Thanks.

[Scene 2: Inside Elongation, blue base, opposite red base spawn point. The camera starts off facing the blue base side opposite the red spawn point, where we see two spartans standing. One is completely blue, with the elblem on the arm being one of a steel color square with a white cross running from corner to corner. The second spartan is of different colors; with the main body being a faint teal and the elbow and knee patches being a bright blue. He has a similar elblem on his arm, except that it is a single red bar running from left to right on the steel square. The whispers of a conversation can be heard amongst the two, but it is not discernable. The camera zooms out a bit and pans to the left, stopping at the ramp. The spartan with the cross emblem turns and walks off to another pair of spartans nearby, both also blue – however their emblems are not discernable. Dr. Gregory's voice starts to play as the audio log starts off. His voice and tone is bouyant; full of energy that was not present in the final audio log we heard earlier.]
[Dr. Gregory's Monologue]: “Well, I guess this would be the first day's log, so may as well get started. As you may or may not know, my name is Dr. Gregory, the designated field doctor for the spartans. Although it may seem hard to believe that the spartans required field doctors, one must realize that my role here, although primarily to serve the requirements of the team, is also to provide support to other terran troops that we may encounter. Too often the previous group of spartans have been forced to leave behind marines due to severe injury from fighting the Covenant, and losses have been unacceptably high....which is where command seems to think I can do something.
[The camera starts to move up the ramp slowly as the Doctor's monologue continues. A spartan comes down the ramp, his armor teal in color and the emblem with one cross from the left top side to the right bottom side as opposed to the single bar seen earlier.]
[Dr. Gregory's Monologue]: “but that was several months ago. Our training was almost complete; we were onboard the UNSC Arcas and supposed to be heading to each for additional equipping with the new Mjnolir suits....these were supposed to be brand new and still in the prototype stage, with remarkable improvements over the already-new Mark VII suits. Well, at least that was the original plan.”
[The camera reaches the top of the ramp with the large space. Nobody is standing here. It pans to the left, revealing a panoramic view of space, and that of a nearby moon.]
[Dr. Gregory's Monologue]:”But then, Reach fell, and now, everything has changed. ONI called us back towards Earth immediately....we were supposed to jump immediately out once we got to Reach, and to an unchartered destination first....but, well, that didn't go
exactly to plan – we did get in, we did jump out immediately, and for the moment, we are safe in the Triax system....the bad thing is....we're
stuck in the Triax system. From the moment we exited, we encountered fierce Covenant resistance – to the extent that we are now the last ship left in the fleet that jumped here. All the others were destroyed in the initial ambush. Captain Raynolds has ordered us to go into silent running in an attempt to evade detection and it seemed to have worked so far..The Covenant haven't spotted us....
yet, but I fear that this may change sooner or later. God know what they are doing though – the planet only has one usable system, Triax I; a planet of varying extremes. It has a small human presence, but for some strange reason, the Covenant have not destroyed it outright, like they have to every other human presence so far.]
[The Camera starts to move past the open space and down the hall, where we see two Spartans talking. One can be recognized as Dr. Gregory, while the other is an unknown spartan who's armor is a steel grey color. The elblem on his arm is similar to the cross seen earlier – except this one has a line running vertically in the centre as well, indicating seniority.]
[Dr. Gregory's Monologue]: “But as I was going to find out, peace never lasts for long. At the time, Senior Chief Sunder was briefing me on the modified armor the Arcas' engineers have made for me.”
[The camera focuses in to the Chief, freezing everything right there.]
[Dr. Gregory]: “Senior Chief Sunder is the Spartan's overall leader. Whenever ONI or the UNSC have to give an assignment to them, they go through him. He is pretty much in command here; not that I am complaining. During our training and such, the chief earned his place at the top, and he uses his powers wisely and diligently. I haven't spoken to him much, but the chief mostly stays quite and reserved when there isn't much going on. But when the activity starts to flare up, I don't know which fires faster – the submachine guns he carries, or the orders that he can boom out across even the loudest battlefield. He's also a crackpot sniper; second only to Chris when it comes to accuracy. Sunder's led us through some tough times, and from the looks of it, he's not going to have any trouble taking us through whatever is going to happen next.”
[The monologue fades away as the camera zooms in to the conversation]
[Senior Chief Sunder]: Allright then, you understand everything I've told you, Doc?
[Dr. Gregory]: (looking around a bit and waving the Covenant plasma pistol he is holding]:Yes, I have...however, I have just one more question.
[Senior Chief Sunder]: Shoot then.
[Dr. Gregory] (looking down a bit and waving the pistol as well): Why a plasma pistol, of all things? Why not something actually effective; like a plasma rifle or a covenant carbine? I feel utterly useless with this!
[Senior Chief Sunder] (after sighing a bit): That's cause it's the only working Covenant weapon we have onboard. We're lucky this was an ONI ship, or it wouldn't have one at all. Anyways, I'd think it's worth it. Your suit now holds enough medical scanning and emergency equipment to allow you to do field surgeries and the like without having to come back to a proper medlab. But, as you know, the suit's power packs had to be removed to accommodate the equipment – we were lucky the engineers aboard managed to figure out how to use the Covenant plasma cells.
