Earth's Orbital MAC platforms are still undergoing rapid construction and augmentation. As of this moment, only six Orbital platforms are operational, with fourteen more to arrive in Earth's orbit, and ten in lunar orbit. ETA to completion is three months. Needless to say, the Covenant juggernaut will plow through us faster than they did the sailors of Reach if they were to arrive within days.

Sydney and the Admirality have finally determined the time and place for a major offensive against the Covenant Armada with its main purpose being to buy Earth the time it needs.

To give a brief overview, all commanding officers of any registered UNSC ships are to make their ships battle-ready within six days, and make ready for a slipspace journey to the edge of the Kuiper Belt. Once at the threshold, we will proceed via normal space into the Kuiper Belt, and take up assigned positions. The rendezvous is bearing 279.086 degrees, declination 15.673 degrees, and is designated rally point TANGO, because that is EXACTLY what we are going to do.

The boys down in ONI Section II are up to their necks in establishing morale and unity throughout the Inner Colonies…let's give them something gen-u-ine to talk about.

After the six days of getting your ships battle ready, there is a mandatory conference for all UNSC Commanding Officers in the Cole Memorial Conference Center, down the Maple Hall. Admiral Sir Terrence Hood and myself will elaborate on the mission even further. Just make sure your ships are battle-ready by the time we convene.

I'm sure many of you feel that leaving earth is the last thing we need to do, what with leaving the billions of civilians all vulnerable to attack...but there's only one difference with this battle, as opposed to the thousands of others we have fought; we have something the Covenant will want. And they will engage a distant UNSC contingent force to get it. And that means, ladies and gentlemen, we are sailing with marines…

More at the conference...3 days after, we start the mission.

hmm I wonder what it could be that the covenant wants
other than that OMG

[Spartan-II]

I know what they want: THEY WANT OUR BOOTY THOSE SCURVY CURS!!
Ok, now to be serious. Maybe they want HUMANITY DEAD?
But seriously what is it they want?

[Calibur]

I know what they want: THEY WANT OUR BOOTY THOSE SCURVY CURS!!
They want our Booty Lol..I know thats pirate slang for treasure but still Lol.

Anyways well it's probably a given that they want humanity dead but why go after the fleet in particular.

[Spartan-II]

Because maybe the fleet has the power to take out their warships so they want minimal losses?And yes they want our Booty ^^

[Calibur]

Hmm if the fleet had the power to take out their forces then would the humans wait with it on earth so they could fight the covenant full force. The fleet is really more of a distration to buy time but they probably have some sort of device that the covenant wants or maybe the captured a covenant leader.

[Spartan-II]

Or maybe they have the coordinates of the covenant homeworld and want it destroyed..

[Battlecruiser]

Where was this found?

[Forerunner]

Oh! Is this like the cortana letters? Where did you find it? Anywho, maybe one of the ships has a forerunner artifact. Covenant have raided human worlds for those in the past :D

/start file/


Total vessels: 72 confirmed ready for deployment
Total naval personnel: 14,627
Total marines: 10,000

The number of operational orbital platforms is now up to 13. However, seven of those have yet to receive the necessary augmentations, including more efficient electro-magnetic coils for quick charge-and-fire. Our current coils allow the cannons to only fire at intervals of 10 seconds, still leaving the groundside generators quite vulnerable to attack. Time is of the essence.

All UNSC personnel must make final checks at their stations, and prepare for immediate slipspace transit.

We will bring our ships to bearing 279.086, declination 15.673 degrees, and then engage a simultaneous slipspace jump to Waypoint 1A on that bearing. From Waypoint 1A comes the treacherous trip via normal space to rally point TANGO which will be performed by shipboard A.I.s so as to minimize debris damage.

All commanding officers must oversee the enactment of the Cole Protocol to safeguard other Inner Colonies. Failure to adhere will result in capital punishment. A.I.s must also safeguard their memory matrices, and delete data valuable to the Covenant.

Godspeed Admiral Jonas Gibson

Well look at this pathetic wax museum. Here I am, wide awake at 0200 hours on a lovely day in the distant reaches of our solar system…and you are all in bed, barely alive, still sucking on your pacifiers. Well I am here to tell you to get your rear ends out of bed, OR YOUR NEW ALARM CLOCK IS GONNA HAVE A CALIBER!

Word came from the leatherneck brass that we're to begin patrols onboard all vessels at 0300. Ther's a lot of stations onboard this ship that need to be guarded like hell. Now this mission came with the risk of the boarding action, but assuming you load your rifles with 7.62mm rounds, and not colorful foam missiles, we should repel any Covies that try and make their way in.

Report to any ship terminal by 0300 hours for patrol orders, for that's how I'll be communicating with you from now on…anyone who doesn't show up by that time will be swabbin the deck in front of the naval officers. Love and kisses, sweethearts.

Classification: SECRET (BGX Directive)

/start file/

Congratulations to all of you for navigating the Kuiper Belt's treacherous and icy debris with great precision. With the exception of some minimal scrapes and scars to the destroyer, Trident, all ships have reported making it to rally point TANGO fully intact. Never before has this large a UNSC fleet en-massed within such a hazardous debris field; not even within earth's local asteroid belt.

