Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/A New Commander


 * Balkarus, Brute captain. Recorded Date: 4/1/2559


 * Forticus, we have received the Huragok you sent us and have already put them
 * to work around the operation site. I have tasked a Sangheili to look after them,
 * for I cannot stomach to be around them for long. Simply the sight of the
 * Sangheili communicating to those creatures with strange hand signals repulses
 * me. I often need to punt three or four short ones into a deep chasm before my
 * mind settles again!


 * I fear I would need to kick a thousand Unggoy into the depths to restore my
 * peace of mind after meeting our new commander. While stationed at the raid
 * camp, I heard utterings about a Lekgolo who had risen up the ranks to the
 * standing of actually having Atriox's ear! I know these rumors to be true, and
 * that it calls itself 'Colony'. I have only glimpsed its hulking form from a
 * distance, but the others swear they actually heard it speak, or something close
 * to a sound. I can tell many of the younger Brutes are nervous in its presence
 * and guard their conversations, for if they are truly a hive mind, then surely all
 * eels hear what one hears.


 * Atriox appears to have tasked Colony with investigating the ancient
 * technologies here and restoring them for our own use. He, they - whatever it
 * is - seems to have curbed its feasting habits and has already made progress in
 * establishing a cloaking field over the site. Such power makes me nervous. The
 * Lekgolo are formidable fighters, but sometimes I wish the Covenant had left
 * them burrowing away amongst the relics like the worms they are. Still, if it
 * gives us the chance to strike back at the humans, then I welcome it, but it is
 * not the natural way of things!


 * I must end my transmission now: I swear I heard something slithering behind
 * me.
