Nightfall: the attack on New Harmony is just the first of many to come unless our demands are met. Our governments have failed us and continue to do so. We will fight for our cause and do whatever it takes to do so no matter who may try and stop us. No amount of force can defeat what we are or who we are. We call on people everywhere not just in the UNSC but all over the galaxy. Join us in fighting these oppressors.

Asher arrives to meet with the admiral as he is working on a padd and finishes speaking into his ear piece as well.
Asher: I headed this way as soon as we got the news.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Harper is on the bridge looking over a holo display in the center. Parsis and General Yor are pleasant via holo as well.
Harper: we will all arrive at the same time. I want to drop out at full combat alert. Intel doesnt suggest there are any enemy ships in the area but I’d rather be ready then not at all. Once we arrive and establish orbit we will began a fast drop of your troops General. Try to get aids to the ground as well as secure it from any more hostile attacks.
Yor: agreed I would suggest dropping ODST pods right away while the pelicans get loaded.
Harper: agreed.
Parsis: does ONI believe that nightfall will make another move right away?
Harper: we aren’t sure yet. They seem to be wanting to provoke other groups into action as well. Hopefully that doesn’t happen. The last thing we need is them to prompt other terror groups into attacking other governments.
Yor: it would make sense though. If they can disrupt multiple governments it will cause even more strain on relations and cause more chaos and make it easier for them to act.

Asher arrives to meet with the admiral as he is working on a padd and finishes speaking into his ear piece as well.
Asher: I headed this way as soon as we got the news.
Asher: what we know so far besides from this transmission is that some weapon was detonated over the capital of New Harmony. From what ONI has shared with us about it they estimate 3 million dead. The UNSC has sent a task force to secure the planet as well. We can expect to hear of other nightfall attacks in the area and after hearing them I would expect they will have galvanized or emboldened all the other groups out there.

Asher: I think the best thing we can do now is increase patrols in areas we know have increased activity and increase security around the capital and high ranking diplomats and military officers. Yourself included. This could be just the kind of event free delta could be waiting for to make a big move again. They know we will be watching what’s going on in the UNSC closely and May hope we drop the ball in our own security.

As Harpers fleet arrives they quickly take position in orbit and begin deploying emergency troops and personnel. The capital is in ruins. ODST who arrive on the scene first begin looking through the rubble of buildings trying to find anyone who has survived. In orbit.
Harper is watching the action from monitors on the bridge.
Harper: why attack this colony and the capital. What did they have to gain from a civilian target. They want the people to be on their side so what could have been here.
Reena the ships AI appears on the holo table near him.
Reena: well I’m not picking up any unusual activity in the area. Scans of the surface are sketchy at best due to the large amounts of interference right now.
Harper: keep scanning and keep me posted. Something was here that made it a prime target I want to know why. The sooner we figure out what we are missing the better.
Reena: aye admiral.

Lang is watching events from the underground facility wheee Strauss is also present along with a security detail and a few aids.
Lang: General how long will we be down here.
Strauss: a few days. We will need to wait till Harper reports everything clear at the colony and make sure ONI doesn’t have word of any new threats.
Lang: staying down here is not what I planned on.
Strauss: no I’m sure it wasn’t. None of us do. I would rather be up there working with my men as well but with Harper gone my duty is to be in here with you.

Susan: Really? You going to try a sleeper hold on an Orion? You know how flexible we are right?
OoC: I am not aware if extreme flexibility could save you from a sleeper hold, but if it can't then Susan could be bluffing

OOC: Not strictly speaking allowed in wrestling (it depends how you define 'kicking' someone off - she's essentially pushing Susan off with her feet in Susan's gut, but I don't think it's conventionally allowed), so it's up to you how seriously Susan takes the rules.

Halsey is with Holland watching the number of screens and monitors ONI has monitoring the situation.
Halsey: he’s right.
Holland: Doctor?
Halsey: why would nightfall attack New Harmony. They didn’t take anything and don’t have resources there now. So what could they possibly be after.
Holland: ONI doesn’t have any assets there either or didn’t. We have one prowler there now watching but no bases or any thing like that.
Halsey: unless that wasn’t the real target. What else could they be after.
She walks over to a blank holo table as she activated it going through a slew of data.
Holland: you are thinking something I can tell.
Halsey: yes and if I’m right we could all be in danger. More so then we knew.
She taps a comm panel
Halsey: Gaz please head to the cadets and make sure the spartan recruits are kept safe.
Gaz: yes ma’am.
Holland: you think they would come here for them?
Halsey: for? No. But I do think they would be willing to try to get to them to try to make a point.
Holland: we have two frigates above the base in low orbit plus a whole battalion of troops and armor units here.
Halsey: yes and we think we are safe. Something here just doesn’t feel right colonel.

Holland: the people are getting a little restless but nothing the fleet can’t handle at the time.
Halsey nods as she looks at the data again.
Holland: it’s been 32 hours. Nothing new has happened. Go get some rest. If something happens I can have them let you know right away.
Halsey: alright but the moment something happens I want you to tell me.
