A few hours later, the ''Vanishing Point'' and two | A few hours later, the ''Vanishing Point'' and two escorting prowlers entered left the Kolaqoa system. During the two-day journey, John discussed with Staff Sergeant Johnson which vessels of the logistics fleet they should designate as priority targets. Ultimately, they decided that they would target the munitions supply vessels first and the food supply vessels second, as the loss of those necessities would bring the Covenant offensive in this part of human space to a standstill.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS19|HSS|Chapter=19}} | ||
On [[2526#March|March 22]], the ''Vanishing Point'' and its escorts arrived at Etalan and they spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements, trying to discern which vessels served each function. By [[2526#March|March 26]], the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s analysts felt confident that four of the fifteen Covenant vessels were equipment [[freighter]]s that carried spare parts and other materials used to maintain the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience. At this point, the logistics fleet seemed to be preparing to break from orbit over the planet to rejoin the main fleet at Biko. This was evidenced by the fact that they had begun syncing their orbits and bringing their [[fusion reactor]]s to full power. Since time was evidently running out, Gold and Green Teams were deployed in [[S-14 Baselard]]s to destroy the freighters as Blue Team and Johnson discussed what vessels they should target during the second phase of the attack since they still had not identified the munitions and food supply vessels with complete certainty. The plan called for each of them to fly one of the Banshees they had captured at Netherop into the hangars of the target vessels, crash the fighters with a HAVOK nuke planted in the cockpit, and then go [[Extra-vehicular activity|EV]] to be recovered by the escort prowlers. For the purpose of this mission, each member of Blue Team was equipped with an [[M99 Stanchion]] and [[M41 SPNKR]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS19}} | On [[2526#March|March 22]], the ''Vanishing Point'' and its escorts arrived at Etalan and they spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements, trying to discern which vessels served each function.
