UNSC vessel "Dark Aurora" circled about the ice planet "Banea" as it launched cargo transports into the atmosphere. There were 5 Cargo Transports and 3 Prison transports. Each about the size of a Pelican dropship. Raren'Te and Gran'Dree sat alone in the third prison transport. Ever wondering about the unfamiliar Humans that have captured them. After the turbulence of de-orbit burn, they began to examine the planet from a very small observation window installed in the side. "Looks just like that horrid planet that we visited..." Raren'Te mumbled. A few moments passed by as the descent grew lots colder.
Raren'Te was chained and hauled through the snowy ice that covered the landing pad. He and some other prisoners formed a line and headed into the facility. The Med-Elite in disguise was in front, "Stay calm, Brother." He said silently over the static on the barely functioning comlink. "The Humans are taking you in for questioning, Be silent and they will not harm you." The Med-Elite continued marching. They stopped at a tunnel barred with blast doors and defense turrets. "About FACE!" The Sarge of the group sounded off. "HALT!" He yelled. Cameras dropped out of the ceiling and scanned the group. "Prisoners accepted, Continue forward..." A robotic voice said coldly. They continued as blast doors opened up. There were only 4 Elites and a Hunter pair from what Gran'Dree could see. The Grunts were all dead... A Hunter in back began to grunt and convulse, It broke free of its restraints and plowed into the group of Marines. Roaring in pain, it pulversized several marines before it stopped and fell dead. "Quick! get a quarantine cage!" A Hazmat Marine in front readied the cage. The Hunter's chest bulged and split open, and the Hazmat Marine scooped up the infant Alien into the cage as quickly as possible. The other Hunter seeing the fate of its partner began to roar in anger. Several Marines beat on it with shock sticks ablaze. It fell stunned to the ground. Raren'Te overheard a Marine's radio, "New xenomorph acquired... Ready to terminate or stun on demand..."
The interior of the prison was cold and very, very dark... Raren'Te could barely see the front of the line when ever they passed under a lamp. "You there!" A prison Guard prodded Raren'Te in the small of his back. "Get in there!" He pointed to a cell in the corner of the vast room. Thats odd... That guard is speaking Sangheili! Raren'Te thought in surprise. "You'll be staying here for the day... Your bunk mate will be joining you shortly..." The Guard ushered Raren'Te in and locked him in. "Your number is 57822... When your number is called upon... You will go into that room over there." He pointed towards a small room with one window. "But until then... Sit down and shut up. When recess is called... you will report to the mess hall." He pointed towards a door marked 'Mess hallCourtyard'. After the guard left, Raren'Te sat down on a cold wet bench and waited for something odd to happen.
Raren'Te was soon awoken by loud Sangheili shouts. He opened his eyes and looked out beyond the prison bars. "Gimme back my knives, dammit!" A cold and deep voice shouted. There was a brief scuffle in the darkness. A Honor guard clad in green armor lunged at a guard who was fumbling to open Raren'Te's cell. "WHERE ARE MY SHIV'S???" "I don't know!! I don't KNOW!" "TELL ME YOU SADISTIC (unknown word)" There was a short sharp snap... Another guard in the back ground yelled "He got Tom!" "Quick get the stun guns!" The green Honor guard stepped into the light and looked about in anger. His eyes gleamed in the darkness un-naturally... He looked straight at Raren'Te, Then back into the darkness... The Honor Guard bounded out of sight as two electric darts whizzed by. With a sudden burst of light as the darkness was illuminated by several flash lights as the guards searched. There was a loud scuffle as a guard yelled "Found him!" The Honor Guard yelled in pain as he was tazered and thrown into Raren'Te's cell. "Damn guards... took my shiv's..." The Honor Guard's voice moaned. "Who're y--" Raren'Te was cut off as a hand clasped over his throat... "No.. Who're YOU and why the hell are you in my cell!" "I... was... forced in here..." The hand let go... The voice sighed in annoyance "Gah... New meat in my cell..." The Honor Guard's green armor began to glow and flood the cell. "So, What's your story?"
