“She doesn’t speak much, but don’t take it to hard” Lobster said, stepping down from the machine, and rolling his shoulders “She barely speaks to any of us”


One of the Jackals, a bizzare looking T’vaoan, stood from where he sat, and walked towards Santiago. He held a strange vial in his hand, offering it to the human.

“What is this one?” Santiago asked dryly.

“It helps focus, in theory” the Jackal answered, rubbing his hands together.

“This doesn’t seem like the time to test something like this” Santiago said, holding the strange liquid close to his face.

“It is a prototype, to help Lobster” The jackal whispered.

“I will consider it” Santiago looked over to where Lobster and Bridget where standing, and tucked the vial away “Thank you, Dok”

“You’re sweet… But Miss Andrade would be accurate.” Mariana said. “And Catina’s real name is Catina Araci Andrade.”

“The last name I go by, Da Sa, that was beat into my head by ONI.” Catina said.“And that part of their brainwashing & indoctrination sort of worked on me, but like the smoothers I needed so they could better control me. I may abandon that last name.”

“It’s ok.” Mariana said. “And you’re correct. Mrs. or Senhora is a title given to Brazilian women who are married, or are older.”

“If you would excuse me for one second.” Mariana said, before pulling out her Data Pad and sending a message to her first officer. Asking him for the ETA to Farius Prime.

Nos pulled sky away and walked down the halls with her until they were a good distance away from daylight, where they wouldn’t hear them speaking. "sky… the real reason Resa was helping me move is… because i had a nightmare… and afterwards all i could see was this one image, burned into my vision… of a female sangheili, with her empty bleeding eye sockets staring at me…

“Oh, almost there.” Butch replied.

“Yes, Señora.” Aries nodded politely.

“That sounds horrible… Could you identify her?” Sky asked. “Was it because of the Black Moons or Borli Keep?”
