GAO, CORDOBA SYSTEM

23rd SECURITY BRIGADE, VII CORDOBA ARMY COMMAND

 ++MISSION BRIEFING++

"You had the chance to be afraid before you joined my beloved corps!" - Sergeant Major Avery Jonhnson

Mission Summary:

The 23rd were deployed to the Central Zone of Gao following increased Insurrectionist activity 2 years ago. It's been a campaign of guerrilla warfare and some pitched battles but we've managed to secure  Green Zones that are relatively safe around the major population centres and military installations. 4 days ago, that all came to nothing as a Covenant splinter fleet appeared in the system. They wiped out the picket ships and eradicated the small defence installations orbiting the planet. Boarding parties assaulted the Orbital Elevator; and the 17th have been fighting non-stop for 4 days to try and keep control of it. They're on the verge of losing the orbital installation and reinforcements are spread thin. Yesterday the Covvies started making landfall across the planet; but there's been no concentrated thrust towards any one area as of yet. Command are reluctant to deploy away from the civilians; and we've been busy marshalling people towards evacuation zones.

At 21:00 local time, the forward elements of VI Fleet Group are estimated to arrive in system. It won't be much, 2 squadrons of Frigates, but it should be enough to make an opening to allow for some ODSTs to deploy and reinforce key areas. The rest of the fleet is a day behind, and once they arrive we should be set to launch some major counter attacks.
Until that time, your Company is ordered to hold downtown - specifically the CMA/ONI building. Most of the key personnel have been evacuated to blast shelters already; but the AI which are shredding data need more time to complete their work and safeguard other worlds. We've also learned that there's a Slipspace testing site at the shipbreaking yards which may not have wiped all navigation data from their data centre. As soon as possible, you need to break through the hostile lines and enact the Cole Protocol with this data. The Covenant cannot be allowed to find our other colonies; or even Earth; God forbid.
