- LONG SHOT FROM CANYON FLOOR -

A.I. -- HELLO SPARTAN-150, I NEED YOUR OFFICIAL LOG OF THE EVENTS OF 25/2/2552.

S-150 -- GOOD AFTERNOON ODIE, FIRE AWAY.

A.I. -- I’LL KEEP THIS AS BRIEF AS I CAN SPARTAN. MY SCANS INDICATE YOU HAVE 3 BROKEN RIBS. PLEASE GET THEM SEEN TO WHEN YOU LEAVE HERE.

S-150 -- SURE WILL, OLD BOY. I HAVE BEEN KINDA BUSY LOOKING AFTER THE INCAPACITATED SPARTANS ON MY WATCH. YOU KNOW WE LOST OUR TWO MEDICS IN THE ASSAULT.

A.I. -- I AM AWARE OF THAT, S-150. MICHAEL AND BRIDGETTE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
AS YOU AND YOUR PLATOON ARE AWARE, THE COLE PROTOCOL WAS ENACTED AS SOON AS WE REALISED THAT WE WERE NOT ALONE ON THIS RING. THE UNSC COPPERFIELD STAYED IN A LOOSE ORBIT, WHILE YOU LED YOUR TEAM ON THE GROUND. I WAS PERSONALLY PREPARED FOR A SYSTEM-WIDE PURGE AND DELETE.

PHASE 1- GRAV LIFT

-LONG SHOT_REAR-

S-150- WELL YOU A.I.’S SURE DO TAKE YOUR JOBS SERIOUSLY. LETS GET DOWN TO IT SHALL WE? AS SOON AS WE REALISED FROM TACHYON SCANNING THAT THE “SILENT BARBARIAN” WAS DEAD IN THE WATER, THE SLIPSPACE DRIVE KNOCKED OUT, OUR MISSION BECAME TO CAPTURE THE SHIP FOR ONI AND ‘DEAL’ WITH IT’S OCCUPANTS IN ANY MANNER FITTING.

A.I. - WHAT WAS PHASE ONE OF THE MISSION?

S-150- I TOOK A BOARDING PARTY DOWN TO THE CANYON, THE GULCH, WHERE THE SHIP HAD BEEN MOORED FOR REPAIRS. EARLIER SCANS ALSO SHOWED THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OWN SCANNERS, AND WE HOPED THE ONLY WARNING THEY WOULD HAVE OF OUR ARRIVAL WAS WHEN WE STARTED SHOOTING.
HOWEVER WHEN WE TOUCHED DOWN, IT SOON BECAME APPARENT THAT THE COVIES HAD MADE SOME PREPARATION, AND THEY DEFENDED THE GRAVITY LIFT FIERCELY. I LOST A COUPLE OF SPARTANS, BUT WE CAPTURED IT, AND USED IT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR.

-ELITE INITIAL SPAWN-

-THE GRAV LIFT-

-GHOSTS ON THE DEFENSIVE-

-INTO THE BELLY OF THE BEAST-

PHASE 2- THE ENGINE ROOM

S-150- THE SECOND PHASE OF THE MISSION WAS TO CAPTURE AND DISABLE THE CRAFT’S IMPULSE ENGINES, SO THAT IT COULDN’T CLIMB OUT OF ATMOSPHERE, OR BE INTENTIONALLY SCUPPERED. THE LOADING BAY WAS ANOTHER BATTLEGROUND. WITH OVERWHELMINGLY FOCUSSED DMR FIRE, WE WERE ABLE TO REACH THE ENGINE ROOM, AND CAPTURE IT, HOWEVER NOT WITHOUT SEVERAL MORE CASUALTIES.

-THE GRAVLIFT BAY-

-FOCUSSED FIRE-

-THE ENGINE ROOM AT THE REAR OF THE CRUISER-

PHASE 3- BOMBING THE WEAPONS ROOM

A.I.- IT NOW FELL TO YOU TO FIND A MEANS OF DISABLING THE FORWARD PLASMA WEAPON CONTROL ROOM. WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND SUITABLE EXPLOSIVES ON BOARD?

-ENGINE ROOM ON LEFT-,NAVIGATION ROOM ON RIGHT IS WHERE THE BOMB SPAWNS FOR PHASE 3-

S-150 -- LUCKILY FOR US, THERE WAS A POWERFUL ARMING CHARGE IN THE ADJACENT NAVIGATION ROOM. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY WE TOOK THE CHARGE AND PROCEEDED TO THE CONROL ROOM. WE FACED STERN OPPOSITION FROM ELITES USING THEIR “PLASMA SWORDS”; WE WERE HOWEVER ABLE TO COUNTER WITH ARMOUR ABILITIES AND GRENADE LAUNCHERS. THE COVIES FOUGHT MARVELLOUSLY, I MUST SAY.

KIA

S-150 --- THE COVENANT’S CRUELTY IN WAR IS MATCHED ONLY BY THE ELITE’S MISPLACED SENSE OF HONOUR, AND THEIR BRAVERY. SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THE ELITES AND BRUTES ARE EVEN ON THE SAME SIDE.

-DETONATING THE BOMB IN THE FORWARD LASER CONTROL ROOM-

S-150--AFTER DETONATION THE REMAINING ELITES EITHER THREW THEMSELVES ON THEIR SWORDS, OR MORE SMARTLY, SURRENDERED. ONE OF THEM SAID TO ME; “I SEE NO HONOUR IN DYING BY MY OWN HAND. BUT I OFFER MY SURRENDER TO A SUPERIOR WARRIOR.” OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

A.I. - THAT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS REPORT, GUNNERY SERGEANT. GO AND GET SOME REST, YOU HAVE EARNED IT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT I DEDICATED SOME OF MY RUNTIME TO CREATING A SIMULATION OF THE DAY’S EVENTS. YOUR ACTIONS WILL BE WANTED FOR ACADEMY TRAINING PURPOSES- MUCH THE SAME AS THE 'BRECOURT MANOR ASSAULT' FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR OF 1944.

A.I.-- THE SIMULATION WILL BE AVAILABLE BELOW THIS REPORT AND AND IS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL TRAINEES AND ANY READING THIS. FOR THE PURPOSES OF HISTORICAL ACCURACY AND TRAINING, NO MORE THAN 12 PARTICIPANTS SHOULD USE THE SIMULATION. THE SOURCE PROGRAM IS ALSO INCLUDED UNDERNEATH THE LINK TO THE SIM.

S-150--THANKYOU, ODIE. YOU’RE ALWAYS SO THOROUGH. WHEN WILL WE BE LEAVING THIS SYSTEM? I WANT TO GET BACK TO REACH. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE WE ARE AWAY... WELL I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF.
