Shortly after the siege and eventual destruction of the Weapons Research Facility T12A, the ''The Heart of Midlothian'' dropped out of [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] in the outlying regions of the Algol system, slingshot behind a proximal gas giant along a stream of asteroidal debris toward the planet’s surface. There, they would rendezvous with an ONI contact group deployed by the lone frigate assisting with the colony’s evacuation measures. After ensuring Algolis’ stockpile of prototype weapons were destroyed, they would leave the planet, letting it fall to the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Baird}} | Shortly after the siege and eventual destruction of the Weapons Research Facility T12A, the ''The Heart of Midlothian'' dropped out of [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] in the outlying regions of the Algol system, slingshot behind a proximal gas giant along a stream of asteroidal debris toward the planet’s surface.

During the course of the mission almost as soon as ''The Heart of Midlothian'' exited [[Slipstream space|slipspace]], the {{Class|Halberd|destroyer}} was perfectly targeted and instantly ambushed by a small Covenant [[battle group]] of a single {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} as the [[flagship]], and 4 "completely new" [[Covenant starship|Covenant ships]] escorting it, along with a swarm of [[Type-28 Tick]]s and {{Pattern|Kai|Seraph}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} It was possible that the Covenant knew exactly where ''The Heart of Midlothian'' was going to exit inside the range of the weapons system before the shipboard AI, [[Mo Ye]] could react against the surprise attack.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} Two Ticks boarded the [[UNSC starship|UNSC vessel]] and dispatched boarding parties inside the ship, where they punctured the ship in 200 different locations and killed the crew in their entirety before they could sound a general alarm save one [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[Michael Baird]], who was unconscious for 23 hours since ''The Heart of Midlothian'' entered [[Slipspace]] and then when the Covenant attacked the destroyer upon its arrival near Algolis.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} They quickly disconnected Mo Ye. Baird was in the surgery unit during the boarding action, inadvertently saving his life.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} | During the course of the mission almost as soon as ''The Heart of Midlothian'' exited [[Slipstream space|slipspace]], the {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}} was perfectly targeted and instantly ambushed by a small Covenant [[battle group]] of a single {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} as the [[flagship]], and 4 "completely new" [[Covenant starship|Covenant ships]] escorting it, along with a swarm of [[Type-28 Tick]]s and {{Pattern|Kai|Seraph}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} It was possible that the Covenant knew exactly where ''The Heart of Midlothian'' was going to exit inside the range of the weapons system before the shipboard AI, [[Mo Ye]] could react against the surprise attack.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} Two Ticks boarded the [[UNSC starship|UNSC vessel]] and dispatched boarding parties inside the ship, where they punctured the ship in 200 different locations and killed the crew in their entirety before they could sound a general alarm save one [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]], [[Michael Baird]], who was unconscious for 23 hours since ''The Heart of Midlothian'' entered [[Slipspace]] and then when the Covenant attacked the destroyer upon its arrival near Algolis.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} They quickly disconnected Mo Ye.

As Mo Ye told Baird about the events that occurred while he was unconscious and Baird asked why she could not just wipe the NAV database as per the [[Cole Protocol]], Mo Ye informed Baird that this boarding party was unlike any other due to a [[Three Laws of Robotics|restriction]] placed on her by a "never-seen-before" [[Huragok|Covenant species]] brought aboard in her disconnected state which did not allow her to willingly harm a human, systematically destroying Mo Ye's systems to prevent her from self-destructing.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} To allow Mo Ye to start the self-destruct sequence of ''The Heart of Midlothian'', Mo Ye guided Baird to the [[bridge]] of ''Midlothian'' and manually boot her systems. She was able to tell him this because she had left a small piece of her coding behind to watch over Baird's procedure.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} | As Mo Ye told Baird about the events that occurred while he was unconscious and Baird asked why she could not just wipe the NAV database as per the [[Cole Protocol]], Mo Ye informed Baird that this boarding party was unlike any other due to a [[Three Laws of Robotics|restriction]] placed on her by a "never-seen-before" [[Huragok|Covenant species]] brought aboard in her disconnected state which did not allow her to willingly harm a human, systematically destroying Mo Ye's systems to prevent her from self-destructing.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} To allow Mo Ye to start the self-destruct sequence of ''The Heart of Midlothian'', Mo Ye guided Baird to the [[bridge]] of ''Midlothian'' and manually boot her systems.
