He took a drink. "Now about this ONI thing. They wished to talk to you about the covenant, since this is a new enemy they want a first-hand account of there fighting style. That's it." He leaned over toward the small holotank. "Tela, initiate the jump to slipspace."
"Yes commander."
"Thats it. Dissmissed." Before same could exit though he said one more thing. "Watch it when dealing with ONI...there a tricky bunch."

Sam turned to the spartan and saluted him, "He wanted to tell me ONI wanted to speak with me about Covenant tactics and proceedure. Strange they can never get enough information even though we have been fighting them for years now. Well when they come I will give my report of the situation. Better watch out spartan, they will come after you too, heh."

1 Day Later
The Omni exited slipspace just a few miles away from Reach. They closed in on the spacedock, the ship slowed, stopped then the airlock tube connected. After it was completed officers and soldiers disembarked.
John however was still on the bridge.
"As an extended order everyone is ordered to take a full weeks R&R. Unless we are needed for immeaditate departure." John walked off hte Omni. He walked to a window and took one last look at hte ship. It had been hit hard. F-deck was completly gone. The fact of the mater was it was a glancing hit, if it was direct hit...well he might not even be here anymore. He picked up his duffle bag and walked to the elevator.

Sam, wearing his civilian clothes which was a black t-shirt with black jeans, walked with a duffle bag of his personal items. He was forced to leave his weapons, as all were issued, on the ship. He was thinking of aquiring a 9mm pistol for defence. Reach City, the capitol of reach, was known for its rough times. But if he learned anything from growing up in NYC it was his street smarts and strength. He walked to the military check out counter and gave the secretary his I.D. card and said, "Egale, Sam. Reach City, Downtown please." The secretary nodded and asked, "Would you like me to reserve you a hotel room for the week soldier?" He answered, "Yes please, a single." She proccesed the request and a civilian shuttle arrived a moment later and took a score of people, mostly soldiers, to downtown Reach City.

the elevator stopped on the hangar floor. He walked to the front desk. He presented his I.D. card to the secretary. "Weber, Johnathan, Fort Laramie."
"Very well" She handed him a ticket" "Right through here please."
"He took the ticket and entered the door. He took a seat near the middle and unbuttoned the top of his colar.

((so are we gonna play through the R&R or just parts or just skip it or what...i want an opinion. i was thinkin that we play through 2-4 days and then we go back on duty. What do you all want))
Sam walked the streets of downtown Reach City. He loved the sounds and smells of the big city. He saw the 900 story building that he was staying in. He walked through the lobby and stepped up to the desk. He got his key number transfered to his PDA. He noticed he had recieved a new Vid from FLEETCOM. He opened it. A luetinate of some kind flicked to the screen and he said, "This is Luetinate Phoff, reporting that due to your acts of bravery in saving 3 Scorpian tank operators you have been nominated for the Congressional Medal of Bravery. You have also been issued a new rank. Your new official rank is Corpal. The 501st Mobil Infantry has been assigned to the UNSC omni. You will be expected to report there exactly one week from now. Phoff out." The mans image faded from the screen. He closed the file and nodded proudly. He was now a corpal. Not to many new command advantages. He would be one of 10 under 6 sargents who are under 3 lutinates who are under 2 1st luetinates who are under 1 major who commands just one of the 500 platoons in the 501st mobile infantry. He would slowly work his way up. Sam continued to his room on the 756 floor. He entered the room, threw his bag on a chair, and layed out on the bed to watch some T.V.. "Another gang war in L.A. nothing new..."

((Yeah that sounds good. I did'nt really want to do an entire week. Some one just has to do "4 days later" or sumthing))
On his way down he got a call.
"Hello?"
"Commander Weber, this is captain Needa. I just wanted to see if youd be intrested in attendinga dinner in honor of our newest victory?"
"Yeah that'd be great."
"Good see you at 20:00 hours."
He went to the balll it was allright but othere than that it was pretty bland. That was two days ago tommorow he would be shipping out for Sigma Octanus. He packed his bags and and fell asleep.

