Spartan Matthews had been taking of his new ride, when the MAC shots shook the ship. He was already in full armor, he felt naked without it. Turning on communications he brought up the comm channel as he made his way to a terminal to try and find out what the hell they were shooting at. "This is Captain Matthews, sir should I be getting ready to launch down here?" Asked the Spartan as he paused, the monitor showed Covenant ships, out here? That was strange.

This required more than just a call. So the Spartan quickly jogged up to the bridge. He snapped a quick salute. "Captain Matthews, Spartan, pilot, and alien relations specialist. If you don't mind I'd like to know whats going on and why we just fired on two possibly friendly vessels. Other then that I'd like to try and raise communications or take a wing of fighter out see what the hell is going on over their." Stated the Spartan, he knew he probably out of line but he'd never been one for ONI bullshit.
