*TAP TAP TAP*
"Hey yo JP wake up", tez said slapping the side of the hard metallic shell that JP sat in.  JP's head shot up and his body startled into place as he looked up and saw Tez staring at him with an arched eyebrow and slightly twisted facial features.  "You aight man?" tez asked lloking at his teamate with concern.
"y-yeah" Jp stammered bringing his hands up to rub his face from the images that had just flooded his mind. "I'm good".
"Well you better be man." Tez said as the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, "ETA is 5 minutes and we need to be ready.  This is the last test man, afterwards we're in and i'll be damned if we lose the shot at the new SPARTAN program cuz you....."
"Yeah yeah yeah," JP broke in with a smile, "You just ake sure you and those other two fools are ready when we hit the ground, I'll handle my end."
"Aight then man you do that" He slammed the casing shut and continued on to Vic and Mikey's pods before going into his own and securing it closed as they wiaited for the drop zone.  Tez had been in charge of pre mission preparations this time arond and he seemed to be maintaining a good job of keepingthe crew in order for the job that was to come.  JP shook his head and looked up at the black padding that kept the capsule insulated.  'i gotta get in the game', he thought to himself as he attempted to clear out the ideas that the daydream had created in his head.
The com in his ear buzzed as the oter squad members all tuned into the same frequency.  "You guys all here right?" Tez inquired into his com.
"READY TO GO" Vic yelled over the com.
"Not so loud man," Mikey yawned over the communication channel with a tired sound.  
"Yeah," Tez agreed into his mic, "we need to stay sharp.  How about you JP you sure you aight"
"Just lemme know where to shoot," JP said calmly.  his eyes closed as Tez briefed him on the mission.  
The final training for the last of the Neo Spartan program was intentionally set up to seem like a cakewalk.  However the COs in charge of this mission had been trained well enough to know to shoot on sight.  Most had very high awards in marksmanship and the others were considered tactical geniuses in their fields.  The job of fireteam Wolfwood, at its essence, ws to deliver a bomb into the heart of the tactial training facility known as Zenith and to arm it for detonation. The mountainous region was filled with trees and other places of ambush but the key structure was the giant conical pyramid that sat in the very center.  It was made espressly for the purpose of deeper training for the soldiers in the Spartan programs and for their testing purposes.  Many areas seemed to be ideal for sniper nests or bunker encampment, but most doubted it would be quite that simple once they arrived and as this group would soon find out, these thoughts were absolutely right.  
"Alright boys," Tez called out over the com, "make me proud"
"Hellz yeah", Vic responded.
The hatches below them slid away the four metallic slate grey pods were released into the open air from the Pelican.  Each member felt his body become enveloped in the feeling of freefall and the increased acceleration created by the cyllindrical object spiralling downward.  the increased velocity created an odd pressure against the human body until one by one, the pods slammed into the earth below.  Vic was the first to peel out of the pod.  The top of it unscrewed with a hiss and he came over the top, scanning around for any enemy contact.  He tapped the com twice to give the signal for all clear and one by one they all came out.  
Each man stood in their standard grey fatigues scanning outward into the mountainous region surrounding the LZ.  The clear blue sky aboove was beautiful and the thin wispy clouds that solid over head made the world ll the more scenic but none of these were a concern for them, as they all checked the bands on their wrists to make sure the bomb program was loaded.  
"OK here's the deal," Vic said looking at the terrain to find any sort of advantage.  "We'll attack from all sides.  Jp takes the east route, Mikey takes the west shot, Tez takes north and I'll go from here.  any of the Co's you take down will most likely be carrying weaponry.  take em down, and take the weapons with you.  NO ONE MOVES TILL WE'RE ALL IN POSITION"  They all nodded in acknowledgement and the three broke off in different directions as Vic moved into a hiding position.  'It'll be awhile before they're in position and the CO's will be here soon to check out the ruckus.  i gotta be ready.'