Let's review what was discussed at the briefing. For the sake of the Orbital Platforms, we have erected a killzone for the Covenant's expeditionary navy to buy earth the time it needs to get the Super MACs online and fully operational. That complemented with the groundside Global Guard trying to get the generators' defenses online, is why we are here. Those cannons are unreliable, faulty, and more outdated than the ones at Reach, so if the Covenant come to earth, we will get walked over. However, for the first time in the history of the UNSC, we have the advantage.

Operation LIQUID PHALANX centers around the A.I. onboard this command ship. He has yet to fully integrate with the numerous sensors erected within the killzone's debris by the stealth ships that were here weeks prior, but he will have by the time the mission begins. The sensors allow for the A.I. to see beyond the debris, make trillions of combat calculations in a short period of time, and link together…well there's a reason this killzone has been dubbed the INFERNO.

You've all been briefed on what this A.I. is capable of, so I won't go into the details. Besides, ONI would have my head on a silver platter if I talked too much. Just be ready to accept the primary encrypted command when I give the word to 'ignite the fuel'.

All ships have been transmitted their coordinates for station keeping within the debris zone. They are sporadic coordinates within the INFERNO, where all ships appear to be operating relatively alone. It is not customary for us to break the conservative wolf-pack formations we have battled Covenant ships with for years, but I promise you, Virgil is the entity that will link all ships together.

Mission begins in 9 hours at 1130 synchronized time. Conduct simulated firing tests for all your weapons, and calibrate your systems as necessary.

I have also read your private transmissions, and I insist that you spare no doubt on the effectiveness of the bait. Just remember the will of their gods is the reason they started this damn war.

/start message/

You got to the terminal ten seconds before 0300 hours. That somehow means you're one of the punctual few.

Well marine, it doesn't get more basic than basic itself. You're assigned to guarding the main entrance to the fusion core, 200 meters aft of this very terminal. I know it's a backwater shift for someone who wants to be at the forefront of the fighting…and I know you want to…but it's also one of the most important posts.

Link up with the other 3 platoons of marines, including one platoon from the 105th, that are stationed near the generator. But get your gear before you move out. Since the area near the entrance is narrow as hell, your weps locker has been stocked with an M90 Shotgun, and your standard M6D for possible close-quarters combat. You'll also have enough ammo to bring down an elephant…twice.

Keep in mind that in several hours, the big black is going to get awfully hot, and we're the last line of defense. How's that for empowering?

Alright…stop standing there, thinking about what a beautiful man I am! We got a war to win, soldier! Haul out!

As of 1130 hours, standard earth time, all UNSC vessels are ordered to maximum alert. Override the safeties for the Archer missile pods, charge the magnetic coils, and arm nuclear weapons via onboard-encrypted codes.

All Marathon class cruisers are ordered to open private channel 1A to receive codes to prime NOVA nuclear warheads.

Long-range scan picked up a crescent formation of five CCS battle cruisers operating at the barrier of the Kuiper Belt. No doubt they have received the bait.

When the first Covenant vessel is in clear range of sensors, all commanders are ordered to accept the encrypted code KING MINOS WELCOMES YOU, which will allow all shipboard A.I.s to work with Virgil.

This is it people. Spare your adrenaline for the party we're having afterwards. Good luck.

Subject: UNLEASHING HELL

/start file/

After doing 163,422 theoretical tests of linking together all aspects of Operation: LIQUID PHALANX, I knew my first attempt at the actual system link was going to be a success, given the other 163,422 tests performed without so much as a logarithmic glitch.

I have established encrypted links with the sensors installed throughout the Kuiper Belt debris, and have begun feeding the fleet's A.I.s with optimized tactics and strategy based on the data. It's only a slight burden for me to monitor ship velocities, record MAC charges, tally fleet munitions, receive and analyze data from shipboard A.I.s, scramble remote linked Longswords, listen in on private Covenant channels, analyze enemy ships' tactics, send optimized firing solutions to every weapons system in the fleet, and monitor the vital systems onboard the Reclaimer…don't worry, I still have time to read. A few words to keep your spirits up, Admiral:

…So stand
And overcome your panting-with the soul,
Which wins all battles if it does not despond
Under its heavy body's weight.

-Canto XXIV (52-55)

Sure I didn't write it, but I take credit for saying it.

Sorry Admiral, but as per the Admirality council's instructions, it's time to pass on the reigns of tactical command. As of 1240 hours standard military time, I am assuming command of the operations within the INFERNO at the naval rank equivalent of Vice Admiral. Priority Alpha Command: crack Covenant systems for information on lost operative. Priority Beta Command: destroy or disable the Covenant fleet.

Ah…thermal/electromagnetic signatures on sensor 54 indicate a lone Covenant destroyer. Relaying coordinates to nearest UNSC vessel and Longsword contingents with optimized firing solution and waypoints for nuclear missiles. Sending orders to ship commanders for passive launch, then I can steer the weapons via sideboard thrusters. Once within 25,000 km, weapons will go hot and incinerate the target. After that, I will pass on orders to the vessel to relocate for another strike.

Admiral…I feel guilty turning you, one of Cole's best commanders and a hero in the Harvest campaign, into an advisor…and spectator. I will provide you with only priority alpha and priority beta updates as per your request.

Ciao.
