'''''Bulk Discount''''', [[freighter identification code]] BDX-008814530,<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 175''</ref> was a [[freighter]] in the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC commercial fleet|commercial fleet]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
The ''Bulk Discount'' was used as a trap by Lieutenant Commander [[Jilan al-Cygni]], with the help from Staff Sergeants [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]]. | |||
===Trap=== | |||
{{Main|Skirmish on Minor Transgression}} | |||
While al-Cygni originally believed [[Insurrectionist]]s were attacking cargo freighters around Harvest.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 123''</ref> and had laid her trap with them in mind, it was actually the work of the crew of ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', a Covenant exploration vessel. | |||
On January 16, 2525, al-Cygni, Johnson, and Byrne appropriated ''Bulk Discount'' from [[Sif]], and with al-Cygni's sloop ''[[Walk of Shame]]'' docked underneath initiated a Slipspace jump to Madrigal. Minutes later both ships exited Slipspace, ''Walk of Shame'' disengaged and disappeared from radar contact, and ''Bulk Discount'' began transmitting a fake SOS to lure the raiders into attacking. The SOS was picked up by Sif, who verified the transmission was false (the message referenced a nonexistent captain).<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 175-176''</ref> | |||
Shortly afterward, ''Minor Transgression'' arrived and attacked ''Bulk Discount'', using [[Pulse laser turret|lasers]] to pierce the freighter's hull and vent its atmosphere to kill any humans on board without harming the relic they sought. When the [[Jackal]] complement entered the freighter, they discovered they had accidentally disabled the [[artificial gravity]]. Johnson and Byrne, clad in [[vacuum suit]]s and had therefore survived the loss of atmosphere (and, therefore, presumably still giving the Covenant vessel's [[Luminary]] a signal that "relics" has survived the assault as well) subsequently ambushed and killed three Jackals, [[Zhar (Kig-yar)|Zhar]] among them.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 124-131''</ref> | |||
