Cortana: The Lost Story

Armada

I'm getting somewhat close to Requiem. Close enough to be able to see it on the radar. It's still going to be a long time before I get there but I can see it. The Elite traffic is crazy. There are a lot of them. They brought an army. There are so much more of them than I imagined. With a crew that large they probably brought some higher ups. The Arbiter won't be there seeing as he is no longer alive. I don't think this is Arbiters crew at all. I think it is Jul M'damas. So I can imagine he is there. With him probably Parg Vol. That's the only reason they'd have such a large amount of troops there. This is going to be more difficult than I thought. Not only do we have to deal with the Didact, (the most dangerous enemy we've ever faced) we also have to deal with getting home, me dying, and now there's also the fact that the most dangerous Elites are there too. The worst part is, both sides would like to see us dead. So we have to face two army's. At the same time. Also if I'm right Oni will want us dead by the end of this two. So really, we had no allies. Once we get to Requiem everyone is our enemy. We will only have each other. Once I get close I think I'm going to communicate with the Elites a little bit. See if I can get any info out of them, and it also gives me something to do. Since I'm not giving off any signal they can't track me. So it's completely safe. They will probably just assume I'm on Requiem already. If by chance they find me I'll come up with something to take them out. While I've never met Jul in person I've heard the stories. He's ruthless, will kill anything or anyone to get what he wants, and he doesn't stop until it's given to him. Sometimes not even then. I know that the Arbiter and him never really got along. Even when they were on the same side of the war they never agreed with each other. Constantly fighting for power. Which is what caused them to both end up leading different groups of former Covenant soldiers when the Covenant broke up. So this isn't Arbiters crew at all, this is the bad side. The ones you don't want to meet, and I'm heading straight for them.
