Parker sat in the barracks alone, sharpening his combat knife as the Infinity came out of slipspace. He started a recording via his helmet. 

[color=fff200]"ONI Specialist, Spartan 666, Designation 'Parker'. The UNSC Infinity has entered and exited slipspace for the seventh time now. We're running out of places to escape to. The brass back at HQ keep sending info of more and more colonies going dark and noting that a lot are succumbing to insurrection forces. Inner colonies have gone radio silent for a while. Presumably the AI and Promethean uprisings are causing difficulties for the forces back at home..." [/color]

[color=f26522][h3]"Fire-team Quantum, please make your way to the War room for Briefing. That's Fire-team Quantum to the War Room for Briefing"[/h3][/color]

[color=fff200]"Spartan 666 signing off."[/color] Parker stopped the recording as he took his modified ODST helmet with him as he made his way to the war room.

Parker was one of the last to enter the room. His team leader Charlotte Boyd and Second in Command Bear had made their way to the two mos prominent positions at the war room table. Cash and Byrne had placed themselves in the middle of the tables seating, Byrne obviously trying to communicate with Roland. [color=f26522]"Spartan Byrne, information on the UNSC Infinity and Captain Lasky can be found on your private terminal and data pad."[/color]

As Roland had finished his sentence a message would appear on Patrick's data pad displaying links to the information he had requested.

Parker took a seat at the furthest seat away from the head of the table. [color=fff200]"Charlotte, Bear good to see you both getting along."[/color] He joked as he leant back in his seat.
