I think I might have posted this in the wrong area...

Faction & Division: United Nations Space Command Navy

Rank: Rear Admiral (Lower Half)

Name: Frazer Andrew York

Race: Human

Age: 45

Height: 5'12"

Weight: 197Ibs

Appearance: Frazer's eyes are brown in colour. His eyebrows are brown and are very bushy but are shaped to the eye correctly as any normal person. His skin complexion is a very pale white. He is the sort of person who doesn't see the sun a lot. He does not have any tattoos at this moment in time. He shaves regularly so he does not get any facial hair due to the navy not allowing a lot of facial hair. His body statue is of a normal Human male of his age so he is not fat and is just the right height for someone of his age. His muscles show a little but due to his age the muscles are starting to be covered with wrinkled skin. He is also starting to get scars around his chest due to him being bent over things such as the holo table, although it doesn't affect him medically it still looks horrible.

Strengths: -Frazer's main strength is his leadership capabilities he can lead well in battle and under pressure.

-Another strength is that he can be very peaceful meaning he won't engage unless he has too and believes in a peace treaty with the Covenant unlike other officers, this is due to him thinking the war is already lost.

-He is a very good tactician, he can make any sort of situation turn into his favor and make very calm good decisions whilst in combat.

Weaknesses:

-Frazer can be very tempered at times. For example he does not like it when his crew or anyone for a matter of fact disrespects the chain of command, if a crew member did not say sir to him then he is likely shout and possibly punish them for it.

-Frazer is a smoker so that affects his health and breathing which is not good when your an officer of an important ship. To make life better he has been trying to give up ever since he took control of the UNSCS Preston but he is yet to succeeded.

Biography/Service Record:

Pre-United Nations Space Command Career

Frazer was born on the home planet Earth In England, London. His Mother, Rachel York was from the north of the country and at the time she owned her own Restaurant which her and few friends ran. His Father, Robert York was from Scotland. He worked in the UNSC Navy and was the rank of Commander. He captained many vessels during his service in the navy; Robert didn't retire until he was 60.

Robert was never home due to him being a Naval Officer in the UNSC. So that left his wife to look after and raise Frazer by herself. Frazer for the first two years would be a very boring tale of learning to crawl, talk and walk. Although as a child he did love being sick on his mum when she was shopping.

Whenever his father would return home Frazer would run to the window of their countryside house to welcome him home. On his 14 birthday his father gave him a special present that his family has been passing down for generations. It was an engraving on a stone connected via a gold necklace, the engraving read:

"True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one." This saying was something Frazer took very seriously and read it every day, the stone however was traced back to the 1250's when Scotland said no to defeat against the English. Frazer's dad didn't take the saying to heart as much as Frazer did this is due to Roberts father, Frazer's granddad, disowning him from a very young age. This was the main reason Robert gave that necklace to Frazer at a young age.

Frazer was an average student at the London's school of learning. His good grades was his electronics and IT, due to him getting an A* in both. His social skills were another matter he was not confident and was scared of speaking to new people. His mother knew this the most. So to combat this she took him to the UNSC naval cadets, where as a child any cadet would live a military lifestyle that in time would make the cadets more confident in speaking to people.

By the age of sixteen he met a girl at the UNSC naval cadets her name was Rachel. She was a girl who was also not very confident in meeting new people so they made a perfect match. From what turned into a simple conversation then turned into them going on a date that went so well they shared their first kiss.

At the age of 18 he had graduated from school with 3 A Levels and 10 GCSE's and his relationship with Rachel was starting to get very serious. Frazer instead of carrying on their relationship decided to end it due to him wanting to go to university and then go and join up with the UNSC navy. Rachel didn't take the news great as she wanted to just settle down with Frazer like they had planned but Frazer's heart was set on following in his fathers foot steps. Rachel left London to move up north and never spoke to him again. Frazer then set off for university after he said his goodbyes to his mum. He also let his father known via video mail but Frazer never got a reply.

