Kelly-087: Difference between revisions

On October 23, 2558, Kelly and the rest of Blue Team were deployed from the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} on a mission to find and secure ''[[Argent Moon]]'', an ONI research vessel that had been missing for nineteen months. Departing from a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]], Blue Team managed to infiltrate the ''Argent Moon'' by shooting out one of the windows, subsequently causing many Sangheili part of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] to be sucked out into the vacuum. Ascertaining that there were no human survivors aboard, Kelly and the others fought towards central control, where they planned to disable the gravity and life support systems on the ship in order to kill off the rest of the Covenant. During the mission, John experienced a vision from [[Cortana]] telling him that the [[Domain]] was open, that [[Meridian]] was next, and that the [[Reclaimer|Reclamation]] was about to begin. Upon coming to, he told Blue Team what he had seen. Resolving to deal with it later, they continued onwards according to their original plan. Upon witnessing Covenant vessels exiting slipspace all around the ''Argent Moon'', however, the plan changed to asset denial and it was decided that the ''Argent Moon'' must be destroyed. Blue Team fought to the ship's reactor and disabled its safeties so that it would begin to overheat and detonate. However, the ''Argent Moon'' responded with automatic safeties, moving the reactor to a cooling center where it could be contained. Needing to ensure its overload, Blue Team followed the reactor to the cooling center in vacuum, using Banshees to destroy its coolant pipes. With their interference, the cooling system failed and the reactor began overheating, prepping ''Argent Moon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s destruction. Blue Team needed to escape, but their Banshees would not escape the explosion in time and their arrival Pelican appeared to have been destroyed. John thus ordered them to the [[hangar]] where they could take a [[Winter-class prowler]] and escape into slipspace. Arriving at a hangar, the Spartans found the parked [[prowler]] [[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']], but needed to recharge its fuel cells. Many more Covenant attacked them while Blue Team defended themselves, waiting for the prowler to prep for launch. With the hangar cleared and the Acrisius ready, John-117 radioed the UNSC ''Infinity'' and informed them that he would be sending Blue Team to Meridian. However, ''Infinity'' was mysteriously already aware of Cortana's return and ordered Blue Team back to them while another Spartan team was sent to deal with her. Rejecting their orders, Blue Team chose to go AWOL and evacuated aboard the ''Acrisius'', leaving the ''Argent Moon'' as it exploded.
