Anders checks her portable device to confirm the ship's name: "''Spirit of Fire''." The name strikes her as odd for a UNSC ship, and her attempt to ask the Pelican’s pilot about it earns her a curt command to "Sit down and strap in," followed by a string of expletives, some of which are new to her. Despite these doubts, the allure of discovering something extraterrestrial and alive rather than merely fossilized is too strong to resist. The potential for groundbreaking research, fame, and commercial profit is enormous, promising to keep her busy for a lifetime. | Anders checks her portable device to confirm the ship's name: "''Spirit of Fire''."

Sleek, clean, and much newer than she anticipated, the ship's other details are inquired on by her. She also inquires about her lab equipment, and the [[Lieutenant]] confirms it's already on board. | ||
As they pass the ''[[Argosy]]'', a ship that she had previously mistaken for an orbital station, Anders finally sees it clearly: Old and battered, yet somehow elegant and majestic. Unlike most modern ships, someone clearly put thought into its exterior design. Anders, noticing its condition, asks if the ship has an FTL drive. The Lieutenant confirms, adding that it also boasts the best food hall in the fleet. Unfamiliar with the term "mess," Anders is pleased to learn it refers to a dining area, hoping the food might not be as bad as she feared. The Lieutenant, eager to be rid of his civilian passenger, simply agrees. | As they pass the ''[[Argosy]]'', a ship that she had previously mistaken for an orbital station, Anders finally sees it clearly: Old and battered, yet somehow elegant and majestic.
