Naked Crook · 01-25-2014

Voro scoffed at Vhat, but dismissed the Elite, as he had other business to attend to.

Voro: You do what you have to do Vhat...and I will do what I have to do. We all serve in our own way.

Voro gave a very disturbing look to Vhat, one that implied a very deep seeded malevolence on Voro's part. However, Voro did not keep this look for long, as he turned away, and walked out of the hanger bay, followed by the last remaining Spec-Op Elites.

Meanwhile:

Back on the planets surface, Nighthawk, Jennifer, and Anaconda had left the King Raven's engineering team to their work, disassembling the Stealth Generator that had been used in The Trust's facility, so that the generator itself could be returned to The King Raven.

The trio walked through the corridors, as they looked for an exit to the facility.

Jennifer: So...I guess you two are going to tag along back to The King Raven?

Nighthawk: MIght as well. I want to know what Tye knows. If he knows something of strategic importance...then I have to be made aware of it. It could be vital in the continued offensive against The Trust.

Jennifer: I wonder what it is that he knows?

Nighthawk: I don't know Jennifer...but it bothers me. I have never known TYe to act like he just did. What we saw from him just now...must have been a very recessed and depressed reaction to The Trust.

Nighthawk paused.

Nighthawk: I'm worried.

Jennifer: It is understandable. He is, after all...

Jennifer looked around, and did a shoulder check.

Jennifer: You brother. Blood is thicker than water, you know?

Nighthawk: Yeah...

Anaconda scoffed.

Anaconda: I don't like the idea of going to The King Raven. Every time I go there...SOMETHING happens. Packing me into that tiny can has brought more trouble than good.

Jennifer: Oh...don't worry a strand of hair on your goatee. You will be fine.

Anaconda: Fur.

Jennifer: What's the difference?

Anaconda: Fur is better.

Jennifer: They are the same thing. Chemically speaking...

Anaconda let out a growl.

Jennifer: Alright, alright...geesh.

Nighthawk: Yeah...you are best not to argue this one. I learned that the hard way.

Jennifer sighed, as the trio stepped outside.

Nighthawk looked around, he saw that most of the UNSC's gear had been packed up and was ready to move onwards to the next city that needed evac.

Nighthawk: I still need to round up a bit of my equipment. Tell you what Jennifer; head back to The King Raven, and I will meet up with you later. You might as well get Burke up to speed with everything that has happened, and make sure he is aware that I am going to stop by.

Jennifer nodded.

Jennifer: Alright. I will see you boys later.

Jennifer nodded, as she turned and walked off, heading for a group of Marines that were loading up some wounded into a Pelican which was due for return to The King Raven.

Nighthawk then looked at Anaconda.

Nighthawk: I am going to go and grab my bike. Grab the Earthog, and swing around back to where we entered this chasm from. We can have The Venture Capitalist pick us up, and we can take The Vulture from there.

Anaconda grunted and gave a nod. With that, the two parted ways to round up their vehicles.

Vhat didn't like being talked down to by his fellow Elite, but he accepted it merely out of respect for the chain of command. He felt that what he should do is go and inform Xyrho of Voro's treachery. Xyrho made it explicitly clear that the Brutes are in control of this operation and everyone needs to get use to it. Vhat made his way to the bridge where he expected to find Xyrho.

On the surface:

Robertson turned and observed Frost tending to other duties, he felt that it was safe to approach.

Robertson: "Ma'am, permission to return to the Mind's Attrition?"

Naked Crook · 01-25-2014

Jennifer stopped, and looked at Robertson. She gave a curious look.

Jennifer: Any specific reason soldier? I need as many people on the front lines as possible. Is it an emergency?

Kairu · 01-25-2014

Robertson: "No Ma'am, not an emergency. I feel that after the loss of Calhoun, I would like to check on my team. I may be able to get more boots on the ground."

Naked Crook · 01-25-2014

Jennifer thought about it, and resolved that it would be beneficial.

Jennifer: Very well. Return to your ship, see what you can gather up, and get more boots on the ground.

Kairu · 01-25-2014

Robertson saluted, nodded and smiled under his helmet.

Robertson: "Thank you, Ma'am."

