As Harmony and Jesse approached the end of the hall, the sound of Black 1's chatter alerted Arman to their presence. She stopped, holding her arm up and bent it at 90 degrees, making a fist. Arman: "Harmony, we have company, get in a room and hide next to the door. Get out of sight." Arman's voice was low, almost like a whisper. Everyone in Fireteam Harmony and Jesse split up, each of them quietly and tactfully taking a room and standing on the other side of the walls, just out of sight, ready to ambush if the moment came. Robertson: "What's the plan?" Robertson had also started whispering. Arman: "We wait for Commander Vernette's signal." Robertson: "What's the signal?" Arman: "Begin radio silence." Harmony and Jesse waited for Black Team or Tye to make a move first before engaging the Trust's elite ODST team. Aboard the Mind's Attrition, Reynolds had remained in his office, watching Harmony through their VISRs. He was noting everything that was happening. Their interactions with each other, the eager or willingness to include someone else from the outside, how they performed in combat with the Trust, and even noting the Trust's tactics and style, including their effects on what could happen to him in the end when he outlived his usefulness.
