Day 3
Installation 05
The holy ring of majestic power. Circling a gas giant is the host of The Great Journey. The Prophets will shall guide us through to salvation for all who are loyal to the Covenant cause. I watched it for what seemed like hours, until Fagina (Who had luckily survived the shattering sleeping pod) came up to me.
He stared for a moment and then said to me, "Beautiful, isn't it. Come, legion 7K0 is needed in the breifing hall. We have the hounor of Half-Jaw breifing us for this mission." I followed as he walked off in the direction for the breifing room. As I watched the window I saw human drop pods falling from the ship. "Fagina," I said quickly, "Look." We watched as they descended towrds the holy ring. "Somehow, I think our mission has something to do with that." Korli came running up from behind us shouting, "Come on, come on, you gonna be late!"
"He's right, we better get moving." I told Fagina, he agreed, and the three of us began walking slowly. Korli started muttering stuff like: "Stupid Sangheili, ..... .. bad as the Prophet .. Regret, holy this, holy that, .. Unggoy can't be ........ to listen .... the time y'know." I ignored him, half of his kind were the same.
We carried on until we reached the breifing room. Fagina typed the pass code and the door opened everyone was waiting, Half-Jaw was watching us with his eyes fixed. He spoke. "Ah, Korli, Suno, Fagina, take a seat, we've been waiting." We sat down in three neighbouring seats and watched as the SpecOps commader Half-jaw breifed us for the mission. "Your drop pods have been set to lock onto the Demon, you will land near him where a grop of Kig-yar snipers have taken thier posts and are awaiting your arival. You will be divided into three groups, The Holy Enlightment, The Divine Wind and the Justice of Truth. You will now be sorted." I was in The Holy Enlightment with Korli but Fagina was sepparated into The Justice of Truth. Then, one Sangheili from each group was chosen to be the group commander. I was suprised to learn that I would be leading The Holy Enlightment.
I stepped into my drop pod and sealed the doors, the voice of half-jaw shouted "The Divine Wind, drop!" Then he shouted Fagina's group name. "The Justice of Truth, drop!" Then my group. "The Holy Enlightment, drop!" I pulled the release lever but I did not move. I heard the rest of my group plummet towards the ring but I stayed stationary. The commander of The Divine Wind opened his CommLink and began shouting at me, "What are you doing Suno! Drop!" Korli opened a channel to me and called me in a worried tone, "What is going Suno, are alright?!" Then Half-jaw joined in amongst the chatter, "Okay, okay, quiet!" Silence fell. "Suno, can you tell me why you have not dropped with the rest of your group?!!"
"I er," I replied hesitating, "I pulled the release lever but nothing happened." I had opened my mouth too soon. The clamps on my pod opened but my pod started spinning out of control, flipping and turning, spinning and rolling. All I could hear was the voices of my comrades shouting "Suno!" echoing in my ears. I knocked my head, then again the third made me pass out.
I woke to find two Unggoy medics next to me. One saw me and said to the other, "He's awake! He's ok!" The other swiveled round immediately as if on a pivot and stared at me with night sky-black eyes. At that moment a Sangheili ran over and asked me if I was alright. I only said that I needed to find out where I was and what was going on. I got up and walked outside. No wonder the Unggoy were suprised to see me get up, I must have been out cold for a long time because it was evening already. An Unggoy ran after me saying, "You must get back into bed, you are too weak."
Then I saw it. The temple that the Prophet of Regret was in was devastated. "Erm, he's dead, along with all the honour gaurds." The Unggoy hesitated, speaking slowly. "No," I said this quietly. Now they shall pay. "The Holy Enlightment!" I shouted at the group members, "Grab a weapon and saddle up on a shadow. I'll take a ghost. Hotuv, banshee. Korli, you have a priveledge tonight, The only veichle we normally let an Unggoy use is a ghost, but, you can drive a spectre, Joner, Dogon, you go with him. GO! GO! GO!" I grabbed my ghost and lead the war convoy.
A human ran out in front. Splat! I wouldn't stop the kill a measly scout. There it was. A human camp was up ahead. "Holy Enlightment," I shouted behind me, "Attack formation!" Hotuv's banshee flew low over my head and the spectre that Korli was driving reared up behind me. Then the shadows formed a line behind us all as we charged. "Tonight we kill to honour those dead. A life for a life. To REGRET!!!!!!" The battle was easily won.
End of Day 3
Day 4
A Very Big Honour
"Suno Happer." The Arbiter paced up and down infront of me, stopping only briefly. "Half-jaw says you carried out an unouthorised attack on a human camp which, also, had nothing to do with your mission." Half-jaw smiled to himself the way Tarturas would. "But, I think you were right." Half-jaw's smile drooped as his jaw dropped. Seeing his face the Arbiter began to explain. "The humans deserve no more mercy than the heretics, or even the parasite. That Demon killed Regret! Are we to give the humans mercy when the Demon is slaying more of the holy Prophets? Soon we may have to elect new leadership. Truth and Mercy can't cope with the council by themselves. If this carries on, I do not beleive the Covenant will last much longer." "I agree." A Sanheili councillor had crept up behind the Arbiter half-way through his speech. The Arbiter continued, "I have a mission to find the Sacred Icon. Suno will be coming too."
"What? you can't Arbiter,"
"Yes I can and I am." I had to say something, "Excuse me but may I suggest a second companion?" The Arbiter replied, "Who is this Sanheili you speak of?" I heasitated then said, "Well, he's not exactly a Sanheili, he's an Unggoy, I let him pilot a spectre in battle and he saved the lives of the Sanheili who were riding with him numerous times."
"Very well. Meet me in hangar "Salvation" at MO39 Covenant time tomorrow."
I went to find Korli immediately. He was amazed at the news and was thankful of how I thought he had done last night. Then I had to tell Fagina, I couldn't take him because he wasn't in my group and Korli was my next choice because of his performance. Fagina understood. I lay down to sleep, I couldn't wait for tommorow.
