RELAY

REACH, EPSILON ERIDANI SYSTEM

1st BN, 12th Marines, UNSC MC

 ++MISSION BRIEFING++

"We knew this day would come. They have found our fortress among the stars. The Covenant are on Reach. They will burn this planet, kill millions, and when Reach falls—and fall it will—there will be nothing left to stand between them - and Earth."— Dr. Catherine Halsey

Mission Summary:

The WINTER CONTIGENCY has been activated by HIGHCOM. Covenant forces are dirtside on Reach. There was a Covenant Supercarrier which had somehow slipped past our defences that was taken out as part of OPERATION UPPER CUT; but now a massive Covenant fleet has arrived in system and is attempting to close on the planet.  We have to do everything we can to delay the breakthrough as much as possible. The Epsilon Eridani fleet is engaging en-masse in Orbit, and they're relying on the MAC platforms and planet side MAC batteries to assist in the fight as much as possible. 1st Battalion are being deployed to help hold the Thoronos Relay and keep it operational. This relay is vital to maintaining accurate target locks for 6 MAC batteries on the surface. While they'll keep firing if it goes down, they will be much less accurate. Army forces are stretched thin across the planet; and our company was slated to be transported off of Reach earlier than the rest of the Battalion which is why we're the closest now.
Orders have been scrubbed in the face of WINTER CONTINGENCY. Deploy from the Corvette UNSC Parisian and double time it to the Relay. Keep that station secure for as long as possible. The defenders there are already under fire.

If the relay should be lost, or the generators go offline; secondary defence site is the regional airbase. HIGHCOM will issue orders for redeployment if necessary. Good luck. Keep those guns firing. Time is all we have left.
