Ship of Indignation
Date: Unknown

Azdo walked through the Barrack halls. Elites and Grunts all conversed about the alliance with the humans. Some were excited, others were irritated, and some could careless. He walked to his squad that would be infiltrating the Capital ship. Greb and Nesna would be in two different squads infiltrating the other sides of it. The mission would have some relative ease, as they all knew the layouts of the ships. He had to think if the Brutes knew that there were Elites so close near by. The ships COM speaker went off, it was the Ship Master. "Every one, we will be exiting Slip Space in a short amount of time, we will engage them in ship to ship combat, then we will send in boarding pods. That is all." The COM went silence. He wondered what would exactly happen. Would he survive the ordeal? Would he live long enough to see victory? He didn't want to think about death right now.

The sirens went off as they were exiting Slip Space. He looked at one of the screens and he saw the Covenant Ships were just beyond the rim of the radar scanners. They must've had it on close proximity. "Elites and Grunts board your Phantoms. You will depart soon." He stepped inside his Phantom, and they departed into the big black space.
