The class's expedition is rather dramatically interrupted, however, as a massive six-legged creature appears within the structure and proceeds to begin wrecking everything in sight. Spenser assaults the beast, but it shrugs off rounds from his sidearm easily. The beast proceeds to go after Spenser, destroying every vehicle in its path. The ONI agent avoids it, barely. Escaping outside, Bakar identifies the creature as a rafakrit, a mythical beast of Sangheili lore. Kasha derides him for believing it to be real, then realizes he is in fact right. The local security forces of the base engage it, but it cuts through them easily. Kasha leaves the students to go distract the beast and save Spenser, managing to do so and draw it away from the former ONI agent, only to get caught in the beast's sights herself. She almost escapes, but injures her leg in the process. | The class's expedition is rather dramatically interrupted, however, as a massive six-legged creature appears within the structure and proceeds to begin wrecking everything in sight.

Remembering something from the stories of his childhood about rafakrits being afraid of high pitched noises, Molly has Gudam shriek to pull it away from Kasha. It works; but the beast comes towards them instead. The four engage in a running evasion battle, drawing the monster away for a good five minutes and are almost killed until Spenser arrives with the heavy ordnance; a Gauss Warthog. The M68 ALIM on the LAAV easily punches through the rafakrit's natural armor and kills it straight out. | Remembering something from the stories of his childhood about rafakrits being afraid of high pitched noises, Bakar (through Molly's cajoling) has Gudam shriek to pull it away from Kasha.

Shaken, but alive, the four teenagers realize just what happened...and Kareem notes that whoever mentioned rafakrits were afraid of loud noises had wanted anyone who made them to die instead. Molly realizes that the four of them are, in effect, now friends, and decides that if what they had just been through didn't make them friends, she wouldn't know what would. | Shaken, but alive, the four teenagers realize just what happened...and Kareem notes that whoever mentioned rafakrits were afraid of loud noises had wanted anyone who made them to die instead.
