naval Intelligence believes deployment of a Spartan team is a gross misallocation of valuable resources. I disagree."
Noble Six reache the door, and glance at Emile sharpening his kukri blade against his shoulder pauldron, and attempts to enter, but is immediately stopped by Kat.
Carter and Jorge turn to look at Noble Six.
