The Spartans arrived on the landing zone relatively quick. The fire team took their first steps out of the pelican and they realized that they had been dropped off in a dense, lush, green forest.
“Ok team does anyone know how far away we are from the objective?” asked Shining Armour
Twilight already prepared, had instantly tried to familiarize herself with the surroundings and said “The objective is only to click south from here” stated Twilight.
“Good job Twily, if that’s so, Dash go scout ahead and report your findings”
“Yes sir!” Said Dash enthusiastically, like a lightning bolt Dash quickly disappeared into the dense shrubbery of the forests canopy.  
Although focused on the mission Fluttershy couldn’t help, but gaze in awe and intriguement at the forest that was teeming with life.
“Just look at this planet, it’s just beautiful” 
“It’s quite a spectacle isn’t it” replied Discord 
“Indeed” nodding with agreement 
“Who knew that the forerunners got sent to such nice places when they did bad things, I think I would’ve fit in quite nicely with them” Discord thought to himself.
“Y’know it might look better with some fire and some dead covenant everywhere”
“NOO!” wailed Fluttershy.
Discord burst out into laughter “I’m teasing you!” Discord wiped a little bit of liquid pride from his eye.
“you're Just a Meany Discord” Fluttershy said with a humph  
“Spartans try to stay focused on the objective; I think we’re getting close to having our first look at the Covenants position.”
“Hey guys up here!”
The Spartans looked up and saw Dash was up on a ledge just above them.
“The coves are this way, follow me” Dash ran back into the vantage point and her team mates followed.
“So here it is the covenants position, I’ve been watching it for a little while now and you can see there’s a big spire in the middle that’s emitting a force field that protects it from any incoming fire, now if we could get inside we could disable the shield we could get a bit of assistance from the infinity or another fire team.”
“Right I get that, but how are we going to infiltrate the shield there’s no passing through it unless it’s turned off,” Said Shining Armour.
“Well luckily when I got here I noticed that there was a supple convoy that passes through regularly, if we could somehow sneak onto it, then we could pass through the shield unnoticed, it seems that they must have a small outpost nearby” explained Dash.
“Then that smaller spire over there must be the supple convoy’s outpost?” suggested Twilight
“That looks like our only hope for this,” said Shining Armour.
“Oh boy more trekking through the dense forest canopy on the uncharted planet with things that may or may not want to kill us,” moaned Discord.
“I know but it can’t be helped, come on team let’s give it all we’ve got!”
