[h2][b]Eri 'Moram - Aboard the Phantom[/b][/h2]

[hr]

Following the Human's request, Eri approached Jerus with some suspicion, though her expression was hidden behind her helmet. "You wish to claim this prisoner for yourself, Human? Were it my choice, he would not be leaving my sight, but my orders were clear that negotiation with our...allies would fall to my commanders. Give me a moment." 

Eri produced a datapad and stepped aside to contact her superiors. She spoke entirely in Sangheili to give her report on the situation and Jerus' request. After only a short delay, Eri had her instructions. Wordlessly, she approached Jerus and held the datapad up to him so that he could clearly see the semi-circular, holographic display. She opened a communications channel with the bridge of the [i]Aegis[/i], though since Falul himself was busy with the battle, it was his second, Uril, who appeared on the screen. 

Uril gave no heed to formalities or introductions, instead getting straight to business. "Human, I have been told your vessel wishes to be the one to hold the prisoner we have taken together. An admiral, from my understanding. The [i]Immaculate Aegis[/i] may be willing to support your request, but only on the condition that you allow one of our teams to remain on your vessel and actively join the interrogation."
