"Oh brother." Elna said as Aviza made her comment, it was already bad enough that she was stuck up but here humor was not super awesome either. Super cringe, she said nothing further and continued to get ready to deploy on the spartan mommy's command. Though obviously there would be some time before they got there due to the fact it took 2 hours to get to their destination this was merely the warm up to their assault on the structure, hopefully, they would kill the brute without too much remorse and the rebels aswell. Two birds, one stone baby. She lingered around ready for a response or some kind of reaction from the group.

Roy shrugged at the comment as he prepared, though he knew Aviza was a smart ass more so than a leader he had no regrets in the decision to not follow her around as the leader of the group. "So, what we can't go off on our own this time?"Roy retorted with awesome and epic levels of sass?! Though Roy barely showed off his awesome humor probably because he had a bad taste in his mouth from these covenant sympathizers and their little unggoy and elite monkeys that follows them around or was it the other way around? It didn't matter now, it was count down time. Time until the T off was coming down and the group would simply have to work together if they were going to make it through.

It was true the crew didn't care for the apology of the every-spook, they were too engrossed with their own antics and agendas. The bay quickly devoided itself of people who cared, though Elna stuck around like a dog to it's owner. Cleaning her weapon and making sure her gear was fine, Roy was exhausted not from the combat but the team. It was going to be a long mission if it was going to keep up like this, though he thought someone should take Aviza down a notch or so.

"Yea, well there's not much we can do. It seems the covenant are received better here than The Office. It's not our faults but merely our issue to deal with now, I'm sure they'll come around - maybe. Though, I have no intentions to solicit anything from the freak-jaws, the hunter or the suicide bombing fuck. I'd expect the same from you, we'll finish this mission and hopefully keep the whining from 'her' to a minimum." Roy's mind went back to the dossiers - oh wait he didn't have any, apparently, he had no clearance to know anything about the mission or personnel.

God is a comedian.

Sometime later with his makeshift quarters (read: bed) established, he went to bed after setting up his gear for the next day. During their downtime, Roy began analyzing reports, intelligence and other information he would have access to regarding the mission (if any at all) in regards to the Brutes and URF. While examining their enemy and their abilities, the mammoth stopped as the team readied themselves. He sighed in annoyance, well there were two fuck off cruisers or something nearby. They could be annihilated without too much remorse. He was geared and ready, ignoring orders like usual he paired up with Corporal Cohen and got ready to run into the bullshit that awaited them.

"That you are correct, dear Corporal.

Maybe she forgot that the two were just walking pieces of paper compared to the Spartans, The Elites - oh and the fucking hunter. Elna wasn't even mad, maybe she coulden't see the bigger picture. She wanted to let her jaw relax so she could just mouth breath like her mother made her to be but the helmet strap was on too tight so her jaw didn't depart an inch. Maybe she should of called the Mammoth over earlier, or called them back before they passed that halfway part. Not the first time she had been charged either, but she was no psych-o-whatever she coulden't judge the weird chemicals in the Spartans head or her thought process. She could feel the proverbial waist noose tying around the two's waists, like kids wearing bracelets on a science school trip so they didn't get kidnapped.

"Yuh-huh?" Elna licked out between her jaw in response to the angry-Spartan mommy's rant. She'd play by Spartan-Alpha Morg-something's rules for now to avoid the headaches that would follow, it's not like they wanted to cause trouble it was just there's solace in flying into battle in a Mammoth rather than being scooped into a jar after being melted by a Forerunner laser.

Roy was a different case, mentally seething at the reprimand from the Spartan though it was hidden behind his awesome-sauce ONI helmet. She treated them like they were just marines, well - they use to be marines but they became smart spooks instead. It wasn't their fault that they ran, maybe the pilots shouldn't of crashed into a swarm. Roy was mission-critical, he was definitely smarter than any of the split jaws or conceited, Covenant-sympathizing Spartans. The Office has interests to maintain, if that means surviving a fatal encounter (for him) he'd do it again in an instant, they'd probably feel meager or remorseful when they had to call (or order) him to disseminate some intelligence gathered, or interrogate some URF plug.

However, due to the nature of the gross amount of covenant sympathy displayed (something apparently Elna doesn't notice) Roy would have to use some tact, charm, and perhaps a bit of gaul. Any imbalance of the three in his statement could result in the split jaws eviscerating them, or Morgensten freaking the fuck out (in whatever manifestation that maybe, he didn't want to know). Neither was desirable, he prepped his speech to appease Morgenstern.

"Spartan Morgenstern, it's evidently regrettable that we had to withdraw from the battle it was only done so tactically to acquire the Mammoth who at the time had no idea were still alive. So I made the call to head to go grab it, it's unfortunate we were too far out to turn back at the time but I'll stick with the call to move at the time. My intent wasn't to make us casualties right off the crash, however we'll continue to work closely with you during the mission you need not worry about our drive."

Roy wondered, would a spartan laser just fucking melt Vael or would he just explode into little Sanghelli pieces? Elna lazily blinked at Roy's desperate shilling or justification for it all, too bad it didn't matter in the end.

The two were the first of the group to make it to the Mammoth with their impressive running skills and meeting them halfway, they went to jump on the turrets like they planned to do so from the start and they began to fire on the rest of the robots when the Mammoth did finally arrive at to the group. Corpsing a few without too much remorse, the two went down to the cargo bay where they met up with the squads. Roy lacked behind as Cohen dragged over the Elite's Carbine, handing it back completely emptied of ammo. "Thanks." She said as she passed the extra weight off her person, returning to her BR-55. Roy hanged back behind his escort as they walked into the cargo bay.

"We're minto-pinto, Spartan." The place was massive and Elna quickly found a seat for herself on one of the seats attached to the Mammoth, Roy soon followed. The sentinels were a problem in numbers, but the group had the firepower to deal with them but the problem had come and gone and the mission could be continued without too many problems at hand. Sure they ran off to grab the Mammoth, but they were too far gone to turn back at that point. Neither were too concerned, so it appeared. It was a one-off move, regardless both remained mission-focused. Atleast there was safety in the Mammoth, for now.

While the desperate Spartan called out for the group to return, they were probably almost half way to the Mammoth before the call to return was heard. Roy tried to turn around, but Elna grabbed him by the wrist to prevent his return. "We're too far out." She growled before pushing the man back in the 'right' direction. They were too far gone to return to the beam spurting bastards only to be gassed and probably just to jump back on the Mammoth. The call from some no name marines came through, they'd try to come pick them up. Though a plateau had them delayed, upon seeing them move around the Plateau the pair adjusted their course. They would probably meet them half way, jump on and jump on one of those emplacements aboard and mow down some robot slag.

"Mammoth, expect to pickup two - we'll meet you halfway before the group." Elna radioed in, and ahead so they weren't turned into squishy ONI pancakes. They would jump on and hitch a ride back into the fight, if there are no complications that thump along the way.

So sad.
