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. ]

You're right. It was inconsiderate of me to add to your confusion and distress at this time. I apologize, and I'll do my best to avoid that in the future.
[You don't learn things by not acknowledging your mistakes. There was a better place to kick this discussion off than in his first contact.]
