"Well... there doesn't seem to be alot of info on this thing. Most of what it's got is inf oyou already told me. It's a weapon being built by the Reapers. It's supposed to kill off that weird fungus that was found on the planet we left earlier. And apparently the reapers had used it before. Beyond that there's not much else here."Leretia asked.

"You must stop it. Destroy the machine."

"H-How? I don't know where it is, how it functions, hwo to destroy it, I don't anything about it! Plus it's being built by the Reapers you don't know hard to destroy until you've seen a single capital ship survive consecutive blasts from four dreadnaught class ships, and almost immediately destroy them all at once with a few beams!"Leretia said. "How the hell would I destroy that?!"Leretia asked.

"This ship you are on. It will be allowed to get near. Destroy the ship. Dock and blast your ship tearing the great galactic weapon to pieces." The voice was a bit more demanding then usual.

"-I don't know if that'll work. I mean, like I said a Reaper survived four fire from for dreadnaught class ships. I don't know if this ship can muster up enough power to do anything to the weapon. Plus this kind of ship can;t just be piloted by one person. It needs co-pilots, navigators, engineers, and I need to know where this weapon even is to consider doing anything to it..."Leretia said.

"Listen and learn. Search for how to do it. Get us there and I will ensure the weapons destruction. The galaxy will be saved." The voice soon leaves her mind and not returning letting her thoughts return to normal.

Leretia blinked before holding her knees against her chest. She wasn't a spy. She had no idea how to get this information with out listening in on something or just straight up asking about it. She certainly wasn't very manipulative. If she was going to get anything done she'd need help.

Back on the citadel at the same time those events where happening Flare and Ovira entered some form of interrogation room. "Why are we in this room? Is it for the means of me explaining my creators?" Flare asks standing above a chair looking around.

"Yes. Unfortunately, I was unable to acquire a more relaxing environment for this conversation."Ovira said with a sigh. "So, first off, who and what were your creators?"Ovira asked.

"Well this seems like an effective use and decent protocol." He says about the situation. "My creators where the forerunners. A great and powerful race."

"What were some of their accomplishments, aside from you and the Halos that you have mentioned several times before?"Ovira asked.

"The forerunners reached and created technology that even your reapers could not imagine. Where their military was enough to win the war with the precursors they were the mightiest race in the galaxy. Civilian life was brought to ease. Medicine was at it's best and so was efficiency for food and culture." Flare explains.

"Interesting."Ovira said. "By chance do you hold any information on tech that might aid the Reapers?"Ovira asked.

"Why no. Our technology is incompatible. I could configure myself to work wit it but other tech would take a long time. Plus I do no have any on me. Our technology is in our universe. All we have here is my old shell."

"Well, that's a shame."Ovira responded. "Is there anything that you think might help the Reapers optimize their weapon?"Ovira asked.

"Well most definitely I could. But I would never be allowed access to their systems. But without certain materials and exact drones to build the parts I will be unable to do anything."

"Well, I can understand the issues with gaining access to the necessary systems."Ovira said.

"My ability to assist there is minimal at best."

"Well, that's unfortunate."Ovira said. "Now, is there anything you could tell me baout the fungus, the Flood, that hasn't already been shared?"Ovira asked. "Perhaps a weakness of some kind? Or maybe a method to kill their 'troops' easier with less cost to our own soldiers?"She added.

"A weakness? To the flood?" Flare chuckles. "You greatly underestimate them. The flood is impossible to simply find a weakness and kill. They are constantly evolving. You cannot defeat them without casualties." He let's the information slowly set in. "The reapers have no idea at what they face. They will only move into using weapons and tactics we already tried. The flood gene sequence cannot be targeted. It evolves rapidly and constantly."
