Halo: ONI Section III Blacklist

Knight looked up at the steel support beams above him that rattled with the force of the MAC blasts being fired.
"Avalon, who authorised those MACs?" Knight demanded as he rushed out the lab and onto the bridge to witness the two Battle Cruisers float helplessly in the space that surrounded them. Avalon appeared on the bridge in full size.
"Sir, the Col-" Avalon began to answer but Knight looked sharply at Avalon who stopped his explanation. Knight then turned back to the inferno with a confused gaze. A single MAC would have done that sort of damage if the shielding was engaged, nor are they in glassing position, so why were the shields deactive?
"Avalon, what's going on here?" Knight asked, hi voice reared with anger.

"Upon coming out of slipspace, these cruisers were detected, however, while I could detect lifeforms on board, the entire vessels systems were off line, a distress call was transmitted to us but the Colonel ordered their destruction." Avalon explained.

"So in short, we murdered a few thousand?" Knight sighed but then his interest perked up. "But what caused their entire ship to be knocked out without any external damage."

The entire ship shook as two MAC shots were fired at the Battle cruisers. The two balistic shots glided towards their intended targets which oddly offered no resistance. As the shots impacted the hulls, fiery flames erupted from them, indicating that they hadn't had their shields active.

My bad. It might be helpful to allow us to know a bit of the plot before hand in the OOC on future occasions so this doesn't happen again, especially since my character is technically going to be running everything.

EDIT:

We could always have the mysterious enemy fleet leaving right as we arrive with us picking off the covenant stragglers?

@Izaka Sazaka

Not to worry, have MAC shots fired as the CSS shields won't be up.

@Legion-114

I sort of took control of describing the space battle, hope you don't mind?

@Izaka Sazaka

The point was to discover that the Covenant fleet had actually already been disabled by an external force.

Horizon Orbit

The twelve hours passed very quickly on board the Blade's Edge. The ship tore itself from slipspace and below them was Horizon, glimmering in the gaze of the twin binary stars. However the beauty of the image couldn't be savoured as alarms began to sound and red emergency lights began to flash. Avalon bgan to broadcast across all stations.

"Attention all crew, prepare for battle stations, several Covenant CSS battle cruisers have been detected. Report to team leaders for further orders."

Avalon nodded back at Angel and although it couldn't be seen through his blank, hollow face, he was probably smiling.
Knight, dismissing the rest of Fireteam Quantum mentioned to Avalon, and the rest of the crew that he would be making his way to the research lab. The doors whipped open and Knight departed.

Traveling through the metallic corridor, Knight's immediate destination was the inboard monorail that would take him to the lab on the bottom deck.

As the doors of the lab opened, an entirely new world of chaos was awaiting inside. Knight carefully sidestepped down a few steps and examined the mess of tools and devices, of who's origin were yet to be determined.

"ADAM?!" William called out, taking his helmet off in the process and placing it down of a table which only had a small free space on it.
There was a ruffle of papers followed by a quite, insecure voice that had been caught off guard.

"Ah, there you are brother! Come, come. Take a look at this!" Adam called out, straightening his glasses and lab coat.
Reluctantly, William moved up towards the small office in which his brother, who was no doubly sleeping from a long, overnight shift.
"Here, take a look at this!" Adam cried out again, pointing towards an odd object that slept on Adam's desk.

William looked down at the object, clearly it was of Forerunner in nature, William couldn't saw much more than that.
"What is it?" He asked, almost scarred to what the answer may result in.

"It's a key of some kind!" Adam replied eccentrically, waving his arms rampantly. "Sparkly was able to repair it!"
William place a hand on his face.
"You need to get out more, Adam." William remarked, but his attention more focused at searching the ceiling above. "Sparky, you can come down from there." William called out.

At first, it would have seemed that William was just calling out into thin air, but after a second or so there was a low, extended cooing sound followed by soft crackling sounds.

After a moment a Huragok descended and floated towards William, tentacles waving in excitement. William patted it on the head with a smile.
"How you been, Sparky?"

@Izaka Sazaka

I'd like everyone to at least post once before skipping so everyone knows what's going on.

Knight looked over the Corporal folding his arms in a some what unprepared way. He had his mind so focused on the future events he hadn't considered the present.

"I suppose you should take this as some recreational time, but don't get too excited, I want everyone ready for immediate combat deployment. "
