[Kairu]

During the escape, Vhat had been running a diagnostics on his helmet. When Voro inquired about comm lines, he couldn't have been more helpful. Vhat remained silent, thinking it was best to not answer unless he had good news. Voro's body language appeared to Vhat that the long silence seemed to have been bothering their field leader. Before Voro would lose his patience, Vhat spoke up. Vhat: "I've been running an analysis program for my helmet. Some of the debris from the bombardment damaged my helmet. My analysis says my comm is functioning, but only partially. I will see if I can contact the Fleetmaster." Vhat activated the comm. Interference was audible, but he tried to radio anyway. Vhat: "This is Major Komata'ree to the fleet. We have fled the Filth's city and have gained distance from it." The interference was frequent and audible with no evidence of a reply. Vhat: "Major Komata'ree to Covenant Fleet, respond. I am with special operations groups from the Divine Inquistion, any one there?" The interference continued, but several variable pitches were barely distinguished. Vhat attempted to clean it up better, getting only bits an pieces from his recipient. He could tell that he got ahold of one of the Brute ships, although unknown of which one. From the pieces he could make out, it seemed that they couldn't hear him too well either. Vhat: "I am sorry, Commander, but I seem to have a malfuntioning comm system."
