Fireteam Phoenix: Operation S&D.
Seth made his way to the Pelican, his eyes scanning the deck for his squad mates. He didn't locate any of them. The Spartan IV placed his S5 sniper rifle on his back, which let out a familiar click. He then got a hold of a M392 Marksman rifle, inspecting it carefully.
Phoenix has very high expectations to meet, Spartan.
Commander Palmer's words echoed in his head. Seth had hopes in his team. He hadn't seen all of them in action, but their files spoke for themselves. He was certain that they weren't going to disappoint.
"Sir, twenty minutes till take off!"
The pilot's voice broke the silence, taking Seth's concentration with it too. "Understood," He replied back, looking back at the deck afterwards.
"Any time now, Phoenix."
