Post Schism - Just a sliver of conflict (Ask to join please)

[Faclan]

Cad, Kig-Yar Major
Covenant Loyalist
Accepting a probable end with dignity.

Cad's eyes never left the Sangheili's as she looked like she was about to butcher him, like she had for his fellows, but his face remained impassive - it seemed he really was past caring or just didn't want to give her the satisfaction as he looked back when Garatus muttered. But the only response he gave was the look before returning to the shipmistress, his red hair spines shifting from dark red to bright red when he was denounced by his former friend. But besides the shifting colors he didn't make any other sign or reaction, just watching the Sangheili as what he expected would be his executioner was let out of his cell. The Kig-Yars breathing steady as he knelt there, a nice contrast to the panic coming from the other cells.


Tup and the remaining Kig-Yar were muttering and talking quietly but quickly with each other as they either held their breath or were starting to hyperventilate as they watched with there eyes glued on Garatus and the shipmisteess, as well as the foolish Zealot. Many of them wanted to shout out that they would serve, they weren't loyal to the Covenant like Cad was, but they were silenced as they kept watching, that would draw more attention of them while the Shipmistress was enraged, and now wasn't the time for that as they watched for a sentence to be carried out.

Garatus waved his packmates back as the shield door was dropped and slowly stepped forward to stand before the shipmistress, he bowed his head before looking down at Cad with sadness and apology for what he guessed he was about to be ordered to do.

"I am ready Shipmistress" Garatus said with a finality in his voice.

(OOC: Well, I'm not sure when Xel is going to post in here, so I'll make the exact location rather vague just in case he doesn't post. That way, if he does post, I can easily make it so that Llau is on Xel's ship or something, like was planned. If not, then Llau will be elsewhere.)

-WIP character- 

Llau 'Medomai

SpecOps Ultra
Special Warfare Group

For the most part, she wasn't surprised by the strange turn of events that were currently unfolding within the Covenant. The only thing that surprised her more was how quickly The Prophets ordered her kin slaughtered behind their backs. Of course, there was a tiny part of her that always started questioning The Prophets and their ideals, and the Covenant as a whole...she was slowly losing her trust, but silent as she feared of the consequences of questioning things like that. Now, she can breathe a little easier that many of her kind, as well as others, have seen through the lies and deceit woven over their eyes. Nonetheless, she knew she'd breathe a lot better once this conflict was finally over. Once it was, she would return to Faithful Sentinel to help her clan...or fight them. She hoped they were in the same mindset as herself, but they were completely loyal to the Covenant...then again, so was she. The 'Medom clan wasn't stupid, nor fanatical in their views. She had faith in her clan, and what the clan leaders will believe. Like her, they will fight until the Betrayers are lying at their feet, or die fighting to the very end.  

At the moment, she was alone with her active camouflage on; silently stalking a four Jiralhanae - three Minors being led by a Major - who were walking through the lower levels of the ship, finding more Sangheili to kill. They already murdered five of her kind before she arrived, and will gladly slaughter more when they get the chance. She will be just as glad to slaughter them before they even get the chance to kill any more of her brethren. Fighting was was everywhere right now, but violent, as both sides fought and slain each other. She was in her quarters when the attack started, but was more skillful than the two Jiralhanae Minors who tried to kill her when they tried sneaking up from behind to take her out. She glared at her prey paused to talk about splitting up to enter two rooms that were across from another. The two Minors headed through the door on the right, while the Major and Minor went into the one on the left. Before the doors could close, she quickly made it inside behind the two who entered the room on the right. 

'I will make short work of these foul beasts...' She thought, walking behind one as they soon split apart to cover more of an area. She could hear Unggoy yelping and running about as they tried to hide from the two Jiralhanae who were searching for them. 

The Jiralhanae she was stalking laughed in amusement. "Pathetic...I'll kill these worthless creatures just as quickly as I killed those Sangheili back there."

"Don't be so rash, brother," called out the other. "We ask them who they truly follow first."

"If they know better..." The Jiralhanae chuckled, and then as an after thought, it added, "It's a shame we had to leave those dead Sangheili alone...I wanted a quick snack."

She narrowed her brow, rage boiling within her blood as she squeezed her hands into tight fist. The other laughed, shooting a lone Unggoy who was hiding and pleading for it's life, but answered that it was loyal to the Sangheili instead of the Covenant. More rage, and she kept herself from growling as she tightly covered the alien's mouth with her free hand and plunged the dagger from her gauntlet into the back of the Jiralhanae when it was preoccupied with a cowering Unggoy. Next, she quickly turned the Jiralhanae around so the wounded beast could see who stabbed it, and then finished it off when she slashed at it's throat. 

The Jiralhanae gurgled and choked on it's own blood as it fell, eyes wide as it weakly raised its gun to aim it up at her as one last effort, but she kicked it roughly out of its hand, not caring as it clamored to the floor. She activated her camouflage again when she overheard the other Jiralhanae call out to the dead Minor. When it headed over to investigate, she maneuvered behind it, but this time activating her Energy Sword on purpose; causing the Jiralhanae to twirl around, but she swiftly brought the blade across his neck - decapitating it in one smooth motion. She watched as the headless corpse fell, and stood silently above it for a moment as she stared down at it in spite. Several of the Unggoy and the one she saved cautiously walked toward her. 

As soon as she found out where their allegiances were, she soon explained to them about the remaining two Jiralhanae who were in the other room. She told them hat they will follow her in there, take them out, and then they will move on from there. Once they were armed with pistols and Needlers, they quietly followed her into the other room; the Unggoy shot at the two Jiralhanae, mostly missing at them, but more so acting as a diversion as she made short work of the Jiralhanae Minor with a plasma rifle she collected from one of the dead Jiralhanae she just killed. It took a little longer for them to take out the Jiralhanae Major, but they eventually killed it, but the fight left one of the Unggoy dead. 

Satisfied, Llau 'Medomai moved on, with the remaining three Unggoy in toe. They weren't Spec Ops, but they have to do while she continued looking for her creche.
