[Naked Crook]

Nighthawk watched as Jacob stood beside the Phantom, giving him the invitation to preceded the others. Nighthawk jumped int through the side hatch, pulling himself up. He looked down at the others. Nighthawk: Listen up guys...this is going to take me a few minutes to do what I need to do. Nighthawk looked at Tye and Jacob. Nighthawk: You guys have a job to do; prepping civilians and getting ready for the Covenant onslaught. ABove all else, this is your priority. If there is a chance I can't pull off what I am suggesting, you guys have to be ready to pick up the slack, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. So...why don't you guys go and do your jobs...and I will go and do mine. I'll let you know if I managed to get anything on this end...scouts honor. Tye sighed at this, almost unsure about it. However, he knew that Nighthawk had a point about what the priorities were. Tye glared at Nighthawk. Tyber: Alright...fair enough, just don't try and screw us over on this. We're trusting you...so don't blow it. Tye then looked at Jacob. Tyber: Let's get everyone rounded up as best as we can. The Covenant is coming one way or the other, and we have to be ready to put them down no matter what. Let's get to it because the clock is ticking. Meanwhile: Yates thought for a moment. Yates: It is not unexpected that the UNSC is putting up a fight. In fact, I am pleased that they are. Those men and women are earning their pay. However...based on experience, I have learned that Harrison is a stubborn man who tells me nothing about what he is doing. If you could keep me apprised of the specifics of Harrison's battle plan...that would be great. We would be...appreciative. Yates shrugged. Yates: And we have no problem with redundant information Reynolds. We like it when intel has been verified by two or more sources. We would prefer you come forward as often as you can with reports and updates. Just don't tell Harrison, or anyone else for that matter, that you ARE reporting to us. I would not want you to burn the bridge of trust, so to speak.
