[u]Unfathomable Truth[/u]

An echo ran through the halls of the ship, alerting Khazo that there was a problem with the engines. He hadn't felt any tremors or heard any alarms so the theory of the heretics attacking was ruled out. Still there was a problem and he needed to be briefed on the situation, if it compromised his mission he needed to formulate an alternative to complete his task. Intelligence stated that the human ship they were engaged in, this "Trinity", was created for locating artifacts of the gods. His mission was to get aboard that ship, acquire any information on those artifacts and report back.

With weapon in hand Khazo exited the crew quarters and made his way through the halls dodging crewmen scrambling to get the ship back to optimal standards. A Jiralhanae attempted to shove the Sangheili out of his way but was quickly put in his place with a single leg sweep. In another situation Khazo would have ended the Jiralhanae's miserable life, but he had more important things to do and so moved on ignoring the idle threats thrown his way. [b]"Khazo! Khazo 'Tevum!"[/b], a familiar voice sounded from behind Khazo quickly made its way to his side. The voice's owner was Zalfud, a Unggoy assigned to the engineering level of the Unfathomable Truth. Khazo had become well acquainted with the Unggoy after meeting by chance before boarding the ship. From what time the two spent together Khazo saw a bit of himself in Zalfud, he lost many brothers in the war with the heretics and wanted revenge. Even if he wasnt a fighter Zalfud took pride in helping disciples such as Khazo take the fight to the heretics. [color=92278f][b]"What is it Zalfud?"[/b][/color], Khazo answered looking down at the Unggoy sprinting to keep pace with him. 

[b]"There has been a problem with the engines-"[/b], he said almost out of breath. However Khazo kept his usual pace despite the Unggoy's lack of stamina.

[color=92278f][b]"I am aware of that. I am heading towards the command center to speak with the Fleetmaster"[/b][/color]

Zalfud took a deep breathe from his methane tank and sprinted up to his towering friend, [b]"That's not all! From what I've heard the entire fleet is experiencing the same problem! What's more, we activated the thrusters just after exiting the void and immediately after our engines failed sending us on a intercept course with the heretic ship!"[/b], Zalfud had to stop, his energy depleted he took a moment to catch his breath. Khazo stopped as well and looked down at the Unggoy engineer. [color=92278f][b]"Thank you Zalfud, once I get more information from the Fleetmaster I will inform you of what I learn"[/b][/color], It was unusual for Sangheili to show respect for Unggoy, they were the underlings of the Covenant and many saw them as useless fodder for the heretics. Khazo however respected the little Unggoy, his loyalty to Khazo in the short time they knew each other showed him that the Unggoy are more than simple minded fools. [b]"Thank you Khazo, good luck on your mission my friend!"[/b], Zalfud said with the before having to take in another breath from his tank. Khazo had not told anyone but the Fleetnaster why he was here. Officially he was not a stationed member of the Unfathomable Truth's crew but a passenger, Fleetmaster Verdin had only been told that Khazo was here to acquire information from the heretics. 

Khazo nodded and continued on his way to the command center. Upon arrival he approached the Fleetmaster and bowed slightly before looking around to get a sense of the situation, [color=92278f][b]"Fleetmaster Verdin, I require a status report of the ship, I assume the situation is under control, as it usually is with your leadership"[/b][/color], Khazo glanced over to find the body of a dead Unggoy being dragged out of the room, his cause of death Khazo would guess was the Fleetmaster. [color=92278f][b]"However if the ship is incapable of assisting me in my mission I request a handful of Sangheili Rangers to accompany me on a transport ship to continue my mission"[/b][/color], while he did not outrank the Fleetmaster Khazo's mission was stated as highly important by their superiors making Khazo and his needs among one of the Fleetmaster's priorities.