Frazer spent four hard years in University, he did not start another relationship with another girl due to what happened with Rachel. When he emerged he had gained an electronical engineering degree. He then was 22 and was ready to become a UNSC Officer. He then went home and told his mother about his plans. She did not like the idea because it was bad enough having Robert in the navy but to have Frazer would make her life hell. She finally calmed down and told Frazer she approved on his decision to help the war effort. Frazer said his final goodbye to his Mother, video mailed his father informing him of his decision which his father said in a reply back, “You will make a great officer son.” After Frazer said his goodbyes he moved to the country of America. When he arrived he made his way to the UNSC Naval Academy to start his training.

United Nations Space Command Naval Career

Through out his training, Frazer gained exceptional leadership skills and was told by his mentors he was one of the best tacticians in that academy at that certain time. After Frazer spent four years at the naval academy he went straight into active duty. First serving on the UNSCS Gibraltar as second officer, where he gained his full lieutenant rank after the commanding officer of the UNSCS Gibraltar put him through for a promotion after he helped get the ship out of a sticky situation.

After that Frazer went and served on numerous of ships, some frigates some destroyers. But how he gained his lieutenant commander promotion was due to exemplary leadership skills on the UNSCS Killer Whale. Frazer's captain on the UNSCS Killer Whale died from a blast within the ship as he was moving to the bridge so Frazer had to lead the ship to safety because he was the executive officer. Which he did with the help of the ships A.I. managing to dodge the enemy ships locations that she pointed out as they moved.

This managed to get the UNSCS Killer Whales crew out of harms way and allowed the ship to retreat to a dry dock for repairs. The Covenant ships did not give up there, they followed Frazer and his ship to the dry dock and started an attack on the area. Frazer as soon as he got word from his ships operations officer that Covenant scouts have been spotted, Frazer requested support and he got it luckily right before the Covenant attack. The Covenant retreated and slip spaced out of there and Frazer and some of his crew was taken to high command for a promotion. They were glad the ship got of there safely due to the UNSC loosing more ships then they can produce this is way he got promoted. High command could tell there was more to Frazer then met the eye.

After that Frazer took command of an UNSC Frigate, Paris class. He served on the UNSCS Blackpool for ten years being the commanding officer of the ship Frazer saw a lot of action. The mission that got him is commander rank though was a hard thought battle over many of hours of fighting with covenant ships. A UNSC task force was sent to an outer colony planet to defend from an Covenant onslaught of ships. They outnumbered the UNSC ships by two to one and there was thirty ships that the UNSC had in command on that day. The objective was simple, evacuate the planet and get the hell out of there. But the problem was to keep the Covenant from reaching the planet to disrupt the evacuation proceedings.

The Blackpool and other vessels in the fleet surrounded the planet to stop any Covenant ships from getting through. At first it was silent, the space around them was empty and the planet was a quarter of a way through things were going good. Suddenly a massive CRV-class supercruiser came out of slip space and then coming from right behind that cruiser came more SDV- corvettes and other Covenant ships that were not yet noticeable. The admiral that was in charge decided to send the destroyers, frigates and one cruiser to meet the Covenant fleet whilst the rest of the frigates and three cruisers were tasked with carrying on the evacuation. The UNSCS Blackpool was tasked with being in the fleet that was tasked with attacking the Covenant fleet.

Frazer got his ship to red alert with the rest of the allied ships and started to engage the Covenant ships. Frazer used his frigate's speed to his advantage attempting to dodge the enemy plasma rounds and then going in for the kill on Covenant corvettes. The Blackpool took some damage to the port engine and as it did so Frazer and his crew started to loose control of the ship.

In response to this Frazer used his starboard engine to line the ship back up with an enemy corvette and charged, fired and destroyed the enemy ship. Which was about to fire upon another UNSC ship. Frazer and his crew had to abandon the ship due to taking another plasma round. The nearby cruiser got most of the crew of the ship and at the end of the day Frazer and his crew held there own against Covenant corvettes which is what got his promotion. The end result was the planet was successfully evacuated but at the major cost of eighteen UNSC ships so only twelve got out free some still damaged from the battle.

Further Service in the United Nations Space Command Navy and Mission 4 - Supercarrier

After Frazer got out the battle and returned to High Command in Reach, he gained his commander rank for good tactics in the face of battle and helping the battle with 22nd Tactical Fleet. Without Frazer on that day the UNSC would have lost a lot of ships so what Frazer did was not just destroying the Covenant ships but he was saving UNSC lives and ships. This is one of the reasons he got promoted, that and a good word from the Admiral of his fleet.

