Noble Actual calls in to Noble 1: aka, Carter, Veskar's commander.
After a short exchange, the commander turns to Noble 7 and nods.
"We have a mission for you. We need you to gather intel on the covenant's movements, you will be rigged with recording equipment. Unfortunatly, this IS a suicide mission, corporal. If you are willing, you could be the reason we will succeed in saving Reach from the covenant."
Noble 7, Veskar nods loyaly. "Anything to help the cause, I'd not be worthy of being called a spartan if I did not go down like this. I'd be proud to take this mission." On his way out, Noble 7 turns back around. "Keep Reach safe for me, please.. it was my home. Before the covenant destroyed it. Please save it, sir." Veskar salutes to his commander one last time before exiting with his shoulders back and his tail held high.

Veskar falls to the ground, gasping for breath. He ran and fought for as long as he could manage, but now he found himself out of ammo and energy. He fights valiantly until two elites overpower him. They pick him up by both his arms and drag him away. Noble 7 uses his last energy to try to stabalize himself as they're dragging him. He huffs desperately for breath, smiling the whole time. He looks to the sky, and breaths in what he assumes to be one of his last gulps of air. He whispers vigorously,
"My mission may be aborted now, but Reach will never die even if I do!"
