Xyrho turned to face Furium when he heard the heavy footed Brute enter the bridge. Xyrho looked at Furium from across the bridge, and then began to walk towards him. Xyrho: Furium... Xyrho look at the Brute, remaining silent for a moment. Xyrho: I trust Dangerus spoke to you about why you were sent here? Xyrho paused. Xyrho: It is important that I have your cooperation...you full cooperation. Can I rely on that? Meanwhile: The Trust Warthogs began to drive past The UNSC line...running down UNSC marines that were on foot. As the Trust Warthogs dped by, the sounds of tires squeeling vould be heard, as the Warthogs performed powerslides to turn around. Anaconda: They are behind us! Anaconda began to turn his gun, as he took aim at the Trust Warthogs. He once again resumed firing the large turret. Meanwhile: As The Risk Takers entered the sub basement, they could see numerous scientists and Trust ODSTS walking throught the corridors, all walking in the same direction. All of the ODSTs and scientists were moving quickly, as if they were in a rush. One of the ODSTs stopped to look at The Risk Takers. Trust ODST: Are you guys here to help wigh Vanguard's Terminal? Meanwhile: ODST Black Team had been waiting in the lobby of the Apex Applied Research Building. They were waiting gor the UNSC to show up, so they could take their shot at Tye. Black 1 kept looking at Jacob. He was very curious as to what Jacob's take on the situation was. Black 1: Jacob...we need to talk.

Jesse suddenly had an idea. He held his arm out the side of the Warthog, looking back at the Trust vehicles. As they turned, he spotted one heading toward the vehicle he was in, on his side. He did some calculations, smirking as he enacted his plan, flicking the pin off the grenade and dropping it. Moments later, the grenade exploded under the Trust Warthog, disabling it and killing the occupants. "Booyah!"

Furium nodded. Furium: I understand the situation, shipmaster. I trust Dangerus, and he said to follow your orders. Furium looked down at Xyrho. Furium: So I will follow them. Meanwhile: Liam looked down at the Trust marine and nodded. Liam: Yes, we are, soldier. We're here to get it out of here. The UNSC attack has begun. Behind him, the Risk-Takers held their weapons tight and kept an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Concurrently: Jacob looked at Black 1. He didn't change how he looked or moved, but he was worried to say the least. Jacob: Talk away, boss.

