[color=92278f][b]"At once, sir!"[/b][/color], Khazo answered Verdin as he bowed before heading out of the command center. Before he could start running Zalfud was already waiting for him outside. [b]"What news?"[/b], he asked getting ready to Sprint incase Khazo took off. The Sangheili took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering, [color=92278f][b]"As you know the ship is still under repair, however we are sending boarding parties to the heretic ship. The [i]Valence[/i] provide assistance as well. If I had to infer as to what the complete plan would be I'd say the boarding parties need to hold at least the enemy defensive arrays until the [i]Unfathomable Truth[/i] is fully operational and ready to fire. I'll be going out with the second wave of dropships. Until then farewell, my friend"[/b][/color], Khazo didn't wait for a reply, he simply started running towards the nearest hanger. Along the way he found a variety of men to follow him into battle. A Type-52 Troop Carrier could transport twenty-four troops and while he only found ten, Khazo assumed command of the rest he'd meet at the hanger. Arriving at the hanger Khazo lead his men to the first empty Type-52 he found. Ordering his already recruited men onto the ship, Khazo stood outside looking for and picking those not already assigned to a dropship. Once that was done Khazo established himself as the commanding officer of this boarding party, there was one outburst from a low ranking Jiralhanae but his protest was quickly silence after having a plasma rifle aimed an inch from his face. The rest fell in line pretty quickly. The dropship was deployed and enroute to the heretic ship Khazo began to form the squads. He would lead a group of ten Kig-Yar who's objective was to collect the information needed on the Gods' technology and if possible bring down the heretic ship's shields. The other group was lead by a Sangheili Ranger named Shayan 'Thalamus and was comprised of six Kig-Yar, four Mgalekgolo, and a Jiralhanae. Their mission was to take control of or disable the defensive battery array to reduce damage to the [i]Unfathomable Truth[/i] and the rest of the fleet. The dropships landed in the hanger of the heretic ship, there was already fighting going on as a boarding party had made its way into the hanger. Khazo held back from deploying the troops until he saw through the observation window of he dropship that this hanger was marked "Hanger 27", [color=92278f][b]"Brothers, our first objective is to gain control of this hanger. Once that is established the two teams will break off and fulfill their missions. Once your presence is no longer required then and only then will you be permitted to return to the dropship. Come, let us spill the blood of the heretics!"[/b][/color]. Khazo was the first to exit the drop guns blazing as he fired a few rounds into a couple of marines distracted with the other boarding party. Not soon after all twenty-four of his dropship's troops came pouring out firing in what seemed to be every direction but Khazo had picked his men carefully. The Mgalekgolo were there to suppress the enemy as the Kig-Yar used their marksmanship skills to pick off any still not in cover. Those utilizing their shields became targets for the enemy but as the heretics that did leave cover to fire back were once again picked off by the Kig-Yar marksmen. The only loose end was the Jiralhanae who felt it wise to charge off ahead of the group. Where he went and his fate was unknown, not that Khazo or his men cared. It wasn't long before they had taken control of the Hanger and Khazo positioned the other boarding party as holders of their F.O.B. [color=92278f][b]"Shayan 'Thalamus, status report"[/b][/color], Khazo commanded to his fellow Sangheili. [b]"We lost only the one Jiralhanae and a couple of the Kig-Yar, all others are still here and ready for battle. The boarding party we encountered upon arrival has merged with us and will provide security for this position should we return"[/b] [color=92278f][b]"Excellent, have your squad continue on with their main objective, I shall soon depart with mine. Keep in contact should you require assistance"[/b][/color] That was all that was said before the two went back to their teams and headed out further into the ship. The halls would soon be filled with heretic blood.
