[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

[Naked Crook]

As Tye stood he elevator, he responded to Dark via the comm. Tyber: You heard correctly Spartan. We are in possession of a Trust officer. He is currently under guard, and close supervision. Tye paused. Tyber: As for being on alert...this ship is always on alert. Typically, during a state of conflict, Navy ships tend to be on full alert every minute of the day. Believe me...you don't need to remind me how to keep my staff on alert. After all...I am the head of armed personnel operations on this ship...and I pride myself on running a tight ship. Tye paused. Tyber: Besides...if there is one ship in the navy that The Trust is very careful about engaging...it is The King Raven. This ship has a history of mopping the floor with The Trust. Meanwhile: Aboard The Ulterior Motive, in the holding cells, Anaconda started to come to. He let out a groan, as he shook his head. As Anaconda woke up, The Consultant grinned, as she stood in front of the holding cell, her hands behind her back, staring at Anaconda. Anaconda began to wake up with each passing second. It was not long before he moved his hands, as he pushed himself back to his knees, and then climbed back to his feet. Anaconda looked around, and approached the energy barrier, as he looked down at the Consultant. The Consultant: My, my, my...you are much bigger in person. Anaconda simply stared at The Consultant. The Consultant: You are impressive. Anaconda was taken aback by the praise. He half expected an interrogation or harsh questioning. Anaconda: Is this some sort of new tactic? The Consultant: Tactic? If you are implying that I am trying to deceive you into doing something...the answer would be no. Anaconda gave a groan. The Consultant: Actually...truth be told...I am a huge fan. Anaconda simply looked at The Consultant. The Consultant: I admire you. I consider you to be very unique. In fact...I would prefer to NOT consider you an enemy. Anaconda: Believe me...you would be smart to consider ME an enemy. Anaconda stepped forward, getting closer to the energy barrier. Anaconda: When I look at you...I see my next meal. I do NOT want to be your friend. I want to eat you. The Consultant raised an eyebrow and gave a grin. The Consultant: I love the attitude. You are so...aggressive. So...rugged. The Consultant began to pace back and forth. The Consultant: You know...I would never admit this to anyone...but I envy Nighthawk to a degree. He has something that I want...badly... The Consultant paused. The Consultant: Your loyalty. The Consultant shrugged. The Consultant: I have seen the vids of the two of you in battle. I watched your raid on The Mercury Shipyard. I watched your engagements on Genesis. I have even been observing the two of you - mostly YOU - here, on San Angeles. You are, single handily, the sole reason why The Risk Takers struggle. You are the only thing that actually stands between them, and the completion of their directive. The Consultant paused. The Consultant: You are a very skilled fighter. You give them a run for their money every time. All you have is what nature gave you; your size, your strength, and your tenacity. Nighthawk is just some clown in a fancy suit...but you...every bit of your aggression and your ability flows in your blood...like a fountain of unstoppable rage! Anaconda folded his arms as he listened to The Consultant. He had to admit to himself...he liked the ego stroking. The Consultant: You have so much potential...and it is being squandered where you are now. I could offer you so much more than he ever could. Anaconda: I doubt it. The Consultant: I believe it. Anaconda shook his head. Anaconda: Nighthawk has been a loyal friend. I consider him to be a brother. There is nothing you could ever offer me that would convince me to ever join you. The Consultant: Don't be so sure Anaconda... The Consultant scoffed. The Consultant: What is your name? Anaconda: Anaconda... The Consultant: Your real name? Anaconda was silent. The Consultant: I would prefer to use your real name. Anaconda: I would prefer to use your skull as a cod piece. It is important to protect the potential cubs. The Consultant laughed. Anaconda: That was not intended to be funny. The Consultant: I don;t know...it could be seen as funny to a degree. The Consultant paused. The Consultant: What would it take to convince you to join me...as an equal...as a partner...an ally... Anaconda simply yawned. The Consultant: Name it...anything! Anaconda yawned again. This time, he sat down on the ground, as he sat cross legged on the ground. He hunched forward, and simply glared at The Consultant. The Consultant: Are you just going to sit there, silently, and look at me? Anaconda didn't even move. The Consultant: You know...had it not of been for me...Liam would have kilted you when he brought you down. It was my order to Nova Team that stopped him. I went through a lot of trouble to get you here Anaconda...and I expect some gratitude. Anaconda: You want gratitude? Come in here and ask for it. Lower the barrier...and come right up to my face and ask for it. The Consultant shook her head. The Consultant: I prefer to keep the barrier for now. I wouldn;t want any rash deicison from you now, would I? Anaconda: Suit yourself. The Consultant frowned. The Consultant: I expected the stubborn qualities to surface right away. I had my doubts you would want to hear me out. However...I am not one to give up easily. The Consultant paused. The Consultant: I have my methods Anaconda. One way or the other...I will break that stubborn personality of yours. Believe me...it will not take me long before you will be begging to stand by my side. Anaconda growled. The Consultant: When it is all said and done Anaconda...you and I are going to be very close friends. Anaconda growled again. The Consultant: In the mean time my very large Brute...try not to get hungry. I will be back for you later. The Consultant grinned at Anaconda, as she turned and walked off, Nova Team followed behind her.
