Tango Company: Difference between revisions

'''Tango Company''' was a [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[company]] that was stationed on [[Reach]], and participated in the training of the [[Spartan-II]]s. The company's flag was green with a single white star.  

Tango Company was tasked with playing games of capture the flag against the young Spartan-II trainees. As of [[2523|July 14, 2523]] the Spartans and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] had played [[seven]] such games, with Tango Company losing every one of them. Tango Company, tired of constant defeat, stopped playing by the rules. They began using live ammunition and abusing Spartan trainees that they caught in their "territory", such as [[James-005]], whom they claimed had "fallen down a flight of stairs" in their single story jail while being transferred to a different cell. It took James a full week to recover from his injuries. The Marines of the company also began referring to the Spartans as "the freak [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Section Three]] kids".<ref name="multiple">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''pages 157-160''</ref>

Despite the Marines cheating, the Spartans were still victorious, winning once again; this time by infiltrating the base and detonating [[Flashbang grenade|stun grenade]]s beneath Tango company's barracks buildings, inflicting many casualties. Then, neutralizing the guards around the flag pole with [[Narq-dart pistol]]s, the Spartans snatched the flag and hid in the trees. Tango Company sent a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] transport in an effort to trick the Spartans into thinking their exfiltration craft had arrived. But, not fooled, the young supersoldiers once again outsmarted and overcame the hapless Marines.
