At 1602 hours, Operation: BUMRUSH was greenlit and these vessels, among them the cruiser ''Say My Name,'' [[SOEIV|deployed]] their respective contingents of troopers into Earth's atmosphere above the city. At 1603 hours, one minute into the drop, the ''Penance'' suddenly initiated an in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] jump, creating a massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] that fried the safety and navigational systems of the troopers' drop pods, sending them all free-falling to near-certain death and effectively terminating the operation.<ref | At 1602 hours, Operation: BUMRUSH was greenlit and these vessels, among them the cruiser ''Say My Name,'' [[SOEIV|deployed]] their respective contingents of troopers into Earth's atmosphere above the city.
