"Take cover in the rocks!" Mek shouted as he drove the warthog back to where the small camp was set up.<br/><br/>A covenant drop ship swung into position over the marines and rained plasma down on him. The two marines from Mek's warthog took off and dove under cover beneath the boulders, leaving Kirche unconcious on the back of the warthog. Cursing, Mek threw the sargeant onto his back and got under cover just in time. The warthog was hit by some plasma and burst into flames behind him.<br/><br/>"Get on the radio," Mek grabbed a marine. "Find out where the Hell everybody is. NOW!"<br/><br/>A marine turned the dial on his radio and broadcast to all open channels: "This is crash site of pod tri-beta-charlie. If you can hear me, please respond."
