[Halo] New! San Angeles RPG

When Reynolds and Cochraine had saluted to Harrison, he had nodded back, but continued to listen in and be quiet during most of the conversation. The little argument about Jacob sparked Harrison's interest with Reynolds a little more, but he continued to focus on the matter at hand rather than already fixed positions. Jacob had turned coat. There was no denying that and Harrison had to accept it. He had to. So he would go along with this plan and make sure that they extracted as much information as they possibly could. He finally decided to chime in, as the senior officer, his word was still law. Harrison: Nighthawk will be interrogating Hoffman. That is fact and I won't hear anything else about it. Harrison shook his head. Harrison: No, he is not part of the UNSC or ONI for that matter. He can do things none of us here can. He can do things none of us would EVER be able to do. Harrison paused. Harrison: There is no way in hell I will ever trust the man, but he hates the Trust as much as the rest of us. He can do this and I will allow him to do what is necessary. Harrison shrugged. Harrison: At the moment, there is no other way. And that's the end of the discussion. Meanwhile: Dangerus turned to Xyrho and Vhat when they entered the War Room. He nodded at each of them. Dangerus: Come join me, you two.

Jennifer grinned, as she nodded. Jennifer: You will have my full support on this. I have your back on this... Jennifer paused. Jennifer: Always will. You know that...right? Nighthawk laughed a bit, as he turned to face the door. Nighthawk: I don't what I did to deserve you... Jennifer: Let's leave that a mystery...it will be more exciting that way. Jennifer nudged Nighthawk with her elbow, as the elevator slowed down. Jennifer: Alright...get serious... Just as Jennifer finished saying this, the elevator door opened, and they both stepped of the elevator, and walked down a short corridor, stepping onto the bridge. Just as they stepped onto the bridge, Nighthawk and Jennifer heard the tail-end of Harrison's statements. Nighthawk: End of discussion? What discussion would that be Harrison? Meanwhile: Xyrho led Vhat into the war room, as he approached Dangerus. Xyrho: Fleetmaster...what is it that you need from us?

"Reynolds flipped his shit, so to speak. He thought letting you interrogate Hoffman would undermine UNSC authority." He said matter of factly, saluting as Jennifer came onto the bridge. "Ma'am."

Reynolds: "Spartan, you will show respect towards me. I'm a naval officer and I outrank you. But, he isn't wrong. I still feel that way, however, both Admiral Harrison and Commander Vernette both assure me that you are the best candidate to lead the questioning. The Admiral was just putting in his authority that you are leading this metaphorical dance and that's where he was ending the discussion." Cochraine and Fireteam Harmony awkwardly and uncomfortably stared at Reynolds, who seemed to be getting agitated at the chain of events aboard the King Raven. He understood full well why Yates and the rest of the senior members of the Trust were so keen on stopping Nighthawk and the King Raven as a whole. The soldiers and the senior officers are deluded with the idea that Nighthawk is their best option, when, in all actuality, Nighthawk should be apprehended and taken into custody. He's right where the Trust can capitalize on him and he was virtually powerless. Reynolds knew that even if he decided to go and take matters into his own hands, his attempt at putting Nighthawk into UNSC custody would fail miserably and backfire on him. Instead, he had to continue playing the part of the loyal UNSC officer, bound to the idea that the UNSC is slowly corrupting itself in a situation like this.

The Spartan nodded. "I am just relaying what I observed. Duly noted."

Jennifer: At ease. Nighthawk, on the other hand, folded his arms as he looked at Reynolds. Nighthawk: You are damn right I am going to be leading this dance. Nighthawk chuckled a bit. Nighthawk: Just try not to lose your shit after you see my methods...as wholesome as they are... Nighthawk gave Reynolds a nod, as if to provoke him. Meanwhile: Aboard The Ulterior Motive, Yates was in his office. He was currently in the progress of fabricating progress reports that he had no doubt he would need once San Angeles was all said and done. Yates was buried in his work. However, he eventually took his eyes off the screen to rest his eyes, as he laid back in his chair. As he leaned back his chair, he saw a small blue light on his PDA blinking. He picked up his PDA, and he looked at it, and saw he had one unread message. He opened the message, decrypted it, and his jaw dropped. Hoffman captured and moved King Raven for further interrogation. Yates gave a deep sigh, as he knew that this news was going over like a lead balloon. Yates: Ohhh...no...ONI has Hoffman... Yates paused. Yates: Fuck...

The SPARTAN put his hands behind his back, watching Nighthawk intently. Observing. Scanning for weaknesses just in case, plus observing his behavior curiously.

Reynolds: "Well the Admiral's made his decision and it's part of my responsibilities to accept it and move on with it. If the Admiral thinks you're in line, then who am I to say otherwise? I'm just a naval officer, not a soldier. And if my own soldiers say I'm wrong, then I'm alone in my thinking."

Harrison glared at Reynolds. Harrison: That will be enough Captain. Harrison looked back towards Nighthawk and Frost. Harrison: Alright, Nighthawk. I'm going to go in first, ease him up to make as if we're handling this by the book. I'll step out...you'll go in. Simple enough. That sound good to everyone here? Meanwhile: Dangerus looked at Vhat and Xyrho as they walked over, he turned back to the holotank and stared. Dangerus: I would like to know what you encountered down there. Furium was in here, he told me about a team of those... Dangerus turned and shrugged. Dangerus: Metal humans?

[Naked Crook]

Nighthawk looked at Harrison and shrugged. Nighthawk: You set him up and I knock him down? Sounds fair. Sorta like the good cop bad cop angle. Nighthawk paused. Nighthawk: I can work with this no problem. Meanwhile: Xyrho looked at Dangerus and nodded. Xyrho: I believe the Humans call them Spartans. However, yes, we were engaged by "the metal Humans". Much like the last time...they were battling against that Human and his Brute ally. Xyrho paused. Xyrho: It should be known that I gave the order to engage those Spartans in battle. I felt that was more urgant than anything else. While those Spartans managed to escape...they did so in fear of defeat. Xyrho paused. Xyrho: In a way...this was a strategic victory. I am not sure if Furium sees it that way given what I now HAVE that he, or anyone else for that matter, does not know that I have. Xyrho paused. Xyrho: I found something that will help us to destroy the construct...
