TO ALL TERMINALS

We are entering combat with a single Covenant frigate leaving orbit of the only major world in this system. We are outmatched, but Captain Mathers has a plan with a high probability of success.

All personnel are to man their battle stations. Be prepared for sudden manoeuvering with little or no warning. The smoking lamp is out. Make final equipment checks to ensure that all moveable objects are dogged down.

The Captain wishes us all good luck and good hunting.
