At the far end of the walking path around Los Roques de Garcia are some really amazing stone formations.

Dakka stares at the information as it sinks in before growling lowly. As he rises he draws his web gun and a means to inject a tracker into them. “Antoinette. Meet me at the training room.” grabing his data pad, he noted out the weaknesses he knew of well as barrowing a few of Brutis’s men to boost up if there is an issue.
“The first that went missing was Raiden, then he came back and seemed a bit different. The next thing i know they areall gone.” The once purple spartan stated as she started looking at the data pad she had the info on. As she looked she noticed a new message from someone she didnt reconize.“anyone know who this it from?”
Opening the message she found a recorning of her team on some planet/base gathering tech.
The Halo video appered to be a few weeks old. In the feed the 3 missing spartans appeared to be a bit bigger and a bit faster. They moved in a way that reminded Antoinette of when she first underwent agmentaions for the spartan 2 program. Sharing that bit of info she looked to the Brutis and Dakka.
“I think someone wants us to find them but why take them only for them to turn around and decide to get them captured?”
Elsewhere the missing spartans were hold up in an abandoned lab that was full of tech and plenty of xeno parts in special jars to keep the parts alive.
“You sure you can do this?”
“Yes we can finish what he started now that we found that new one to help us”
“And after that we just need to show those who thought we were just guards that we are stronger and that 226 is no longer in charge we are”
Brutis watches the video has he takes it all in observing the xenos parts, and the other sparten.
“Dakka do you plan on taking them alive? Because with what I’m seeing here it may already be too late.”
He turns to Antoinette “I am sorry to say Antoinette but they may already be beyond saving. Your kind, all tho enhanced are just like baby’s when it comes to the powers of chaos its icy claw may of already taken hold.” He turns to the training floor as Sgt. Juno just finished tossing one of the replacements. “Sgt. Juno could you come here please.” Juno comes over.
“Colonel?”
“Tactical assessment.” Juno watches the video
“Sir I could get in eliminate the targets, and be out before anyone knew what was going on. That is if Inquisitor Dakka approves of such a mission.”
Brutis turns back to Dakka “Balls in your court Dakka, if you wish us to capture them, then that’s what we shall do but I think we should have a back up plan in place Sgt your dismissed.”
Juno saluted and ran back to training.
Motioning for her to play it there was a ding on his data slate, “I added you to the observance if my passive operatives saw any thing. just of a few hours ago.” As he video played out his hand was raised to rest the back of his hand to his lips. But as it continued his fingers twisted into a fist as the leather creaked as it became a tight solid fist. Cold eyes were watching the video but there was still signs of anger seeping through his body. He was silent as he stared at the final frame of the video as he thought. He heard Brutis speak but even then it took him some time to formulate his anger into something comprehensible.
“As much as I wish to take them alive to find out who they been getting xeno material from… as well as seemingly deeply invasive procedures. I cannot over look there may be much more then Xenos corruption as you can clearly guessed. A need for perfection is a worrying tone they have taken. I would like to take one alive for interrogation. “ his hand finally opened as the thumb cradled his chin as he closed his eyes. Evaluating all the threats they provided if they got away he breathed out slowly. “Elimination is the best choice. And I can talk to Magos P about inspecting the bodies in depth when we collect them. Try to keep at least
Raiden’s head intact if there is no way to cripple him severely and keep him alive. I believe he would have the most information.”
When asked for a back up plan he made a face as his mind went both ways for surrendering willingly to them surviving an assassination of well placed shots. Considering that he knows his rights for taking on deathwatch members for missions is little to none if not fully revoked, his mind thinks on other not so palatable means of getting things done. His mind flickered to his Magos and his particular set of skills. Then he could talk to the black shields of Seraphina and use them long enough before that bothersome Inquisitor related to the insufferable tech priest could get involved. Or He could talk to a old friend of his as his mind drifted to the Storm warden. A storm warden, his kroot secretary, himself, and Magos P would be more then enough to catch a Spartan. “Eliminated all but Radien. I think it is time to talk to my Magos about indulging himself. And need to see if an old friend would like a challenge. If he cannot be taken then eliminate him.”
Antoinette sat back and listened. She was torn to try to save her team but after seeing that video she barley recognized them. Those things were hardly recognizable as her team. Even their armor was odd. The emblems that was now on their armor didn’t match what they were given they looked a bit warped and it left an unsettling feeling in her gut. This was just as bad as when the flood threatened to take over the universe.
As she watched the video again she still didn’t understand what made them leave without telling her.
Turning to Dakka and Brutis, Antoinette took a deep breath before She started speaking “you need to take out James First, he is the power house and the best at Hand to Hand. The next one we need to pay attention to is Alice she is the one that distracts things so Raiden can take them out from a distant. Alice is really quick and likes to hit and run. Raiden is a sharpshooter he can hit anything from any distance he has a few guns he keeps hidden on his person and believe it or not he is good with throwing weapons as well. If we take out Alice, Raiden will loose his composer, him and Alice have been a team since training”
-Beep-
Antoinette looked at her pad again as she revived another message. as she read the message a small snort escaped her before she silenced it.
Here is the tracker on the run aways :) my Inquisitor wants up dates on your plans and if you need our help. My Inquisitor is working in the area and i will be around too :)
question Is your Inquisitor single? because inquisitor-caruso really needs to get out. maybe we should set them up.

