The Covenant ships remained locked onto their Imperial counterparts, waiting until they literally couldn't target them anymore due to Hyperspace before turning away. They kept their sensors active, however, well aware that the Empire was known for its trickery...
Jul 'Mdama, via hologram, and the Ship Master, as well as the silent but attentive Parg Vol, stood on the Supercarrier's bridge and examined their find, which floated in a small anti-gravity field projector. "I believe it is a blueprint of some kind," the Ship Master explained. "One of the data discs the Alliance humans are so fond of. However, this one is in incredibly good condition, moreso than any that have been found before." Jul leaned forward, clearly interested. "We must open it, unravel the secrets within," he growled. The Ship Master nodded in agreement. "Of course, Jul 'Mdama. However, there is one problem..." Jul narrowed his reptilian eyes, and the Ship Master hastily continued. "You see, we simply do not have the ability to decode this disc ourselves. All technology for that purpose was destroyed or lost after the war with the Empire. Fortunately, there is another option." A few taps on a console, and another hologram appeared, this one of the space station orbiting the planet. "This... corporation," the Ship Master said, obviously disgusted, "is our best option. They will have the facilities we need, I am sure of it." Jul nodded in agreement. "Then you will take the station by force and use it for our goals. But what of the Arachnids? Have they been dealt with." The Ship Master slowly shook his head. "No, unfortunately. The guardians of the buried temple hampered our goals, and we are not sure if there are more near where the Arachnids have gone to ground. But I assure you, we will find them soon." Jul straightened, and pointed a finger at the other Sangheili. "I expect these two goals to be accomplished, Ship Master. Do not fail me." The Ship Master simply knelt before the hologram, and moments later it disappeared. The Sangheili had his orders, and he was expected to follow through.
