/// Coalition Operations IV: Monsters of the Past \\\
In the events on LV-1201, it was learned that the call for help was little more than an elaborate scheme orchestrated by General Vasili Rykov, leader of the Iron Bears mercenary group, to draw Viktor Horgus to the planet and kill him. The call was made under the pretense of getting off-world aid to deal with a present Xenomorph infestation. With Viktor and his team planetside, Rykov put his plan into motion, killing Viktor - or so it appeared - and trying to lure the rest into a trap they could not escape from. However, Viktor and the team soon discovered evidence of deception and a plot to frame them for LV-1201's eventual destruction. It was a close call, but Viktor, after being separated from his team, managed to link back up with them and get them to safety in orbit before the massive reactors powering Weyland-Yutani's colony on LV-1201 blew - a result of Rykov's sabotage. Rykov attempted to escape, on a stolen UNSC Cruiser, but his ship was quickly overpowered, boarded, and captured. Rykov died at Viktor's hands, unwilling to surrender.
In the aftermath, files aboard Rykov's ship's computers detailed an operation to salvage Forerunner tech on one of the remaining Halo Rings, dubbed "Gamma Halo". The United Sangheili Republic, having volunteered to watch over the rings to ensure that they could never fall into the wrong hands - and that no one could accidentally release the Flood parasites contained within - was furious to learn of this illegal operation. Unfortunately, given recent conflicts, the Sangheili are unable to dispatch a battle group to deal with this operation. So, they have called for outside assistance.
So this is the situation: You are among those assembled to deal with the remnants of the Iron Bears and their operation. Your goal is two-fold: One, to shut down this operation. If force is necessary to eliminate it, then so be it; Two, to ensure that the Iron Bears do not release the Flood Parasites, and if they do, deal with them as quickly as you can. The UNSC has asked to assist, and the Sangheili have obliged. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown when the UNSC forces will arrive, so until they do, you and yours are on your own.
Dismissed.
/// RULES \\\
Standard RP rules apply. If you don't know what those rules are, go read them before joining this RP. Apart from that:
No overpowered weapons.
No overpowered armor. Armor similar to Mjolnir armor is acceptable at max.
Work as a team, do not antagonize each other. More of a suggestion than a rule.
Ships. I don't mind you all using ships of your own, but please - nothing vastly overpowered.
Posting order will be such that you can post anytime, but not until everyone else has posted that's still involved. Exceptions are when either another player hasn't posted in 48 hours or if they leave.
