A great flaming rocket crashed through a burned out building in the center of Old New York. It stopped just at the edge of the 33rd floor, and a single figure jumped out. "THOSE BASTARDS!" Jakeman screamed. "I SPEND 3 WEEKS IN LIMBO, AND I AM THROWN INTO THE WRONG TIMEFRAME! GRAH!" He looked around, and he saw a broken and shattered Earth, under complete Covenant occupation. "Oh damn it, this is so wrong, so very very wrong... What will I do?" As if it knew, his radio starting picking up random chatter.
"Echo 3 to Echo 5, come in Han old buddy."
"Echo 5, go ahead Luke."
"There was a meteorite that crashed just near here, I'm gonna go check it out."
Jakeman was very confused by this. Rebels, maybe fighting the Covenant? He opened a channel with the Rebels. "Come in Echo 3, this is UNSC ODST Staff Sergeant Jakeman. I want a sitrep, and I want to know where the damned hell I am!"
"ODST this is Echo 3, I want your full serial number and authenitcation codes. Transmit them over this radionet. Now. You are interfering with a black ops mission against the Covenant." Echo 3 replied.
"Fuck. You. I want my sitrep!"
"Earth is occupied, the Fleet is destroyed, the Marine Corps is utterly obliterated. We are all thats left. Now sit down, shut up and enjoy hell!" Echo 3 shouted. Jakeman thought to himself So, he strapped himself in once more, and praying that the random Hero called Ryan knew his stuff, he hit the ignition.
At that very moment, a Nuclear explosion filled the Old New York night sky.
