Chapter 2

24 hours after the opening of the pod the being is still unconscious. Rommel wrote in a journal.

"Sir?" Marseille asked

"What is it Marseille?" Asked Rommel

"That thing is waking up!"

"What! Incredible!"

The two run to the large tent where the creature is laying on a table

"Gruuggg" the creature groaned

"Is he injured?" Rommel asked

"Yes sir both legs are broken he must have taken a bad fall." Replied Otto

"Max are any other bones broken?" Asked Marseille

"I'm no doctor jochen" replied Max

"Then get him some bandages he's bleeding out!"

"Alright Alright"

"Get me some water to Max" said Otto

"Why?"

"To wake this thing up."

"Don't just dump it on him!" Said Rommel in a serious tone

"Fine we'll pour the water slowly" replies Otto

Max returns with the water and a bread stick

"Thanks for the water Max...why do you have a bread stick?" Said Otto

"The Italians gave it to me" Max replied smiling

They pour the water on the creature's face and it wakes up

"Who?! What!? How?!" Yelled the creature in a very startled voice

"State your name, rank, affiliation and race!" Said Rommel in a very stern voice

"Who are you? How did I get here? How did you capture me!" Yelled the creature

"Answer the damn questions!" Yelled Rommel

"Answer mine first!" Yelled the creature

"Marseille shoot him in the leg now!" Yelled Rommel who was quite angry

"Yes sir!" Marseille pulled out a Mauser C96 that Max gave him and shot the creature's leg

"Aaaahhhhhhh" screamed the creature in agony

"Ready to answer them now?" Said Rommel

"Fine fine my name is Thel Vadamee i am of the Sangheili race I am the arbiter of the covenant empire and I out rank you captain" the creature replied in a first fearful then stern voice

"I am Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of the Afrika Korps and I out rank you." Rommel replied

"I do my rank is above field marshall"

"In your army but not mine! We have no such rank!"

"Well what year is it...your weapons are primitive to mine." Replied Thel

"It's 1941"

"WHAT THATS IMPOSSIBLE IT WAS 2552 WHEN I WAS SEND ON MY MISSION?!"

"2552?! Incredible..." Replied Rommel
