The Draco held postition near th ONI Refit Station Anchor 39. Tylan: Ensign why are we holding position? Galen: Sir we do not have clearance to enter slip. Tylan: aah, I see. Let me get clearance. Galen: Not possible, we are ordered to hold position until further orders. Tylan: Very well, Galen have you had sleep? Galen: No sir not for last 36 hours. Tylan: What the hell are you doing without sleep. Getcha your ass in bed gets some shut eye, I don't need my best navigator sleeping at the wheel, I don't want get pulled over. Galen: haha, whats that mean? Tylan: i was on the ONI Information Net turns out back in the early 2000's like 2012, if you were sleeping at the wheel of a car you would go to jail for DUI or Driving under the influence. Which its actually a still active law just not enforced as much. Galen: Aaah sir, thanks sir I could use some sleep. Galen then walks out of the bridge to get some sleep.

Black 1: Good to know. It will be vital that you deliver the necessary codes spot on...or things will get complex...but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and give you my confidence. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Now...simply for the record...what can we expect on the Naval side of things. We are not going for any naval engagements...but we cannot be totally sure. Any information you can provide us on their Naval strength, specifically, the task force you were with...that would also be helpful.

Black 5: The Crimson Shadow, phoenix-class, one of the biggest and strongest ships in the fleet. The Dreadhawk, marathon-class, excellent support ship from what I've seen. Lastly, the King Raven II, halcyon-class, strong ship. If my memory recalls me...they have cloaking technology. Black 5 paused. Black 5: And no, I don't mean stealth...I mean cloaking, legit invisibility. Black 5 paused again. Black 5: There's also the Draco, but it's a destroyer, an escort ship, not much it can do in a firefight. The Crimson Shadow and King Raven II are the ones you need to worry about.

Black 2: Active Camo? ONI has Active Camo? Since when? Black 2 paused to think. Black 2: Possibly reverse engineered from Covenant technology...

[Hells Sniper]

Black 5: I believe you are correct...but yes, they have active camo. It is new, only installed on the King Raven II.

Black 2: You think we should report this to the Admiral? Black 1: Of course we have to...eventually. For now...we have to focus. I will be sure to file a report to The Admiral before we leave. In the mean time...we should get our gear loaded onto the Prowler and get ready to leave ASAP! Black 2 nodded. Black 2: Understood... Black 1 paused for a moment. Black 1: I want you guys to go ahead...get everything ready... The other members of Black Team nodded. They all turned to walk away. Black 1: Not you Agent...I need to have one final word with you... Black 2, 3, and 4 looked at each other, then continued walking. Black 1 look at Black 5. Black 1: This will be quick...

[Hells Sniper]

Black 5 nodded and looked at Black 1. Black 5: What's up?

[Naked Crook]

Black 1: Agent...as much as I like the idea of having you around...I need to ask you... Black 1 paused. Black 1: Are you ready for this? The only reason I ask is because...we are going up against ONI...the people you used to serve with. If you hesitate to kill any of these people...even for a second...it could cost you your life...

Black 5 pondered the question, he'd have to fight old friends, ex-fellow Agents, and maybe even family. But he also had a chance to fight his enemies, the ones who created Black 5 without really knowing it at the time. The ones who forged him into something other than who he was, the ones who continuously broke his core, his resolve, his attitude, his family. He was ready, because he wanted to be. Black 5: I'll be fine. ONI is nothing to me now...and...those people...they mean nothing. They are just another black spot in this fight. And even black spots can get erased. Black 5 paused. Black 5: And please...call me Black 5.

[Naked Crook]

Black 1 nodded. Black 1: Very well Black 5. I will take your word for it. If you believe you are ready...then that is all I need. If you feel that you can pull the trigger at a moments notice...then you have a place on this team. The reason I say all this is because When I first took this job 40 years ago...I hesitated...and I nearly paid with my life. I made that mistake so others could learn from it. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Just keep that in mind Black 5...