((You can decide when exactly we go back to active service))
Sam spent his first day just lounging around. He decided to walk the streets of Reach. He always wanted to see Reach and the army gave him the chance. He left his hotel room to walk down town. After a few hours of wandering around one of the sidewalks stories in the sky it began to get dark. He started to walk home. He heard footsteps behind him. He turned quickly to see no one. He turned back to walk down the stairs to the elivator when a man in leather punched him across the jaw. Instinctivly he grabbed one of the mans arms, broke it, and threw him behind his sholder. He turned quickly and pressed his knee to his neck. Sam released the man and he ran screaming with his arm dangling unaturaly. He quckly moved to the elivator which took him to the lowest level of the city. He entered his room and went to sleep.

((Well were going to start now.))
He exited the shuttle. John grabbed his bag and wen to the elevator. He pressed the button for the docking bay, and waited. The doors opened and he walked through the airlock tube. He entered the bridge and sat in his chair.
"Status?"
Akira turned around in her chair. "The ship had a complete refit. All decks recieved repairs and not to mention the best part...our A.I. got upggraded."
Tela appered on her pad. "Though I don't see why I was perfectly fine hte way I ways." She crossed her arms.
"I know you were." John sat up straighter. "All are personel on board.'
"No we still have 10 minutes till we leave."
"All right then...seems like were squared away."

Sam, who had already boarded the ship, was cleaning his weapons and making sure his body armor was in tip top shape. His seargant entered the room. He and the other privates and corpals snapped to attention as he strolled down the isle inspecting his squad. He stopped at Sam and looked him over and continued down the isle. He said the mission was not told yet. He belives that they will be on a rutine rebel search and destroy but there orders were not clear. The top brass would tell the captain of the ship the ship would tell the general in charge of the 501st and then the majors and then on down the chain of command. Once the Sarge had left Sam continued weapons inspection.

"attention all personell we are now leaving."
The ship detached and pulled through the spacedock. The ship accelerated, moved away and tore a hole in slipspace.
"ETA?"
"48 hours, comander." Tela replied.
"Excellent..."

Sam felt the ship enter slipstream space. He saw it was nearly lunch time so he decided to grap some food at the mess hall. He entered the room and saw it was full. He got in line, grabbed at tray, and recived his food. He sat at a table with a few other marines he knew from basic training. They talked a bit and continued eating. "So you know anything about that captain?" To which his friends answered, "No man, Seems good though. Heard he survived 6 covenant engagements. Some cant survive one let alone 6 heh..." Sam chukled and continued to eat his 'mashed taters n beans'.

Xavier was really anxsious to get some action, he saw Sam sitting down to eat but didnt go, he just went over and checked all his weapons. He had his modified battle rifle he made himself and a regular 9MM pistol. He was walking back and forth reading all his tactics that were downloaded in him. He kept reviewing it, he didnt want to make a mistake like last time.

Sam had finnished eating when he heard it. "All combat personal secure a weapon and prepair to repel boarders, this is not a drill!" Sam looked at his friends and they all got up and ran to the barracks and strapped on there armor and loaded there weapons. The captains voice echoed through the ship "Rebel forces are preparing to board in dock Alpha, I want S-15 to hold position there and repel boarders. All spartans on board are to guard major ship functions, and explosive materials. The rebels are notorius for sabatoge. Over" S-15 was Sams squad. Alpha dock was a heavy longsword fighter and bomber holding area. They would be in battle in space so there would be plenty of room to set up armor and tri-pod guns. The dock was devised into 6 large two story bays. All 200 members of S-15 ran down the halls of the ship to set up defenses in the long docking bay.

X heard the orders, he took his weapons and saw Sam going toward the same direction as he was. "So you ready for this Sam, you better not die because Im going to put a show for you"

Sam chuckled as they turned the corner and continued down the hall, "yeah man no worries. I have been thinkin...do you think I should make this my career? Become an officer, tavel the world, kill covenant." They entered the dock and peered out the reinforced hanger bay windows. A rebel super carrier, which was out of date but still effective, released its fighters. They then set up the armor, and tri-pod guns and awaited the boarders.
