Jacul v Olabisi

Jacul was minding his business at his station - present in the event that a crisis struck, but relaxed in the knowledge that the areas so deep in Swords of Sanghelios territory usually saw no dire action. Still, he kept himself alert, in the event that someone coming by decided to scold him.

As he stood as a pseudo-guard, his eyes latched on to a new and approaching figure. Unique to most others Jacul would expect to see, this person was female. Behind her, a few other women with more standard armor in comparison to her striking set marched behind her. He at first thought to compare them to personal guards, then realized that was exactly what they were. A warrior female entourage. And they were headed for the command center, where the Arbiter was currently present.

That was not his station, though, so Jacul stayed where he was. If they were intruding, then the guards over there would intercept them. But seeing as Jacul noticed no commotion, it was a good bet that these women were expected visitors.

A little bit later, when he had time to socialize with his fellows, Jacul would hear the name of these visitors - High Kaidon Olabisi 'Varo'dai and her Varo Rangers. Even before now, he had heard whispers regarding them, so suddenly everything clicked into place and he wondered why he never thought of it before. The High Kaidon of Om'a'Varo was infamous - as any distinguished warrior female leader would be, in a culture where for millennium men dominated the battlefield and leadership. She also had ties to the Arbiter, due to him helping her people from their former, now-inhospitable world found a new colony.

While it was curious as to why she was visiting then, it was easy to come to a logical conclusion. Those that the Arbiter aided usually had a strong loyalty towards him, offering support in any way they could. The Varo Rangers had made a name for themselves, so it was likely their services would be intertwining with the Swords of Sanghelios soon. They would not be the first female service members, as the Arbiter made the bold declaration to challenge old traditions he claimed were holding the Sangheili back.

Perhaps I should pay close attention to them. With my brother retreating into a bubble of close-minded fools, he'll need to hear a few stories of our progress. They might just give him something to think about.