Frazer then went to then serve on many ships being the commanding officer of most of them. How he got he Captain rank was through hard battles against the Covenant helping to save planets, evacuating some civilians and then to save actual UNSC ships from being destroyed. Due to this heroism he was awarded the rank of Captain. As well as gaining the rank of Captain, high command thought it would better help the war effort if he took control of the UNSCS Preston, a Virtue Attack Class Carrier, this Frazer welcomed with opened arms because he felt he could help the UNSC better in this ship. Frazer then assisted the navy in chasing down a Covenant Supercarrier. The mission was mainly ground but Frazer and the Preston got a few good kills in whilst they we're there.

Mission 5 - Rumble in the Jungle

Frazer and the Preston's crew then faced a jungle planet. The UNSC had failed their mission on the planet and they needed evacuating out. So an Admiral ordered the Preston to get in geosynchronous orbit around the planet and launch a blanket of longswords to protect the fleet. He was then tasked to launch the Pelicans to help the evacuation.

Frazer and the crew did all of that and then Admiral Vardy requested a re-group to launch an attack on the Covenant Fleet. So the Preston, after Frazer told Vardy he wasn't going in this one alone, got in formation and Frazer said a heroic speech to his crew to help inspire them in the for coming battle.

They did in the end due to one of the Covenant ships being blow up by another Covenant ship. The Preston and its crew as relived to be alive as he himself didn't think he could make it our of this battle alive. It was the work of God Frazer thought.

Mission 5 Intermission and Flight of Faith (Past Tense Mission)

As the battle finished the fleet went back to the sector of inner colonies and Frazer reported back to Reach once again. He got word of a new mission by command. Frazer was tasked with scouting out a location in neutral space. He was in command of a small scouting force. The force consisted of two frigates. One the UNSCS Hibernian and the other UNSCS Heavy Feather.

Frazer was currently scouting the area with the fleet. The UNSCS Heavy Feather had been destroyed with no survivors by the Covenant destroyer. The UNSCS Hibernian had slip spaced into an unknown sector.

The Preston destroyed the Covenant Destroyer that attacked Frazer and his crew at the start but it seems they brought back up. The Covenant Fleet consisted off six frigates, four escort destroyers and two CCS's. Frazer and his crew was then tasked with taking on one of the leading CCS Class BattleCruisers. He took out the leading CCS and nearly got hit by the plasma shot that was fired. Frazer then decided to take on the leading Covenant frigate. He thank to the assistance of another two ships took care of the rest of the fleet. It was now time to find the Commander and her crew.

Mission 6: Battle above Refuge

Frazer and the Preston had just arrived at the Planet hope to discover a weird EMP wave around parts of the city. Frazer and the 14th Tactical Fleet also had a threat of an Covenant Fleet slip spacing in. This battle could go either way. Frazer then got orders from Admiral Vardy to sync in his A.I with the fleet. They needed to discover what this EMP bubble was down there. Frazer was annoyed that he didn't know what was going on down there.

Suddenly a Covenant fleet slipspaced in and now Frazer is stuck in fighting above the planet. With ships being lost fast and the Admiral being shot Frazer decided to release his Longswords to help. The whole battle was mad, ships were being lost every minute. Even the 14th Fleets new officer in charge didnt know what to do. She ordered a full retreat but as Frazer and the Preston bugged out he noticed Admiral Klix was left behind. All Frazer could do was wait and get ready to regroup at Reach. Luckily the ground forces got out and so do the Admiral so all was well. Not including the lives that we're lost. Frazer still cant forget about that battle.

Mission 6 Intermission and High Command HQ

On returning to Reach after the battle above Refuge, Frazer found himself being called upon to go to the Reach Naval Command HQ, where he found himself in a room with Admiral Klix and Admiral Vardy. He was then given the news about being transferred onto a new vessel. This new vessel was the biggest ship in the entire UNSC. It was indeed a Trafalgar class ship. He was also promoted to Rear Admiral for his leadership under the Preston.

