Battle on Blue Lava

The Battle on Blue Lava was a major, large scale anti-insurrection operation in response to dangerous amounts of insurrectionist activity throughout a recently terraformed Venus that took place in 2538.

The battle acquired its name due to the Sulfuric lava created by Volcanoes on Venus, which are Neon Blue in color. Maddie Ross and Spencer Hayes are known to have participated in the battle.

Heavy Innie Activity
Early July of 2538, an bomber entered a Venusian subway and proceeded to detonate a bomb loaded belt, killing over a dozen people. Only a week later, 10 more innies were arrested before a planned attack on a military fort on Venus.

These two events ultimately led up to the location of a giant Innie armory compound just under Mt. Apex, a volcano near Olos, Venus.

UNSC Response
quickly responded with the arrival of 12th Divisions, 1st Regiment. The group set up camp in the outskirts of Olos city, and prepared for further instruction, before the innies attacked.

Firefight in Olos
Less than 2 hours after 12th divisions arrival in Olos, an insurrectionist opened fire, injuring two soldiers as well as two civilians (One of which died later). After a ten minute confrontation, UNSC soldiers eradicated the innie.

Pelican Attack
Concurrent to the firefight in Olos, ten innies ran through another UNSC camp and attacked. The first shots were fired by UNSC soldiers, who killed 3 innies before they could reach cover. The remaining seven engaged the marines for five minutes, until a suicide bomber sneaked behind multiple UNSC soldiers and detonated himself. The large blast disoriented the marines, allowing for a clean escape by the innies.

Less than a minute afterwards, the remaining innies entered an unoccupied UNSC Pelican and began operating the vehicle. Once in the air, the terrorist began firing into downtown Olos. All 16 missiles killed over 40 civilians and injured 90 more.
