[[i]Divine Fire[/i], Orbiting Atlantis Colony, Ten Days Later] Klones had been busy in the information center. Zervros stopped by a few times to give what data he found to help with the search. Five days in it occurred to him that what if the relic was underwater. His planet scan had not yielded anything until he looked it over on a Holographic Display Console. He blew it up to a large size. It looked as if the 2-D map was floating in the air. During this time he had been reporting but had been plotting against this agent for the council. Seeing the truth of things made him question a great deal. Yet he kept it to himself. News from the planet below regarding the war would come in as well. Enemy forces have been routed. Many of the small villages were burning along with human cities. It would not be long when those islands would be turned into fire by the excavation beam. Wealth of knowledge under his finger tips gave him tools to do his job. Images of planets such as Harvest showed the razeing strategy. One he can see that was benefiting the Prophets. A gut feeling he pushed aside to concentrate on the task at hand. He finally had matches later on yet ruled some out. Setting the planet scan to search around or under the island for objects it found three possible matches. Humans had cleverly used some kind of rig to hide the possible place. The others were twenty to thirty miles off shore. It was fortunate the humans were mining ? Drilling ?. This was unclear in the scans he looked over. Now the question was how to get down to these places. Humans have boats but it would be unlikely they would be able to capture one. Clicking on a fresh terminal he looked over the ships inventory. He did see watercraft on board. Some were even being used on planet. What he needed was a Submersible craft. They would need to take a T-47 Ultra Heavy Vehicle. It can with stand the pressure at that depth. He forwarded his findings to both the Warlord and Agent. Zervros showed up at second bell to get Klones for a meeting with the Warlord. They arrived in a war room filled with communications terminals. Holo displays and consoles displaying constant information. They moved to an empty briefing room, Not far from the bridge. Warlord took a seat at the head of the table. Seemed a bit more relaxed due to him not tripping over subordinates. Klones stood with Zervros silently as unit commanders from Kig-yar and Unggoy arrived. Behind them was a red armored Sangheili who had only one eye. Part of his left hand was missing as well. " Good we are all here. Now i am placing all of you under the Command of Commander Zervros here. You are to search the ocean for artifacts of religious value." Warlord begin looking around the table at the standing troops. "Klones will help use his knowledge to find it or discover locations of these places. You are to destroy any human presence or other opposition. Secure the Relics so i can send in troops to assist with recovery operations." Warlord darkened the room and a holo projector inside the table showed a three dimensional area of on the planet they would be going to. All eyes were on the map. " These locations are of prime interest. A single T-47 will make a decent into the Ocean. It will be escorted by two submersible craft. T-88 Hydro Subs." Holo table switched to displays of both the Scarab and Devil Fin. "Once it is found i will inform the General who can begin our final operations against the humans. Glory to the Gods." Every one filed out but the Warlord waved for both of them to stay. Once the room was clear Warlord Izzard waved for both of them to sit down to hear what he had to say. " I hate this war but we must carry on. I miss my wife most of all. Yet this will be very important if we succeed. Zervros you have served with me all these years." Klones listened to the Warlord who looked tired now. Even stressed. " I have sent many to die in this war. Yet this is the closest i have ever come to an artifact. Sending both of you is a hard choice. one i feel that is necessary. " Seems age is getting to me with sentiment as well. Will the gods bless us or condemn our efforts only time will tell. Even i am surprised that there was a Relic here only when the Prophets told me and the General when we first arrived." Warlord rubbed his man tables a sign of the heavy burdens he carries. " Both of you stay alive down there so we can drink some Kashari Juice when you get back to toast a great success." Both of them nodded leaving the room. Warlord Izzard sat alone staring off into a dark corner worried about what the future might bring. [Edited on 10.26.2012 11:03 AM PDT]
