"Is this the place?" Red asked

"Seems like it, it's what on the map," I say

In front of us was a large building with no buildings within a kilometer around it. There's a large open door on the side of the building that takes up almost all of the wall.

"Seems like a manufacturing company," Red said

"Yea, I see a couple of wraiths and what seems to be a banshee" I replied

We walked through the giant door and looked around for a jacket, but didn't see one. There were only a few elites that were working on a wraith. We approached the elites to ask them things.

"Elites, we have some questions," Red says

"Why so strict sounding?" I whisper to Red

"What do you mean?" He whispers back

One of the elites who were on the ground stood up and looked at us.

"oh, are you here for a vehicle?" He asked

"No, do you know if a kig-yar works here?" Red said

"Yeah, there's two, both are building a wraith propulsion system over there," he said while pointing to a door.

"Alright, thanks," Red said

I and Red start walking towards the door he pointed at.

"Did one of them do something? If so, don't kill them in the building" one of the other elites said.

"Kill him? Why would we do that?" I whisper

"Probably because we are zealots, though I'm not sure why they think zealots would be dispatched to kill a single jackal" Red whispers to me

We approached the door, but It didn't automatically open like we thought it would. I put my hand on the door to see if I could push it open, but it doesn't budge

"Is it locked?" I say

"I think it requires a password" Red replied

"oh, I guess you wouldn't want anything stolen," I say to myself

Red walks towards the door and starts knocking.

"Ow, this hurts? Must have some kind of shield" Red said

A wait for a reply, then the door slides up open.

"What? Did you finish the- what? Why? It was stolen, I promise!" A jackal says as the door fully opens.

"Yeah, we're not on an execution job, where looking for a kig yar who knows Zipyap" I say

"Oh good, get in here" the jackal urges us.

We walk into the room and the jackal closes the door.

"Okay, so I assume you know the job? The jackal asks.

"Not all of it, just that something was stolen, you want it back, and you're gonna pay a lot for it back. We would just like to know any difficulties and what was stolen." Red says

"Okay, what was stolen was an improved propulsion system for longer and stronger boost time," the jackal said

"Okay who stole it and where might it be?" I ask

"A couple of humans and a single demon. Though I think a single zealot would be enough" the jackal whispers, "anyway, I was testing the system in wraith when I was suddenly shot at! Good thing humans suck at aiming."

"Okay, location?" I ask

"It was out somewhere in the desert where we test things safely, but I have the location!" The jackal said as he turned and started looking for something.

"Why would humans, and a spartan, be on sanghelios?" I ask in Sangheili to not panic the kig-yar who seems to not realize the problem.

"I'm not sure, but I would like to go and see if there's gonna be an issue before I report it" Red replied in Sangheili

"Alright, But reporting quickly would be best," I say back

"I got it!" The jackal yells and turns to us with a hologram of the planet with a red dot marking a location.

"Alright, I'll download the map and be on our way," I say, holding out my hologram next to his.

The two holograms merged and then dispersed showing the same image but with a marker on my map.

"Why so over the top?" I whisper to myself

"We'll be going now" Red says before walking into the closed door. "Ow, open the door!"

The jackal opens the door and let's us out and closes the door after saying, "My name is thag, report to me after for payment"

We find another transport vehicle and go to where Red landed the phantom. When we arrive we quickly get into the phantom and activate the thrusters.

"Let's hurry, it's almost night." I say as I get into the co-pilot seat.

"Alright, though I'm confused why humans would come to sanghelios to steal a covenant propulsion system" Red replies

"That is confusing" I say back, "I'm marking location"

"Okay, I'll activate autopilot and allow you to use the weapons in the back. And don't worry, I got plenty of them" Red says

Red clicks a button and swipes his finger on a screen to increase speed then stands from his seat and leads me towards the back. He pushed open a panel on a wall that was holding the weapons.

"Take any, and despite what i said, dont lose them"

I grab a carbine, an energy sword, and a plasma pistol.

"A plasma pistol?" Red asks.

"The kig yar said they stole the propulsion system, but they could also have the wraith." I answer

"I see, I'll grab one too then"

Red grabs a plasma pistol, an energy sword, and a beam rifle.

"When we find them, you get close, and I'll stay in the back to provide covering fire" Red says.

"It's a plan then" I replied

[Estimate arrival, 1.2 hours] a robotic voice says in Sangheili

"Go faster" Red says, "when thrusters are Close to overheating slowness it"

[Estimate arrival, 57 minutes]

"Alright, I'll watch the radar, you should get in the pilot seat in case something interrupts us when we get close." I say

"Alright, I hope we get there fast enough before the humans get to far" Red replied
