It was just another normal fay at Blood Gulch, hot as hell with nothing to do. Vultures passed through the sky as Jack watched them, wishing he could leave the barren place.<br/>"Hey Sig, I bet you a grenade that you can't take the feathers of those birds without killing them." Jack said, as he zoomed in on the targets, noting one large vulture with three underlings. Sig sighed, as he jumped atop the base, before aiming with the beam rifle. Three swift beam shots fired, as the feathers on the birds burnt swiftly, before the birds died from the heat. "Since you killed them, you get to go pick them up buddy." Jack said, chuckling as he spun his pistol around his finger.<br/><br/>Deep in space, a unknown covenant ship floated through the dark blackness, its dark purple texture glowing from the blue energy that came from the engine. Inside the ship various grunts and Jackals passed by, as Gral leaned against the wall, throwing various energy daggers at a nearby target. A brute chieftain walked up to him, chuckling as he threw his spiker at the target, the bladed tip hitting it with precision. "Still trying to beat me, aye Gral?" The chieftain said, as he leaned next to Gral. "Please Garthramus, your accuracy paes in comparison to mine." Gral said, looking at the chieftain, now known as Garthramus. "Whatever helps you sleep at night friend."
