Jacob stayed with the rest of Black team, flying in alongside each of them. He, for all intents and purposes, had nothing he could do. He desperately wanted to get a message out to Harrison, but if Black team even so much as suspected that, he would be dead. He had to bide his time, hope that at some point, some time he'd have the time to send a message off. Jacob only hoped that the UNSC would understand when he came back, he was acting on his own. Even if they forgave him, the UNSC would still discharge him, or worse; demote him. Jacob only hoped that the connections he made in the past would help him now. That people like Harrison, Frost, or even Preston Vernette could convince the UNSC to let him stay. Meanwhile: The Risk-Takers left the Ulterior Motive and headed towards the Apex facility.

Black 1 watched his sensors as he saw the four transport ships reach escape velocity. Once all 4 transport ships had reached orbit, Black 1 nodded. Black 1: Alright Black Team...mission accomplished. Those transports are in orbit, behind the UNSC line, and they are en-route to their designated jump point. Black 2: It seems the UNSC is none the wiser. Personally, I am shocked that the UNSC did not try to interfere with us. We were basically unmarked and totally unresponsive to their communications. Black 1:Who cares. Their inability to act against us just made our job easier. Black 1 paused. Black 1: Alright Black Team...let's adjust our heading, and head for the Apex Applied Research building and touch base with Hoffman. Black 1 adjusted his heading, turning a whole 150 degrees to the south, as he hit the throttle on his Sabre. Black 2, Black 3, and Black 4 did the same, as they kept in perfect formation. Black 4: Try and keep up Jacob. We don't need someone lagging us up. Meanwhile: Nighthawk and Anaconda had left The King Raven. However, during that time, Jennifer had summoned her senior staff back to the bridge. It was not long before Burke, Cameron and Tye had all made their way to the bridge. Burke: Jennifer? What is the situation? Jennifer: Well...the situation is quite complex...to be quite honest. Burke: Isn't is always? Jennifer: Yes, well, it is far more complex now. Tyber: How so? Jennifer: I spoke with Nighthawk a bit. We also spoke with Harrison. Cameron: Not a good start. Jennifer: Well...it did not go well. Harrison and Nighthawk exchanged some choice words...none of it friendly. Harrison, based on what I could gather from his stance, was very antagonistic towards Nighthawk and Anaconda. I doubt he is going to put up with them much longer. Personally, I see the need to keep them around. I don't know how the rest of you feel about having those two hang around...but...I feel that they are useful. They know their shit, and they are informed on a great many things. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: The way I see it, Harrison is not ONI. Harrison is not used to the way WE operate. Hell, Harrison does not even know we are ONI Agents. I think he is getting annoyed with his inability to consolidate the chain of command, and he is starting to get quite aggressive. That is the way I see it. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: However...Nighthawk thinks Harrison is part of The Trust. Nighthawk thinks this because he sees how much Harrison dislikes him. Nighthawk is drawing comparisons to Jacob's hatred and Jacob's treachery. Tyber: Well...there was already one traitor on that ship. Based on my experience with The Trust...they tend to travel in packs. If Jacob was part of The Trust...he may have had someone local that he was reporting to. All I have is...well...anecdotal evidence to support that theory...but...I am a pretty reliable source. Cameron: If Harrison is working with The Trust...then he should be removed from command. Burke: We do not know for sure if Harrison is working for The Trust. If we remove him from command, and he is, in fact, NOT part of The Trust...that is called a mutiny. Cameron: Doctor...we are ONI. Not just ONI...we are ONI Section 0. Internal affairs is our business. Tyber: Cam is right. It is a dirty part of the job...but sometimes...we have to remove people. Jennifer: I want to be sure about everything before I make THAT call. If this was anything else...I would act. However, we are talking about removing a senior member of the UNSC brass from command with very shaky evidence. We would have no leg to stand on if we made this mistake. Section 0 would only sweep this away if we had hard evidence to back this up. Unfortunatly...we only have speculation. If we REALLY wanted to remove Harrison...we really only have one option. Tye, Burke, Cam, and Jennifer all exchanged an uneasy look. Tyber: You cannot be serious Jennifer. Asking them? Tye paused. Tyber: I will admit...my perspective towards those two is a little more tolerant now. However, I would feel very uncomfortable asking them to assassinate Harrison. Burke: Nobody said Assassinate. Tyber: It is Nighthawk and Anaconda. If they see him as a member of The Trust...everything would say assassinate to them. Cameron: Tye is right. We cannot resort to that...yet. We need to be in a very specific position to do this. Jennifer leaned on the holotable, and hung her head. She let out a sigh. Jennifer: This is so fucked up. Burke: Look, Jennifer, we have two battles on our hands. We have The Trust and The Covenant. The Trust are after something unseen...and The Covenant want us dead. We have to respond to both. We need to act against The Trust and we need to act against The Covenant. Burke paused. Burke: What is the current situation in New Havana? Jennifer: Evac transports were rescued by a group of unmarked Sabres that did not respond to any type of communication. Tyber: Sabres? Let's see them...quickly. Jennifer turned to the sensor officer on the bridge. Jennifer: Ensign...key in on UNSC ground forces, and see if you can get positioning on those Sabres that were buzzing around earlier. Sensor Officer: Stand by ma'am. Jennifer turned back to the holotable, as she watched the map shift, and lock onto the five Sabres, which were flying in formation. Burke: Sabres. The Sabre program is highly classified. The most senior brass, and ONI Flag Officers were briefed on its existance. Is it ONI? Jennifer: Had ONI of sent those out...we would have heard about it. Either that is The Trust...or those ONI spooks are being VERY silent. Tye leaned on the table. A frown shot across his face. Tyber: Those Sabres are moving in the diamond formation. That is ODST Black Team. The diamond formation was THE formation of ODST Black Team. It is a very difficult formation to pull off, mainly because of how close the ships would fly...but it is also the optimal attack position. It basically allows the ships to show up only as a single bogey on sensors if detected, but it also has the advantage of quickly separating into four directions to easily scatter. Tye paused. Tyber: The fly THAT formation due to the fact that they are four. However, back when there was six, they used to fly the enhanced diamon formation, which was basically the same thing, except for the fact that you would have an additional fight to to the back left and back right as supplements. That formation tends to be the MOST versatile, and the MOST difficult to fly. Burke: What about the fifth Sabre that is trailing the other four? Tyber: Honestly...I have no clue. Possibly a missing man formation. Jennifer: Clarify? Tyber: Missing man formation is, well, an extra ship that cannot fly with a group and keep a balanced formation. In other words, that is just an extra Sabre that is tagging along. I am not sure who number 5 is...but the four other Sabres are DEFIANTLY Black Team. Cameron: Where are those Sabres heading? They are moving away from The Spaceport. Burke: Not sure. However...their current path puts them on a DIRECT course for that Skyscraper. Tyber: Which building is that? Jennifer used her hand to zoom in on the building. Jennifer: Apex Applied Research? Jennifer look at Tye, Burke, and Cam. She had a confused look on her face. Jennifer: Let's recap; We have five unknown Sabres. Nighthawk said they were The Trust. Tye is CERTAIN that those Sabres are being piloted by ODST Black Team...and they are heading to a building called the APEX applied research building? Everyone was silent for a moment, as they were all thinking the same thing. All three men spoke at the same time. Cameron: Shoot them down. Tyber: Shoot them down. Burke: Shoot them down. Jennifer grinned, as she turned back to the front of the bridge. Jennifer: Comms...get me Harrison...now.

