The Fall of Reach - Part 3 - BLACKHAT

 

 

  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

 

"Slipspace Rupture Detected"

August 17th, 2552

Gentlemen, I won't lie. The situation is beyond what could be considered precarious. I know there's been a lot of rumors lately, allow me to dispel what I can. Here's where we stand.

Five days ago the UNSC Grafton was lost in Viery Territory following our assault against the Covenant staging post. The Supercarrier that killed the Grafton was destroyed by a Sierra III team in orbit, but it cost us the UNSC Savannah. Sadly, this was not the victory we had hoped. I can confirm that Reach is currently under assault by a much larger Covenant fleet. Two days ago we lost Sword Base, and yesterday we officially abandoned Viery Territory. Our supply lines are fractured and currently reinforcements are blocked. There are major skirmishes taking place on the edge of the system, and we've had word that the Second and Seventh fleets are inbound to form a major battlegroup to try and break the blockade.
But, until they break through, we're on our own.

Our mission now has changed to defence. We have to secure defensive positions; evacuate what personnel and civilians we can and lock down any security breaches the covenant may exploit. That brings us to today's operation. Two SDV class Corvettes are currently besieging New Nassau. We need to try and break the siege long enough to evacuate some supplies and munitions from the city. But first, there's a more pressing matter.
Marmoset Theoretical were conducting slipspace experimentation and research for the UEG near New Nassau. Their Gamma Station facility was recently attacked by a Covenant raiding party. As far as we are aware; they have lost control of the facility entirely. Within, there was a slipspace data engine which was disconnected from the main network. SIGINT and AI research indicates that it is still active; complete with a full navigational data vault. We can't allow this data to fall into enemy hands.

We're deploying your platoon via Pelicans as close as we can get them. Break through Highway 15 and force your way into the base. Once inside, find and wipe the drive. Then you can push into New Nassau to secure the munitions depots. We'll extract what supplies we can and try to set up a new defensive stronghold.

Good luck Marines.
