[[Seven]] years later on March 3, 2560 at 0900 hours, Dr. [[Luther Mann]] and [[Chief warrant officer|Chief Warrant Officer]] [[Dariya Voronkov]] examine a set of powered armor in Armor Bay G-11 at Anvil Station. Identified as [[ASSAILER-class armor]], it was recovered by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] during a recent operation. It resembles Sangheili combat harnesses and has been provided to Spartans for stress testing. The station’s personnel and resources have been deemed ideal for studying this new technology. | [[Seven]] years later on March 3, 2560 at 0900 hours, Dr. [[Luther Mann]] and [[Chief warrant officer|Chief Warrant Officer]] [[Dariya Voronkov]] examine a set of powered armor in Armor Bay G-11 at Anvil Station.

As they work, Sangheili [[Khar 'Tvorn]] approaches, dressed in a specialized craftsmen harness. Dr. Mann greets him in Sangheili, and 'Tvorn begins inspecting the armor. Mann explains that the armor was discovered during an operation on [[Venezia|Sqala]], where it was being used by Venezian [[Janissary|janissaries]] and independent contractors, both of whom little of known.

Dr. Mann greets him in Sangheili, and 'Tvorn begins inspecting the armor. Mann explains that the armor was discovered during an operation on [[Venezia|Sqala]], where it was being used by Venezian [[Janissary|janissaries]] and independent contractors, both of whom little of known. Their next topic is the day's significance - the seventh anniversary of the Covenant War's end; Dr. Mann reflects on the war's impact, including the destruction of [[Verent|his own homeworld]]. 'Tvorn reveals that his people escaped the Covenant’s reach during its early years and have only recently returned to a [[Milky Way|galaxy]] where the Covenant has already fallen. | ||
Mann, an expert in xenoanthropology, is fascinated by the idea that 'Tvorn’s people developed separately from the Covenant's later hierarchical structure, 'Tvorn elaborating that the Arbiter likely sent his people to Anvil Station to keep them away from current political conflicts, preserving their original perspective. Voronkov, bringing up her own experiences, shares that she lost her legs to a bombing run by [[Insurrectionist]]s, not Covenant forces. She recounts her long struggle with anti-rebel hatred and her eventual peace with the past, and notes that hatred is a part of human nature; even though the Covenant War has ended, conflict and hatred continue to shape the galaxy. Dr. Mann acknowledges that despite the war ending, conflict persists with new complexities and sides. He feels a sense of hopeful purpose at Anvil Station, choosing to honor a [[Henry Lamb|lost friend]] by continuing to contribute to the galaxy's future. The conversation returns to the armor, and 'Tvorn questions which group might have constructed it and what motivations might drive their actions. | Mann, an expert in xenoanthropology, is fascinated by the idea that 'Tvorn’s people developed separately from the Covenant's later hierarchical structure, 'Tvorn elaborating that the Arbiter likely sent his people to Anvil Station to keep them away from current political conflicts, preserving their original perspective.

Sahil tries to reassure 'Murajai, noting that the personnel are well-prepared and ready for this moment. The station has spent years building strong relationships between its human and alien members, turning them into a cohesive unit. 'Murajai, however, is focused on a display listing the units chosen for long-range deployment, particularly [[Riftborn]] special operatives. He shares the same desire as any leader—to have more time for additional training and checks, but he understands the need to adapt and trust in his team's readiness. | Sahil tries to reassure 'Murajai, noting that the personnel are well-prepared and ready for this moment.

He wishes for more actionable intelligence about the mission. but knows they must proceed with what they have. Sahil emphasizes the importance of faith - not in abstract concepts like the [[Covenant religion]]'s false promises of divinity, but their comrades, training, and everything they built together, distinct from what 'Murajai was accustomed yet disillusioned in. However, Sahil reminds him that their alliance is based on cooperation, not coercion, and that their warriors fight for each other, which could be crucial in the battle ahead. | ||
Conceding to Sahil’s counsel, 'Murajai powers down the holotable. Sahil, with a kind but firm tone, orders the Stationmaster to get some rest. Amused, 'Murajai points out that Sahil lacks the authority to give him orders, but Sahil counters by referring to their flat team structure. As he prepares to leave, Sahil notes the stone tablets etched with the saga of 'Murajai’s clan and expresses curiosity about their stories. 'Murajai promises to share them after the mission and hints at the possibility of forging a new chapter together. | Conceding to Sahil’s counsel, 'Murajai powers down the holotable.
