Planet Sangheilios -1002 hours, 2551</i>

Azhaq looked around the crowded dining hall.
Leaning over to Ithix he said, “It’s not usually this busy is it?”
“Nope, we are obviously missing something here.”
“Well at the moment all I care about is getting something to eat,” he said shrugging and began walking towards the service area.

As he walked he saw a few familiar faces;

He saw Soru sitting by himself off near the corner, something about him unsettled Azhaq, Soru seemed to enjoy killing way too much, even by Brute standards and it was worrying.
Azhaq wondered what had made him that way.

He also saw the Ultra known as Kosuk heading to another one of the exits.
Kosuk was a fine warrior but he also unnerved Azhaq, his belief in the promise of the Halos was bordering on fanaticism and he was pretty brutal to any that did not believe in them, most of this was directed at the humans.
But then again Azhaq had always questioned the Covenant something about the Prophets had always seemed false to him and now he had even more reason to not trust them.

He turned to Ithix, “Do you know if Papad is still serving here?”
Ithix looked at him and grinned, “Of course, he offered to have food brought to you yesterday but I told him you weren’t in a state to eat it. That got him worried, he’ll be glad to see you.”
“Is he on shift now?”
“No idea, go and find out”

Azhaq continued walking towards the service area when he saw another friendly face.
“Hello there Crystal!”
Crystal looked up and grunted ‘hmmo’
“Enjoying your meal?” Azhaq said chuckling.
‘Uhuh’ she mumbled swallowing the food
Azhaq looked down at the plate to see an unusual site.
“Is that.....it looks like.....”
“Brain? I got it from those humans I killed a couple of days ago, you’d be surprised at what you can do with a sword.”
Azhaqs eyes drifted from the food to Crystals face.
“Are you being serious?”
“Of course not, what do you take me for? It’s just some new style of cooking shrike eggs.”
“You really worry me sometimes” he replied shaking his head and walked off towards the service area.

Azhaq looked over his shoulder at Suiwa and Ithix and thought for a moment before speaking.
“I need to be alone for a while, I have something I need to think about.”
They both looked at him with a concerned expression.
“I will explain everything soon, but for now need to clear my head.”
Ithix shrugged and walked away and Suiwa nodded and also walked away.

Azhaq continued to the serving area and stood by the counter and waited for the grunt behind to notice him.
“Me be with you in a minute, sir” the Grunt said over his shoulder as he pulled a tray of torkun bread from an oven.
“It’s ok, I can wait for a friend.”
The grunt squeaked with excitement and almost dropped the tray, “Azhaq, sir?”
“Papad, how many times have I told you not to call me sir?”
“Sorry Azhaq sir,” Papad squeaked as he placed the tray on a table, “I mean sorry Azhaq.”
“How have you been Papad?”
“Me been good sir, many people been coming here recently, making lot of money.”
“Speaking of money, how much is some of that bread today?”Azhaq asked pointing towards the tray that Papad had just put down.
“For you sir it is nothing, me pay for it” he replied with a happy look in his eyes.
“I’m sorry but I can’t allow tha...”He trailed off as his hands reached an empty pouch. “Well it looks like I will have to accept your offer for now.”
“Here is your meal sir” Papad said passing him the bread.
Azhaq raised an eyebrow as he said sir and Papad chuckled nervously. “Sorry.”
“Thank you for the bread Papad” Azhaq said lifting the bread and smiling as he walked to a table. Half way there he turned around and went back, “One last thing, would you happen to have any paper and a pencil?”
Papad nodded and reached behind the counter and produced them.
“Thank you.”
Azhaq sat down and placed his food and the paper on a table, grasping the pencil he realised what he had to do. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
