The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and their [[Spartan]] [[Fireteam Jorogumo|allies]] face an overwhelming force on the ground, while [[Mahkee 'Chava|a]] [[Sangheili]] [[Shipmaster|shipmistress]] in the skies above seeks to find a weakness in the enemy’s armor that might turn the tide against these invaders.{{Ref/Reuse|Launch}}}} | The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and their [[Spartan]] [[Fireteam Jorogumo|allies]] face an overwhelming force on the ground, while [[Mahkee 'Chava|a]] [[Sangheili]] [[Shipmaster|shipmistress]] in the skies above seeks to find a weakness in the enemy’s armor that might turn the tide against these invaders.{{Ref/Reuse|Launch}}}} | ||
== | ==Summary== | ||
The story takes place during a period of intense conflict on Sanghelios. In many recent weeks, the planet has experienced unprecedented upheaval. Following [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s encounter with the Banished on the corpse-world of [[N'ba]], the [[Created]] forces that had held Sanghelios in a tight grip suddenly withdrew, leaving a power vacuum. Many Sangheili keeps and kaidons continue to support the Arbiter's efforts to unify their people, but others seek to divide power differently. This created a volatile situation, which the Banished, eager to expand their influence, readily exploit by infiltrating the Urs system without resistance, as some Sangheili under their sway leave the door open for them. | The story takes place during a period of intense conflict on Sanghelios.

In the meantime, Orna's tirade continues, blaming humans for the Sangheili's failures and the [[Onyx Conflict|destruction]] of [[Saepon'kal]]. He asserts that they are living in humanity's battle-song, with the Arbiter enabling their spread to ease his guilt. Mahkee recognizes some truths in Orna's words, acknowledging humanity's rapid rise from the Covenant's ashes with a newfound arrogance. She considers the dark rumors surrounding the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and its role in events like [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|emergence]]. However, she knows the reality is more complex than Orna presents and does not justify his wholesale condemnation of the human species, thus counters by pointing out Orna's alliance with the Banished, who also collaborate with humans, instead of joining a Covenant remnant group. Orna dismisses this, arguing that humans, like vermin, are easily manipulated and turned against one another. Mahkee retorts that this might indicate they are not so different from the Sangheili. Orna concludes by leaving his offer open until their next battle and requests Mahkee deliver a message from [[Atriox]] to her Fleetmaster that "[[Let 'Volir]] sends his regards." | In the meantime, Orna's tirade continues, blaming humans for the Sangheili's failures and the [[Onyx Conflict|destruction]] of [[Saepon'kal]].
