He greeted his COs with a salute [b]"Spartan 029 reporting sir,"[/b] he paused for a moment examining the nuke, [b]"Sir i apologize if i'm out of line; but what the hell are we going to do with a nuke in a research facility,"[/b] of course he knew what it was there, It was classic ONI if all else fails blow it up, He just wanted to hear his CO say it, if the commander doesn't believe in the orders then they aren't good orders. He respected Knight to make the right call what ever it was going to be.
