At some point after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Skirmisher]] [[Sav Fel]] and his crew found Sometimes Sinks in a wreck drifting in space and salvaged him.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 131''</ref> By [[2553]] Sometimes Sinks was working on the | Sometimes Sinks at one point served on board a [[Jiralhanae]] ship, but was exiled for noncompliance.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 394''</ref> At some point after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Skirmisher]] [[Sav Fel]] and his crew found Sometimes Sinks in a wreck drifting in space and salvaged him.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 131''</ref> By [[2553]] Sometimes Sinks was working on the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}, ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. During this time Sav Fel was attempting to sell the ship to [[Staffan Sentzke]]. Sav threw in the Huragok as an alternative to an [[AI]], while Staffan wasn't sure of Sav's motives. When the ship arrived at its destination, [[Shaps III]], Sometimes Sinks told Sav Fel that he couldn't use the ship's [[energy projector]]s since there were [[Forerunner]] artifacts on the surface. Sav decided to put the Huragok in the brig while they tested the energy projectors, although he was worried that the Huragok might reconfigure the locks.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 127''</ref> When [[Sav Fel]] activated the ship's energy projector, Sometimes Sinks accessed the ship's broadcast system and began wailing, upset that they were destroying the Forerunner artifacts on the planet. Sav Fel sent [[Dhak]] to go quiet the Huragok. After the firing was complete, Sinks drifted back unto the bridge distressed about them damaging the ruins. When Sentzke decided to test the beam himself, Sinks hovered at his side and began making pleading noises. Not wanting to upset the huragok, Sentzke allowed Sinks to aim the beam elsewhere to avoid damaging any more ruins and then proceeded to glass a portion of the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 132 and 133''</ref> Satisfied with the ship, Sentzke completed the deal with Fel and kept Sinks as the ship's chief engineer. Grateful of Sentzke's consideration for Forerunner artifacts, Sinks deemed him as a true [[reclaimer]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 392''</ref> | ||
Staffan kept up regular communication with the ship, checking in on Sinks every eight hours. Later on, Staffan and Edvin introduced Sinks to [[Mal Geffen]] and [[Vasily Beloi]], who were secretly undercover and had been brought onboard the ship because of their experience with operating Covenant technology. [[Kilo-Five]] later attempted to seize control of the ship by using Venezia's slipspace communicator to breach the ship's computer systems. However, [[Black-Box]]'s hack was foiled by Sinks, who alerted Sentzke of the attempted intrusion.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 233''</ref> | |||
Shortly after, Sentzke was taken in by Kilo-Five and missed his calls with Sinks. At this time, a Kig-Yar pirate crew contracted by [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] located the ''Pious Inquisitor''. Shipmistress [[Chol Von]] and her crew boarded the ship and attempted to take it for themselves. Sinks, distrustful of the Kig-Yar and only compliant to Sentzke's orders, placed the ship in complete lockdown and transitioned it over [[Venezia]]. | |||
After Kilo-Five located the ship, Sentzke convinced Sinks to allow them to come onboard. When the Kig-Yar set the ship to self-destruct, Sinks told them to evacuate immediately while he and BB worked to restore enough control to get everyone out.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 446''</ref> Sentzke took a Spirit dropship and remained in close proximity of the battlecruiser until his daughter had escaped aboard one of the ONI dropships; unbeknown to Kilo-Five, Sinks had fitted the Spirit with a slipspace drive, which would allow them to make it to a minimum safe distance even though the dropship's conventional engines could not. It was assumed by Kilo-Five and ONI that both Sentzke and Sinks - who had refused to leave the ship - died in the ship's explosion. In reality, Sinks had made it off ''Pious Inquisitor'' and unto the Spirit at the last moment, escaping with Sentzke.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 456''</ref> | |||
