'Kuram "Finally! The settlement!"

The two shipmasters approach while the rest of the spec-ops team cloaks and remains by the treeline. A large chrome wall outlines the settlement, and guards of the Epsilon Pinophytus Military were on vigilant watch. 'Kuram noticed that several turrets had been erected along the wall, and floodlights were being mounted as the sun began to go down.

EPM Guard 1 "Halt! Who are you?"

'Kuram "I am the fleetmaster of Return. I come seeking information."

EPM Guard 2 "Yeah? Well, there's a situation going on right now, so your 'quest for knowledge' is going to have to wait."

EPM Guard 2 "Then you probably won't mind getting rid of a few more. One of our larger patrols went dark, and we want to find out what happened. The problem is, we can't spare the manpower. If you find them and bring them back, we'll let you in."

'Kuram "It is a deal."

EPM Guard 2 tosses down a data pad, which 'Kuram easily catches. Scrolling through the data, he realized it was a local map of the patrol routes. One particular route was highlighted in red and dimly flashing.

EPM Guard 1 "He just gave you their last known position. And uh... These aliens are vicious; it's really your own funeral if you don't have anything less of an army."

'Kuram "But I do."

'Kuram waves his arm in the air and twenty spec-ops Sangheili uncloak in unison behind him. The EPM Guards recoil in shock.

Spec-ops 1 "Ha! I love this routine!"

EPM Guard 1 "Well Goddamn! That's new..."
