The salvaging of the Marked planet had proved to be almost a waste of time. One of the things that had been salvaged that he could use to his advantage was a database displaying the exact position of nearby planets. Alongside some articles of interest. The initial scans showed that they displayed similar traits as The Marked Planet. But alas, the planets wasn't close enough for a thorough scan for Forerunner presence. The Arbiter had formed several scouting parties to the various planets, all had orders to withstand from launching an attack. Except if a planet was defenceless and showed positive with Forerunner presence. He personally remained behind with the main force of the Pious Transgression, whom held their position above the Marked Planet, for now. As the Cloaked scouting parties was out of visual sight from the Command bridge upon The Arbiter's flagship, the Illuminated Consecration, he left the bridge and headed for his quarters. There were reports to read and study. With a single press of an illuminated button, The Arbiter had a screen pop up, displaying the scout parties and their commanders. He held little respect for those under his command, even less trust. There was one of them that he preferred over the others. Fleet-Master Rah Nar'Kolimee. During the brief encounters with this Fleet-master, he had displayed non-questionable loyalty and obedience to The Arbiter's orders. Only negative that could be said of this Sangheili was his recklessness. It had costed him victories. This is why the Arbiter chose him to travel for the planet that had hints of Forerunner technology upon it, based upon articles of archaeological findings of an ancient structure that hadn't been unlocked for centuries. The name of the planet? [b]Aurora[/b]. [hr] [b]Fifteen Hours Later.[/b] [i]Close to the planet of Aurora.[/i] The five CSS-Class battle-cruisers had the planet of Aurora in their visual sights. It didn't seem like they had any sort of orbital defences, or a defending fleet. There was decent activity of smaller ships, however. The Fleet-Master of this scouting party, Rah Nar'Kolimee, had deemed them to be travelling merchants ships and thought no more of it. His initial plan was to report the lack of any Forerunner technology, but his move was cut short by a beeping light from one of the consoles. The scanning had proved positive on Forerunner presence. It was located at one of the smaller and insignificant cities. The Arbiter's orders was clear. A physical investigation was required for this, in which the Fleet-Master himself had chosen to participate in. With their battle-cruisers cloaked, and positioned a safe distance away from the planet, The Fleet-Master and his task-force departed in cloaked transport ships, that would hopefully keep them off the radar of anyone present at the planet.
