[Naked Crook]

Burke could hear Harrison's order to fire over the fleet chatter. Burke simply looked at his weapon's officer, and gave a nod. Burke: You heard the Admiral...lock on our designated targets, and fire at will. Load all Shiva tactical warheads, and commence fire. We have to get the shields down on the larger ships if we have any chance of getting our boys inside. Burke paused for a moment, as he considered possible counter attacks from The Covenant. Burke: Keep a sensor lock on the smaller Covenant ship. If the smaller support crafts attempt to move into offensive position, open up with our Archer pods and our deck guns, but do not hit any of the smaller ships with our MAC just yet. Tactical Officer; Aye sir...firing the MAC in 3...2...1... The King Raven fired off 2 shots from it's MAC, both shots scording a direct hit on the forward shields of one of the larger Assault Carriers which was being targeted for boarding action. Tactical officer: Two direct hits sir. Enemy shields are holding. Commencing Shiva salvo. The King Raven began to fire off a barage of Shiva missiles at the same Assault Carrier they managed to hit. Most of the missiles made it through the point defenses of the Covenant fleet, and managed to impact the shields. Tactical Officer: Enemy shields are fluctuating sir. If we can keep this up, we should be able to break through the shields of Assault Carrier 3. Burke: Start to cycle our weapons. Fire at first availability.
