The Prophet of Truth came into the dimly lite room with purple bulk heads which the Covenant used for all there battle ships and buildings. There great holy city called High Charity was final down the construction was held up by the Grunt rebillion. The three Prophet meet in a great hall where the great Arbiters would rest. Another casket was added as the Arbiters of the Grunt rebillion was lied to rest of what was left of him. He had ended the Grunt rebillion and gained a thousand kills during the short rebillion finally cut down by freindly fire during the raid of the rebels headquaters on the Grunt home world.
But at the present the Hieretics where there to decide the fate of a newly discovered race. Mercy started the meeting by activating a holo display in front of the three Prophets. It was a vid from a helmet holocam of an Elite warrior. The Elite Ossooma or eye of the Prophets which was there nickname controlling the camera was surrounded by memebers of his race. All the elites where in light blue armor meaning they where rookie to the field. They where in a jungle and it was dark but you could see the lights on the end of there plasma rifles and the lights on there armor. Many of the Elites where serching for something. Then a few units into the mission a load howl could be heard in the distance. the jungle came to live and long sharp metal tiped sticked began to come from all dictections. The elite's shield held and they leveled there rifles and began to fire into the vegation. the plasma bolts cut though the jungle but there was still no enemy to be seen. Then four armored clad creatures came from the front the Elite's rifles hit the armored creatures but it did not slow there advance. One of the creature hit the Elite infront of him with a bulky piece of metal on the creature left arm. The other elite hit the Ossooma with the helmet cam the screen went black then it said signal lost on the screen. Regret broke the silence by saying there was only one surviver.
Truth told the other Prophets "The expolriatory fleet that had deployed the squad of Elite warriors was looking for are gods ruins on the planet and did find some on the surface". Then Truth said " So they evolved on a planet with are gods ruins on it". He continued with " We must make them see the light and make them join the Covenant". Mercy looked toward Truth " we can tell from the hologram that they are inteligent they made personal armor, made there own weapons, and used basic militray tatics". In a low voice Regret voiced his opinion " But they are violent and are few in number if we go to war to make them join are Covenant we may extermate them". Truth said " They are organized into tribes that often war with each other like are ansectors and the Elites once did". He continued " We where once like them but we where able to form this Covenant we should give them a chance to join the Covenant". Mercy in his deep voice said " If take out the most powerful tribe and so the others can see are power the other might come to use if not we force them to come into are fold". Regret said " But who will lead thsi crusade are Arbiter is dead and where still recovering from the Grunt rebillion". Mercy said " We should name a new Arbiter to lead a small group of speacil ops onto the planets surface to crush the alien tribe". Truth said in a calm voice " Ok well brind it too a vote if you want a new Arbiter and a few crusade then raise your hand". Truth and Mercy raised there hands and Regret didn't he looked disguied.
Regret looked a Truth and wispered " War monger". Truth was the youngest and most rash of the group when he gained office he declared he would never shy from a fight which made the Elites love him but made many of his race afraid of him. Then Truth said " Watch your tongue Regret". Mercy asked the other Prophets " And where will we find this Arbiter ". Regret answered while still looking at Truth " How about we name the Elite who survived the last encounter the new Arbitar give him a chance to get revenge on thses creatures for his squad".
Kolomen was sitting in a troop bay of a Phantom only units before he had lost his whole squad to a group of mysterious cretures on some worthless planet. He had started to question he path in life after his brothers died in the field. But his whole life he knew he would be in the military his father was a field master during the crusdae to bring the Jacklas into the Covenant. Every male in his family for hundreds of units had fought and died for the great journey. His armor was still stained by the dried blood of his fallen comrades. The Phantom was jolted then there was thud it was in the process of landing in the Carriers phantom bay. The pilot opened the troop bay doors and Kolomen walked out onto the puprle bulk head. Major Rosolmen a great veteran of the Grunt rebillion came up to Kolomon. Rosolmen asked Kolomon " where are the others what was it like down there?" Then Rosolmen noticed the blood on his comrade's armor. Kolomen said in a wisper the words barly escaped his mouth " There all died". Rosolmen said " I feel bad for your lose but we will avenge them the Prophets have ordered a crusade to make these creature join the Covenant ". The major continued with a smile on his face " And they have named a new Arbiter and I hear it's an Elite on this ship ". He then shouted " It's Rosolmen's chance to shine ". Rosolmen had great dreams of one day being a great counciler someday the best way to get in the council was to rise though the rankls of the military. Kolomen didn't have dreams like that he wanted to be a farmer or a trader but they had no glory in them atleast that's what his father had said. Kolomen and Rosolmen had meet in basic training but Kolomen's "lack of motivation" had kept him from many promoitions but Rosolmen didn't lack motivation and went up the ladder very fast. Rosolmen was the best canidate to be Arbiter. Being Arbier was the last thing he wanted.
