Weapons without targets - forced to pick up and put down… pick up and put down, slaves really. I thought maybe after 60 years we’d have more respect, especially from the power that we demonstrated - I mean the blasphemy we established, what was I thinking… at least now we are given weapons, weapons we have proven ability with!
Weapons without targets, although maybe not – Ship Master Ya’rala briefed us on our mission which was just that, brief. Transmissions from Minor Transgression have reported that a Jiralhanae contingent have met and communicated with an unknown species, an intelligent species. For as long as I can remember I’ve educated and illustrated different communications, symbols and languages from conquered systems for the benefit of the Covenant. Once I ex… “Get to the foundry and fill up the armaments like you should be doing!” J’akul beckoned, breaking my day-dream. “Yes, of course” I muffled and then scuffled away quickly out of my cramped quarters. Leaving, J’akul gave me a kick with enough force for me to fall, as he was walking the other way he said something insulting, I don’t know what he said exactly, although I didn’t hear him it’s what he usually does…
J’akul was my leading Sangheili; he was massive, brave, a great leader and all of this without effort. He was born into the role; his military lifestyle was his culture and his culture was his religion to ensue and welcome the Great Journey. 60 years ago and he would have shared his culture with me…
Once in the foundry I noticed most of the plasma fuel cells were loaded into the Phantom that we were customise for this rare opportunity to meet and great this new species and possible new ally in to the Covenant. Even though the plans and intentions were for peace and purity precautions had to be taken to assure the safety of Sangheili lives.
I wouldn’t consider myself anti-social especially towards meeting my new Unggoy crewmen I will be working with, although this was a new race with undefined powers and practices we were going to be meeting with, the risk of any of their deaths and mine in fact would be warranted if any conflict were to emerge. After the Unggoy Rebellion in 2462, the Unggoy were allowed military careers with military ranks. I was an Ultra, the best of the best… the best of the best Unggoy I had to always remind myself of.
