-Arriving over [[Sigma Octanus IV]] in response to a possible impending Covenant attack, the [[Halberd-class light destroyer|destroyer]] {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}}, under the command of Commander Keyes, found itself outmatched by the arrival of a Covenant [[battle group]] consisting of one [[Covenant carrier|carrier]], one {{Class|RPV|light destroyer}}, and two [[Covenant frigate|frigates]] (medium-sized support ships). They were only expecting four medium-sized ships.

They were only expecting four medium-sized ships.
 Keyes resolved to attack by setting the ''Iroquois'' on a collision course for the destroyer at emergency acceleration while launching a nuclear warhead in what seemed to be the wrong direction. The two escorting frigates proceeded to launch one [[plasma torpedo]] each, but the ''Iroquois'' managed to evade by utilizing its [[emergency thruster]]s. Having missed their target, the plasma torpedoes came about and continued to track and home in on the UNSC [[warship]].
