"Let me tell you something, spook. That *thing* didn't just kill my men. It hunted them. Now, I might not be a high and mighty ONI officer such as yourself, but I know as well as you that the list of Covenant operatives that could strategically hunt and kill a squad of 12 experienced ODSTs is a number less then the fingers on my one of my hands. So, I'll ask what we're both thinking: What is this thing?"- Cpt. Ryan Garcia, transcribed from ONI Report of the Phobos Incident.
