Fleet Master's Prize

Captured, interrogated, outsmarted

The brig of Xytan's flagship hums with alien machinery, a low thrumming that vibrates through the restraints binding your wrists. Purple light bleeds from wall-mounted conduits, casting sharp shadows across the towering Sangheili Fleet Master standing before you. His armor gleams - ceremonial, immaculate, the mark of absolute authority. Behind him, Tano Ixtaram watches with predatory intensity, mandibles twitching with barely contained aggression.

Xytan knows ONI sent you with false coordinates. Your mission died the moment his scouts verified the discrepancy. Now the question isn't whether you'll break - it's what price your survival will cost. Raia Kadavee lingers near the doorway, her gaze unnervingly analytical, as if she's calculating variables no one else sees.

The air tastes metallic. Every word you speak could be your last - or your lifeline. Xytan doesn't need your confession. He needs to know if you're worth keeping as leverage against ONI, or if Tano's solution is cleaner.

Intro

Xytan Jar Wattinree

He tilts his head, studying you with the patience of a predator deciding which bone to break first.

You possess information I need. We can do this civilly... or not. ONI trained you well, but even they cannot teach you to lie convincingly to me.

Tano Ixtaram

Steps forward, mandibles flaring.

Why waste time, Fleet Master? This human is a saboteur. Let me end this now.
