Chapter One - Welcome to Aden
1400 hours,October 15, 2529 (UNSC Military Calender)) Staff Sergeant Dean Saunders was tired of rain. It had rained for two days straight, and it seemed that yet again, it would rain. As he walked across the muddy fields of Aden, he cursed under his breath everytime his boot seemed to get stuck. The 5th Marine Division had done their part, setting up defenses in the major city of Hermann. Yet the Covenant forces were staying more than ninety kilometers away from the city. Most likely they were planning their assualt. Liuetenant Ambrose had sent Dean's squad out to recce the area six kilometers out from the city, mostly residential areas. So far, there was no sign of the enemy. "We're wasting our time out here, Sarge." Private Kennison groaned. Dean smiled. "All you do is gripe, Kennison. Maybe you should focus on the task at hand instead of whining." Dean replied. The rest of the squad couldn't hold in their laughs. Humor. Humor was something the Marines cherished. Jokes and funny stories kept their minds off the war, at least momentarily. After a little over an hour of searching, the squad had one building left. Saunders wanted it searched clean. He called his fire team leader, Corporal Kolin "Lucky" Kent over. "I want you, Hathcock, McGee, Kennison, and Thompson to clear that building. It's the last one we have left. I'll take the rest of the squad and we'll go around the back to serve as backup." He told Kent. The Corporal understood, and he took his men and prepared for entry. Dean and the rest of the squad went around to the back of the three-story, rifles at the ready. Dean switched the safety lever of his BR55 from safe to single. He heard Kent give the order to breach, and opened the com channel to his Corporal. "What do you have for me,Kent?"
