===Crisis and Resolution===
===Crisis===
As it turned out, both Ryan and Darren were learning the same thing: the drone satellite's sensors had detected a ship on an intercept course with the colony. Though it was broadcasting an old UNSC recognition code that announced an intention to land, it was clearly a {{Class|DAV|light corvette}}. Aghast at this development, Ryan blamed the UNSC for bringing this apparent doom on them. Later that night, both colonists and crew from the ''Dark was the Night'' gathered at the town hall to try to figure out what to do about the predicament they all suddenly found themselves sharing in. At its start, it was announced that the [[Covenant]] ship would be upon them in just eighty-one hours. Darren attempted to calm fears by stating that they couldn't be sure of its intentions, especially given the fact that it was announcing its arrival and broadcasting a seemingly peaceful signal. He did assure everyone, however, that '''if''' a conflict was to be had, he would stand and fight back along with them. Eventually, to his disappointment, Darren had to walk out of the meeting because it had devolved into loud chest-beating and he needed to think. He wandered away from the hall and sat down on the fender of an [[M274 Mongoose]]. Sergeant Robertson and a couple of noncoms, [[Denton]] and [[Wild]], found him to ask if he had a plan. All he could tell them was that he was working on it. A short time later, he was joined by [[Aoife Larsson]], who offered him a drink. The two talked and Aoife revealed that her brother and others were going to use the encroachment of the Covenant vessel as an excuse for insurrection. Darren admitted that he and his people were as scared as everyone else and emphasized to her that people on both sides would be killed if anyone did anything stupid. When Aoife asked about his experience fighting the Covenant, he thought of the [[Spartan]], [[Kevin-A282]], and resolved to find him.
