Voro Nar 'Mantakree: Difference between revisions

The ''Incorruptible'''s commander, [[Ship Master]] [[Tano 'Inanraree]], who was a member of the [[Governors of Contrition]], was overcome by religious fervor and ordered the ship to be infected by the [[Flood]]. The Governors of Contrition believed ''all'' Forerunner creations were sacrosanct, even the parasitic Flood infestation of Halo.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 192</ref> 'Mantakree was forced to kill his former mentor and friend with a [[Needler]] to end his insanity. This was an act of heresy, and normally Voro would have been killed by the [[Mgalekgolo]] bonded pair of [[Paruto Xida Konna]] and [[Waruna Xida Yotno]], who were responsible for the safety of the Ship Master or, failing that, the death of the attacker. However, the rest of the crew agreed that Tano's judgment had been clouded. With support from the rest of the crew, 'Mantakree was made Ship Master of the [[Reverance-class]] cruiser [[Incorruptible]]. [[Y'gar]], the eldest bridge officer, said, "Tano was devout to the end. But his reasoning, in light of recent events, was not sound. This was regrettable, but necessary... Ship Master."<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 191</ref> Voro ordered Grunts to remove Tano's body from the bridge but said leave Tano's blood remaining where it was as a reminder of the price he had paid for their survival.

While all of this was going on, the ''Incorruptible'' had been targeted by two Brute frigates, the ''[[Tenebrous]]'' and the ''[[Twilight Compunction]]''. Both of the ships launched salvos of plasma and disabled the [[energy shields]] of the ''Incorruptible''. Voro took evasive action and hid behind the [[Covenant Carrier]] ''[[Lawgiver]]'', whose shields were at full capacity. When the ship emerged from behind the ''Lawgiver'', Voro targeted the ''Tenebrous'' first, using plasma to disable and cripple the ship's shields before finishing it off with the ''Incorruptible'''s [[Energy Projector]]. He then opened the starboard launch bay and vented plasma into the cannons, making them appear to charge and move towards the Jiralhanae cruiser. The ''Twilight Compunction'' retreated for the moment, "As they should when presented with superior firepower... even if that power was an illusion".<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 195</ref> He stayed insystem for a short while to try to eliminate all of the remaining Flood-controlled ships. He was able to create a short truce between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae while they destroyed the Flood-controlled ships and four additional ships that were in the process of being infected. Within moments, however, the Jiralhanae started targeting [[Sangheili]] ships again, even though the [[Flood]] had not been completely eliminated. Shortly thereafter, 'Mantakree ordered that the ''Incorruptible'' jump to [[Slipspace]], as it would have been "madness" to stay there and fight.

Voro took his newly found flagship to the [[Salia System]] outpost world [[Joyous Exultation]]. 'Mantakree and his ship intercepted a wayward transmission from the Jiralhanae frigate indicating that the ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' was under the control of the [[Demons]]. When he met with [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], Voro was one of thirty representative Ship Masters who had been called from the two hundred vessels in orbit to hear Xytan's words.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 240</ref> Voro voiced his opinion to 'Jar Wattinree and fellow Ship Masters that victory might mean nothing if the Flood upon Halo were to escape; it had to be cleansed from the galaxy if the Sangheili were to survive.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 241</ref> Instead of having him killed, as Voro suspected, the Imperial Admiral instead acknowledged the truth of Voro's words.

[[Oracle Master]] [[Parala 'Ahrmonro]] then played a transmission intercepted from the COM probe that [[Cortana]] had sent en route to [[Earth]]. Voro did not understand all of the words, but he did make the connection that Spartans were the ones responsible for the destruction of one of the Holy Rings. The Imperial Admiral made 'Mantakree [[Fleet Master]] of the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]] and charged him to go to Onyx, protect and secure the holy artifacts, and destroy the Demons, denying them their prize at all costs. At this point, the Imperial Admiral gave Voro a middle name (Nar), most likely signifying that he is a Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree. <ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 243</ref> Voro's fleet left Joyous Exultation by transitioning into Slipspace seconds before [[Admiral Whitcomb]]'s [[NOVA Bomb]] detonated, atomizing the majority of the remaining [[Covenant Separatist]] ships, and Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree along with it.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'''</ref>

When the fleet arrived at Onyx, they received a welcome from the [[Sentinels]]. Voro sent the ''[[Far Sight Lost]]'' and its commander, [[Ship Master]] [[Qunu]], to make contact with the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]]s. Qunu began speaking a ritual greeting. The Sentinels responded by making a transmission through the Prophets channel which said: "Rescue phase concluded. Threat-analysis phase concluded. Reclaimant request for [[Shield World]] access... denied. Initiating outer defense program."<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 279</ref> The Sentinels then destroyed the ''Far Sight Lost''. After the ship was destroyed, 'Mantakree ordered his ships to target all Sentinels coming towards his Fleet. While the Sentinels were powerful ''en masse'', their shields could not withstand the combined fire of the Covenant fleet. Fleet Master Voro ordered the ''[[Absolution]]'' to make a Slipspace jump to the northern pole of Onyx. Immediately after the ship exited Slipspace, a wave of Sentinels fired upon and destroyed ''Absolution'' before the ship's shields could come online. He then ordered no ships to enter Slipspace without his viable permission. Voro scanned the northern pole to find a clue as to how the Sentinels had jumped fleet-wide, finding that the Sentinels could hone in on the Slipspace destinations, but could not generate Slipspace themselves. After the fleet vaporized what was left of the Sentinels, the ships moved into the planet's atmosphere. There they met with little resistance from the Sentinels and Voro recognized the holy Forerunner scriptures on the walls and ground. Voro ordered [[Y'gar]] to pulse the Greeting of the Ancients, though he doubted there were any Forerunners present. Instead, he picked up a signal from another Covenant ship, the ''Bloodied Spirit''. 'Mantakree was able to triangulate the signal of the ship and ordered his Hunter pair to muster the reserves from every ship in the fleet because he was going to lead the assault. When he discovered the [[Core Room Antechamber]], he ordered all ships to the "OVERARCH" attack pattern and to prepare for an orbital descent.
