The hangar was abuzz as it was being used as a staging area for the rangers. Special Operations Officer Stel 'Vadamee warbled annoyedly as he tried to get into the ranger assault harness. Although similar to the combat harness he was used to, he still was having difficulty, so he approached a Sangheili who was directing a group of Unggoy nearby and asked, “Excuse me, can you help me get my harness on?” The Sangheili turned around, surprising Stel as he realized she was female.

“First day on the job?” she asked wryly with a smirk. “Big bad SO Officer can't get in his harness? Come on, I'll get you suited up.”

“So when they start letting females in the military?” Stel asked as she helped him put on his armor.

“Since we started fighting the humans,” the female replied. “Someone realized we girls can fight just as hard as you boys can. There,” she commented, plopping Stel's helmet on his head. “Make sure it's sealed tight now. Wouldn't want that slow leak in your head to get any larger.”

“Who are you?” Stel inquired, more annoyed now at her attitude.

“Special Operations Officer Ke'la Vadumee,” she replied.

“And do you know who I am?” Stel asked.

“No.”

“I am Special Operations Officer Stel 'Vadamee, the brother of Fleet Master Thel 'Vadamee.”

“Good for you,” Ke'la replied, patting Stel on the head. “I hope you can fight though, because your brother isn't gonna bail you out. He's gone off to the Sacred Ring.”

“Don't worry,” stel growled, “I can fight.”

“Good, do try and keep up.”
