[Naked Crook]

Voro: I am well. I cannot say the same for the filth that inhabited this facility. Voro paused. Voro: The filth has eaither fled, or has perished at our hands. While I relish in the idea that many Humans perished at our hands...many of them did escape...and I wish to rectify that. Their cowardice must be repayed with blood. As it must be...out Scouts have discovered another Human city not far from here. We already have small strike teams deployed, which have been mapping the area, and identifying areas of strategic importance. While the battle does go well...I wish to accelerate the deaths of the Humans. This is why I will be deploying more teams of SPeciali Operations ELites, as well as platoons of standard infantry to wither the numbers of the filth guarding the city. Voro looked at both Rah'jesh and Vhat'. Voro: I want both of you to lead seperate teams into the heart of the Human city known as Carver. Once there...you are to exterminate ANY Human you can get your hands on. The more blood you spill...the greater your rewards will be! Now go! Go and do the will of out Gods...and DESTROY the Human infestation on this world! Only their blood and clear the stain left by their desecration! Meanwhile: Director Spender was on the bridge of The Ulterior Motive. He was currently awaiting both ODST Black Team and The Risk Takers to report to the bridge and update him on their results. While he waited, he spoke with Kolya. Spender: I must admit Kolya...events are progressing as planned. While there have been a few close calls...I will be frank; I am overall pleased with what we have managed to accomplish thus far. Kolya: By that, do you mean our direct involvement with the extermination of an entire planet? Spender: This is not an extermination Kolya...this is simply a Covenant-assisted eviction. There is a difference. I didn't want all these people to die...I just could not allow their presence to interfere with what I wanted. Kolya: Sir...if I may...how can you be sure that once this is all said and done, we will be able to take ANYTHING away from The Covenant? Spender: We will not fail. We cannot fail. We have the BEST assets on our side. Kolya: It does not change the fact that The Covenant is a powerful enemy. What if, after The Covenant is done excavating this entire planet, we lack the man-power and the resources to take back what we found? We would be directly responsible for the demise of the Human race! Spender: That does not concern me. Kolya: It doesn't? Spender: No...it does not. Kolya: Why? Spender: Two reasons. The first reason is, that if the Human race is wiped out...I, along with this organization, will be sure to survive the genocide. From that point...I will have free reign to rebuild the Human race...as I see fit. That is, after all, the mandate of The Trust. We must control the entire Human race if we are to ensure its superiority, and its survival. Kolya: The second reason? Spender: Second, if I, along with the entire Trust Syndicate, meets its demise WITH the rest of the Human race...nobody will be left to give a damn about what I did. So you see, Kolya? My logic...is flawless. My planning...is flawless. Everything I do...is perfect. Kolya sighed. This did not reassure him. Spender: You do not have much faith in this plan? Kolya: I support it. I will follow your orders, and I will do everything I can to ensure that it succeeds. However...the only thing that cannot be done...is that you cannot order a man to have faith. We will be lucky if we manage to pull this off sir...I just hope you are right. Spender: Of course I am right. I am always right. Spender paused. He took a drag of his cigarette. However, he found himself interrupted when he heard an alarm coming from one of the bridge workstations. Trust Operations Officer: SIr...we have a problem. Someone is currently operation inside of DARK Facility. Spender: I gave the order to have that facility evacuated and devoid of all personnel! Why is someone still in there? Trust Operations Officer: I do not know. Whoever it was...they used an authorization code to access the main system just a moment ago. I am currently running the code against all active ONI Security Codes. Stand by...I should have an identification for you shortly. Kolya: Sir, why is DARK facility evacuated? Spender: I wanted it clear so I could send in my own team to get me a copy of the data archive, then destroy it. There is information in there that I did not want falling into the Hands of Nighthawk and Anaconda. With them here, I did not want them gathering intel on The Risk Takers. I wanted to use anomitity against those two, for once! I had a team schedualed to go...but...I do not believe they were ready to depart last time I checked. Kolya and Spender looked at each other. Trust Operations Officer: Sir...I have identified the code as belonging to a Captain Jacob Sharpmen. Spender: Ahhh...Jacob Sharpmen...such fond memories. He could of been useful...but things didn't quite work out. Spender looked over to Kolya. Spender: Kolya... Kolya: SIr? Spender: I want you to proceed to DARK Facility. FInd Jacob...and...assist him... Kolya raised an eyebrow. Kolya: Assist him? Spender: Pardon me...assist him...in his endeavour of successfully getting to the after life. I wanted you to kill him. After you have done that...I want you to bring me the data stored in DARK archives. The fact is...I don't want ANYONE having that information. Not our Bird and Snake...and not Sharp Boy. Kolya: Understood sir. Kolya saluted, as he turned to exit the bridge of the Ulterior Motive.
