Grikgar /Grik/ Seeker

// Unggoy Ultra // Demolitions and Artillery //

Hearing the good news that it was unlikely that he would have to face off against any of the parasite relived him. Did that mean that he still didn’t have to worry? Not really but at least he could relax a little. It would seem the first phase of their mission would be recon then move into search and destroy with the possibility of all out combat with the brutes. Grikgar could only hope he could get the opportunity to rally the other Unggoy with the brutes to fight against them. Still if they didn’t, he had no problem killing all of them.

The captain and the others seemed rather interested and in a hurry to get off planet. He couldn’t blame them really he was also excited to get back into the thick of it. Boarding the pelican and finding an uncomfortable spot next to the Spartan that called himself Ben. A rather bumpy and quiet ride for the most part, Grikgar was happily bobbing his head from side to side listening to some human music he was sure was loud enough to be heard through his helmet. Grik didn’t care, this whole experience was exciting to him.

It wasn’t too much longer and they had landed, the Spartan Aviza was the first off the pelican but didn’t seem to be in as much of a hurry as the other two humans. He was unsure exactly why they were with them but o well, humans are weird. A simple map of the ship displayed briefly on his visor with a small point that marked where he was and another that marked his room. The design of the ship was strange and the exterior of the ship matched the interior, all these human ships lacked color and design. Every ship in the former covenant was a work of art in shape and color. However, he figured it was a luxury the humans couldn’t afford.

The female Spartan spoke up again, something about a mess hall and food. Food was definitely something he could get behind. He was unsure of the mess hall though, “Why do Spartans eat in a messy hall?” he asked not really speaking to anyone in general. The Unggoy almost happily waddling slowly behind his commander as he followed them out of the pelican and down the corridor towards the messy hall.

Grikgar sat quietly while he listened to the others talk, some of them seemed like they didn’t share his excitement for missions or just didn’t realize that the Unggoy was never taught how to be professional. When your entire military Career is, “these are your orders see you in paradise.” He was never taught how to be appropriate for the most part. Understanding how to act on the battlefield was an entirely different situation than this.

The topic and general mission briefing quickly continued as another human entered the room. By the way the others saluted him he was definitely high ranking, then again most ship masters and captains where. The AI he used wasted little time going through what was happening, Grik honestly didn’t understand a lot of it but he was able to get the overall gist of what was being said. Then came the pictures of the massacre and some of the weapons used.

“Well at least it is easy to see that brutes didn’t do that.” His voice still sounding a little electronic but not as high pitched as a normal grunt. “Computer lady said the brutes where trading for supplies right? Then that means Brutes are hungry.” Pointing towards the pile of human corpses, “Brutes like the taste of other aliens and they really like the flesh of humans. So if this was brutes you would see limbs cut off or gnawed upon.” The grunt didn’t seem too phased by what he was talking about but by the way he was talking about it one could assume he had seen it before.

Soon the AI continued on about the mission and onto where they thought the rebels and brutes where. Vael’s words also made him think about it too, he didn’t know what this ‘Sarcophagus’ was but it sounded large and important, important enough to have a settlement of elites and humans on it with their own warriors and ships. When the AI described it as a forerunner instillation the Unggoy became quiet and seemed to shrink into his seat. Almost as if he was just now grasping the seriousness of the situation.

Once the diagram of the instillation began to expand so too did Grikgar continue to tilt back in his seat to follow the hologram until he inevitably fell back in it crashing to the floor. He stood back up quickly and tried to set the chair back up only to find that the back of it had broken off. Sitting back down in the half broken chair the grunt looked up at Vael with a sort of “oops” shrug. Now it seemed that the Spartan was going to talk next while Grikgar spun in the broken chair looking at the hologram.

The AI and scary human lady continued to talk for a bit longer before seemingly to pause for questions. “Grikgar has question.” Looking to the AI then to the scary lady who he already forgot the name of, “Grikgar was part of fleet that chased you’re…” he paused for a moment both to remember and look to Vael for any indication that what he was saying was a little much. “Demon- err, Spartan 117 to holy ring. There we learned Spartans where not real monsters.” Again pausing trying and failing to gauge visual ques from his commander to not continue, “Will Grikgar have to fight parasite again?” the Unggoy was quiet almost as if he was a little timid for once. Although he hadn’t seen a lot of combat with the flood, being an Unggoy special operative he has seen what they can do and they always seemed to be lurking in forerunner instillations.

Grikgar /Grik/ Seeker

// Unggoy Ultra // Demolitions and Artillery //

Grikgar was caught a little off guard from the ODST’s he expected all of the military to hate and despise them. Yet from a simple gesture and retaliation he would do to any cowardly unggoy was strange to him. In truth he did it because he is well aware of how little Lekgolo respect other life forms. The Ultra has even seen a pair walk right over a group of bickering Kig-Yar killing all 4 of them. The only others in the covenant they respected were the Sangheili. He was trying to prevent a possible issue.

