"Infinity cannot handle that kind of Punctuate, not again." The Captain said. 

"This isnt about the ship anymore." Cortana said calmly, 727 smirked from a nearby ledge sharpening his blade. 

"Sir, we've seen what the Diadact can do, if we let him leave this planet, humanity will be at risk." The Chief said calmly, but in a urgent tone. 

"Look, I understand what you think you saw." The captain began. 

"Oh shut the fuck up! You still have some heated blood in you." 727 groaned. 

"Excuse me commander? Are you challenging my right to lead?" the captain had the nerve to challenge.

"Sir, with all due respect, we know what we saw." the Chief interrupted, trying to defuse 727. 

"And with all due respect I will not jeopardize my ship because of a aging spartan and a flimsy A.I." The captain said,  the sharpening stopped. 

"Im just as old as the Chief, and my A.I saw the whole thing, recorded it too, admit it, you're scared that your wrong. You never have been a fighter." 727 laughed from his spot.The Crew became mighty silent, like someone had muted them.

" Sir.... but what if he's right?" Lasky proposed. The Captain looked awestruck. 

"Nav. As soon as we know were airtight set a course for Caranay station, Comms. Prepare a warning beacon." The Captain said, 727 stood up but Cortana beat him too it, a huge pulse limiting from her and knocking almost everything offline. 

"I didnt mean to do that, I didnt mean to." Cortana said sounding terrified. 

"Commander, presume to article 55 of UNSC regulations 12 14572, I am ordering you to remove that A.I's data chip and retire it for final dispensation." The Captain said, Lasky moved forward to grab it but the chief grabbed it, and 727 stepped between the captain and the Chief. "Give me that chip!" the captain demanded.

 "No sir." the Chief said. 

"Arrest that man!" The Captain said. 

"Halt! Under Article 55 of UNSC regulations 13 15364, You will not touch that A.I. !" 727 growled, his voice filled with hate towards this man who abused every loophole to get his way. 

"What A.I. is she connected too?" The captain growled. 

"MINE!" 727 yelled back stepping forward and making the captain take a step back, the sound of rifles being pulled up filled the room. "Chief, get out of here, I can take care of this." 727 said, the chief walked out of the room leaving 727, and the Captain squaring off. 

"Remove this mans data chip, as he is obviously a traitor." The captain said, 727 took off his helmet and set it down, then headbutted the captain, breaking his nose. 727 then dodged a bullet coming for him and pulled the captain close, holding his Magnum to his head. 

"I've been doing this shit for years, I have every admiral backing me, so as soon as we get back to Earth, you are going to rot in jail." 727 said tossing the captain aside and putting on his helmet. 

"I also declare you unfit to lead, as a UNSC, Black Ops Commander." 727 said stepping out the door. 

"What are you waiting for! Arrest him!" Mark heard the Captain yell from behind him.

"That was dumb Mark." The Chief said as 727 walked up to him and leaned on the rail. 

"If they shot me then they would regret it, now, how are we going to get to the Diadact?" Ghost asked glancing to the Chief.
