Jennifer looked at Cochraine for a moment. Jennifer then spoke up.

Jennifer: Commander Cochraine...I don't know if you realize this...but men like Hoffman and Jacob...these are men of the uniform! These men used their uniforms as a means to an end.

Jennifer frowned.

Jennifer: They have deliberatly and intentionally acted against the interests of The UNSC. Instead of fighting with us against The Covenant, they use our fight with The Covenant to capitalize on us.

Jennifer paused.

Jennifer: Look at Jacob as an example of how The Trust operates. He was our friend...and he used his friendship to get close to us, all while he was reporting on us behind our backs. That is nefarious!

Jennifer scoffed.

Jennifer: This is very personal Commander. This is very, very personal.

Reynolds: "And what if Captain Sharpmen is a double agent for us? What if there's something personal going on? I'm not going to blame him until we here his defense."

The Spartan sighed and remained silent, hands behind his back once again as he looked over to Cameron, deactivating his VISR to show his rather exasperated expression.

Cameron kept his visor active, as he simply listened. Behind his visor, Cameron shifted his eyes towards Dark, but he did not budge.

Tye, on the other hand, interjected.

Tyber: A double agent? Sir...I am not sure if you are aware or not, but Jacob made his intentions very clear when he opened fire on our people. We lost over a dozen soldiers when he began to fire on us.

Tye paused.

Tyber: I spoke to the damn guy, and he made his intentions very clear. His loyalty is to The Trust, above all else. He pulled the wool over our eyes and he had no regrets for what he did. There was no individation of it.

Jennifer nodded.

Jennifer: Even if Jacob was acting in the capacity of a double agent...he was never given the order to do so. He acted on his own, and he turned coat.

Kairu · 07-22-2014

Reynolds: "Even if he isn't under orders, it still doesn't make him a traitor if he's acting as a double agent."

Arman: "Captain Reynolds, he still sniped our fellow soldiers. Even if Jacob is a double agent against the Trust, he still murdered people who either didn't have a clue, were in no cover, and were more or less helpless against him. We did our best to blast him out of his nest to keep him from continuing his rampage."

Robertson stepped in.

Robertson: "I agree that he's a traitor, Captain, I'm sorry."

Reynolds knew that even if Fireteam Harmony was against him, he was on the losing side in the argument. He didn't bother continuing to defend Jacob in front of a group of people who were adamant in not willing to be persuaded otherwise.

Reynolds: "Since I'm wrong, let's move back on topic, where's Admiral Harrison?"

Dark-F137 · 07-22-2014

He reactivated the VISR soon after, he just made his feelings toward the situation known. Jesse meanwhile, was heading over to the crew quarters, removing his helmet. "This blows." He said, sighing.

Naked Crook · 07-22-2014

Jennifer looked at Reynolds, then simply looked to the side, directing Reynold's attention to the far side of the bridge, where Harrison was standing to the side, simply observing the conversation.

Jennifer: He has been here for a while. He arrived shortly before you did.

Meanwhile:

Nighthawk had finished gearing up, and he had loaded up his Vulture with his equipment. Nighthawk was doing final checks on his Cyclops, as he ensured that it was properly connected to the Vulture.

As Nighthawk finished this up, he was contacted by HAWK.

HAWK: Nighthawk...the firmware update is complete. You are good to go.

Nighthawk nodded.

Nighthawk: Thanks HAWK. Good work.

HAWK was silent for a moment before he spoke up.

HAWK: Nighthawk...just keep in mind that this Cyclops is still damaged. Despite the firmware updates...the damage to this Cyclops will hinder it's effectiness in combat,

Nighthawk: I understand HAWK. I understand...

Nighthawk fell silent, as he turned, and walked into the Vulture. He entered the cockpit and he began his pre-flgiht sequence. It did not take Nighthawk long to depart from The Venture Capitalist, and begin to make his way to The King Raven.

Kairu · 07-23-2014

Reynolds turned and saw Harrison.

Reynolds: "Sorry, Sir. Excuse me."

Both him and Cochraine saluted to Harrison.

Naked Crook · 07-23-2014

Nighthawk's Vulture began its approach towards towards The King Raven. As he closed in on The King Raven, he began to transmit docking clearance.

Nighthawk: King Raven...do you copy? THis is NIghthawk...and I am requesting docking clearance.

Nighthawk waited for a response from The King Raven.

Meanwhile:

Jennifer watched as Reynolds saluted Harrison. As Reynolds saluted, Jennifer heard her name called by the comms officer.

Communication's Officer: Ma'am? We have an incoming request for docking from that Nighthawk guy. DO we let him in?

Jennifer: Yes...transmit clearance and let him in.

Jennifer paused, as she turned to leave the bridge.

Jennifer: I will go and personally grab Nighthawk. Burke...you have the bridge.

With nothing else, Jennifer left the bridge, making her way down to the hanger bay.

Dark-F137 · 07-23-2014

"Hmm." The Spartan commented as Jennifer left, looking over to Burke. "Doctor." He regarded him formally, before looking over to Cameron. "It has been quite a while, Z091." He said.