The humans continued with their strange behavior and stranger still the Lekgolo allowed them to ride on it and took care with where it was walking. This behavior was incredibly strange to him. They even offered him a spot on the hunters back, the other Spartans apparently did not enjoy their show. Before he could accept their offer the hunter gently put them down and did another very strange thing. It looked as if it was being submissive towards the Spartan that asked them to stop.

More people converged on the small group of strange people, another Spartan who seemed to the point and serious by the name of Ben? Strange name would be fun to talk to maybe? Another two came in with an air of superiority he could only describe as Jiralhanae when they replaced the Sangheili as honor guard. “Why human so afraid they carry gun in secure area? Human strange.” He spoke in English, his high pitched voice was a little more computerized due to his speaker.

Grikgar watched the commander and another human begin walking away and without hesitation he followed. His walk was a little funny almost how one would see Muppets walking, somewhere between a waddle and a skip. The corridors they continued down where tight and long. Until they eventually found a set of double doors. The human female seemed off compared to her counter parts, not as proud as some, not as stoic as others, somewhere around what he could only guess was anger or annoyance.

With a swipe of something on the wall the double doors opened up and a large room with a large table was inside surrounded by older humans, “Are these humans talking about important matters?” Grik asked curiously grasping the door and peering around it to watch his commander. The humans inside almost held themselves like the proud ones that joined them late until they saw Vael. The reaction they got was one he recognized because he has seen it many times before, Fear.

The gathering quickly cleared and the rest of their gaggle was invited inside to take a seat around the table. It took a minute for him to get comfortable in the chair even falling out of it once before getting to a comfortable spot. He only caught the last bit of what the human female was saying, “We goin on a mission?” sitting up straight for an Unggoy and looking around at the others. “Grikgar make things go boom?” obviously he was excited and asking if the mission was loud or quiet. The other Sangheili seemed more professional and to the point a stark contrast to the Unggoy.

// Unggoy Ultra // Demolitions and Artillery //

Grik continued to watch his new commander and his mannerisms for any sign of disdain. After not picking up on anything from his speech patterns, the Unggoy straightened his posture continuing to look up at the Sangheili in front of him. Continuing to answer him in Sangheili despite the marine next to them, “Grikgar Seeker, Demolition’s and Artillery specialist, fluent in all former covenant languages including Huragok sign language and three human languages. Served on the Capitol ship seeker of truth in the fleet of particular justice until the destruction of the holy ring then tasked to other covert operations.” Grik really doesn’t care if any of the others over heard him, he was well aware that their alliance was shaky at best.

A slight repeating tremor through the floor drew his attention towards a group of more human soldiers surrounding a Lekgolo in an odd armor configuration and a rather bright attachment he could only assume was ceremonial. Grik smiled under his helmet, he was rather fond of the Lekgolo and often enjoyed their company. The same marine from earlier spoke up again, this time referring to the hulking alien as a ‘thing’. This upset the grunt slightly, Grikgar was normally level headed but he had been subjected to enough mistreatment in his life that it sometimes got under his skin.

Stepping in front of the marine and scowled at him through his helmet. “That is a Lekgolo, it is not a thing.” Switching from Sangheili to English was almost flawless for him. Grik was doing something that he knew most would not expect out of an Unggoy, being confrontational. He was well aware of his surroundings and knew he could not just touch the marine and would have to keep his temper for the most part. “Lekgolo have saved Grik more times than Grik cares to remember.” His helmet shifted between the marine and the other soldiers then over to a taller figure walking their way.

The Spartan was rather tall compared to some of the others and wore a crimson red armor set combined with gold. A flashy color scheme that he wondered how it helped him in combat, “perhaps a physiological effect?” he thought before returning to the marine. “Grikgar is not afraid of any of you, not even that one.” Motioning towards the Spartan.

Feeling that he made his point the Unggoy returned to his position in front of Vael. Only to look up to meet the gaze of another elite, a major Yalu 'Suumko. His name did not sound familiar, but an ally all the same. Grik also did not recognize the armor pattern the Sangheili used, it seemed old and outdated compared to the more modern harnesses. At the very least, Grik could gleam from the likely family heirloom that this one did honor the old ways at least and he likely could be trusted to keep his word.

Another Spartan joined them from outside, this one had bright markings that distinguished it from the other. What those markings meant Grik did not know, at the very least these demons didn’t look too intimidating just yet. This one seemed to be better suited for recon. Then the third Spartan approached the rest of them and actually spoke, introducing himself as “Spartan Lucas Ryker, pleasure.” Grik was unsure what the pleasure was for, some human expressions still escaped him.
