Hello Mafia Returns! I have decided to finally post something in the streets. Its not at all impressive, I know, I didn't have much time, i'm busy with....stuff. Do not enjoy:

<strong>August 8th, 2598
<em>Zaeto Station</em> Orbital Defense Platform
MAC AA Gun Bridge
47,678 Kilometers from Earth

36:00:02 Hours until unknown Attack</strong>

"Nothing can be done Colonel. We have to get moving before the night arrives." a voiced spoke. "Yes sir, I understand. I'll go let the boys down stairs know." another voice replied.Floating calmly and seemingly motionless, the Orbital Defense Platform designated, Zaeto Station, hovered slowly over the sea of Japan from Space. Sitting in the commanding chair of the Orbital Space Station was Fleet Admiral Robert McManos. Directly under his command was 5 Star General Emmanuel Graham. The two men walked down the halls until they reached MAC Gun's main bridge of command. At the controls of the extremely large weapon was Brigadier General Eli Collins. BGen. Collins had earned an extraordinary Medal of Honor for his valor during the New Incursion, and was being considered for promotion, unknown to his knowledge. As FAdm. McManos and Gen. Graham walked down the halls of the large Station, they began to converse about BGen. Collin's promotion ceremony, set to take place in a few days. They reached the bridge soon enough, and were immediately greeted by Eli and his men."At ease Brigadier. Hows the status?" McManos asked Eli."Thank you. Coming well sir. We are about 8% away from 100% power." Eli replied."Good Brigadier. I expect to see you ASAP tomorrow for your new briefing. We clear?" said General Graham."Understood sir. I'll be there, six o'clock sharp." replied Collins."Excellent. Alright gentlemen, continue your work." FAdm McManos ordered.The crew at the MAC Gun returned to their work as Eli and his right hand man, Strike Commander Artemus Barrington and his apprentice, Captain Leo Manning. The three men had just checked into the hangar from the MAC Gun bride to inform everyone where they would be. They hopped into a dismantled Pelican and laughed with each other as they drank beers together and took a break from their work. Approaching them quickly was Corporal J.J. Hennings and two other soldiers."Hey fellas!!! Hows it going?" J.J. yelled."Heya J.J. Its actually going good for once. Almost got the MAC Gun back online." Eli replied."Nice job, nice job. So Art; how you holding up?" J.J. asked Commander Barrington."Swell J.J., just swell. Thanks for asking. Anyways, you obviously know something, so spill it." Artemus barked at Corporal Hennings."Well... I heard that you were up for promotion Eli; and that Fleet Admiral McManos was exceptionally impressed with you lately, so he is supposed to be planning a promotion ceremony for you in the next few days." J.J. told them."Wow. Well, I don't know if I can trust you last time after, you know, that little trip to the Killian..." Eli said."Haha, true! Well, Sarge is looking for us, we better be going. Catch you all later." J.J. and the other two troopers waved and walked off."Alright J.J.! See you later. Man, I don't believe it. This better not be more BS." ELi said to Art."Yeah, lets hope. Well, lets go. C'mon Leo, so silent." Artemus said to Eli and Leo.Artemus, Eli and Leo then walked a long few ways to the top of the Station, to the Communications center. Eli contacted Rear Admiral Hugo Levers. Rear Admiral Levers serves as Eli's direct mode of reinforcements in the UNSC. Admiral Levers sends in all of Eli's ODST forces, and extra forces when needed from the Navy, down to the Marine battlefields. As the two get into conversing, they are unaware of what lies in their wake.

Good story, mate, but this belongs in the Outside area.

Yeah, found that out the semi-hard way. Thanks anyways though :)
