I like the covenant when you see things from their perspective (of course there's nothing wrong with shooting their guts out of an assault rifle) but they give you something different from humans, so here's a little covenant thrown in.
"Shipmaster, we are trapped in a slip space tunnel of the humans' creating, we cannot withdraw, it is putting out enormous amount of energy," flight consul Reezo Rucarzomee said.
"Then we shall not cringe from this, it is a challenge we are intended to take," fleet commander Farnee Mukaromee said, "Fleet commander to all ships; forward, into the abyss."
"No this, is no test," a voice said from the shadows.
"Noble prophet of Faith, I beg, explain," Mukaromee asked.
"This is nothing more than a freak accident, it is not destiny," the prophet of Faith said, hovering into view on his anti-gravatic chair.
"Then we must be prepared, for the Gods have not deemed us follow these humans, but we shall prevail over them no matter the circumstances," Mukaromee said, determination in his voice.
Kirap muttered inwardly as he slept, he was dreaming about his home world, where he could breathe free and open without these accursed rebreathers to supply him with precious methane, he remembered the open swamp land that his family had lived in. The small, single island in the greatest swamp of the planet that he had called his own, where he had gone and dreamed of travelling the stars, then he was brought quickly back to reality, his home world faded.
"Wake up now!" Kirap heard, followed by a sharp blow to his side, knocking him to the ground.
Kirap jumped to life quickly enough, jabbering incessant apologies for not listening. He looked up in the glaring eyes of sangheili, no doubt angry for having been forced to wait, or even more so for Kirap having been asleep in the first place.
"There is much work to be done," the sangheili said.
Kirap grunted and joined the ragged bunch of unggoy following behind, most drooping slightly, probably just woken up too. As they moved on Kirap sighed to himself, and a single thought prevailed through his mind.
How could I ever have dreamt of leaving my home world for this?
