NOAH
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
The regret of not having Deimos on the tundra, at the Sea of Glass, stung. "I know. I'm sorry, Deimos." He should have pressed for them to get the hybrid. With Deimos there, they could have ended the ascended threat that made the battle harder than it needed to be. Noah sighed. " Please forgive me." He would not endeavor again without the Sword -- it was something he could not afford to do any longer. They needed each other at their sides.
"Morgan showed once again that she is in full support of the Ascended. The people of Halo have to know." Noah shifted his weight, pulling his limbs in close. "I...have a way into the Citadel that cannot be stopped." Noah said, pulling the compass from his pocket and showing it to the Sword. "I agreed to join the Order, and in return was given this." He used his other hand to pull the basilisk amulet from beneath his shirt, showing it only for enough time for Deimos to set his eyes on it before replacing it. "I can get to the Citadel but I will not be undetected. I only need to be there with enough time to place a notice. In and out in a flash." He said, returning the compass to his pocket.
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...
