Raymond had his own little private quarters thanks to his rank. It was right next to the other bunks, so it wasn't like he was excluding himself... It was a simple layout, with some shelves, a bed, and a desk. Just something for a captain of a squad to keep his things together while not fighting. He hummed to himself as he put his bags on the bed, taking things out as he did so. On one of the walls he noticed his old armor. It was standard ODST issue, but with a lot of scratches, and a large chunk of the shoulder pad blasted off. He also made small modifications to it, like adding a magic 8 ball on it, and a little bit of a dark purple color to the armor. 

He took out the roster chip he got earlier today, and placed it in the port on the desk, and a voice started to play, telling him everything he needed to know about the people on Tidal Wave. All of them were either young, or have seen some serious shit... With Ray being only one of those things, this would be an interesting experience. He wondered if the Spartans, or Sangheili would like being lead in to battle by just a ODST... He did have experience, he was one of the best troopers in the war (he wasn't a bragging man, or liked to talk about his stories like Knight though). 

He pulled out a picture of him and his niece, Rebecca. She and his family left him a video message to watch whenever he got a bit homesick.... Now was not the time to listen to it. Once he listened to everything the roster had to say, he decided it was time to introduce himself. He stepped outside, watching a pair of engineers walking down the hall. He peaked his head into the bunker next door, to see that the Knight character was swinging around an energy sword. A bit cocky, isn't he? He gave a loud cough and pounded on the wall. "Once you're ready, ladies and gentlemen, make your way to the crews quarters. Got couches, televisions, and a working kitchen. We'll then play meet and greet." Chas said, purposely not looking at Knight to silently tell him "I know what you got, but i'm pretending not to so I don't have to take it away." 

Once he gave the announcement to the people in the bunker, that same message rang through the whole ship
