Where you see a surprisingly high-quality shot of Karn, Ubo, his daugher Okira, and a man wearing a ragged blue skinsuit with the shreds of a cape on his back all inside a sphere of his emerald energy.
“Impossible.” you say as your jaw drops in shock. But as he shows other images of the battle, ending with a video of Chaya of all people giving an interview on the planet. Because of course she was. “But...how? How in the hell did Karn find him? I went through that place ”
“From what my spy gathered, Karn didn't actually make contact with him there.” Khor says, sweeping through other pictures until it goes to a certain clip of Chaya's talk with the reporter. One where Karn and his daughter Caulifla are in the background. “He was there for a different reason.”
“I dunno kiddo. Ubo an' I just came out here so I could introduce him to his fellow Kryptonian.” you hear Karn faintly say, your brow raising in surprise as the last Arbiter of the former Covenant stops the recording again.
“There's another. And on the same planet that that bastard Nabu lives on.” you say in awe, raising your gaze to the Sangheili's own. “And if there are two Kryptonians, then there are no doubt more.”
“Indeed. But what's more important is what we have discovered since.” Khor adds, changing the display once more. This time to the view of the planet from space, a giant satellite that clearly isn't organic orbiting the planet. “Our stealth tech got by their observation platform on the way in, but these beings already have technology more advanced than spaceflight.”
Once again the camera view changes, this time catching a recording of that same blue and red suited man simply APPEARING somewhere, along with the golden helmet's newest body puppet, a woman wearing red, white, gold and blue, another woman in the Kryptonian's same blue and red colors but a more feminine design, and a man in all black and dark greys. And, for just a moment, he stares directly into the camera before drawing something from his belt and throwing it, the feed cutting out.
“This was the last transmission we received.” Khor finishes with a sigh, leaving the display on that view of the group. “Unfortunately for us, it seems that this Nabu has a Kryptonian bodyguard on his home world.”
“Thank you for the information. Continue monitoring the system to ensure he does not flee, but do not send anyone else down. Your people shouldn't take any more losses here.”