Harrison had since moved to his office, but had been monitoring the Saber team very closely and trying to get in contact with any ONI official he could. He was taking the Trust matter seriously, the fact that if Jacob was a traitor that there very well could be other Trust operatives aboard his ship was something he did not want to think about. If the Trust was in as deep as Nighthawk said, Harrison needed to know how and he needed to know who. Harrison sat down in his chair when he opened up his terminal. For far too long he was pushed aside by ONI officials, and for so many years he put together who was in ONI and why, their skills, their service record, everything. He knew that ever since Jacob's part in 2523, he had been in ONI. Why, he himself wasn't selected, was behind him. But today, everything proved his suspicions about the crew of the King Raven. They were, undoubtedly ONI, and since Captain Frost was vehemently against the Saber team remaining afloat he also knew that those ships weren't ONI, they weren't UNSC. They had to be Trust. Harrison sighed, if he could just get Frost on his side, to see that without the information he needs, he'll never be able to win this battle. Without her loyalty, without the loyalty of her crew, he would never be able to do anything. He needed her on his side. Harrison sighed. Harrison: Goddamnit Jacob...why. Meanwhile: Jacob had been lagging behind Black team for a few minutes, he wasn't used to a Saber so it definitely, so his excuse would and most definitely could work once they landed. The past few minutes Jacob had been encrypting a message to send to Harrison. Jacob knew that Harrison would be one of the only ones to understand what he had to do, given their past. He only hoped that Harrison would be able to send this information onto Captain Frost and Commander Vernette; maybe they would trust what he was doing. Maybe they could use him as a mole. The message read; Admiral...infiltrated Trust ranks...en route to Apex Allied Research Building....New Havana...Black team...Admiral Hoffman....Spender...Yates...keep brief...relay to Frost...need time...not a traitor....Identification code; 2-2-8-Oscar-Zulu-Niner-Two-November-Hotel-Romeo, Captain Jacob Sharpmen. Jacob had worked on the message for as long as he could, encrypting it as best as he could and without Black team realizing, had sent it off to reach Harrison. H only hoped it would give him time. Meanwhile: Harrison leaned back in his chair. He stood up moments later though when he saw the Sabers redirect their course and head towards a skyscraper. Harrison watched it closely, they were done with the Covenant. He needed to give the order to take out the Sabers. He needed to speak to Captain Frost. He needed allies. Before he could however, his radio beeped. Officer; Priority One Message from Captain Frost. Harrison: Patch it through... Harrison waited a second until his radio beeped again. Harrison: Captain Frost, I was just about to radio you... Harrison paused. Harrison: Before you say anything, yes, I want those Sabers on the ground. Now.

