[i]Aurora, within the Vault[/i]

"Do we have an agreement?!"

Tartarus growled to himself as he inspected the holo projector, calculating his options. A devout member of the Covenant would've charged at the enemy at the first sight of them, but Tartarus? No, he wanted to live. He had more to accomplish in his life, some lesser beings wouldn't be the reason for his undoing. 

"Create a passage for me and my pack to go through, unharmed! You'll not touch my troops or my prisoners!"

What would stop Tartarus' superiors from punishing the Jiralhanae for allowing the enemy passage into the Vault? Well, luckily for Tartarus, there's a Covenant army just outside of the Vault. What would stop him from just charge straight back into the vault?

The Fleet-Master listened, and listened to the gathered. Then he spoke to Commander Muriel and Raldyr. Ignoring the Overseer at first.

"Leave the Aurora System. The Vault belongs to the Covenant, it is our divine right to lay claim to it due to it's information on The Great Journey. No matter how much innocent blood are spilt over i. You may still avoid a war that will end in blood. On either sides."

Then the Fleet-Master turned to the Overseer, eager to plunge his traditional Energy-Sword into the Kindal's guts. But he kept himself in check. 

"What you speak of is heresy, which neither The Prophet or The Arbiter, our leaders, will accept. I will offer you what I offered the others; Leave or there will be blood spilt. And I assure you, all of you, that The Arbiter are of the zealous ilk of my kind. He will be zealous in the potential war that will usher from this.

The holographic table projected the map of the current fields of interest. It showed the dying-battle happening down on the surface, displaying more and more assets being deployed to surface. Since there was sufficient troops deployed at the Vault, The Arbiter had deemed the nearby cities as threats to the Vault. Banshees and seraphs was deployed to conduct bombardment. Anti-Air assets was asserted into various spots around the city, to halt any unwanted guests. 

While the other spot of interest was the Fleet-Master's flagship and the Destiny Ascendant. Battle-Cruisers and support frigates was at standby if the situation changed. 
 
The Prophet and The Arbiter both awaited eagerly on what the results of the meeting would bear.
