[ master chief— an unlikely ally, as far as Herc was concerned. he hadn't set out to look for people to work with, but if he was going to trust anyone up here outside his rangers, it might be that man. ]
gave me a contact, cortana. figured we might get a comms system running with their help. he's said he met mako, sir?
[ Raleigh couldn't give two shits about the how part if he tried, but Raleigh's also lost a copilot before, by his own mistakes. Even if it were lip service, he just wants to hear from those he trusts that they're making the right calls here.
[ and it sounds short and contrite, but Herc can't bring himself to extrapolate. that Raleigh has done plenty since they've been here to keep Herc focused, to keep things operating when the marshall knows he's been compromised. knows he still is. ]

[ because Chief had told him directly he'd look out for his rangers, and Herc told him he'd do the same ]

( wk 6 dy 5 )
who's on their crew, sir?
[ The Marshal's word is more than enough for him. ]
( wk 6 dy 5 )
I assume Cortana might also be involved in some regard.
( wk 6 dy 5 )
so there's four from the UNSC that we know of?

she's good people. knows her stuff too. we could use her help.
