[Halo] New! Halo RPG Pt. 11

[Naked Crook]

Vernette: Well...I have been reading the reports from my Officers. My best people seem to believe that Tylan is a fool. I trust the opinion of my top people. Burke interjected. Burke: He allowed his ship to charge into tactical situations that he was not prepared to handle. As a result...I had to subject my ship, and myself, to damage and injury to save his ass. He makes bone headed decisions.

Cochraine then entered the Observation Deck. She then began to greet everyone. Cochraine: "Director, Admirals, and judging from the absense of Commander Tylan, I presume you're his replacement?" Cochraine's facial expressions changed from business to disgust when she saw the Brutes. Cochraine: "You..." Cochraine was doing her best to restrain herself so she sat herself down in an available chair. As soon as she sat down, she crossed her legs, swing her foot fast, from nervousness.

[Naked Crook]

Barrabus looked at Cochraine. Barrabus: I have a name...use it. Vernette interjected. Vernette: Captain Cochraine...I would ask that you try and show a certain level of respect to our guests...especially when the person you are speaking to is a highly respected military commander...and a personal friend of mine. You would never address me as simply "you"...so I ask that you extend the same level of respect to our guests.

[Kairu]

Cochraine: "Yes Sir, I understand." Cochraine turned to face Barrabus. Cochraine began to stammer and eventually mumbled out an apology. Cochraine: "Sorry..." Although she didn't like it, she knew Vernette was invariably right about his logic and point. Even though she had no tolerance to other species, she had to treat the Chieftain with the same respect as any political or military leader, Human or Alien. She concluded that she must, whether she likes it or not.

Barrabus: Think nothing more of it. We are allies...it would be very counter-productive to start infighting when there are larger and more immediate concrns. Barrabus paused. Barrabus: If everyone is here...then I may as well get on with it. Barrabus began to pace around the Observation Deck. Barrabus: I recently discovered tha The Trust had managed to establish a very large operations center on my homeworld. From what we could tell...it was being prepared to manufacture the clones that your military has been fighting.

[Kairu]

Cochraine was shocked. Cochraine: "I would assume you didn't know. Judging from how your..." Cochraine paused trying to find a better way to politely express her distaste. Cochraine: "Species behaves, you wouldn't have knowingly allowed it. You're too honor-bound for your own good to allow such terrible duplicates be cloned. The part that gets me is... why are you telling us? I'm sure you'd have no problem dealing with this base of theirs."

[Naked Crook]

Barrabus. We have already dealt with this facility...and we captured survivors in the process. We have ensured...the finest "accomodations" for the scientists we captured. Barrabus paused. He looked at Vernette. Barrabus: I will turn over what is left of them, to you. Vernette: What is left? Barrabus grinned. Vernette: Ignoring the fact that I will be getting back what "is left" of Trust sientists...why are you here? Don't take this the wrong way...but if you have already offlined the facility, why are you telling us this? Barrabus: I have discovered that The Trust is in possesion of a dangerous and powerful weapon. I am here to warn you...and to assist our "allies" in a task of mutual interest.

[Kairu]

Cochraine: "Weapons? Like what a giant spacestation the size of a moon that can blow up a planet?" Cochraine said sarcastically to Barrabus. Cochraine: "Personally, I don't see how this is entirely useful." Cochraine mumbled a little trying to hide more of her sarcasm.

[Hells Sniper]

Within that moment, Troy and the others walked onto the observation deck. All the heads turned towards the eight soldiers as they entered. Troy: Apologies, Director. Troy walked ahead of the group and greeted the officers in front of him, nodding at each of them. Troy: Good to see all of you. The Agents, Dakota, and Dallas all took a seat at the conference table, acknowledging the brass by nodding as they passed them by. Troy stood, he preferred to stand. He simply looked at Barrabus. Troy: Please, continue...I did not mean to interrupt, Chieftain.

[Naked Crook]

Barrabus looked at Troy and grunted. Barrabus: As I was saying...The weapon that The Trust has is a ship. According to Tye...after he did...whatever it is he does, he managed to determine that The Trust facilitybwas reporting to a vessel known as "The Bismarck". Hayes spoke up. Hayes: Never heard of it. Burke: Same here. The name doesn't ring a bell. Hayes and Burke looked over to Vernette. They could see the xpression on his face was one of extreme displeasure. Burke: Sir? Vernette didn't respond. He simly stood up, and glared at Barrabus. Vernette: Vernette: Has this been confirmed? Is Tye certain about this? Barrabus removed an AI chip that was integrated into his armor, and tossed it across the room, at Vernette. Barrabus: Ask him yourself...but you know as well as I...that Tye is never wrong about these things...