[Naked Crook]

Jennifer shrugged, as she realized that Harrison had just taken the words right out of her mouth. Jennifer: Yes, well...that is what I was contacting you about. Additionally, I was also going to tell you that after consulting with my senior staff, as well as keeping in consideration what I was told earlier...that those Sabres are, in fact, with The Trust. We HAVE to shoot them down...right now! Jennifer paused. Jennifer: We believe that those Sabres are on-course for a building, known as The Apex Applied Research facility. I have it on good authority that this Structure is a Trust staging point. Upon shooting those Sabres down, we need to get control of that facility. We should defiantly deploy strike teams against this facility right away. I have people, ready to go, right now. If we can consolidate our forces, we can storm that buolding, verify that it is a Trust facility, and then do a sweep and clear if necessary. Meanwhile: Nighthawk and Anaconda had left The King Raven, and they were en-route back to The Venture Capitalist. Nighthawk: We are in a pretty tough position big guy. If Harrison is part of The Trust, then the entire UNSC chain of command is now broken. Anaconda: Well, I am sure you would agree that the female Captain is on our side. Nighthawk: Jennifer? Yeah...she is on our side. She is walking a very fine line. Frankly...I am impressed by her ability to do it. Anaconda: The Spartan seems to be on the level. Tye is, for sure, opposed to The Trust. Not sure about the other Human...this "Burke"... Nighthawk: I have known David for a long time. He is clean. There is no way he is with The Trust. Anaconda: What about the other UNSC Commanders? Nighthawk: That is a very good question. With Harrison being suspect, I would have a hard time trusting anyone else. THe only reason I trust the crew of The King Raven is because...well...that is my inner circle. Anaconda grunted, as he leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. Anaconda: You know...I too have an "inner circle"... Nighthawk: I would imaging as much. Anaconda: Dangerus, the chieftain of the Covenant fleet, I have been able to trust him quite often. We have...a similar mindset...for the most part. He could be useful if we needed extra muscle. Anaconda paused. Anaconda: Then we have Xyrho. I know it is odd for me to place an Elite in my list of most trusted allies...but...Xyrho has proven himself to me on multiple occasions. He is someone who can be trusted. He shares some of my views...and he is far more...knowledgeable than superstitious. Nighthawk: Are you suggesting that we reach out to The Covenant? Anaconda: To a degree...yes. The Covenant sees all Humans as HUmans. They don't care about The UNSC, ONI, or The Trust. They are all Humans. Nighthawk: That is a wee-bit generalized...but ok. Anaconda: It is not my intent to insult...but...I only look to speak the truth on the matter. Nighthawk: Point taken. Go on. Anaconda: We could hit The Trust on two fronts if we give them a direction. Both Dangerus and Xyrho saw what was happening with The Risk Takers and The Trust at ONI Installation Desert. They have to be aware that there is a degree of infighting. Nighthawk: Right. Anaconda: If we tell them exactly what is going on...I can defiantly get them to help us. I might only be able to get Xyrho and Dangerus on our side...BUT...that would be helpful if we had to fight The Risk Takers again. Nighthawk: Yeah...they were pretty helpful last time. Alright...we should consider this. Do you know how to get in touch with Dangerus or Xyrho? Anaconda: Yeah...I do.

