 * Captain Cardington opens a communications channel to the unknown fleet.

Cardington: Attention, unidentified vessel, you are entering UNSC controlled space and have fired upon our assets. Stand down, and prepare to be boarded.


 * I garbled response comes through.

Message: This........Admiral.......Renvor of the.........Empire. We........not yield.........you scum!


 * With that, the channle closes and Alexander looks to his executive officer, Walter Benz.

Cardington: The hell was that about?


 * Benz merely shrugs his shoulder. Just then, the sensors officer calls out.

Sensors: Sir, I'm picking up multiple energy signatures from those ships. I think they're going to fire!

Cardington: Raise shields, spund general quarters.

Benz: Sounding general quarters, aye!


 * Benz hits a button and the Bird of Hermes' klaxons and beacons come to life. The enemy ship unleash a barrage of green bolts at the UNSC fleet. Three frigates are blown apart along with a destroyer. The UNSC ships return fire with their Archer missles and MACs. One of the triangular ships explodes. Several small fighters launch from the ventral and broadside hangers of the enemy ships. They look like eyeballs with wings they swarm the UNSC fleet, unleashing barrages of more green bolts that moderately damage the hulls of the unshielded frigates and destroyers. The UNSC ships open fore with their 50mm point defense guns, taking many of the strange craft down.

Cardington: Launch all fighters and interceptors!


 * Shortly after, several Longswords and Broadswords launch from the UNSC fleet and begin attacking the enemy fighters. A flurry of yellow and green bolts and explosions ensues.