Trust ODST: Alright...follow me sir. The ODST Turned, and led The Risk Takers down a long corridor, making a left hand turn when they had reached the end. After they had turned the corner, they quickly came upon a large vault door that was under very heavy guard. The ODST Simply walked by, with The Risk Takers in Tow, right up to the large vault door. He began to enter in a passcode on a touchscreen device that was mounted on the door. Once the ODST had entered his code, a light above the door turned green, and the large vault door began to open. As the door door opened, more and more details of this room became apparent. There were dozens of Scientists inside the large vault, dozens of computer systems, and something that stood apart from everything else...something that was neither of Human or Covenant origin. Trust ODST: There it is. That is what we are here to secure. The ODST paused. Trust ODST: I don;t fully understand what it is...but it only recently started glowing red like that. I guess the eggheads woke it up or something. I can't be sure. However...from what I understand...there is information on that thing that some AI wants. I don't know all the details. The ODST paused. Trust ODST: All I know is that we have to get this thing back to The Ulterior Motive in order to pair it up with some other piece of hardware that was recovered the Installation Desert. The ODST looked at The Risk Takers. Trust ODST: I am just glad they sent you guys. Based on our intel...The Covenant worship this stuff. If they saw us with it...that could be trouble. The more force we have on our side...the better. Meanwhile: Black 1 glared at Jacob for a moment before speaking. Black 1: I am getting doubts about you, given the situation. I need to know how reliable you are going to be during this mission. The fact is...victory is an absolute must today...and I am stuck with an unknown element on my team. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Frankly...I am just not confident in your abilities...and I am not confident in your dedication to what we are looking to accomplish here today. Black 1 paused. Black 1: I am in a position where I have to trust someone who has not yet proven themselves to The Trust. Black 1 paused again. He began to walk circles around Jacob. Black 1: I need to know if you can pull the trigger on The UNSC. I need you to prove your loyalty. Black 1 looked at the rest of Black Team and gestured his head. Black 1: Jacob...come with me. I want you to do something for me. Black 1 turned and walked away. ODST Black Team followed at a distance, staying behind Jacob at all times, while Jacob followed behind Black 1. Black 1 led the group of soldiers to a stairwell, as he began to run up the flight of stairs, taking two steps at a time, as he ran up. Black 1 led Jacob, and Black Team, up about 5 floors, before he stopped, and walked back out into the corridor. He began to lead Jacob and Black Team down the corridor, eventually stopping in front of a large pane of glass. Black 1 looked out the window. He had a clear field of view on the UNSC force that was advancing on the Apex Applied Research Building. Black 1: Jacob...I would think you are a good shot with that Sniper Rifle of yours. Perhaps not as good as Black 3...but good none the less. So...with that said... Black 1 turned, as he slammed his fist right through the glass, shattering it completely, and giving Jacob a spot to fire through. Black 1: I want you to kill EVERY SINGLE UNSC soldier down there...in three minutes. Black 3 will supervise your shots to make sure you score head shots or kill shots, at the least. Black 1 paused. Black 1: If by the three minute mark I am dissatisfied by the number of soldiers still alive down there... Black 1 looked at Black 2, who cocked his shotgun. Black 1: Black 2 will shoot you in the back of the head before you even get a chance to turn around. Black 1 then looked at Black 3, and gave him a nod. Black 3 tossed Jacob a few extra clips of sniper ammo. Black 1: The only rule...do not kill Commander Vernette. He belongs to us. Everyone else...I want their brains on the ground. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Your three minutes begins now. Start shooting. Xyrho looked up at Furum for a moment, before he nodded. Xyrho: That was easier than I expected. A good start. Xyrho stepped back a bit, and paused. Xyrho: Currently...we are moving to take position over the Human city of "New Havana". Your Chieftain has left me in charge of dealing with this city, while he keeps the rest of the fleet busy with "other tasks". Xyrho paused. Xyrho: I am sure you understand why. Xyrho paused again. Xyrho: I have been giving consideration to ging down there personally to deal with this situation...but I would prefer to see what the situation is first. From what I understand...it is volatile...but I wish to see exactly HOW volatile it is. Xyrho turned away from Furium, but he continued to speak. Xyrho: I trust you have no objections with going down to the battle field personally?

Arman and Axlon drove through the Trust lines, mimicking their movements, running over the unfortunate Trust soldiers underneath their vehicles. As Robertson and Cadieux continued to shoot at the vehicles that started to tail them. Robertson, noticing how efficient running over infantry was couldn't help but speak up. Robertson: "Isn't running over infantry, cheating?" Axlon: "Oh shut up, we're winning. 'Sides, this is what a warthog is made for, running things over. After all, that's how it got its name. For ramming its head into whatever it needs to attack or defend against." Robertson: "Okay, you knowing that is just weird." Axlon: "A private back in the academy wanted to call it a puma instead and the Sarge didn't like that." There was a moment of quiet dialogue between the squad as they continued to run over or gun down anything unmarked. Robertson: "So how come you know that?" Axlon: "That's what the Sarge told us. I guess I've just retained that knowledge since." Arman: "Are you two gonna start shooting or do you wanna lose your competition?" Aboard the Divine Inquisition: Vhat' had since resupplied his weapons and armor, prepping for more combat. He had been listening to the Prophets' messages from days ago, letting their words inspire him. During the playback, another Elite had approached him. Elite: "Shipmaster Xyrho wishes to speak with you." Vhat: "Many thanks, Brother. I will be to the bridge as soon as I am done here." Elite: "Don't take too long. It seemed as though it was urgent." Vhat: "Thank you for the warning. Then I will go immediately." Vhat had turned off the playback, leaving the area and going to the bridge. As he arrived, he saw Furium and Xyrho talking. Vhat decided to stay back and let them discuss their business. He felt that if he was to know the discussion, he would be invited in to join.