Harrison nodded even though Frost couldn't see him. Harrison: Do it. Shoot them down, get a team to their crash sites, and deploy ODST strike teams. I have a few available teams that I can redirect immediately to do some recon. Harrison stood up and started walking to the bridge. Just as he walked away a message appeared on his terminal, it began to blink rapidly. PRIORITY ONE MESSAGE FROM OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER. Harrison didn't see the display as he walked away. Harrison: I want Cameron deployed as well. And any heavy vehicles you have left, deploy them to the building and set up a perimeter. No mistakes this time, AA is going up, so if anything from that facility starts flying, we shoot it down. Harrison entered the bridge and walked to the center of the room, he muted his radio and started talking to his bridge team. Harrison: Inform AA teams to shoot down those Sabers, I want them on the ground now! Harrison paused and clicked his radio back on. Harrison: Captain, do whatever you have to do. Meanwhile: Jacob hoped the Admiral would see his message, he hoped he would be deemed an ally. He hoped he could pull this off. He had information for the UNSC...and he had information for himself. Meanwhile: Dangerus was on board his ship. In his quarters, going over the information he had. Meanwhile: The Suicide Squad deployed their ambush and within moments, the ghost was destroyed. Seconds later, crossfire from Athios, the Cross siblings, Carmicle, and Troy took out most of the grunts as they began to work on the elites. Folee had reloaded his rockets and as the wraith turned to fire on Athios, he fired off two rockets in succession. The first rocket impacted the back of the wraith, destroying the hull and opening a shot to it's course. The second rocket hit the core and within seconds, the wraith exploded as debris went wild, hitting an elite and two jackals. The ambush was a success and moments later, the entire area was secure. Athios regrouped his squad on the roof of the building, as he began to work on getting AA up. Athios: Secure the perimeter, get the base turrets online.

