Battle of Meridian (2558): Difference between revisions

After the Guardian was taken to Genesis, all the Promethean forces disappeared along with it. On October 28, four survivors of the Guardian's departure from Meridian constructed a transmitter in an attempt to get off Meridian. They intercepted Cortana's speech to the Galaxy from the day before, only wanting to leave the planet, the survivors sent a message back and asked for help. Soon after they got a response that everything would be dealt with in time.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', ''[[What Remains]]''</ref> Despite the loss of [[Pinnacle Station|the orbital elevator]] and of [[Meridian Station|its local headquarters]], Liang-Dortmung still received important demand for Meridian's vitrified resources. They relocated their efforts to [[Darkstar Station]], a remote polar outpost. Its workers and engineers had remained mostly unaware of the catastrophe that had happened on the other surface of the planet-moon. The company sent additional ships and personnel to accelerate resource gathering as long as possible, profiting from a tacit permission from the UNSC, and the lack of risky Created activity in the system. Still, the UNSC would prepare a return to Meridian in order to investigate ancient machinery dormant under the surface.<ref name="Ceiling"/>