[Sunder pauses for a second, before continuing]
[Senior Chief Sunder]: Although it doesn't seem like much, you better keep a death grip on that pistol, otherwise all your suit's life support equipment, shields and just about everything will run out after just 2 to 3 minutes. As long as that pistol is plugged in through your arm's power cords, you should be allright.
[Dr. Gregory sighs a bit, but Sunder cuts him off again.]
[Senior Chief Sunder]: “look, I know it's not much, but realize this: once we get a plasma rifle or a larger weapon, you should be able to use it effectively. Although you will have to be carefull – excessive use -”
[Dr. Gregory cuts him off, his tone somewhat annoyed]
[Dr. Gregory]: “-will drain the total power avialable; yes sir, I am aware of that.”
[Senior Chief Sunder]: “Well then, other than that there isn't much. If there are no other questions, I have to get going to see the captain – he says he wants to see me ASAP.”
[Dr. Gregory]: “Yes sir.”
[Sunder turns and slowly walks down the ramp. The camera focuses on him till he disappears out of sight. It then cuts to face the doctor. For a second, everything is silent. Then we hear a low 'pssst' coming from somewhere to the doctor's right and behind. The camera turns right and focuses on another spartan wielding a sniper rifle, that walks up behind the doctor. The spartan is also teal in color, the emblem on his arms being that of two red bars running on a steel grey background.]
[Unknown Spartan]: “So Doc, how'd the operation go? You must be pretty annoyed that you didn't get to be the one with the sharp and pointy instrument this time.”
[The camera cuts back to Dr. Gregory]
[Dr. Gregory] (sighing, his tone conveying a general sense of annoyance): “That's not exactly very funny, Chris.”
[The camera cuts to Chris, and freezes for a second, and Dr. Gregory's monologue starts off again.]
[Dr. Gregory]: “And that would be Chris, our crackpot sniper. If there is one thing he loves doing, it's bragging about how good a sniper he is. There is litlte we can do to get back at him though – he IS a crackpot sniper. If you tossed a coin a hundred yards away and asked him to shoot it and hit the heads side, not only would he say ok, but also ask you which side you want hit. That, and he'd be able to pull it off as well. It's like he and that sniper rifle are inseperable – hell, he even sleeps with it, regardless if it's peace time or not. Almost always But when it comes to any assault role though, he fumbles like ****. Although he's a master with the sniper rifle, he couldn't hit the broad side of a Covenant tank even with a damn shotgun! Give him a pistol, and there's a bigger chance of him hitting a team mate in the foot than him hitting anything else. I can't count the number of times I've had to extract a bullet from someone else when the combat came up close and he panicked with the pistol. Its bad enough that before we go into battle, we make sure to fill his pistol with blanks or at least empty the first clip, not to mention earned him the nickname of 'TK' on the battlefield as well.”
[The Camera unfreezes and cuts back to Dr. Gregory]
[Dr. Gregory]: “Uncomfortable engineering procedures aside, what are you doing here Chris? Don't tell me you shot someone with that pistol again!”
[Camera cuts back to Chris, who simply laughs nervousely and then pauses.]
[Chris]: “Ummmm.......Nope....at least, I hope not.”
[Camera cuts back to Dr. Gregory, who sighs and looks down before cutting back to Chris.]
[Chris]: “Relax Doc – I think my pistol was filled with defective ammo or something – at least I didn't notice any holes in the walls. Anyway, that's not the reason I was here. I was hoping to ask – have you heard anything recently?”
[Camera cuts to view both men from Dr. Gregory's right side.]
[Dr. Gregory]: “Hear anything about what?”
[Chris]: “Oh...you know....any rumours or news about our current situation...basically anything.”
[Dr. Gregory]: “.......Something's going, isn't it?”
[Chris.]: “Maybe. I've just heard from a reliable source that the Captain picked up a signal coming from the planet below – a
human signal. From the looks of it, there are survivors down there.....”
[Dr. Gregory]: “What the....? Survivors? So
thats why the Captain called the Chief up.”
[Chris]: “He just called him up? Now that's kind of late.”
[Dr. Gregory]: “Maybe, but maybe not – I bet the chief already knows about this, but just needs to confirm it. If it is true, that means we'll be headed down in a rescue mission, assuming we can launch the Pelicans without being detect-”
[The scene turns red as sirens begin to blare, cutting off the doctor mid-sentence. The camera cuts to face chris, before cutting to the doctor. ]
[Siren]: “Attension all hands! The Covenant have detected us! Now making a crash landing on the planet – everyone, hang on, this is going to be a rough landing.”
[The camera cuts to near the centre belts where several Spartans are seen running around and crouching nearby, bracing themselves. Before cutting back to Chris and the Doctor as they speak in Unision.]
[Dr. Gregory, Chris]: “hoooooly ****!”
[The Camera fades out as the Sirens blare out louder. A whining sound can be heard, before a few seconds later, a large explosion issues out from somewhere.]