Jennifer: Understood sir. I am deploying teams...now... Jennifer looked at Tye and Cameron, as she pointed at the door of the bridge. Tye and Cameron nodded, as they left the bridge in a hurry. Jennifer: I will coordinate with our AA teams on the ground and we will work on bringing those Sabres down. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: I will see if I can coordinate with any of our remaining ships as well. I will check to see if Reynolds has anything that would be worth putting on the battlefield. Jennifer paused again. Jennifer: IN the mean time...we should try and consolidate as many soldiers as we can into various rendezvous points so we can eventually advance on the Apex Applied Research Building. Meanwhile: Nighthawk and Anaconda's Vulture had docked inside of the Venture Capitalist's hanger bay. As the ship touched down, Nighthawk and Anaconda stepped out of the Vulture. Nighthawk: Barrabus...would you kindly get the car hooked up to the Vulture. I am gonna grab a few things. Anaconda nodded. Nighthawk turned as he walked into the corner of the hanger bay and opened a supply crate. Inside, he grabbed a Jetpack that matched the color of his armor. Nighthawk then carried the jetpack over to the Vulture. Nighthawk: So...between Dangerus and Xyrho...which of the two would be easier to contact? Anaconda: Xyrho, more than likely. Dangerus is in command of the fleet, so he would be far more engaged with communications than Xyrho would be. Xyrho would be the one we would want to contact. As Anaconda said this, he hopped into the driver seat of the large Warthog, and started the engine. Anaconda: I am sure we can get Xyrho to talk with Dangerus from there. Anaconda began to move the Warthog closer to the aft portion of the Vulture, driving right up to the rear hatch. Nighthawk had turned away, as he walked back towards the supply crate, and grabbed a grabbed a Brute Jumpjet. Anaconda watched Nighthawk, and gave a grunt. Anaconda: What are you planning for? Nighthawk: Honestly? If we are in close quarters...in a skyscraper, with The Risk Takers...I am anticipating a possible jump off a building or out a window Anaconda laughed. Anaconda: Have these things even been tested? Nighthawk: Once or twice. They work. Anaconda: They better. Nighthawk: Common...everything I build works. Anaconda stared at Nighthawk, but then changed his attention to attaching the Warthog to the Vulture. Nighthawk: So...how much help can we expect from Xyrho and/or Dangerus? Anaconda: Depends on what we ask of them. If we flat out ask them to ignore the conflict with the UNSC...they will decline. I am sure of that. If they stop the fighting...their subordinates will begin to ask questions...and it could lead to a change of leadership through attrition. Nighthawk: Meaning? Anaconda: Someone will try to kill someone. Dangerus and Xyrho will want to avoid this at all costs. Nighthawk: So how far can we get with this then? What use can we get from asking Xyrho and/or Dangerus for help? Anaconda: If we inform them about The Trust, we can advise them on who to fight. Xyrho and Dangerus would have no qualms fighting The Trust, so long as it looks like they are leading the fight against Humans. If we give them Trust targets...we should be fine. Anaconda paused. Anaconda: Perhaps, to a degree, we can enlist their help to fight The Risk Takers. Anaconda finished hooking the Warthog up to the Vulture. He walked around the hog and approached Nighthawk. Anaconda: They will help us fight The Risk Takers...I am certain of it. Anaconda shrugged. Anaconda: The only complication will be justifying that to the Humans. While Frost may give you a pass on this, MANY others will not. If we are discovered to be in collusion with The Covenant... Nighthawk: It will damage our credibility. I am aware of that. Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: I prefer 7 vs 4 as opposed to 7 vs 2. Anaconda nodded. Anaconda: What is our plan of engagement against The Risk Takers anyway? Nighthawk: Honestly...I am not fully sure. We will be on their turf again. We will have to think of something when we are there. However, we should try to seperate them. When they are all together...they are a force for sure. Nighthawk shrugged. Nighthawk: These guys have been studying us for a long time. We have barely anything on them. Engaging them, in any setting, is very dangerous at the moment. With the Exo-Suit damaged...I cannot risk taking it into battle at the moment. Our best chance is separating The Risk Takers. Anaconda began to laugh. Anaconda: How are we still alive with such steep odds? Nighthawk began to laugh. Nighthawk: Honestly...I dunno.

[Hells Sniper]

Harrison nodded. Harrison: Agreed, I already have squads moving to set up rally points and rendezvous locations. Sending the coordinates to you now. Harrison paused and pressed a few buttons on his holotable, sending the locations of Rally Point Romeo through Zulu, and four rendezvous or fall back points. Harrison waited a few moments until the confirmation appeared on his screen. He nodded and then began speaking again. Harrison: I am deploying three squads of ODSTs to the roof to seal off that exit, meanwhile, I want Cameron and Commander Vernette to move up the building with the rest of the platoon and secure the building. Floor by floor sweep just like you said. Harrison pulled a picture of Black team. Harrison: High priority targets are ODST Black team, shoot to kill. Any high ranking officers seen, I want to try to capture, if you can't, shoot to kill is still on. Harrison paused. Harrison: Prep as many squadrons as you can, if the Covenant show up too, we will want to be able to have a secure perimeter. Meanwhile: The Risk-Takers landed their pelican on the top of the Apex Allied Research building and one by one jumped out. Liam led them into the building, where not one Trust soldier said a word. They walked a few floors down looking for Admiral Hoffman.

Aboard the Mind's Attrition, Reynolds had been sitting in his office. He was going through personnel files and cross-referencing them with the soldiers he's already lost and preparing letters to the families of the deceased. Cochraine had continued to work out on the bridge of the ship, organizing and coordinating her efforts with the deployed ground teams as she, and Reynolds, awaited orders from Admiral Harrison. As time continued to pass by, Reynolds' letters began to fill his outbox. In the back of his mind, he couldn't help but notice a nagging feeling like the Trust has been actively working on something for the past couple hours and he was keen to know what's going on so he could plan and brace ahead for it. Reynolds knew that requesting knowledge to the Trust would heighten suspicions and would likely turn the gaze of both the UNSC/ONI brass and Trust brass. Instead, he simply continued the letters, doing everything he could to keep his mind off of the Trust.

