	Tasuma spent the next two days in a less traveled corner of the Mammoth, in a pile of lekgolo worms, with its armor and weapons piled next to it. Tasuma spent its time focused on growing the colony, expecting that it would need more mass to survive this mission. It noticed that under the command of the ODSTs, the hunter was used as a mobile mortar. Held back just behind the front lines to provide a solid defense for a quick and sudden fall back action, and utilizing its assault cannon as a makeshift mortar. However under the command of Sangheili and Spartans, it noticed that more often than naught Tasuma was utilized as a breakthrough or bodyguard unit, often times separated from the main team. Tasuma thought it was because of the smaller unit scale, and granted, Aegis was a smaller unit.

	Occasionally members of the team would stop by and they would have some small talk. Yalu discovered that he was actually Tasuma's senior, having served longer in the military, though not by much. Aviza discovered that Tasuma had an interest in human movies and novels, and that once he pranked a whole platoon of ODSTs who were piling into a theater for some R&R. Tasuma had split his body into many smaller forms and taken each seat, eliciting some 40 or so surprised apologies or exclamations from drop troopers who nearly sat on the lekgolo worms.

	When the Mammoth suddenly halted, Tasuma felt urgency in some of the crewmembers and Aegis members. In response the colony moved over, occupying its empty armor and forming the two armed, two legged Mgalekgolo form. It took only a moment, and then it stood upright.  It looked around, signifying that Tasuma was idle and awaiting orders.

	Tasuma followed the team, taking up the rear once more. It stayed a little more than a dozen meters behind the team, short enough that Tasuma would be able to sprint up to the team if they required armor, and far enough that the Hunter would be able to provide indirect fire support with its assault cannon. Though it didn't have a spotter to give it accurate coordinates and degrees to fire at, Tasuma knew enough to do it himself, though with less accuracy.
