[So guess who also shot at the Moogles and guess who also got to experience a stop spell stasis field, and who's less than happy about the whole thing?]

[This girl.]

[A video feed opens on another fully armored personnel, her Israeli accent edged with frustration.]

Noble Two calling Noble Actual. Come in Noble Actual. Colonel Holland? Auntie Dot -- Someone needs to tell me what the hell is going on.

[Some brief, jerking movements as she tries to brush off the Meow Wow that keeps rubbing up against her leg and snuffling affectionately.] Stop it. If I'd known you are what I was making I wouldn't have bothered. Go away before I shoot you.

[Colour Carolina unimpressed at you stating the obvious.]

Unfortunately.

Agent Carolina, also of UNSC Project Freelancer.

[inmylight_commander]

I am Noble Two, second in command of Noble Team. I hear you're the acting CO of Freelancer?

[guerriera]

[ 'Acting'? There's a mirthless smile hidden by her visor. ]

In a manner of speaking, I suppose that's true, given our current situation.

[Her tone turns a little more clipped.] What's your last memory from home, Noble-Two?

[inmylight_commander]

That's classified information.

[She briefly considers at least giving Carolina the date, but thinks better of it. She didn't want to hand over any information the woman could use against her later.]

[guerriera]

..Very well.

[Oh, it's like that, is it.]

Understood, Spartan. In that case, I'll take care of Epsilon from here.

[inmylight_commander]

See that you do.

[She's got enough information for now, and a good feeling for how much she shouldn't trust these guys.]

[guerriera]

[You're inspiring such confidence yourself there, Kat! Heping that Spartan image right along.]

[Carolina doesn't having anything else to say to you. As such, the line disconnects abruptly, without fanfare. But rest assured she'll be keeping an eye on Epsilon for more reasons than the usual.]