Robertson waited for Frost to dismiss him. Robertson turned and walked past the wounded and climbed aboard a ship about to leave with the wounded. The pelican took off back into orbit and to the Mind's Attrition. The pelican soon docked with the Mind's Attrition and after the wounded were taken off, Robertson stepped off. He quickly walked to the bridge were he was going to report in. After he reached it, Cochraine greeted Robertson.

Robertson: "Oh Commander Cochraine! I'm surprised to see you back."

Cochraine: "Yes, Captain Reynolds managed to pull some strings to help speed up my recovery. What'd you need?"

Robertson: "Captain Frost wants more boots on the ground, pronto."

Cochraine: "Admiral Harrison has been redeploying available ground forces to both New Havanna and New Armstrong."

Reynolds looked up from his reports in his office and saw Robertson. He approached Cochraine and Robertson.

Reynolds: "Sergeant Robertson, what are you doing back?"

Robertson: "Captain, Sir... requesting new orders."

Cochraine: "We could use more ground forces in New Armstrong."

Reynolds: "No, we don't have enough of our people in New Havanna, that's where I want you to go."

Cochraine gave a cross look at Reynolds and the fact he went around her orders, never acknowledging them. Robertson looked suspiciously through his helmet, but recomposed.

Robertson: "And how is Harmony doing?"

Reynolds: "Private Cadieux is ready for deployment... Speaking of... where's Calhoun?"

Robertson looked down, out of guilt.

Robertson: "Dead Sir. I'm sorry, we got ambushed by some Trust ODSTs."

Reynolds: "Do you have his dogtags?"

Robertson: "Yes Sir."

Robertson handed them over to Reynolds would somberly accepted them.

Robertson: "No offense, is there anyone else in reserve I can take with me and Cadieux?"

Cochraine: "There's still a few people people we can spare. Head to Hangar Bay C and I'll have your team there waiting for you."

Robertson saluted.

Robertson: "Yes Ma'am. Thank you, Sirs."

Robertson walked off the bridge to Hangar Bay C and Reynold returned to his office. Cochraine reviewed the Mind's Attrition's dossier and found two soldiers to help. She then paged them on the intercom.

Cochraine: "Lieutenant Robert Cromwell, Corporal Lyler Richard, and Private Agate Cadieux, please go to Hangar Bay C for deployment."

Cochraine continued but Robertson toned out her voice because the rest didn't matter. He heard several stories about Cromwell in passing, but Richard was someone he hadn't heard of before. Knowing Cadieux would be there made him also feel better. Robertson walked onto the assigned hangar bay where he saw his team. Robertson approached Cromwell, snapping into attention.

Robertson: "Sergeant Frazer Robertson reporting for duty, Sir."

Orcaid123 · 01-25-2014

Robert responds with a firm salute, saying with a firm tone.

Robert: Good to have you here, Sergeant Frazer. The name is Lieutenant Robert van Cromwell.

Looks briefly to his right, eyeing the corporal beside him.

Robert: And this is Corpo-...

The Corporal interrupts and snaps into a salute, saying

Lyler: Corporal Lyler Richard Mallister, sir! Your local sniper!

Robert responds after the interruption : He's a good kid. Now, you know where we'll be deployed to, Sargeant?

Kairu · 01-25-2014

Robertson: "Yes Sir, Captain Reynolds has personally assigned us to deploy in New Havanna. I'm not sure who's the commanding officer there, but I guess we're to help finish evacuating the city."

Orcaid123 · 01-25-2014

Robert: Alright, let's hustle up then! I guess the pelican over there is the one we'll be taking? If so, let's do this!

Robert strodes off towards the pelican he spoke of, expecting the two to follow.

Lyler quickly grabs his magnum, which were laying on a crate beside the trio, putting it in the pistol holster, and follows Robert.

Kairu · 01-25-2014

Cadieux looked uneasy at Robertson as though she wasn't sure if she could be seen.

Robertson: "Relax Rookie, you're coming too."

Cadieux and Robertson followed Cromwell and Lyler to the pelican, both taking a seat across from the strangers. With everyone seated, the pelican closed up and began to take off back to the surface of San Angeles.
