After negotiating a meeting, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Whitcomb]] | After negotiating a meeting, which involved [[Vice Admiral]] [[Whitcomb]] blowing up another asteroid that was similar to the rebel base to force Governor [[Jacob Jiles]] to allow him and his staff entry to the base, Whitcomb warned Jiles that the Crystal meant that the Covenant would soon be arriving. Governor Jiles had just asked for proof of this claim when a [[Covenant Cruiser]] emerged from slipspace. After quickly assessing that both sides didn't have nearly the armed capabilities that they initially thought, Admiral Whitcomb tried the only solution available to him - the firing of a Plasma Cannon. However, the Plasma Cannon's magnetic coil failed, making the plasma blast shoot straight into the Gettysburg's hull rather than at the Covenant warship. | ||
It was suggested by [[Spartan-117]] to try using the Magnetic Coil on the Gettysburg to direct plasma from the Ascendant Justice. This worked and successfully destroyed the Covenant Cruiser, but at the cost of destroying the turret that had fired the shot. | It was suggested by [[Spartan-117]] to try using the Magnetic Coil on the Gettysburg to direct plasma from the Ascendant Justice.
