Magnetic Accelerator Cannon: Difference between revisions

In [[Halo 2]], ''Cairo'' Station is the station where the [[Master Chief]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] receive awards, along with [[Miranda Keyes]], daughter of the famed [[Captain Keyes]]. When the Covenant come out of Slipspace, they attack ''[[Cairo Station]], [[MaltaStation]], and [[Athens Station]] .  At one time in the middle of the battle, ''Malta Station'' seems to have won the fight, as they report: "I don't believe it.  They're retreating! We've won!"  However, the Covenant soon demonstrates their new technique for dealing with the orbital MAC Cannons; using boarding parties to place a large bomb within the station.  The ''Athens Station'' explodes shortly thereafter, as does the ''Malta'' and those aboard the ''Cairo'' come to horrifying conclusion that there must also be a bomb on ''Cairo Station''. The Master Chief runs to find it and defuses it with [[Cortana]]'s help. The Master Chief manually places the bomb in a nearby Covenant capital ship and detonates it. The explosion propels the Master Chief through space to land on the [[UNSC In Amber Clad]], Commander Miranda Keyes' ship.
