The Covenant were not yet out of the fight. The UNSC frigate detected ''[[Unrelenting]]'' moving on an intercept course through normal space. ''Commonwealth'''s slipspace drive and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] were offline. The Covenant vessel was also damaged but still capable of twice the speed of its opponent. | The Covenant were not yet out of the fight.

UNSC forces resolved to fight rather than run. The Spartans and company departed in the Pelican for the frigate. | UNSC forces resolved to fight rather than run. The Spartans and company departed in the Pelican for the frigate. En route, [[John-117]] learned the MJOLNIR armor was EVA-capable and proposed a boarding action. The Spartans would fly out from the Pelican with thruster packs and intercept ''Unrelenting'' as the ship moved to engage ''Commonwealth''. Once aboard they would demolish the enemy ship from within using warheads from the dropship's 32 [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s. Each Spartan received one warhead. | ||
''Commonwealth'' fired another salvo of [[Archer missile]]s to draw attention and fire from the approaching Spartans. The firing of ''Unrelenting'''s pulse lasers briefly lowered a part of the ships shield and allowed John-117 to grab hold. Ultimately only three Spartans, John-117, [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034]], made it to the hull breach caused by the frigate's MAC fire. | ''Commonwealth'' fired another salvo of [[Archer missile]]s to draw attention and fire from the approaching Spartans.