Antoinette then sent them the tracker that showed 3 targets in a low hive area.
Dakka stares at the information as it sinks in before growling lowly. As he rises he draws his web gun and a means to inject a tracker into them. “Antoinette. Meet me at the training room.” grabing his data pad, he noted out the weaknesses he knew of well as barrowing a few of Brutis’s men to boost up if there is an issue.

Antoinette then sent them the tracker that showed 3 targets in a low hive area.

Meet me at the training room.” grabing his data pad, he noted out the weaknesses he knew of well as barrowing a few of Brutis’s men to boost up if there is an issue.
Antoinette looked at her data pad that had been issued when she started working for the Inquisitor. Grabbing her helmet and other weapons Sierra 226 made her way to the trainning room to meet with Dakka. On her way there she noticed some of the men that worked under Brutis heading the same way as her.
This might be bad. What he even wanted to see her for was beyond her. Ever since her team went missing she made it her life to learn all she could about this world and made sure she knew how to survive living here.
Stepping in to the training room she walked up to the Inquisitor.
“You wanted to see me sir”
“rumors of your rogue team members.” He says with no flair. As she got closed he produced the information as he watched her expression carefully. While he knew she was loyal or at least smart enough to recognize the dangers he could not help but to note her comrades were less willing to stay around and attempt to fit in. “How willing are you to killing them if they truly have gone rogue? I hope to capture them but things dont go to plan most of the time.”
Antoinette looked at the Inquisitor “I would prefer to capture them but I will take them out if there is a reason for me to. If they truly have gone rouge and turned on me and everyone that was kind enough to take us in then they are no longer my team. From the stuff I have seen living here they might not even BE Spartans anymore.” Antoinette stated while looking a bit uneasy at possibly having to take her former team out.
Brutis walks into training room as his men snap to attention “As you were.” He heads over to where Dakka and Antoinette was standing “Dakka.” He looks at Antoinette she could see he hadn’t aged since they last saw eachother but she could see his left arm was no longer made of flesh but mechanical. “Spartan Antoinette its been some time.”
He looks to Dakka “ I can assume you know why im here, Antinette sent me a message about three of her spartans maybe have gone rouge? What Intel do we have on this?”
With a casual wave to Brutis as he entered he was hardly surprise his friend showed up. “I assumed along the right lines for your apperance Brutis.” His eyes never left the Spartan as he was continuing to watch for any indication for distrust. But none show as she was being genuine. Finally he pried his grey eyes off the meta human to look on Brutis. Reasons for her sending a message to him was a good omen.
“Not much just a location and they been acting particularly strange. I would like to know the reasoning of their actions and who they been with. However their gear appears to be in good repair with being out of contact for all this time. And naive of our customs. Someone has been taking care of them. All i have was their strange behavor. First one of them vanished with out a trace to show up and the other two vanished shortly after.”
“The first that went missing was Raiden, then he came back and seemed a bit different. The next thing i know they areall gone.” The once purple spartan stated as she started looking at the data pad she had the info on. As she looked she noticed a new message from someone she didnt reconize.“anyone know who this it from?”

