This One Just Became a Leadership Conversation

This is Spartan One-One-Seven broadcasting on an unknown communications array.

[ A few members of the team have seen the Master Chief around, but he hasn't made major contact before now. For most of the group, it's the first time they've seen this scarred face. And for one of them, it's far from the first. ]

I understand that this is a different world than the one I come from, and we have no way to return until we accomplish an... objective.

[ An objective that they all have only vaguely heard about from a weird hallucination. He doesn't have to say that part. They already know. ]

This being the case, I'm offering my skills.

I have significant experience leading teams on a variety of ops. I can work longterm on terrain like this. You can count on me in a fight.

But first of all, I do need to know who's in charge of this outfit.

[ Bless his entire heart. ]

In hindsight, I feel like I should have given you a heads up about... this. It's not just no UNSC structure here it's, well, no structure at all.

[ Which she isn't inherently opposed to, actually, she's never actually been one for real authority even when she's gone along with it for the bigger cause, but guess who isn't getting into any of her anti-authority feelings with a Spartan? This Freelancer. ]

Though I don't think I'd have called quite this reaction, even then.