Frazer decided to transfer the Prestons bridge crew over to the the new ship but they left Tiffany. Frazer knew she would be fine there and it wasnt all bad as within the 22nd, Frazer's new fleet he was transferred into, he was given command of a unit. This unit had the Preston in it so it wasnt as bad as it looked. Frazer named the new ship, the UNSCS Tassafaronga, after a naval battle that was fought in World War 2. Frazer, with his new rank, old crew, new A.I and new ship was ready for whatever the Covenant threw at him

UNSC 22nd and 14th Fleets Unit Mission (Current Tense Mission)

Frazer and his new crew and ship slip spaced into a system they were of so familiar with. As per Admiral Klix's orders, Frazer got his battlegroup to spread out and away from the Iowa as they needed to be spaced for the Covenant fight to come.

Description:

If there is any ship in the Navy which most resembles, in function, the seagoing 'Super-Carriers' of Earth's past, it would be the Trafalgar-class Fleet Carrier - also known, unsurprisingly, as a 'Super-Carrier'. Immense in size, these ships serve two purposes and two purposes only: To support and deploy strike craft in large numbers and be an effective warship against Covenant Capital Vessels, and it succeeded. As incredibly important assets, these ships are outfitted with the heaviest point defenses of any vessel in the fleet. In the event of ship to ship engagements they could also hold their own. The Trafalgar was first constructed in 2527, after two years of intelligence had been collected on the Covenant. The Trafalgar has enough reactor to power an entire planet or a Orbital Defense Station if it needed too, though it is also a hazard. One reactor goes down it turns into a crippling blow for this class of carriers. Onboard facilities include private quarters for all commissioned officers, a 500-seat theatre/cinema/music venue, several gymnasia (one including a swimming pool), and - since there are no real windows, by nature of the design - simulated windows in most parts of the ship, using banks of external microcameras and perfect-fidelity flatscreens on the walls.

As part of the core of any given task force or fleet, these ships have the most extensive recreational amenities of any military vessel, for the use of not only their own crews but other crews as well. Their enormous fuel reserves and supply capacity means that they can also serve as ad-hoc replenishment ships, though this is by no means ideal. Their sensors, communications, and command and control systems are also second to none, with computers able to coordinate the operations of very large numbers of vessels even without smart AI support. Such is the level of complication, however, that the Trafalgar-class vessels have the notable distinction of being expected to regularly utilize more than one smart AI in its systems.

The Trafalgar-class is the largest warship class to have ever served in the UNSCN, though there are larger vessels of other kinds, such as mega-freighters and replenishment vessels. Their performance as a warship is admired by all naval commanders. Possessing enough reactor power to have an effective weight:trust ratio for maneuvering or charging the lone SSAK-79 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon the ships noise supports.

The deployment of the Trafalgar, the lone completed hull as of 2547, means that the UNSC is taking the threat of the attack or defense serious enough to employ their biggest ship, and on top of that one of their most effective ship in neutralizing Covenant Warships, in battle. While it dwarfs standard UNSC Heavy Cruisers such as the Marathon and Marathon II Cruisers, the effectiveness is matched. The Cruisers are faster and just and strong in terms of armor and firepower, but lack the charge times and single ship fighters the Trafalgar can produce.

Though massive, the Trafalgar isn't build an dense as a Heavy Cruiser, allowing room for the massive amount of fighters it carries. The Trafalgar also employs naval docking clamps inside the hull, literally carrying its own escort inside its belly. During combat, the Trafalgar can launch various vessels from the lower hanger bay, from fifteen Frigates to a single Marathon Cruiser. The tactical advantage this produces is stunning. The Trafalgar can enter slip-space, exit and launch its escort, effectively putting sixteen ships accurately into one position.

Biography:

The ship was recently produced to help aid the war effort in around Reach. The decision was made from Naval Command to allow Captain Frazer York to command this vessel as he had the fore most experience leading a carrier into battle.

Unlike her sister ship, the UNSCS Trafalgar, the UNSCS Tassafaronga is fresh and is yet to be tested in combat. The crest that is on the side of the ship is what all crew members aboard wear as a token to the crews so called family.

