After she is done Kal knocks on the door before stepping in.
Kal: alright we have a hit on a possible location. Gear up and we will leave in 15.
She nods as he leaves and she walks over to the closet where her gear and armor is. Her gear was customer made by Kals armor maker for her. It consists of a black under layer with armor pieces on her shoulder chest and legs with gauntlets on each arm and a helmet along with a jump back and armored boots. The armor pieces contain their own shield emitters that provide full coverage as well. She straps it on as well as her belt that contains two pistols and an assortment of other gear. She walks out to find Kal, Ordo, and Etain all waiting and geared up as well.
Kal: alright let’s do this.

Johanna: *she blushes a little and rubs her arm* Its true, I do care for her a great deal. I felt so angry when she was taken before wishing I could have been there to stop it from happening. And Captain, i think you still did a good job parenting.

Oh, before you go. If Mila even attempts to do something stupid like, oh I don't know, go nightclubbing in a crime-infested hellhole like, say, Chellion? Knock her on her TRIBBLE. Consider that an order.

*New Nara. She succeeds, the Girl rolling into a crouch and watching Susan carefully, breathing quickly.*
Girl: You're good. Usually I'm either done by now or my opponent is. Only had fights this even with my sister.
Halsey is making her rounds again for the morning. Padd in one hand drink in the other. She stops by the primary lab working on the slip space upgrades.
Halsey: well how are things looking today?
Tech: good ma’am. We think we figured out and corrected the issue and should be ready for a test in a few days.
Halsey: very good. Be sure to send me the updates at the end of your shift today please.
Tech: yes ma’am.
She leaves them to it as she heads to check on the cadets training.

Vanguard stands looking into a view of the galaxy and everything going on. Things had somewhat stabilized as far as they where concerned. Things would at least be going as they should now. A few others stand near him speaking. They all turn as a dark presence can be felt entering the ancient chamber. The younger ones near vanguard get behind him.
Vanguard: you know you are not welcome here.
Alduin: has that ever stopped me from doing what I want.
He stands across the pool directly across from Vanguard. He takes note of the few others behind him.
Alduin: now now what stories do you tell these poor souls that they are so fearful.
Vanguard: what do you want. State your business and be gone.
Alduin: my business? You know what I’m here for. The galaxy and all that are in it are mine to control by right! You can’t keep the chaos from consuming them forever. Sooner or later you will fail and when you do
Vanguard: enough. You can either leave of your own power or be sent out like a dog.
Alduin let’s a smile crack his face as he starts to turn. He spins unleashing an attack towards vanguard that he deflects. But alduin disappears before he can strike again.
Silent Cartographer: are you all right?
Vanguard: I’m fine. But we must be even more vigilant now then before.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Harper is in the command center looking over ship deployments Prasis is on the comm speaking with him as well.
Harper: and there hasn’t been any activity in the expanse?
Prasis: no nothing.
Harper: alright leave a small group of ships there but bring the bulk of your forces back. We will deploy you along the heaviest traveled trade routes to secure them.
Prasis: understood. I’ll speak to you again once we arrive.
Harper nods as the channel closes.
Officer: admiral your meeting is ready to begin.
Harper: very good. Let me know if anything changes while I’m gone.
Harper walks out and into his office where Flynn is waiting.
Flynn: admiral good to see you again.
Harper: colonel how are things going on your end.
Flynn: mostly well. Using the gateways to transport men and supplies is making it harder for nightfall to get valuable assets. Not to mention we can move supplies and men faster through them then by ship.
Harper: good that’s what I needed to hear. We are going to be getting most of Prasis fleet back now that things are quite there. That will give us an additional 20 ships to deploy along trade routes and send to colonies that are starting to cause problems.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

While the destruction of some very key worlds has hurt them it has also opened up a very good opportunity. The UNSC has moved in finally on the ravaged worlds to begin mining the newly exposed mineral deposits previously unreachable or unknown. It has begun setting up mining operations at the largest deposit areas while also opening up mining to private individuals and companies on some of the smaller deposits as well.

