Location: Sangheilios
Primary Faction(s): Covenant Separatists
Date: Early 2553
Status: Operation Complete/New Orders received
Force: 1 Covenant Carrier
Situation: The war had ended, and the last Separatist ship had left Earth bound for home. When the Arbiters Carrier and many others returned to Sangheilios, it was revealed that it had been attacked by Brutes, but were bravely fought off. Reconstruction had already begun, but also had decorating. It was a time for celebration. The war was over.
Later that night, the Brutes attacked again, raiding refugee camps, kidnapping women and children. Elites in the area banded together and boarded a Brute cruiser in a desperate attempt to rescue the civilians before the Arbiter launched a deadly counter attack. Success, the civilians were saved and the Sangheili fleet drove the Brutes back into orbit.
Now, the Elites have received word that a human colony has had some recent activity, both human and non-human. A cruiser, 'Forerunner's Hammer' has volunteered to investigate. The cruiser is currently docked in the space port and is being re-armed and supplied.

Zarra carried her bag off the Phantom. She paused for a moment thinking, "The armory, should be... that way." She went off in the dirrection she had just indicated toward, and quickly found the armory. "I need a new set of armor," she told the Unggoy behind the desk. "Name?" "Zarra 'Yairum." "Rank?" "Major, Special Operations." The Unggoy entered the information into a computer. "It says here you're supposed to be on Earth," he reported supprised. "It does?" said Zarra, suddonly remembering that she had left for Sangheilos a little earlier than she should have. "Well, um... you see... um..."

Katar walked into the Armory and saw the Major struggling. "don't worry I reassigned here to Sanghelios do I make myself clear" said Katar as he approached the Grunt. "also I need my War gear" said Katar. (Ooc I just think a Councilors Headress wouldn't really work in combat as it weighs the Councilor down but I guess he needs to so he is just getting an Asentic Helmet and a Headress that would go with that) *** Inwa Killam waited in the chair of her ship as it was refueled. "we can begin loading the warriors onboard" said Inwa. "of course Misstress" said her Grunt assistant as he hit the botton to lower the rift. "the boarding process may now begin" said the Deacon over the hanger comn system.

"Thank you, sir," said Zarra quietly. "I'll be back to pick up my armor shortly. I just need to find a room quickly or I'll have to stay in the medics' barracks again." She hurried off.

"On my word," Anau said, grasping one corner of the weapons canister. "Lift," With the help of three minors, Anau lifted a weapons canister and carried it into the hanger of the Cruiser. "Put it down gently," Anau said, letting the canister slowly slip through his hands when it suddenly crashed onto the hanger floor. Anau looked at one of the minors, who was glaring at another. "Sorry sir, it slipped," he said, then rushing away, the other minors quickly following. Thankful the canister wasn't full of explosives, Anau turned and watched as the cruiser was loaded. "Quite a site, isn't it?" a major asked, joining him next to the canister. "It is," Anau said, turning and smiling. "How have you been, brother?" "I've been better," Nichuli replied. "Is there no end to this?" he laughed. Anau put his hand on his shoulder and laughed with him. "It's good to see you," "Likewise," he replied. "We'll talk more on the planet, I'm confident this is skirmish wont take long. For now, I have duties I need to attend to," Nichuli said. "That's my little brother," Anau said happily. Nichuli smiled and shoved Anau, then running off into the hanger. "Right, the armoury," Anau sighed.

Zarra quickly found a room and dropped off her things, hoping that would be enough to keep someone else from taking the room, then hurried back to pick up her armor. "A few more minutes," the Unggoy informed her. She sighed and sat down to wait.

Finally, Anau wondered into the armoury. "This is a hard place to find," Anau said, seeing Zarra waiting patiently. "I need some replacement armour," he said, approaching the grunt. "Busy, very busy," he replied. "I just need new arm and thigh guards, and some Carbine ammunition if you have any," Anau said. "Fine, fine," he growled, running into the back and quickly returning with what Anau requested. "Thank you, but, this armour is white, mine is bl-" "Busy," the grunt said, turning back to his duties. Anau took the ammo and armour and sat next to Zarra.

Zarra chuckled, "He seemed to act a little more polite when I talked to him. Maybe I can help." She stood and went over to the desk. "Excuse me-" "Here!" The Grunt handed her a set of armor. Zarra almost dropped it with surprise. "I'm sorry, but, I'm afraid this is Minor armor, and I was also going to ask-" The Grunt groaned "Where is that lazy Zipflip? No help from him, no. All by myself. No help. No help at all." "I won't trouble you anymore then," said Zarra, walking back to Anau, "Of course there weren't as many people here before. Well, at least your new armor is one of the colors typical of your rank. I'm afraid you'll something like a..." she paused, trying to remember the name of the animal, "...a penguin? I think that's it. Those funny black and white birds that swim."

"Did you hear that?" Anau asked the Grunt. "I am now going to look like a flightless- aquatic bird," he said, letting out a little laughter as he did. "Anyway," he said, turning back to Zarra. "You wouldn't have happened to get a room?"

"A room? Yes I did find one," said Zarra, "I should probably go there now and change into this armor."

"Ah, good," Anau said, strapping on his replacment armour. "Is there room for two?"

"I think so; it's not a tiny room," said Zarra, "Though one of would have to sleep on the floor if we don't get where we're going before night fall. Still better than the barracks. Did you not find a room in time?"

Katar walked to the Grunt. "could you also please give me there proper armor colors..I am sure you remember them..if it is no trouble I want my troops in the right color of armor" said Katar. "yes..yes of course sir" said the Grunt nervously. He really hoped Zapflip would show up as due to the mission of the Councilor he was busier then ever. "here is your armor just as you left it sir..but we found this shard of glass in it" said the Grunt. "ah yes give me that" said Katar as he picked up the shard of glass. He then got his armor and went into a changing room. Thoughts of how he obtained the shard filled his head. *** He was going onto the surface of the recently glassed world...this world used to home to a Demon..thankfully he glassed it. He removed two shards one for him and one for the Prophets. *** He laughed as he remembered the Spartan fleeing from him that day and then seeing the Spartan again and the anger in his eyes.

"No, I didn't get a chance to look," Anau said, standing up. "Thank you for letting me stay with you though, but if it's too much trouble, I can stay with my brother,"

"Don't worry about it. It's perfectly alright," said Zarra, "It would be nice to have someone to talk to, and I enjoy your company."
