Reynolds took a few moments to consider what was being proposed. Reynolds: "I am willing to do it if there was incentive for me to work with. I'm sure you understand Sir that you could simply order me to do it, but to do it well and efficiently, I ask for something in return."

[Naked Crook]

Yates: You are right...I could just "order" you to do this. However...I have learned that some people need incentives, they thrive off of incentives. I get the feeling you are that kind of person. What exactly do you want in return...or should I say...what is your price? Everyone man has a price. What is yours?

[Kairu]

Reynolds: "How's your medicine?"

[Naked Crook]

Yates found himself puzzled by the question. He thought about why Reynolds would ask such a thing. After considering it, he got an idea why. Yates: I suspect that there is a very specific reason that you are asking about such a thing. Yates paused. Yates: I will have you know...we have access to a much wider range than the rest of the UNSC does.

[Kairu]

Reynolds felt his heart flutter and he became partially excited. Reynolds: "I trust you know why I ask. I would like to have my XO back on my bridge fit for duties. She is scheduled for a full recovery by the end of the week, however, if what you imply is true, you could speed the process of her recovery. She may be hesitant, but I will convince her otherwise. Give this to her and I will loyally serve you and your organization."

[Naked Crook]

Yates had to laugh. Yates: You say that as if we are somehow not on the same side. Yates paused. Yates: Well, I will see to arranging something as soon as my business on Harrison's ship is concluded. I will contact you later with further details. Yates paused. Yates: For now...I need you to do your job...and carry out my request. The sooner you start...the better.

[Kairu]

Reynolds nodded at Yates. Reynolds: "Thank you, Sir. I will get to work right away."

Jacob nodded. Jacob: Yeah, it's working. Jacob paused, he smirked. Jacob: I think I know where you are going with this...

[Naked Crook]

Nighthawk: Perhaps...perhaps not. We will see. Nighthawk turned his chair again and looked at Jacob. NighthawL Jacob...I am sure you have a basic understanding of how the UNSC manages to keep field operators up-to-date on most recent data and telemetry. In a nutshell, it has to do with remote up-links, from field equipment, such as Pelicans, modular systems, and even VISR data for ODSTs. This uplink is generally very well protected by a very complex system of ciphers that prevent unauthorized users from receiving updates. In other words, every piece of equipment that UNSC personnel use in the field has its own unique cipher which is used to gain access to the overarching battle-net. With the right ciphers, you can start getting updates from the battle-net...updates which include orders, ship movements...you name it. Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: The Covenant do the same thing, for the most part. The idea is the same. With the right ciphers...you could surreptitiously gain access to the Covenant battle-net...and spy on them. Nighthawk shrugged. Nighthawk: I honestly believe that I could reverse engineer a cipher from that Phantom which would allow us to ghost onto the Covenant battle-net...and spy on them. We would know what they were planning AND doing the moment they would start doing it. Tyber: Why are we not ALREADY doing this? Nighthawk: Well...I have not been able to do it yet...because I do not have a cipher that I could reverse engineer...yet... Nighthawk paused. He used his thumb to point over his shoulder, at the Phantom that was visible through the cockpit window. Nighthawk: There is one like...RIGHT THERE...inside the computers of that Phantom...sitting...waiting...and fully working. I could easily have that analyzed and reverse engineered. EASILY!

Jacob nodded. Jacob: Then let's get to it! We only have an hour or so before the Covenant begin to destroy this place! Let's get this and get the movements to Harrison and the rest of the troops. Jacob paused. Jacob: I cannot let this place fall...not again.
