((My apologies everyone. I had initially only planned on delaying another day, to make sure AzureEagle did not wish to make any comments or take any actions. And somehow I ended up neglecting my very own rp. Once again, my deepest and sincerest apologies.))
"Remember, if you see one, do not engage. Call for someone with explosives, their armor's incredibly resilient, but concentrated fire can still hurt them. It's just like hitting someone in platemail with a hammer." This is part of the conversation you hear from white squad as you close in on their position, from some of their other comments it sounds like they're heading your way too and sure enough you run into them, or rather their advanced scout, Ricca. You only see the muzzle of her rifle and the barest part of her head around the corner, she pulls back a moment and you hear her say to the others, via your comm, "Hold." She rushes around the corner, a flash grenade in one hand and her rifle, roughly aimed, at you. Upon realizing it's you she laughs, and calls for the others to move up and join y'all. "We found ourselves a few surviving marines, one of 'em was the one who started the Stone Protocol. Sgt. Mendez, if ya know 'em."

"Oh, right, I suppose I should put this up." She puts the pin back in, hooks the flashbang on her belt, and rushes to embrace you. "Lotis, it's good to see you. I knew you'd survive this shitstorm. Kurugi? I heard your squad was in the hangar when we got hit, I'm glad to see you made it. We might need someone who can fly better than Lotis to get out of here." She says jokingly.

Lotis relaxed when she saw Ricca. However, it was only slightly considering the current situation. When embraced Lotis responded with a light pat, considering she was still holding her Carbine a little. Of course, Ricca's comment hit her rather hard. Normally she'd glare and jokingly run after her. In this case, she found it hard to become serious about that sort of threat. Looking towards Kururugi and Li, she knew there were going to be problems. "If he isn't damaged too much I'll let him." She spoke, one hand touching the fabric of the daisy that had still managed to survive.

Ricca sighed, "Oh come one, Lotis, you know I'm just kidding." She poked Kurugi's forehead. "Although, to be honest, it's looking like he might not have quite survived that hangar business after all." She shrugged and turned back to Lotis, "We ran into one of those walking tanks while it was chewing through Mendez and his boys. We had been doing breaching so we had a flashbang on us and were able to take him down while he was blind, although Jack was nearly taken out by a lucky rocket. I don't see Lance with you, was he not so lucky?"

"Went somewhere during training without a communicator." Lotis spoke, uncertain herself of Lanse's safety. "We don't know where in the base he could be." She seemed to be a bit worried, but said nothing of the sort. She knew the point was to get out of the base. Even without Lanse if they couldn't find him. Hopefully they'd find him somewhere along the way. She readied for their next move.

"We picked up a couple of grenades, of various types, as well as some higher caliber guns from the armory and we also had to make a pit stop at an aid station for Jack, Mendez, and a couple of the other marines." A couple minutes later the rest of white squad and several marines came around the corner. Jack and Mendez are being supported by marines. "As you can see, Jack and Mendez are doped up on morphine at the moment, I've been doing what I could to get us out of here...but now that you're here that makes you the ranking officer. Oh, right if you want a higher caliber rifle Rodriguez has one you can use. So, what's the plan?" She said cheerfully, just before the lights began fading out. It takes a moment, but as you're a sniper and you received more specialized augmentation for vision, your eyes can adjust enough to let you see well enough in the dark. Especially with the aid of the failing sunlight. "Ok, so now it's dark too. Not that it's a major problem for the two of us. So, what's the plan?"

Mission Clock: 22 Minutes

((As Azure Eagle has ceased posting and Halo: Reach comes out in just over 24 hours. I shall dictate and summarize the remaining 22 Minutes. Thank you, everyone, for participating.))
Lotis's group makes their way back to the hangar and use grenades to take out the last rebel in the hangar. Green squad picks up Lance and they make it to the hangar as Lotis is finishing prep for take off. Thus all of the pcs make it safely off Osmia and up to the Leviathan just as two rebel vessels jump into the system. One more transport takes off less than a minute before the facility goes nuclear. The Leviathan launches escort fighters to cover the transport, losing the majority of them due to heavy fire from the rebel vessels, but most of the Squires from your class as well as the pages make it to safety. The class in between was largely wiped out since they were undergoing augmentation when the attack started and two of the rebel troopers' pods landed in that area.

Sgt. Stone, using a crutch, walks into the debriefing room, "You all did me proud out there today. This was but one of many attacks the rebels made, and given your survival, one of their defeats as well. You will be receiving your final augmentations on Reach and from there you will be moved to active duty as Knights and given your first assignments. Get to your bunks and get some rest, you have earned it. Knights dismissed."

Mission Complete.
