Harrison walked down to Jacob's room and knocked on his door.
Jacob answered the door.
Jacob: Admiral, sir.
Harrison: Jacob, may I come in?
Jacob nodded and let Harrison into his room, he offered him his desk chair while he took a seat on the bed.
Harrison: How are you doing?
Jacob: Well, my arm is feeling a lot better from before. Murphy knows his way around cybernetics.
Harrison: And that is why he is part of the crew, and will remain. How were the other Agents?
Jacob: Great, we work well together I'd say.
Harrison nodded.
Harrison: Good, because you will be working together a lot in the coming weeks.
Jacob: Sir?
Harrison stood.
Harrison: You, ONI Agents are our top soldiers. The best of the best of the best of ODSTs. You are our go-to soldiers for anything outside their...specialties. That's why there are only six of you on this ship, I asked for those five personally. You came as a Godsend, a gift I'd say.
Jacob looked confused.
Jacob: What do you mean sir?
Harrison: Jacob, you are a natural leader. Every engagement, every battle, since I first saw you in action on Mars all those years ago. You took charge, you made the soldiers work for everything. These Agents needed a commander. You are it.
Jacob: Thank you, Admiral. But, I don't kn---
Harrison: You don't know how they feel about it? Trust me, they'll like it when you're saving their lives.
Harrison smiled.
Harrison: Just be ready when I need you. I have a feeling there will be a mission, where I need you...
Harrison put his hand on Jacob's shoulder and motioned his other hand outward.
Harrison: Leading those Agents to victory.
Jacob: Yes, sir. Understood. I'll..do my best.
Harrison: You always do Agent.
Harrison smiled and removed his hand. Moments later, Shadow spoke up.
Shadow: Admiral. Repairs have been completed as best they could. I believe the Task Force wants us back immediately.
Harrison: Good. Take us out of dry-dock and jump us back to Atlas. Thank you, Shadow.
Harrison then looked at Jacob.
Harrison: How is Phoenix holding up?
Phoenix: I am doing my best for an older AI, Admiral.
Harrison nodded.
Harrison: Hang in there.
Harrison then turned and left Jacob's room.
