'''United Nations Space Command Transmission 116749-09''' was a restricted communiqué sent from [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole|Preston J. Cole]] to [[Admiral]] [[Dale Kilkin]] on March 9, [[2543]]. It contained several requests in preparation for the impending [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'', pages 474-476 (2009 edition)</ref> | |||
UNSC Transmission 116749-09 was later included within the intelligence report ''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]'', sent by [[Codename: SURGEON]] to [[Codename: USUAL SUSPECTS]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', pages 326-328 (2010 edition, Vol. I)</ref> SURGEON maintained that while seemingly innocuous, many of Cole's requests in the transmission support the contention that Cole planned to faked his own death at Psi Serpentis.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole'', pages 326, 337-339 (2010 edition, Vol. I)</ref> For instance, the requisitioned [[Archer missile]]s and [[Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Io}} were likely intended to provide a smoke screen and decoy, allowing Cole to perform an in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|Slipspace jump]]. Similarly, the FTL manifold calculations that Cole requested might have enabled such a feat. In particular, SURGEON believed that Cole's personnel transfer request was meant to ensure he had a loyal crew to help facilitate his desertion.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

:Recent [[prowler]] reports indicate a Covenant armada massing in [[FLEETCOM Sector Three|Sector Three]]. I need my ships repaired, refitted, and battle-ready ASAP. Code these orders [[CRIMSON]], and pull in favors people owe me to make it happen. You know what I mean. | |||
:#'''Requisition''': 600 [[tungsten]]-layered [[titanium-A armor]] plates (radiation-absorption rating: 5), replacement and upgrades for degraded armor plates on ''Everest'', et al. | |||
:#'''Requisition''': Additional "smart" nav [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. Sealed and un-booted. Back-up for ''Everest''. Current AI operating at 68% capacity. | |||
:#'''Order''': Pull the ''Io'' out of space dock and tow her to my position. Too far gone to repair, but [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Wren]] has an idea to use her as a [[Wikipedia:Fire ship|fire ship]]. | |||
:#'''Requisition''': Ordnance: 105 [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]] ([[VE-3 nuclear missile|VE-3 type]]), 2400 [[Archer missile]]s, 45,000 blocks [[M810 Helix point defense gun|Helix System]] ammunition (see additional nonordnance supplies in Attachment A). | |||
:#'''Requisition''': Detailed stellar survey of Section Three, [[FLEETCOM Sector Three/Subvolume D-6|sub-volume D-6]]. Emphasis on systems with proto-brown dwarf gas giants. | |||
:#'''Transfers''': I can’t lead my fleet into battle when half my officers are on the verge of collapse from fatigue. List of crew transfers in Attachment B. List of requested crew replacements in Attachment C. | |||
:#'''Favor''': I have a theoretical [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa manifold]] calculation that needs crunching through the [[ONI]] [[Reach super-AI network|AI network on Reach]]. They’re the only ones in the [[Outer Colonies]] with the raw power to get the job done. | |||
:#Wish me luck. | |||
