[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

Novak: You are permitted to leave. You are no longer required to be here. However...keep one thing in mind; speak of this to nobody, save for Reynolds himself. Novak paused. Novak: Simply proceed to the hanger bay; two decks down, and request transport BACK to the Mind's Attrition. If anyone gives you a hard time, simply tell them to contact me, I will sort everything out. Novak paused once more. Novak: If there is nothing else...you are dismissed. See yourself out.

Cochraine quickly became suspicious of what she was told. She didn't like that she was told to keep her healing progress a secret. Cochraine: "There is something else. Why is there so much secrecy going on around here?"

Dangerus looked at Nighthawk. Dangerus: Anaconda promised us something in return for your help. Plus... Dangerus watched the Spartans begin to retreat. Dangerus: I always did enjoy chasing my meals sometimes. Meanwhile: Liam looked at Jacob and smiled. Liam: We are going to double back around and hit them from the side. Try and keep up? Jacob nodded and soon enough, Liam and Savannah had darted off. Jacob followed, or at least tried to. Savannah: You are sure about this? Liam looked behind him and saw Jacob running, he nodded. Liam: He knows what needs to be done. Meanwhile: Harrison nodded, he had his doubts about Reynolds. He could never really come to trust him as a fellow Naval commander. Harrison: Understood. Do you have anything else of noteworthiness? Anything you care to tell me?

Reynolds wasn't sure if he was going to mention it, but he felt it was for the better. Reynolds: "Yes, two more things. The former Vice-Admiral explained to me who he felt were the UNSC's bad guys. He felt that the Human and Brute, Nighthawk and Anaconda, I believe he called them, were trouble. I also found a 'blank spot' in orbit. I had surmised that both aforementioned teams must have some sort of invisible ships in orbit. I believe I found one of them. I will hand that data to you, if you wish."

Harrison nodded. Harrison: Yes, send me every piece of information you acquired. Harrison paused. Harrison: You are correct, they are called Nighthawk and Anaconda. And as of now, they are no longer enemies of us. They are working with us, so keep the comments to yourself. Harrison nodded. Harrison: If that is all. You are dismissed.

Nighthawk looked at Dangerus. He half expected a response like that. Nighthawk: Who doesn't? Nighthawk paused. He then got serious about the matter. Nighthawk: Look...to be frank...I have no idea what was promised to you. Anaconda: I promised them we would share any relevant information we found here. Nighthawk: There is a statuet of limitations on that. I will not hand over tactical, classified, or restricted information that can be used against the UNSC. It is not up for discussion. If you try to take information that can be used against UNSC forces on this planet... Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: I may not fly the flag of the UNSC...but I have always appreciated what they ideally stand for. Nighthawk paused again. Nighthawk: If you touch anything, with the intent on using it against The UNSC...I will immediatly turn hostile...and I will do whatever I must, no matter the personal risk, to stop you. You may be bigger, stronger, and faster than I am...but I am smarter than you, and my backbone is mader of sterner stuff than yours. This is not an opinion...it is a fact. Do not destroy my faith in diplomacy by double crossing me. Xyrho looked at Dangerus. Personally, Xyrho was very indifferent to have orders given to him by someone in The Covenant. However, standing here, and having terms dictated towards him and Dangerus was nearly unbearable, and even quite aggravating. However, Xyrho kept his cool in the matter...knowing that the authoritarian tone that Nighthawk had taken was not something that should be leisurely tested. Meanwhile: Tye frowned at Black 1. However, Tye did not falter in his stance. Tyber: Jonas...if you think you are better than me...you are free to test that assumption at your convinence. Jonas: Ohh? Jonas paused. The first thing he did was he tossed his Assault Rifle and Sidearms to the side. Jonas: I was hoping you would say that. Tye watched as Jonas tossed his weapons aside. Tye follow suit, disarming himself. Tyber: Hand to hand...nothing more. Let's see who is really better...shall we? Jonas and Tye each stepped back, as they began to circle around one another. Their hands were raised, and they were in a combat stance. The two men simply exchanged glares as they each analyzed the others footing and stance. For all intents and purposes, the two had the same footing, same stance, and the same movement. The rest of Black Team watched the exchange go down. As much as they wanted to make this a quick and easy kill, they all knew that Black 1 wanted nothing more than to square off like this for a long time. Meanwhile: Novak looked at Cochraine, almost confused by her question. Novak: Secrecy is how we work. You know...not everyone in the military stands in a spotlight while they work. THere is much work that goes on behind the scenes that, if exposed, would do much more harm than good. Surly to God you can appreciate this fact?

Reynolds: "I will personally have it encrypted and transmitted to you when I return to my ship. Thank you, Sir." Meanwhile: Cochraine frowned at Novak. She couldn't stand his jests. She left the medbay and followed the same path she traveled before, back to the hangar bay where she would request a ride back to her ship. The sooner she got off of the Ulterior Motive, the better she'd feel.

Harrison nodded. Harrison: See to it, immediately, Captain. And be prepared to be on my call at any time. Harrison paused. He nodded at Reynolds and then turned away. Harrison: You are dismissed. Meanwhile: Dangerus grunted. He did not like being pestered by Nighthawk or even being told what to do, but for now he would oblige. Dangerus: Understood, Nighthawk. Now...I think your prey is getting away. Dangerus pointed to the Risk-Takers who had since left the room and was heading back down the hallway.

[Kairu]

Reynolds nodded and left the observation deck in a hurry. He wanted to leave the Vigorous Inferno and get away from scrutiny and suspicion instead returning to his domain. As he returned to the pelican and along his journey back to the Mind's Attrition, he questioned whether or not to tamper with the data. If he gave Harrison the information, it could easily locate the Trust and ultimately destroy all progress he made with him, instantly turning a clandestine organization into a personal nemesis. He continued to contemplate his choice as he traveled back to his ship.

Nighthawk nodded. Nighthawk: Yes...my prey. Nighthawk reached onto his back and drew his Shotgun. He turned and faced the direction that The Risk Taker's had fallen back towards. Nighthawk began to move forward, taking rapid steps. Nighthawk had his Shotgun raised as he continued to move forward. Nighthawk was on point, as Anaconda followed in tow, with his Gravity Hammer drawn. Xyrho took up the rear of the group, holding one of his energy blades in his hands. Xyrho followed behind Dangerus. Xyrho was very uncertain about dealing with this Human and this Brute...two people who, for all intents and purposes, had no loyalty to anyone. It was far too precarious to last. However, Xyrho simply kept his eyes and ears open for the firs sign of any sort of treachery.
