Gray Team: Difference between revisions

A few days after the fighting was over, the members of Gray Team and Melody Azikiwe arrived at the {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}}. There, the assembled crewmembers greeted the Spartans as war heroes, saluting them. As they proceeded to the briefing room, they were greeted by ONI Commander [[Yarick]]. Before continuing the briefing, Yarick quickly dismissed Melody, informing her that the Office of Naval Intelligence highly regarded her services, but no longer required them. As Melody left, he also informed the Spartans that as most of the commanding officers Gray Team dealt with earlier are no longer operational, he will be taking over as their new CO. As such, he provided the Spartans a choice to decide their own fate. Because of their actions on Glyke, some people see the Gray Team as [[war criminal]]s and insist on decommissioning with general discharge or hardship discharge, while ONI would secretly employ the Spartans' skills in other ways. The other option, which was more preferable to ONI, was to keep Gray Team intact and active, for them to continue operating deep in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]] with the promise of a formal pardon from [[Thel 'Vadam]], leader of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. However, this option implied that the Spartans should become a part of a specialized interspecies strike team under the authority of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Believing they could not be anything but Spartans, Gray Team agreed to work for ONI, though quite reluctantly, additionally making their own requests, such as a prowler by Mike and a long list of Covenant weaponry by Adriana. Some time after the briefing, Commander Yarick reported to Admiral [[Serin Osman]], who secretly arrived via prowler to take a look at Carrow for herself. He informed the Admiral of the Spartans' decision and requests. Osman granted their demands, additionally ordering to outfit the Spartans with new sets of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|armor]].
