" it is a pleasure to meet you too Major...and yes I think we are ready to leave" said Otto. " Oh and I was just wondering if you knew a way I could contact Councilor Katar...the only contact to your command that I have...I need to set up a meeting right away...its alright if you don't as I understand that if you asked for a way to contact one of our leaders I would be of no help to you" said Otto embarassed.

Echo snapped off a casual salute and nodded to the Elite. He turned to the Captain. "Are we almost to the hangar? I'd do more good in a fighter than I would clearin' boarders."

"yes I just have to tell someone on the other side to open the emergency blast doors" said Otto. "Open up its me" said Otto over the comn into the hanger. "Roger that Commander" replyed a flight deck operation and an alarm sounded as the blasts doors slowly rose up.

Echo chuckled to himself as the door slid into the ceiling. His Longsword had already been fueled up and ready for launch. An Eagle clutching a set of arrows with one claw and a group of Archer missiles in the other was painted along the side of the cockpit. These Rifters wouldn't stand a chance. He saw the rest of his squad were already in their fighters and gestured the captain over.

(OoC: There are no Rifter ships in the area, just fyi)
Anau stepped into the hanger but was unsure of what to do next. Many, if not all of the Human survivors had gathered here. As he looked around, a pile of Rifter corpses lay in the corner of the hanger and a recently arrived Phantom hovered idly by the Longsword. "Katar, you say?" Anau asked the Human, then quickly adjusting his voice, "I'm sure the Council will want to speak with you, Commander, so a meeting with him shouldnt be a problem," he said. "Tell me, what happened?"

" yes well thank you" said Otto. " To answer your question it went down like this":
" The Rifters...the people who have been shooting at you invaded Earth...I was at the battle. They shut down our Orbital Defence Mainframe...so we lost our edge if we even ever had one. Most of our ships were called to try and defeat this fleet. We got some good hits in but they were just too strong for us...and I performed a cowards move and ordered all remaining ships perform a slipspace jump to Sanghelios so we would be safe if they followed us and to ask for your help but I fear I have only put you guys in danger....I am sorry" said Otto ashamed of his cowardness and for potentally bring the elites down with him. " As you can see many of us did not make the jump as they shot us as we entered slipspace"

"Earth has been attacked?" Anau questioned, "By these Rifters? By the Gods..." Anau growled, then turning back to the Commander. "Never fear Human, the decision to make the jump saved many lives, however like you said, you may have put ours in jeopardy. You must meet with the Council immediatly," he then turned to Zarra. "Major, we must get this Human to the surface."

"yes and if I put you all in danger then I am terriblely sorry but I think united we can defeat them" said Otto. "do not praise me I am a coward and you know it...I was too afraid to use my last resort...it may of stopped the Rifters if I used it at the cost of most if not all of those in orbit above Earth" said Otto as he thought of the still armed nuclear missles and bombs that were loaded. He used his command interface to disarm the nuclear weapons.

Zarra nodded, "I will contact the Councilor, if I can, once we are onboard a dropship. Katar is actually a good friend of mine, so it shouldn't be too hard. As for these Rifters, anyone who would attack an ally of the Sangheili will certainly have more trouble than they bargained for. Don't worry about that."

"Fregattenkapitän Strauß, dürfen wir nicht mit? Ich möchte gern den Heimatplaneten den Eliten besuchen." (Commander Strauß, may we come with you? I would like very much to see the Elite's homeworld.)

"Ja können Sie mitkommen, aber das ist kein Urlaub" said Otto. (Yes you may come along but this is no vacation). "Thank you Major and hmm you are friends with a Councilor that must come in handy" said Otto as he bowed his head to the Elite Major. He bit his lip. "though I hear this Councilor hates humans is that true or is thisjust a rumor" asked Otto.

"Well, he holds a grudge, and he has a short temper," warned Zarra, "That temper is especially short around your kind. I would show him the highest respect, if I were you, and I would keep the meeting brief."

" thank you for the advice Major and I will show him the highest respect and I will even come in my officer uniform and not in this..yep thats right there is a man under this suit and not some Demon" said Otto with a laugh. "Rommel is my suit packed somewhere in this hanger" asked Otto. " yes sir it is stored in a Pelican...I will have someone send it to you before your meeting" said Rommel. "thank you" replyed the Spartan.

"If ya don't mind, Cap, I'd like to fly escort", Echo said. "Sittin' around on a wounded ship doesn't have much appeal..."
