[PILOT.1]
Standby, we are emerging from slipspace in 3,2,1..
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Alert, high light sources detected in the vicinity, recommend activation of the light shields.
[PILOT.2]
Roger, activating the sun blinds.
[SHIPMASTER]
Nonsense! Yanna, run a self diagnostic on the ship's sensor integrity.
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Yes, Shipmaster.
Shipmaster, tests have been completed. Sensors are one-hundred percent operational.
[SHIPMASTER]
Nonsense! Open the blinds immediately!
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Opening the ship's light shields will blind anyone looking at the outer light.
[SHIPMASTER]
DIM THE LIGHT THEN! I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS!
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Yes, Shipmaster.
... Calculating light source intensity... Calculating dimming required...
Dimming shields.
[PILOT.1]
Holy shit.
[PILOT.2]
This can't be.
[NAV.1]
What in the name of..
[SHIPMASTER]
Our home...

Our home...

... Is no longer.
Yanna, scan for life signs on the surface.
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Scanning surface... no life signs detected...
Scanning orbit... life signs detected.
[SHIPMASTER]
Prepare the vessel for combat.
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Human life signs detected. Humans are allies.
ONI "Prowler" class ship detected, callsign "UNSC Nightstalker"
[SHIPMASTER]
Hail them.
[SHIP.AI.CONSTRUCT]
Hailing... ... ...
[UNSC.NIGHTSTALKER][CPT.MURDOCH]
Oh god thanks, some of you are still alive!
[SHIPMASTER]
What happened?
[UNSC.NIGHTSTALKER][CPT.MURDOCH]
They came, they loaded up their weapons and they fired! Didn't take much time. It was the most gigantic fleet I'd ever seen in my career. The onboard AI crashed wile trying to number their odds. They tore through the defensive fleet like a knife through butter! All Elite ships were soon overrun, desperately firing all of their weapons. We even sent a fleet of ours to defend, but they were vaporized before our eyes. If it wasn't for the Nightstalker's active camouflage we would have been stardust now. Where are you guys coming from?
[SHIPMASTER]
We have been fleeing from the same threat. Our fleet at "Sigma Delta" was vaporized by the same kind of enemy.
[UNSC.NIGHTSTALKER][CPT.MURDOCH]
What do you think it is? The Flood?
[SHIPMASTER]
The Flood doesn't glass worlds.

And so it was, we returned home only to find out that the house is on fire. An entire defense fleet and a human force recon fleet was totally annihilated. Only one survivor, a cloaked human spy vessel. I ought to start contacting the rest of our brothers, but after this defeat, I am starting to wonder if we are the only ones left.

The spy ship will be escorting us to the human's homeworld, Earth. Where we shall discuss this new enemy.

Their bravely has never ceased to amaze me... They've sent an entire fleet of theirs to combat an enemy that not even our vessels could defeat.
