The First Sighting
Enrika 'Tanamee sat at the security controls, wondering when his replacement would be here. The Divine Intervention, posted at the Threshold system in the ruins of the divine ring, was bound for a long period of boredom. Having been on the ship that was left as a guard while the rest of the fleet, along with High Charity, went to meet the Prophet of Regret. 'Tanamee stretched in his chair and thought of his home on High Charity. Ever since he was placed on this deadbeat ship, he thought often of his humble abode on the planetoid.
'Tanamee joined the Covenant army when he was just starting to make a living for himself. He went through the academy and graduated with high honors. But even with recommendations given by the instructors of the academy, he started out just like anyone else. He started out as a fresh rookie that thought rationally and hardly listened to orders. But as he went up the ranks and became a Lesser Field Commander, he was seriously wounded in a battle that took him out of the service for almost a year. During that time he became demoted and was placed on the Divine Intervention.
So 'Tanamee shook his head and went through basic scanning protocol. Half way through the scan of the system, he spotted an interception vessel that just came into view. 'Tanamee activated the long range scopes to get a better look. It was small, grey, and looked like an orb floating between two metal plates. The computers tried to identify it, but it wasn't in their records. 'Tanamee felt nervous and, not wanting to get in trouble if it was some new human scouting ship, called the Ship Master. "Yes, what is it." the Ship Master Oruta 'Selkatee's bored voice sounded over the com link. "Sir," said 'Tanamee with a slightly anxious tone, "I've picked up an unidentified vessel that just entered the area." "Let me see it," said 'Selkatee. 'Tanamee sent the visual to the Ship Master and wondered if it was a bad idea to tell the Ship Master. "Hmm, it doesn't show in any records we hold," said 'Selkatee. "Send a few seriph fighters over to escort this ship to our shuttle bays," 'Selkatee said and channel went dead.
'Tanamee, who was used to ordering around Elites, had never actually ordered any star fighters before. So he called up his friend Donra 'Fastanee who was a seriph fighter squad leader. "'Tanamee, what news from the navigation post!" said 'Fastanee with his regular witty greeting. "Ha, ha very funny," said 'Tanamee in reply. "But to the point, I have orders from the Ship Master himself to send a few fighters out to escort an unidentified vessel at this co-ordinates. Care to take the job?" "Love to," said 'Fastanee with enthusiasm, "I'll get my squad ready to take off and blow this ship to hell." 'Tanamee chuckled to himself, "No friend, we're supposed to take this one alive." 'Fastanee always loved a good dog fight, even when he was a child. He would tell stories of his father letting him drive his banshee, and saying that once he had accidentally destroyed a statue of a long past hero with the fuel rod cannon while pulling stunts in the air. "Very well, as the Ship Master commands it, but if I had it my way the damn thing would destroyed before you could say 'parasite'." Again 'Tanamee chuckled, "If you always had your way the entire Covenant fleet would be in ruins. Go, and try to keep your finger off the trigger!"
So 'Fastanee left with some of his squad and 'Tanamee kept an eye on them through his view screen. As they flew towards the new ship, two bright green beams of light shot through space and struck the ship on the far left and blew it to dust. "What the hell!?" 'Fastanee shouted through the com channel. The seriph fighters broke formation and the unidentified ship followed after one of them."Damn thing thinks we're hostile," one of the pilots said, "If it wants it, I'll give him hell." "No," 'Fastanee said "We have to take this one alive." While this conversation was taking place, the ship, which 'Tanamee now called the 'orb', had cleared the system and disappeared. "Flighty little bastard didn't even dare to take us on," 'Fastanee said with a rueful tone. 'Tanamee agreed, but wonderd what the orb was, and where it came from.
