FE17’s suppressed handgun fires- thwack, thwack, thwack. Two Sangheili and a Kig-Yar drop, leaving only Grunts and Jackals to kill thanks to Ardo Moretummes’ skilled decapitation of the Elite leader
Unexpectedly, the survivors don’t run; instead, they charge suicidally past the two infiltrators through the front door of the pub
enters, looks around why does the good stuff happen when I’m Gone!? some of you may notice my armour flickers to a differant colour for a few milliseconds
FE17 casually puts his gun and gear away, climbs through the empty front window, and walks up to the bar
Brushes glass shards off the bar top, looks over at KitKat ejoying her instant water, BlueNinja slouched in the corner, and the half-drunk patrons trying to clean up the mess
“I’ll take a root beer… That little exercise kind of made me thirsty.”
Stands waiting, wondering why the auto-server isn’t working for him
“So, are the Trio going to finish their show now?”
hires kitkat looks at ardo, announces loudly
If it weren’t for our elite friend Ardo Moretummes, A lot more of us would be dead. And he also probably just killed some old friends! I thanks Ardo for his good deed, and protecting us, to Ardo Moretummes! gets call
I got to go guys… runs out pub
The Sangheili turns to the drunken human and speaks as his AI translates. *
“Because filthy human, If I wanted you dead.” pulls out sword
“I would have killed you myself.”
Ardo Moretummes then looks at the spartan that he has grown fond of, he begins to think if this will be his first human friend.
“Yes, The elite I had slayed was another ship master in the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, he was always more religious then I was, so it makes sense for him to end up with Jul’ Mdama… And do you see that unggoy that charged suicidal into the bar?” *Ardo points to the grunt. “I was there for one of his birthdays.”

“Oh, HAHAHA YeaH!!”
“CHEERS BUDDY”
silverback raises his glass to the elite and takes one more drink and then passes out
The Sangheili turns to the spartan sitting next to her he speaks and his AI translates
“Yes… It is the most honorable achievement one can obtain in our culture. Finding death in battle is every sangheili’s Destiny. I find solace in knowing that he died by my blade.”
“Thats all I am human, now you can understand my actions.”
after a while he digs into his chest armour and pulls out a tooth, no ordinary tooth however, he begins to tell the spartan the story of his prized possesion, as his AI translates
“We are born into the flames of war. We are taught combat and sent off at a young age to survive. As proof of our qualification to serve in the covenant empire we have to hunt and kill a Helioskrills on our home planet Sanghelios. The creature I had killed was an alpha male. His teeth will glow in the moonlight of Qikost and Suban.” (the two moons that orbit Sangheilos.)
“I was going to give it my Monerasha but she is no longer alive.”