You get an anonymous tip on where the missing 3 spartans are. P.S. You mighy wanna scan them

Our Juno mission has been exploring Jupiter since July 2016 with a special passenger on board: JunoCam, an instrument designed to take spectacular close-up color images of the largest planet in our solar system. From the raw images, citizen scientists have processed a range of beautiful photographs that highlight Jupiter’s features, even turning them into works of art. Below, 10 stunning images JunoCam has given us over the past year.
1. Jovian tempest.
This color-enhanced image of a massive, raging storm in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere was captured by our Juno spacecraft during its ninth close flyby on Oct. 24, 2017. The storm is rotating counter-clockwise with a wide range of cloud altitudes, and the darker clouds are expected to be deeper in the atmosphere than the brightest clouds.
2. A southern stunner.
Jupiter’s southern hemisphere shows off in beautiful detail in this image taken on Oct. 24, 2017. The color-enhanced view captures one of the white ovals in the “String of Pearls,” one of eight massive rotating storms at 40 degrees south latitude on the gas giant planet.
3. Dreaming in color.
Artist Mik Petter created this unique digital piece using data from the JunoCam. The art form, known as fractals, uses mathematical formulas to create an infinite variety of form, detail, color and light. The original JunoCam image was taken on July 10, 2017.
4. Jovian moon shadow.
Jupiter’s moon Amalthea casts a shadow on the gas giant planet in this image taken on Sept. 1, 2017. The elongated shape of the shadow is a result of both the location of the moon with relation to Jupiter in this image as well as the irregular shape of the moon itself.
5. 95 minutes over Jupiter.
Once every 53 days, Juno swings close to Jupiter, speeding over its clouds. In about two hours, the spacecraft travels from a perch over Jupiter’s north pole through its closest approach (perijove), then passes over the south pole on its way back out. This sequence shows 11 color-enhanced images from Perijove 8 (Sept. 1, 2017) with the south pole on the left (11th image in the sequence) and the north pole on the right (first image in the sequence).
6. Soaring high.
This striking image of Jupiter was taken on Sept. 1, 2017 as Juno performed its eighth flyby. The spacecraft was 4,707 miles (7,576 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet at a latitude of about -17.4 degrees. Noteworthy: “Whale’s Tail” and “Dan’s Spot.”
7. In true color.
This true-color image offers a natural color rendition of what the Great Red Spot and surrounding areas would look like to human eyes from Juno’s position. The image was taken on July 10, 2017 as the Juno spacecraft performed its seventh close flyby of Jupiter.
8. The ‘face’ of Jupiter.
JunoCam images aren’t just for art and science—sometimes they’re created for a good chuckle. This image, processed by citizen scientist Jason Major, is titled “Jovey McJupiterface.” By rotating the image 180 degrees and orienting it from south up, two white oval storms turn into eyeballs, and the “face” of Jupiter is revealed. The original image was taken by the Juno spacecraft on May 19, 2017.
9. Bands of clouds.
This enhanced-color image of Jupiter’s bands of light and dark clouds was created by citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran. Three of the white oval storms known as the “String of Pearls” are visible near the top of the image. Each of the alternating light and dark atmospheric bands in this image is wider than Earth, and each rages around Jupiter at hundreds of miles (kilometers) per hour. The lighter areas are regions where gas is rising, and the darker bands are regions where gas is sinking. Juno captured the image on May 19, 2017.
10. The edge.
This enhanced-color image of a mysterious dark spot on Jupiter seems to reveal a Jovian “galaxy” of swirling storms. Juno captured this image on Feb. 2, 2017 and citizen scientist Roman Tkachenko enhanced the color to bring out the rich detail in the storm and surrounding clouds. Just south of the dark storm is a bright, oval-shaped storm with high, bright, white clouds, reminiscent of a swirling galaxy. As a final touch, he rotated the image 90 degrees, turning the picture into a work of art.
