Spartan Echo Team II

The official founding of echo team II was 3 years after the disappearance of Echo team I after they were sent into space to possibly find Spartan John-117. The squad is a group of 8 consisting of Spartan III’s.

The Founding of Echo Team:

After the training of delta company after the battle of earth, 8 Spartans were pulled aside to train with the new Spartan IV program. These Spartans were among the best in delta company. These members included Earl, Dustin, Dung, Rick, Pedro, Collin, Anna, and Hadiel. The team went through extensive training, through 4 separate spartan training programs before they were readied to be deployed into actual combat. These are the only known spartan III's to receive MJOLNIR powered armor besides Noble Team.

The Recovery of the Spirit Of Fire:

Even after the Covenant-Human war ended there were still many threats to the remaining humans. Ships would constantly be on the look out for potential enemy attacks. In 2558 long range satellites picked up signals from what signaled as a friendly ship headed directly to the coordinates of earth. Not long after, they identified it as an UNSC ship. Fearing the flood might be infesting the vessel ONI secretly dispatched the newly equipped Echo team to investigate.

Using a drop pod, Echo team successfully broke through the hull of the ship, and continued to the bridge. Not long after their arrival, the interiors self defense system mysteriously turned on, slowing their way to the bridge. After breaking through the bridges auto-lock doors, echo teams technician Anna, disabled the hostile auto turret system.

Moving throughout the lower levels of the ship, Echo team still has not seen any actual survivors. They decided the remaining survivors would reside in the cyro bays. As they entered, more and more radar disruptions signaling movement all around them. The first cyro bay they encountered was ripped open, almost like something forced its way inside. When examining closer they discovered broken glass and dry blood all over the floor with stains leading further into the cyro bays.

Immediately they were ambushed by flood combat forms, and Dustin was almost killed while caught off guard. The Spartans continued pushing deeper in the ship with the flood following closely behind them. The Spartans then got cornered and broke in the higher ranking cyro bay area. Getting overrun by the flood they sealed the doors and continued deeper, hoping to find some way to escape the ship and warn the rest of the UNSC about the upcoming threat....
