Ardo and Cado rush to Vali's side quickly helping her to her feet. There are no noticeable injuries on the battle-scarred leader except for the burn flesh of her chest where her armor did not protect her.
She moves out oif Ardo and Cado's hold. "I'm fine..." she growls. She moves over to where everyone is surrounding Rgis, a look that tells everyone not to bring up the fact that she's injured.
Rgis looks at Vali for a moment from the floor before coughing to break the ice. He clutches his chest, trying to somewhat hold Kysh's "stichings" in place. He begins to stand.
"I'll... be fine," he grumbles. "All little lost honor never hurt a Sangheili..." he continues, grabbing Ardo's extnded hand to help him to his feet. "In fact it teaches us humility... it is the gods putting us back in our place."
Vali nods and looks at Kysh who in turn nods. It was an honorless duty... but someone had to do it. Vali was thankful for Kysh... he may not be much of a warrior but he had saved one not easily replaced.
Still the Sangheili's "stichings" would not hold for long... and he hadn't the adequate tools to remove the Demon's cursed bullets. If Rgis was not taken to the ship were Kysh had the right tools and could finish his job then the Sangheili may yet die a dishonorable death.
And Vali would not allow that...
"We need to get back to the ships," Vali begins. "We can hunt these Demons another day-"
"No," Rgis growls. "Kysh and Al'bus will come with me back to the ship. You are your men will continue on," he says, stepping towards Vali. "Thell and his as well... " he glances towards Thell then looks back at Vali. "Hunt the unholy creatures down... retreive whatever it is they retreived... and complete your mission."
...Spartans, Ancient Structure...
There had been too many Elites... she would have been killed and she knew that. Maybe she wanted to go like that. Of course she didn't want to give the Covie bastards the satifaction of having killed one of UNSC best.
But Daar had pulled her out of the fight... that wouldn't be the first time he'd saved her ass. She followed him down the dim passageway now, focusing on the strange round object he held under his arm while he ran.
They'd been sent here to retrieve some Covenant holy artifact... thing was she didn't know what the hell it was.
Or what it could do...
...UNSC, AMRD: SOS 0023, callname: Alliance; Ancient Structure...
Maximus growls as the passageway lights up further down the tunnel. He sniffs the air for a scent... but there is nothing. Another growl. More Demons.

Okay... see all that ribberish a.k.a. "UNSC AMD SOS 0023, callname: Alliance"? This stands for "United Nations Space Command, Advanced Military Reserach Division: Special Operations Squad 0023, callname: Alliance". I put this up so you'll understand everything because from now on I'm gonna only refer to the ground as "Alliance". That little piece up there just gives a bit more understand on everything... I hope.
