PIIIIIIIPE WREEEEEENCH FIIIIIIIIIGHT

Who| Wash and others
What| Murderworld. So much Murderworld.
Where| All over the arena - locations are in toplevels
When| Murderworld! Late day 1, all of day 2, and early day 3
Warnings/Notes| Violence for days. Most of these have been planned using the almighty spreadsheet - if you want to plan something, feel free to poke me on plurk!

Get pulled from a perfectly benign covert mission to be thrown into a bad Hunger Games ripoff run by someone with zero sense of style or humor. Survive, probably on his own, until help comes or he manages to escape. Sure. Okay.

What could possibly go wrong?

It's not the first time the Chief has been teleported somewhere upside-down, but at least with Cortana it had been an accident. He's up and moving again almost immediately. Narrow halls, organic in nature. It's not a Flood hive, it cannot be a Flood hive, but a whole slew of recently developed instincts about this kind of thing are screaming at him anyway.

RNGesus Arcade at least saw fit to give him a motion tracker. He tested it during the ultimately failed desert convoy and at least knows that it works, so at least he has that.

...Which indicates something is coming this way. Excellent. He still has the backward-firing gun he was given, and though he can theoretically fire the thing in a useful direction if he holds it right it only has one shot.

At least he's probably faster than a mercenary tribute. Or even most animals. He decides to face whatever's coming up this hall head on and steps around the corner.

"The place could be better," says the Chief, giving his head a little ceilingward toss to indicate the tunnels.

As always, his delivery is perfectly flat and serious. But it's still a joke, and still Chief for 'it's nice to see you too'. Wash is moving and talking and seems to be as alright as the circumstances allow, and that's a status report the Chief's happy to have.

A motion tracker is also no replacement for a teammate when fighting in narrow places.

"Where did you find that?" he asks, eyeing the plasma blaster speculatively. It's not that the Chief doesn't think he can get them the hell out of here as is, but it could certainly be easier.

The Chief looks at Wash, it's as good as a what and the explanation only sort of helps. Something has to have happened to provoke that, it's not a steady or okay response. Where has Wash been and what happened to him?

He wants to know, but they really should get going first.

"The tunnels slope," he says as he starts moving. "Probably underground. We go up, we find the surface."

At least in theory. He hopes he's right. Nothing good comes from places like this and he'd much rather get out of all these blind corners.

"Tell me about the tribute."

When Wash pauses to shrug, the Chief nods. He knows exactly what he means, there's only one right thing to do when presented with that.

"And then you got split up," he says, because of course. They can't have people working together, can they? It doesn't make for a good show. Arcade must be a very busy guy right now.

"We're going to find Arcade. He can only slow us down for so long. Then he'll get his."

It's a declaration of intent with the determination that destroyed Alpha Halo behind it. The Chief can be teleported and shot at and chased and boxed in, but he does not stop until the mission is carried out. He may not know how he's going to do it yet, but he is going to find the bastard and he is going to finish this.

There's a slight breeze up ahead, and the tunnel widens into a room where another tunnel forks off, straight down into the floor and up into the ceiling. The sides, ridged like some kind of architectural trachea, slope off rapidly into the blackness. The floor shudders a little and air rushes through the chamber, like the whole complex is breathing. It trips their motion trackers, several blips lighting up as the organic walls shift above and below them.

...Except one of them doesn't disappear as the tunnels settle.

Shit.

The Chief takes the blaster and belts the crap Arcade gave him. He may be forced to find a use for that eventually. What Wash handed him isn't exactly a Covenant weapon, but the principle's the same and the shooting end is obvious.

The thing that's got him is that sound.

He knows that sound. The Chief has a good memory for noises that mean terrible things. Apparently, this even applies to terrible things that are supposed to be fictional.

"Arcade just shouldn't watch movies."

The blip stays in the center of this room, but the tracker doesn't indicate whether it's descending or ascending and the Chief steps the fuck back from the pit. Shit.
