I throw aside my empty plasma rifle as I hear your UNSC Warthog roaring down the ramps as you make your escape from the Pillar of Autumn hypercarrier. The stricken wreck has gone critical, and a devastating reactor detonation is minutes away. You, a human Spartan in the UNSC, are my last hope of getting out alive. Damn the Covenant, damn this war. Fuck it all, I might as well try. I wave with a desperate look in my eyes. My voice is that of a sangheili female. "Human! Please take me with you!"
