Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/Tread Carefully


 * From the journal of Suta 'Noram, Sangheili Guard 6/4/2559


 * Commander Pavium has stationed me at his salvage operation to provide
 * security in case the humans try to interfere. Through the Jiralhanae are usually
 * ruled purely by instict and rage, Pavium appears to have a strong tactical
 * mind. Though he would kill me for suggesting so, he would make a fine
 * Sangheili.


 * I stand guard as the jabbering Unggoy blast through the wreckage to clear a
 * route to the ruins of High Charity, so that once Pavium and Voridus
 * have looted the area around High Charity of its weapons, we may transport
 * them out quickly and avoid the brunt of the Sentinels wrath.


 * Perhaps it is the offensive musk of the Jiralhanae or the insistent chattering of
 * the Unggoy, but I feel uneasy. There is something wrong about this. We have all
 * heard the rumors of what happened to High Charity, but we do not talk too
 * loudly about them, for fear of giving them life. I see a glint of the same fear in
 * the eyes of some of the older Jiralhanae, those for whom the Covenant is not
 * just a distant memory.


 * When we joined the Banished, we set aside all Covenant lies and those guillible
 * enough to believe in them. But now that High Charity looms over us like a giant
 * dead thing, those lies do not seem so foolish. Are we not as guilty as the
 * Covenant for ignoring the warning about High Charity as they ignored the
 * tales of the Halo Rings?


 * One thing is certain. There is danger here. The Ark does not deploy its Sentinels
 * without good reason and their numbers are many.
