Harrison watched as the five ships moved into position near the back end of the Covenant fleet. Behind him, the three super cruisers were too busy dealing with on board attacks to even notice the fleets positioning.
Murphy: Admiral. We've lost four more ships, they're regaining strength and it is taking us much longer to take down their shields.
Harrison nodded.
Harrison: Fire the MAC cannon, coordinate fire with the rest of the battle rgoup. Bring down the two closest cruisers, that should give us enough room to regroup with the rest of the fleet.
Murphy nodded as the bridge crew began to coordinate with the rest of the battle group. Archer missiles were armed, and everyone's MAC cannon was charged.
Harrison: Fire.
The five ships simultaneously fired their MAC cannons at the two closest Covenant cruisers. The combined fire from almost three MAC shots to each ship was enough to drain their shield and cause external damage to the hulls of the ship, leaving the Covenant cruisers defenseless. Moments later, each ship fired off a barrage of archer missiles, the missiles impacted the hull of each cruiser and began to slowly tear the ship apart.
Harrison: Rotate archer missiles pods...cycle firing with the other ships. Bring all point defense cannons online to protect the Mind's Attrition and King Raven.
Murphy: Aye, aye, Admiral!
Harrison pressed a button on his holotable.
Harrison: All ships, full speed.
Moments later, each ship in the battlegroup began to move through the Covenant armada in front of them.
VI: Admiral, three ships on our tail...they have a weapons lock.
Harrison looked at the holotable to see three Covenant corvettes moving in on the backside of the battle group. Seconds later, he saw the Saint's Society break off from formation and move to cover the back of Harrison's own ship. The distance between them grew as the Corvette's slowly stopped and locked weapons on the Saint's Society. The Saint's Society moved into weapons range and began to fire it's archer missiles.
Harrison leaned forward as he watched the Covenant corvettes fire their plasma torpedoes, moments before they hit a transmission was received from the Saint's Society. The Saint's Society was no smack in the middle of the three Corvettes.
Captain: This is Captain Peter Nash of the Saint's Society. Good luck out there boys. We'll see on the other side.
Harrison smiled, he knew Peter from a few years ago. He was an excellent sailor, a great tactician and a loving father an husband. He knew his letter would be one of the hardest to write.
Harrison watched the holotable and then heard one of his officers yell.
Officer: Admiral, Captain Nash ordered all Shiva weapons on board the Saint's Society to be armed before they moved in.
Harrison grinned. Nash was always a son of a bitch.
As soon as the plasma torpedos hit the hull of the Saint's Society, a large explosive was activated in the middle of it, destroying the ship and sending out the nine other shiva nuclear weapons in the middle of the Corvette's line. One by one the nukes began to go off, engulfing the Corvettes.
Harrison: Push the throttle!
VI: Sir, incoming transmission from Fireteam Harmony.
Harrison nodded.
Arman: "Admiral Harrison, this is Fireteam Harmony from the Mind's Attrition. We have successfully took over the bridge. What would you like us to do with it?"
Harrison smiled, one team managed to take the bridge.
Harrison: Fireteam Harmony...I need you to recall a good percentage of that fleet and have them move to your position. Ask for reinforcements and they will surely come knocking.
Harrison paused.
Harrison You should be able to activate a self-destruct sequence on board the bridge...do it as soon as other ships are in range and then jump ship. Understood?
