(West of the remains of Base Alpha)

Nikolai stands over Hollow Tyrant. The antagonist is unconscion but breathing. Nikolai is holding a pistol in his hand. He looks at the suit that he is wearing and sees that it is a life support suit. He also takes of Hollow's helmet and then puts it back on to see if he is really Blake.

Nikolai "I am not going to kill you..." He puts his pistol down but then starts to rapidly punch at Hollow's chest until the life support system says

"Excessive damage to the chest piece and other necessary components.  Powering down in 10 minutes."

Nikolai stands up straight and says "But I don't have to save you either."

Nikolai walks away, leaving his best friend without a working life support suit and heat source in the grueling cold weather. He walks towards Alpha base content with himself. For the first time in a long time he is at peace in his soul.

Nikolai "Come on now.  Don't look back.  What ever you do, Nikolai, don't look back.  He will only haunt you in your memories if you do and I need to move on with my life."

=======================================================

(East of Hollow Tyrant's body.)

Vladmir Reznov holds on for dear life as his escape pod drops. He looks at the faces of the Sanheili that are with him. He respects these beasts for following the him and the Chat even if that means a harder life and even some persecution from their brothers. The bod eventually comes to its careful stop and he and the elites unstrap themselves.

Vladmir "I am going to call for an evacuation.  Until then my commanders have just told me to search for a wounded commander east of this postition.  I have his tracker ID on this device"  He indicates his TACPAD "and so I will know right where to find him.  I won't be gone long."

The Elite Ultra, who is in charge of the other elites, nods and they go inside the escape pod for warmth. Vladmir grabs some food rations, two elites, and some medical supplies before heading out.

After a long and treacherous walk he is frozen to the core but he has made it to Hollow Tyrant's body. He looks around and only sees the ramshackle Alpha base in the distance. He checks Hollow Tyrant's signs of life and finds they are near death.

Vladmir "Quick.  You ranger.  I need you to take off your heated airtight suit and put it on this man.  He is worth ten of you so don't hesitant."

The Ranger Elite does so and Vladmir checks Hollow Tyrants Vital signs after a while.

Vladmir "Good.  He is stabalized.  Lets carry him back to the escape pod for evac." The elites do so and they make the cold journey back to the escape pod. When they arrive they find a Chat dropship had landed and the elites were massacred.

Vladmir "What is this?!"

Chat soldier "We saw elites from the scouting fleet of Generous Distrubtion and we took care of them for you, Vladmir."

Vladmir "You imbecle!  They had vital information that I needed and they were our allies!" Vladmir takes out his pistol to kill the man but the two elites beat him too it. One stabs him in the stomach and the other cuts off his arms with their energy swords. The other chat soldiers in the dropship see this and engage the trio. They are quick killed.

The pilot tries to start the dropships and after a frew cranks it starts right up. But it is too late. The two elites had already boarded it and were cutting their way through Chat soldiers in the fuselage. The ship rises ever higher. The Elites make it to the pilot and kill him but then discover they don't know how to pilot the ship and try to get out. But the ship is already in a tail spin by the time they get to the back and they are lost in the chaos of being trapped inside of the ship.

After Vladmir kills the last of the Chat soldiers he watchs as the ship crashes.

Vladmir "These people are fricking idiots.  They just destroyed my vital intel and my way to a heated room."

He calls for another evac and he and Hollow Tyrant are taken to Chat base Alpha where Hollow Tyrant is treated again.