[Naked Crook]

Captain Frost acknowledged Harrison's orders. Jennifer: Copy that sir. I still have people being deployed. I will personally ensure that we have a significant show of force ready to go in very short order. Jennifer paused. Jennifer: Stand-by sir...I will need to begin coordinate. I will contact you when I have something more. Frost out. Frost closed the comm line. She looked at the holomap, as she used her right hand to entered in several commands on a control panel that was attached to the holotable. As she did, small blue lights began to pop up on the holomap. These small lights represented King Raven personnel that were currently deployed to new Havana and the surrounding areas. Jennifer: All King Raven personnel...this is Captain Frost...recall order Alpha-3 is now in effect. All frontline teams and support teams are to remain at their current position and continue engagements against The Covenant. Supplementary teams are to fall back to the designated rendezvous coordinates and await further instructions. Captain Frost tagged the rendezvous coordinates on the holomap. The coordinates were located in New Havana's city center, approximately 5 miles from the Apex Applied Research Building. Jennifer: Comms...get me an open channel with The Mind's Attrition. Inform Captain Reynolds that I need to speak with him...right away. Comms Officer: Yes Ma'am... Meanwhile: Admiral Hoffman was in what could best be described as the CEO's office, near the top of the Apex Applied Research building. From his office, he had a wide view of the city below him, out of one side of the building. He could see everything that wanted to be seen...from the gunfire to the explosions from Wraith mortar shells in the distance. Hoffman: Ants...all of them. Hoffman sighed. However, as he did, one of the screens in his office lit up, and Renegades face appeared on the screen. The screen beeped in an almost musical tone. Renegade: Hostiles detected in city sector 9. Hoffman turned around, and approached a holotable that was in the middle of the office. He looked at it, and noticed that there was a large number of UNSC soldiers gathering in the cit center. Renegade: Hostiles detected in city sector 9 airspace. Hoffman could see that there were a few Pelican dropping off a few squads of soldiers, as well as seversl Warthogs and a Scorpion Tank. Hoffman: Hostiles indeed. Hoffman turned away. Hoffman: Renegade...get me Spender. Renegade: Communication systems for that recipient are encoded for privacy. Hoffman: Hoffman-theta-theta-one... Renengade: Encoding authorization accepted. Connecting...please stand by... After a few moments, Spender appeared on another one of the large screens in the office. Spender: What is it Hoffman? Hoffman: Sir...the UNSC is landing a LOT of soldiers in the city center. They brought warthogs and tanks. I hate to sound paranoid...but that is within striking distance of this facility. Spender: That is paranoid. The UNSC has no idea that The Apex Applied Research building is a Trust installation. Hoffman: I am aware of that. However...I feel that given the circumstance...caution is required. Spender: I prefer to play this closer to the chest Admiral. Why should we make it LOOK like we are expecting an attack? For all we know...those soldiers are there to fight The Covenant. Hoffman: Possibly. I just cannot shake the feeling that something is not right. Spender sighed. Spender: If you want to be proactive, then increase the exterior defenses of the building. Start pulling Warthogs out from the parking garage and situate them in the emergancy response areas. If the UNSC does move against the Apex Applied Research building...then you will be in the perfect spot to engage. Spender paused. Spender: You can also just go ahead and take control of the city as well. If I am not mistake...Renegade's subversion protocols are ready to deploy across all city services in order to take full control of and overwrite the New Havana superintendent? Hoffman: Yes...Renegade is ready. Spender: Then engage his subversion subroutines and take control of the city. Spender paused. Spender: And...if you must...deploy the city defenses. Bring the automated defense turrets online and engage the anti air weaponry that has been position around the The Apex Applied Research building. Bring everything online if you must...but do not tip your hand before the UNSC does. If the UNSC wants access to that building...make them die for it. Same goes for The Covenant. Spender paused. Spender: Anything else? Hoffman: No...sir. Spender: Good. I look forward to reuniting Vanguard with his design schematics. Be sure that you get that terminal out of that building in one piece. I cannot WAIT to see how much damage this thing can do. Spender grinned, as he closed the comm line. Hoffman sighed, as he turned to the screen with Renegade's avatar on it. Hoffman: Renegade...make it ours... Renegade gave several beeps, as his avatar vanished from the screen.

[Kairu]

Cochraine had seen the request for communications with Reynolds. She then forwarded it to Reynolds in his office. Reynolds opened the message and entered his authorization code. The screen popped up with Frost on the screen. Reynolds: "Captain Frost, what do I owe the pleasure?"
