Arizona stepped onto the Son. So, this is our new home?

North grinned, cleaning his glasses. "Yep!"

"Aren't Prowlers exclusively for ONI?", Arizona asked

"Well, I used to be in an ODST squad that worked closely with ONI. We used this ship at Reach. I personally modified it once it docked with the Mother of Invention. It now has a thicker hull, more weapons, an expanded hangar, and a few secrets i refuse to expose.", North explained.

"Okay then."

"Let's go for a ride!"

"I'm game."

"Me too"

The Deltas stepped on, and set off towards a system all 3 of them had been to. When they arrived, something was wrong...

"Jacobs, cloak us!", North yelled.

The Second Son cloaked just as a huge Insurrectionist frigate came out of slipspace.

"North, what is that?", Vermont asked.

Wash walked in, then realized what was happening. "What the heck?"

Jacobs turned to North. "Sir, if we stay too long, we risk the chance that they will notice us."

North tried to figure this out. What did he have? What advanteges did he have? Oh! he had that... Yes! "Vermont, get on Weapons! Wash, you're on movement! Arizona, you're on Tactical! Jacobs, be a second mate. I'm taking the con."

North readied himself in the Captain's Chair. He had a plan. A stupid plan, but a plan nonetheless.
