Zahr'kagar grinded his teeth together, relizing that he had infact been placed into a reversed situation, "Touché..." He quickly glanced at his holopanel and immediately began to operate it, "I suppose I shall send one of my ships to fetch us a very unlucky crew," he stated, still fumbling with his holopanel, "Now if you excuse me, I shall do just that." The Jackal had then opened another COM channel, directed to one of his frigates, "Ship Master!" he demanded into the COM, "I have a task for you..."

"You disgrace me, you vile construct," began the cracking voice of Fu'yadar, "Stripping me of duty as-" but he was cut off. "That, is enough!" spoke Zefuse, as the AI appeared on the holopanel, "You disgrace me!" The dark silhouette of the AI, crossing it's arms across it's chest, "It was apparent to you that our engines were damaged, yet you failed to act accordingly; therefor, for the safety of the mission and to your crew, I took command." The Kig-yar glared grimly at the construct, and clenched his fists, cursing under his breath, "The engines were still in working condition, and I planned on landing on the nearest planet... rather than picking a random location that does- not- exist!" Zefuse stared in silence for a moment, eyeing Fu'yadar until it felt to speak, "I see that you are a very uninformed Ship Master."
"What do you mean, 'uninformed'?"
"What do you think I mean? As you clearly stated, 'I planned on landing on the nearest planet... rather than picking a random location that does- not- exist. Proving to me that you have no clue as to the planets of the X star system."
"Of course I do! There are only 24 planets, and most of which uninhabitable... it's common knowledge."
"Exactly..."
"What?"
"It's common knowledge- common."
"Are you contradicting yourself? You really must be rampant."
"I really find that term offensive... and no, I'm not contradicting myself. I thought, that being a ship master, you would know that not all of the Covenant knowledge is recorded in literature, or shared with the public at all."
"As it is with any government system..."
"Exactly... only members of the naval intelligence and high ranking officers are allowed access to
certain information."
"Then why wouldn't I-"
"Be informed of the additional planets of the X star system, as well as many other systems? Simple... you're a Kig-yar, and unfortunately, the Jiralhanae do not trust your race as much as it thinks."
Fu'yadar stared, dumbfounded, and unable to speak, he could not respond in any way, all he could do, was listen to the AI. "Being that I am literally a part of the Covenant naval intelligence, I know everything about the every galaxy, every planet, species, race, etceteras, etceteras. I'd suggest you stay quiet, as I commandeer this vessel, because I apparently know what I am doing, as you do not."
"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just... do things." - The Joker
