[Naked Crook]

Meanwhile: The Pelican that Jennifer was on flew over Regional HQ Bravo. The Pelican landed on one of the several landing pads, and the rear hatch opened. Jennifer, along with a few marines, and some medics, disembarked from the Pelican. They cleared the LZ, as another Pelican was coming in. Jennifer looked around, and she noticed the black Vulture sitting on one of the landing pads. Jennifer: Wait a minute... Jennifer took several steps in the direction of the Vulture. Jennifer: That is the ship I saw back on The King Raven! That is the ship that showed up on the holotable image! The Marines looked at Jennifer. Marine: Ma'am? Is there a problem? Jennifer was silent for a moment. Jennifer: Possibly...possibly. I don't know yet. Jennifer turned. She walked off, walking faster than usual. She walked towards the rooftop access, making her way down into the facility. Once Jennifer had reached the main atrium, she approached one of the ODST's that were standing guard. Jennifer: Soldier...who is in charge here? ODST: Commander Vernette Ma'am... Jennifer: Thank God... Jennifer paused. Jennifer: Thank you soldier. As you were. Jennifer paused. She stopped for a moment and sighed. SHe looked back at the ODST. Jennifer: Do you know where he is? ODST: He just walked passed here a few moments ago. He was heading for Security Control. Jennifer: Thank you. Again...as you were. The ODST nodded. Jennifer walked passed the ODST, heading to Security Control. Security Control was the main battle center of UNSC Regional HQ Bravo. All tactical efforts were coordinated from this heavily fortified room. This room had access to all of the perimeter cameras, it had access to orbital spy drones, and various reconnaissance utilities. Jennifer could understand why Tye was in this room. Jennifer walked into Security Control, and the first thing she saw was Tye. She saw Tye busy barking out orders, and getting everyone organized. Jennifer had to admit, she knew that if there was at least one person here who could keep this military operation organized and efficiant, it was Tye. Jennifer watched as Tye turned. She watched him stop when Tye noticed Jennifer standing at the threshold of the room. Tyber: Jennifer? Jennifer walks towards Tye. Tyber: Jennifer...what the hell are you doing here? Jennifer: It's nice to see you too Tye. Tye and Jennifer looked at each other. Tye sighed. He then took his helmet off, and looked at Jennifer. Tyber: Jennifer...I had no idea you were coming here. I was not told... Jennifer: I am aware of that. I made the decision to come down here. Tyber: Why? Jennifer: To be honest Tye...I felt I could do more down here, than up there with the rest of the Navy. I knew that there were people down here that needed me here, as a doctor, than up there, as a Naval officer. I simply could not sit by, on The King Raven, as people down here were dying. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: Besides...I want everyone here to know that the Navy has NOT abandoned them. Tyber: Well...I am sure that will boost moral. However...the fact that you are here...Jennifer...I don't think you realize how dangerous the situation is. The fact is...as long as I am on San Angeles...I am not making long term plans. Jennifer: I fully understand the situation Tye. I know the situation. I was monitoring the situation down here before I left The King Raven. The fact is...I refuse to sit on the bridge of a ship while my friends are down here dying. Tye sighed. Tyber: Well...Jennifer...there are seriously wounded people that need a competent doctor. We have placed all the seriously injured people in the infirmiry, while our field medics have done patch jobs on the minor injuries to keep boots on the line. I am going to need you to take a look at some of those injuries. Jennifer: I will get right on that... Jennifer paused. Jennifer: But...before I do...I need to know something Tye... Jennifer paused again. Jennifer: Why is Nighthawk and Anaconda here?
