[Naked Crook]

Anaconda: Vanguard... Anaconda paused. Anaconda: I know that name better than you do...better than you ever will. Anaconda paused. Anaconda: I would rather not discuss how I know that name. It is a long story, and I would rather not get into it. However, needless to say, Nighthawk and I have known that Vanguard was here for some time. We discovered this truth after our battle with The Trust and The Covenant at Regional HQ Bravo. After we discovered that Vanguard was here, Nighthawk was able to piece together information, which suggested that The Trust was deliberately leaking information to The Covenant about Vanguard. We do not know for what purpose exactly...but Nighthawk and I both agreed, that if The Trust is leaking intel to The Covenant, then The Trust needs something from The Covenant. With that said...it is a safe bet that The Trust brought The Covenant here...to fulfill some purpose. Anaconda paused. Anaconda: In other words...I am not surprised that The Trust is meddling with Vanguard. They are meddling with...something I have learned to fear. Anaconda turned away, and he growled. Anaconda: Not something I like to admit...but it is true. I have seen Vanguard in its full glory...intact...in person...up close. It was...horrid. Never before had I seen so much destruction...so much potential for destruction. The power it commands...eclipses everything that I had ever known. Anaconda turned back to Jacob. Anaconda: I need to find that thing and destroy it...at all costs. It is my...duty...my responsibility to do so. I must find it! Do you know where it is? Has The Trust said anything to you? Anaconda walked up to the energy barrier. Anaconda: Tell me what you know Human. If you do not...we will all pay with our lives. It will destroy us all! I know this! It is a fact! Anaconda paused again. Anaconda: If you are really trying to help me...if you are being sincere about your admission of error about joining The Trust...then tell me everything you know. If you do...I will vouch for your act of penance if need be. As far as Nighthawk is concerned...my words carry weight...and Nighthawks words carry weight with Captain Frost...and many others in your military. Anaconda paused. Anaconda: He still has friends...you know. He may be able to help you get your life back...the same life you threw away.
