 ++MISSION BRIEFING++

“Die? Don’t you know? Spartans Never Die.” - Lieutenant Commander Kurt-051

Mission Summary:

2 months ago we lost the fight on Kholo. 3 weeks after that the Covenant glassed the planet and we lost all communication with the scattered forces we had left. Last week we learned the Covvies are still maintaining a presence on the planet and an Oni Prowler picked up faint signals from an underground research centre that was sending a mayday signal. Records show that the site was a repository for data looking into those ancient ruins we've found on Colonies across space. For some unknown reason, the Covenant want that data and have been trying to get their hands on it. 
We can't risk a conventional deployment; there's a Supercarrier lurking on the fringes of the system; so the decision was made to deploy Gamma Company in a Swift Strike mission. 
Orders have come down from on high from ONI command. We're deploying from a pair of Prowler Frigates using long-range stealth HEVs. Once dirtside, resupply will be limited and reinforcements even more so. But this is where Spartans excel. 
Secure an LZ; make your way to the target site. Secure any data you can and torch the rest On your way out disrupt Covenant operations near Karambit Base. Extract will be by via Pelicans launched from the Prowlers. We only have one shot at this, there is no room for error.
