The group had taken shelter inside the structure they had seen earlier, and had blockaded the entrance to buy them some time. They had quickly organised a rota for sentry duty, whilst the others slept and gained some rest. Still unsure of the atmosphere composition, as the only member of the group to remove his helmet was presumably dead in the ambush, they had decided to keep the suits on, but watch’s had been randomly chosen in pairs to ensure no-one betrayed them in the night.
The Prophet of Mercy was not sleeping- he was lying on the edge of the group, still smarting about earlier. Not only had that idiot Regret got himself killed, he blew the ambush and revealed that the covenant had infiltrated the UNSC. “I guess if you want anything done properly, you have do it yourself” he grumbled.
He had been keeping a careful eye on the two guards waiting for an opportunity to change the game in his favour. Now seemed like an opportune moment. Moving quietly he crept up on the first guard who seemed to have let tiredness get the better of him. Prophet drew a knife, he was going to do it quietly.
Suddenly a bright light shone on the Prophet.
“Greetings. I am 343 Guilty Spark, monitor of Installation 04” the light said enquistively. The other guard turned round in surprise, and saw Mercy frozen, like a rabbit in headlights, still holding a knife behind the still sleeping guard.
“TRAITOR!” the guard cried rousing the sleeping group.
Prophet tried to run, but didn’t get far as a quick burst from an Assault Rifle hit him in the back.
HappyD was the Prophet of Mercy. The Mafia Ninja Godfather.
Night 2 begin!
