- Thetis to Viridian  Fire Team Viridian is a SPARTAN Fire Team comprised of 4 SPARTAN-II Commandos from Class-I, The team was formed in 2525 and saw action almost immediately in the human-covenant war. They have been in many engagements ranging from small skirmishes and infiltrations, to full-scale battles such as the second battle for harvest. Due to its diversity and survivability the team was used primarily on its own, performing raids, Sabotage missions, and recon surveillance deep behind enemy lines. In 2527 ONI awarded the team with an A.I named Thetis created specifically for the types of missions they are usually deployed on. She would become an invaluable tool for, and eventually member of the team.

Prefered Deployment Method
High Altitude Tactical Deployment (HATD)<BR>This method of deployment requires a jet pack and entails dropping via Pelican at 12,000 meters and using the jetpack to control decent, usually landing amidst the enemy lines. If Supplies allow this is preceded by a missile barrage to soften and disorientate the enemy before Viridian begin there attack.<BR><BR>However they are more then competent with most, if not all conventional and unconventional deployment methods used by UNSC and (due to the alliance) Sanghelli forces.

Thetis, Squad A.I
<BR> Thetis named herself after the sea dwelling, Demi-goddess of Greek myth. She stumbled across the Spartans of ancient Greece, and their mythology, while reserching the SPARTAN-II project. As there are no pictures of Thetis she projects herself as a human female with long Black hair with Red highlights, Brown eyes, and a chiseled almost flawless face. She wears a body suit similar to Cortana's but Red.<BR>

Thetis is an expert in field recon, battle logic, and system infiltration to name just a few. She works with the squad to create battle plans, weighing up the variables and giving alternate solutions to potentially life threatening situation. Also capable of gaining access to enemy systems opening doors for the team, gathering information on the enemies plans and even planting viruses to destroy the systems when finished. <Br>

There have been several copies of Thetis, as once one is de-activated another logic chip is implanted with her core memory, ONI making a copy when they realized her potential. Although being replicas they acted in many ways like there predecessor, fulfilling the same roll just as well. There personality’s differed slightly but that was not an issue. <BR>

Chi-Ceti
Although not playing a major part in the key battles of Chi-Ceti, Viridian had a few notable skirmishes with Covenant forces planet side while protecting high value structures, and attacking Covenant placements. <BR><BR>Operation:CLEARSKIES <BR> Viridian squad were tasked with clearing out the covenant anti-air platforms around Chi-Ceti and were key in several vital attacks to regain control of the skies.<BR> The operation was simple in essence, Achillies and Nicholi would create a distraction and eliminate enemy ground forces whilst Kaesoron escorted Az to the AA placements. Az then sets explosives on a timer, and the fire team move to the next target Via 'Hog'. Once all objectives had been neutralized they are extracted Via Pelican.<BR><BR> Everything was going smooth until they got to the third Placement and the 'Hogs' were hit by a Sanghelli with a fuel rod. The fire team quickly dispatched the Warrior, and moved to eliminate the rest of the Covenant Defence. Az closed in on the placement and armed an explosive next to the massive guns power core. The Team got clear of the blast radius and Az detonated the charge, the placement was engulfed in a white explosion as the charge ignited the harnesed plasma and the reactor overloaded. Viridian then cleared the area and prepared to move out. <BR><BR> Now without transport and a further two placements to disable the team set out to the next objective, however once they got there it was made clear they would have to re-think the original plan. The Covenant had realized what was happening and increased defence forces on the remaining placements six fold, Achillies counted twelve Sanghelli warriors, Six Kig-yar with beam rifles, and over seventy Unggoy. He updated the teams HUD and started working on a solution. The best conceived plan was for Az to sneak into the placement set the charge and get out undetected, the team would then faint an attack drawing the enemy within the blast radius before detonating.<BR><BR> Az managed to plant the charges and get out without being spotted and the stage was set. Achillies took aim and opened the attack by eliminating the Kig-yar snipers, whilst the rest of the team drew the enemies into the blast radius. Az then detonated the explosive Incinerating two thirds of the Unggoy, cooking of Plasma Grenades and detonating fuel rod clips. The blast had also stripped the Sanghelli of the shields, Viridian took this to their full advantage and within six seconds eight of the twelve were dead. The remaining Sanghelli diving behind cover waiting for their shields to recharge, Frantically bellowing orders to regroup and fire back. It was too late however and Viridian mercilessly slaughtered the remaining Unggoy, closing in on the Sanghelli in a hail of bullets. The newly recharged shields failed again and they fell to the floor as the torrent of fire shredded armour and skin. The firefight lasted no longer than 90 seconds, all Covanent forces were eliminated, the objective had been destroyed and the area was secure. <BR><BR> The Unit, Commandeering a UH-144 'Falcon' from local PDF in the area, then set off for the final target. Whilst on the way Nicholi monitored the 'TACCOM' channel for any updates on situations elsewhere and relayed information to the fire team appropriately. Heavy Covenant movement was reported in Viridians area and the general consensus was that they were regrouping. Reports of a large enemy flight group entering atmosphere and moving directly to the last AA platform confirmed Achillies initial suspicion that they were rallying on Viridians last target. <BR><BR> Due to the sheer numbers against them the team decided this would no longer work as a hit and run mission, they landed the 'Falcon' a safe distance from the position and split up to recon the area. After surveying the area and performing long range recon on the enemy positions Viridian managed to get an idea of what they would be up against. The numbers were most definitely against them, with over forty Sanghelli of varying ranks, sixty Kig-Yar, and Unggoy in the hundreds. That was just the troops Kaesoron counted two Wraiths, four Revenants, and eight Ghosts patrolling the perimeter. Along with three Phantoms and four Banshee squadrons in the skies above. <BR><BR><BR>
