Cassandra stood in the briefing room with both of her arms crossed over her chest starring up at the ambassador talking with the captain of the Earth's Providence, she already read the briefing files and knew the mission. "You know Cassie, staring at the Ambassador Chistina Hays like that would probably scar him for life." James said with a laugh.

"You know the reason why I hate this assignment." Cassandra sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose and turned to look at her closest friend and the only person she trusted. "Don't you hate the hinge-heads?" Cassandra asked staring him in the eyes, James gave her a slight shrug as he leaned back in his seat. "I don't hate them nor like them, I mean yes they did try to kill us off." He answered.

The ambassador walked over to them, a woman who looked to be in her mid thirties with blue eyes and blonde hair looked at the two ODST's who were talking. "Lets go over and meet our new guests." She said as she headed over towards the door, the two ODSTs walking behind her and headed down the hallways until finally they were inside of the hangar bay of Earth's Providence.

Cassandra watched as a Phantom Dropship started to slowly land into the hangar bay, all she wanted to do was get a rocket launcher and shoot it down. But she knew the importance of the mission. As the Phantom finally came to a landing just above the deck of the ship and the bay doors opening. 

Out came three sangheili, two of which Cassandra knew were males due to their size but then she turned to the Ultra, this Elite seemed to be much skinnier then their male counterparts. "I thought female hinge heads stayed back home, and do whatever it is that they do on their planet." James whispered, Ambassador Hays just shook her head as she approached the Sangheili party. "I would like to welcome you to the UNSC Earth's Providence." She said speaking in almost fluent Sangheili. Cassandra stood there glaring at the Elites but didn't say anything.