Furium looked at Xyrho. He nodded. Furium: No objections on my end, shipmaster. Furium walked behind Xyrho, following him. Furium: The Chieftain told me of certain places to be concerned of, and certain humans to... Furium grunted. Furium: Focus our attention to. If you want to get a view of the battlefield, I can of course go down with my brutes and survey the area. Meanwhile: Liam approached the device while the rest of the Risk-Takers stayed where they were. Slowly, as he walked through the vault, scientists stopped and stared at him as he walked down. A few of them turned to look at him, watching him walk down the vault to the device. Liam eyed up the device, and then slowly walked around it to look behind the device. He noticed it was connected to several ports, with each port connected to a computer or other piece of Trust equipment. Liam removed his helmet and knelt in front of it, he yelled down the corridor. Liam: Savannah! Up front, now! Liam waited as he heard the heavy footsteps of a Spartan running up towards him. Savannah knelt down next to him and removed her helmet. Liam: Can you carry it? Savannah eyed the object up. She bounced her head back and forth and then nodded. Savannah: I think I can. But, we're going to have to head up stairs, all the way up. I need a pelican ready to extract as soon as possible. And as long as we maintain control of the city, we can pull out. Liam: And if we run into trouble? Savannah: I can't fight with this thing on my back. And we can't risk letting it sit there. Liam nodded. He looked behind him and yelled to his Spartans, who were lined up looking out of the vault. Liam: Lyle, front and center! A few moments later, Lyle appeared behind him and knelt down. Lyle: Sir? Liam: You're on the device with Savannah now. Anyone gets too close, you engage them and then get right back to Savannah. She has to keep moving at all costs. Lyle nodded. Lyle: Can do, sir. Liam nodded and put his helmet back on, Savannah followed suit as they all stood up. Liam looked behind him and waved his hand in a circle. Liam: Alright eggheads, unplug the damn thing, we're pulling this back to the Ulterior Motive! Liam looked at Savannah and Lyle and nodded. They nodded back. He jogged back up to the rest of the Risk-Takers and looked at them. Liam: We're taking the stairs, Spartans. Reload, eyes up, check the corners. Meanwhile: Jacob was concerned the moment Black 1 began to speak. And every time he spoke, it cut a little deeper inside. He was scared, to be honest, he hadn't been this scared since training. He hadn't been this concerned for his life since 2523. Jacob took deep breaths as they headed up the stairs, he was worried. He listened to Black 1 and watched him slam his fist through the glass, breaking it. Black 1: I want you to kill EVERY SINGLE UNSC soldier down there...in three minutes. Black 3 will supervise your shots to make sure you score head shots or kill shots, at the least. Jacob's heart stopped. And as Black 1 went on and on, when Black 2 cocked his shotgun, he almost had a heart attack. If he didn't do this, here and now, he was going to die. If he didn't do this, he was going to die a traitor. That hurt more than anything in the world. Jacob held the sniper in his hand and set it up on the ledge while Black 1 was still talking. He had to do this. To prove himself to the Trust, he had to become one of them. If he could do that, he could get information that could change our fight. He could get information that would change the entire war. Jacob closed his eyes. Jacob: God, wherever the fuck you are right now, whoever the hell you are...help me. Jacob pulled the stock back on his sniper rifle. Black 1: Your three minutes begins now. Start shooting. Jacob took a deep breath and lined up his first shot. A random marine, a random marine just doing his job, defending humanity. Jacob knew he would pay for his crimes, that he would pay for this. No amount of information is worth the loss of so many lives. But it could save millions. Jacob pulled the trigger and landed a headshot, killing the marine. He moved to the next marine and fired again. He kept going until his clip went dry, and in a very swift motion he switched out the clips and started again.

"Woah! SNIPER!" Jesse called out as he saw the Marine downed out of nowhere. "Watch your head!" He warned, drawing his rifle again and essentially performing drive-bys, firing on anyone that was unfortunate enough to be off of his side of the Warthog.

[Kairu]

Robertson: "New guy, try and find out where that sniper is so I can shoot this damn thing at him!"

[Dark-F137]

"Roger." He responded, activating the zoom function and looking for the muzzle flash from the rifle. "Hold up..." He said, looking up at the area where he saw a flash, but no sound. It was high up in a building... right were Jacob was. "Found him! Building to our left, 9 o'clock high!"

[Kairu]

Robertson stopped firing and focused to the general area that Jesse marked. He saw a flash as the sniper shot again, nearly hitting Robertson. Robertson: "That fucker tried popping me!" Robertson spun up his gun and aimed it at the area. He then fired the gun, unleashing hundreds of rounds into the small area the sniper had perched up in.