Outside a compound Osman and her group take a finale look before getting ready to attack.
Kal: you sure you want to do this?
Osman: stop asking me questions you already know the answer to.
He nods as they get into position. Tapping a control on her gauntlet sets off an empty that disables the facilities shields. Once they drop Ordo fires a volley from a shoulder mounted launcher. It takes moments for them to get inside the compound as they quickly deal with the security inside. Once inside they start looking for the command center.

Anders is drinking a large mug of coffee as she is working on translating a piece of the ancient ruin trying to unlock the coordinates of the suspected vault. Guilty Tangent comes floating into the room humming to himself.
Anders: what did you find GT? Anything new?
Guilty Tangent: no I’m afraid. While the forerunner parts are easy to decipher I’m afraid I’m not as helpful yet on the other portions. My data base does not carry much info on the other races involved here. It seems that was the idea and a possible security feature.
Anders: you think they did this ok purpose. To make sure not just one group could find the vault?
Guilty tangent: it is very possible. My creators had a very strict rule of responsibility that they followed. It is possible that the other races did as well and put safeguards into place to keep these things from falling into the wrong hands.
Anders: so we need to find an expert on the preservers and then need to find out who this third race is. Great no problem I’m sure section 31 will love to bring in more people in on this.

Kal: alright we have a hit on a possible location. Gear up and we will leave in 15.
She nods as he leaves and she walks over to the closet where her gear and armor is. Her gear was customer made by Kals armor maker for her. It consists of a black under layer with armor pieces on her shoulder chest and legs with gauntlets on each arm and a helmet along with a jump back and armored boots. The armor pieces contain their own shield emitters that provide full coverage as well. She straps it on as well as her belt that contains two pistols and an assortment of other gear. She walks out to find Kal, Ordo, and Etain all waiting and geared up as well.
Kal: alright let’s do this.
*Mila gives her an amused look.*
Mila *teasing*: Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do if I do wanna do something stupid again, blondie?
*New Nara. She succeeds, the Girl rolling into a crouch and watching Susan carefully, breathing quickly.*
Girl: You're good. Usually I'm either done by now or my opponent is. Only had fights this even with my sister.

Vanguard stands looking into a view of the galaxy and everything going on. Things had somewhat stabilized as far as they where concerned. Things would at least be going as they should now. A few others stand near him speaking. They all turn as a dark presence can be felt entering the ancient chamber. The younger ones near vanguard get behind him.
Vanguard: you know you are not welcome here.
Alduin: has that ever stopped me from doing what I want.
He stands across the pool directly across from Vanguard. He takes note of the few others behind him.
Alduin: now now what stories do you tell these poor souls that they are so fearful.
Vanguard: what do you want. State your business and be gone.
Alduin: my business? You know what I’m here for. The galaxy and all that are in it are mine to control by right! You can’t keep the chaos from consuming them forever. Sooner or later you will fail and when you do
Vanguard: enough. You can either leave of your own power or be sent out like a dog.
Alduin let’s a smile crack his face as he starts to turn. He spins unleashing an attack towards vanguard that he deflects. But alduin disappears before he can strike again.
Silent Cartographer: are you all right?
Vanguard: I’m fine. But we must be even more vigilant now then before.

Prasis: understood. I’ll speak to you again once we arrive.

Harper: very good. Let me know if anything changes while I’m gone.
Harper walks out and into his office where Flynn is waiting.
Flynn: admiral good to see you again.
Harper: colonel how are things going on your end.
Flynn: mostly well. Using the gateways to transport men and supplies is making it harder for nightfall to get valuable assets. Not to mention we can move supplies and men faster through them then by ship.
Harper: good that’s what I needed to hear. We are going to be getting most of Prasis fleet back now that things are quite there. That will give us an additional 20 ships to deploy along trade routes and send to colonies that are starting to cause problems.
