Sergeant Fitz John 15th Marine Regiment

13:00 9th January 2531 Harvest, Espilon Indi System

Sergeant Fitz John looked over at the glassed town of Gladsheim, the smooth surface was pure glass he stared at the destruction caused by an alien alliance called the "Covenant" during the first skirmish of Harvest. What is all this for he wondered to himself before Private Ryan McKenzie broke his state of through. "Serge we got orders to come back to Utgard, the covenant have returned" said Pvt.McKenzie "You hear that marines saddle up and head back to H.Q" shouted Sergeant John

The troops of john's team rushed to there two warthogs and headed to the highway that lead to Utgard. It had been five years since Admiral Cole fleet has taken back harvest but it was a terrible cost with two thirds of his fleet destroyed or damaged. For what? Sergeant Johns wondered, for an empty outer colony world that was partly glassed and held no real value. John's team spent the next hour riding the long highway until the few tall building of Utgard towered over the vehicles. They neared a guard house surrounded by rubble with two marines standing guard, Sergeant Johns drove towards the two marines. "First squad" said Johns "Good timing first squad, I’m guessing you know about the covenant then" replied one of the marines "Yes just got orders to come back to Utgard, what can you tell us at the moment" asked johns "Covenant back in system, currently the Sprit of Fire and Prophecy are engaging the ships Colonel Matthews is recalling all units of the 15th marine regiment were drawing the line at Utgard" answered the marine "Ha we knew the covenant would return sooner of later they don’t like licking there wounds after a ass kicking" marked the sergeant "Lets hope were not the ones getting the ass kicking now, go on through" said the marine with a hint of fear in his voice.

The warthogs drove through the city avoiding the make-shift barricades and piles of rubble that peppered the cities roads, all the while troops where getting ready for the slaughter that was going to happen. The warthogs slowed to a stop in front of the Utagard government building. While Sergeant John’s team waited outside he walked to the top office of the building to where Colonel Matthews called home.

"Ahhh sergeant come in " announced Colonel Matthews as he saw the sergeant come up the stairs "Yes sir" replied the sergeant who entered and stood saluting. "at ease sergeant, you got back in just in time we got reports from the Prophecy that the covenant have landed dirty side and are preparing to destroy us at Utgard" said the Colonel while reading some papers "I see sir what do you think our chances our?" said johns as exited his salute "Haha a full regiment against a covenant army, we both know the answer sergeant but this isn’t the reason I called you here" replied the Colonel "Then what colonel?" asked johns as a flood of bad through come to mind "we won harvest back five years ago, it holds no real value its got no civilian population anymore and only the 15th regiment are on the planet but the covenant seem to want this planet very badly for some reason" answered the Colonel

He was right johns through he had come to the same conclusion over harvest, it wasn’t like there was any major resource on the planet because Harvest was a breadbasket world not an industrial powerhouse.

"Our reports show that there are two covenant forces on the planet one is going to assault Utgard but another is heading to this location" questioned the Colonel as he pointed to an X on a paper map. Sergeant John's stared at it for a second but came to no explanation. "there up to something the little bastard they seem to be digging but we don’t know what or why, so I’m sending your squad to alpha base located not far from he covenant dig site I want you to set up shop and report what the bastards are doing" explained the Colonel "Yes sir" saluted the sergeant "Good get your troops ready and out of here before the covenant lay siege to the city" said Colonel Matthews "Yes sir" john said again before leaving the room "Remember sergeant this could turn the tide of the war hopefully" whispered the Colonel has he went to the window to watch the squad leave the city.
