Unidentified UNSC scanning device: Difference between revisions

Shortly after the [[Battle of Miridem]] in [[2544]], such a device was utilized by a team of [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] during their [[Raid on the Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence|mission to rescue]] [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] from a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence|fleet]] by using [[Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity|OF92/EVA Booster Frames]]. The fleet's [[Supreme Commander]], [[Luro 'Taralumee]], was able to fool the scanning device's sensors and make it appear that there were multiple signals; these false signals were baited traps, as they led to [[antimatter charge]]s. One of these decoys was successful, resulting in the death of [[Solomon-069]]. However, [[John-117]] realized that the Covenant knew the Spartans' objective; he thus deduced that Halsey's  real signal originated from the Covenant flagship, ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''.<ref name="package"/>

Based upon what limited information that is available, the scanning device is probably deployed either aboard the Booster Frames, or deployed onto the hull of a target vessel, in this case, a [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|''CCS''-class Battlecruiser]]. It can also probably be inferred that the Covenant were able to fool these devices by possibly rigging multiple Antimatter Charges with a false signal transmitter programmed to broadcast on the same frequency of Dr. Halsey's beacon, and the bombs themselves programmed to detonate by proximity alert once the false signal is investigated.