RP Sample: The UNSCS Preston orbited a science station along with two destroyers as escorts after being deployed to the region to prepare for an oncoming Covenant attack. Frazer, stood there on the bridge, waited anxiously for word from Tiffany on the situation. Tiffany came up on the A.I. Pedestal and turned to look at Frazer. "Sir our orders are as follows, our vessel is to defend the UNSC science station from an imminent attack. A CCS-Class battlecruiser has jumped into the system and is closing in fast but its target is to annihilate the station! Destroy the Covenant threat while you evacuate the scientists. The battlecruiser is nearing out position sir what are our orders?" Tiffany spoke in a worrying tone. Frazer walked over to the holo table where Tony and John came to join him. Frazer sighed and then spoke.

"Right the main priority of this is to evacuate the civilians and scientists from the science station. Tiffany bring the ship to red alert and have the med bay ready for casualties. Fuel pelicans, I want the pelicans evacuating the base constantly whilst we defend them." Frazer turned away from Tiffany and as he did so Tiffany nodded and disappeared from the pedestal. Frazer then turned towards Trayner who was plotting a course with a ensign. "Trayner I want you to position us so that were in front of the base with our ship pointing front."

"Aye aye sir. Ensign plot course bearing 013, half speed ahead, starboard turn..." Sophie continued to speak to the ensign in the background as the Preston moved to the location. Frazer then turned to his communication officer, Dean, and spoke.

"Wilson get me a line with the two destroyers so I can personally give them their orders." Frazer said looking back towards the holo table. He saw the battlecruiser getting closer and closer to them, it would only be another few minutes until they reached them.

"Okay your now live sir." Dean said to Frazer and as Dean told him he moved over to the comm table and spoke from the microphone that was there.

"UNSCS Antelope and UNSCS Pelican, this is the UNSCS Preston actual. Your orders are the following, a Covenant battlecruiser is nearing our position. I want you to prime weapon systems and place you ships behind the science station and to start evacuating scientists. Then when I say, which will be around when the battlecruiser is close enough, I want you to come from behind the station and attack the cruiser from the port and starboard sides. Before which we will be attempting to hold them off. Don't let me down I know you both can do this." Frazer came off the comm and came back to the holo table and Tiffany came back on the pedestal. Frazer turned towards Tiffany. "Tiff prime the MAC cannons, have archer defences ready on my mark. I want longswords in the bay ready to fight if I need them."

"Roger that alerting the pilots as we speak." Tiffany said as Frazer looked at the cruiser coming closer. The cruiser came into visual range. Frazer wondered why it didn't just slip space to the front of the station instead of slip spacing well before them. The Preston was positioned in from of the base and the destroyers arrived behind the station.

"Enemy cruiser spotted bearing 350. Heading straight towards us for sir." Sophie reported to Frazer whilst he walked over to the captains chair. Frazer looked at his crew and then outside the bridge window.

"Right this is it people. We will not let the Covenant get this station. Tiffany make sure the pelicans are constantly evacuating the scientists. Also make sure the MAC cannon is ready when that ship comes into firing range."

"Nighty percent and charging sir." Tiffany paused a second. "The station reports that thirty percent of the scientists have been evacuated. They suspect they will be finished in half an hour or so." The battlecruiser came into firing distance of the Preston. Tiffany understood that decided to report it to Frazer as he asked her to do. "Sir the battlecruiser is in range of our MAC cannons. I have alerted the destroyers which are moving in for the kill to the sides of the Covenant ship. Waiting on your order to fire s..." Tiffany paused and then suddenly she shouted. "SIR INCOMING PLASMA ROUND." Frazer looked straight towards Sophie.

"Sophie full ahead, HARD STARBOARD." Sophie nodded and the Preston started to move to the right of the station. The Plasma round kept coming and due to the size of the carrier and how slow it moved, the Preston couldn't get fully out of the line of fire. The ship shook and a loud booming noise came from the back of the ship. "Fire all guns, Dean get the destroyers to fire one MAC cannon NOW! Tiffany report."

"Sir they have damaged the port engine. We are unable to go at full speed. Half speed is the maximum speed we can do now." Tiffany said in a worrying voice to Frazer.

"Sophie hard port, half speed. We need our ship in line with the cruiser again." Sophie nodded and the Preston began to turn face the cruiser. The destroyers emerged from behind the station and just as they did so the Preston started to face the cruiser again. "FIRE THE MAC NOW!" Frazer screamed at Tiffany.

"Firing now sir." Tiffany said, as she spoke the ship shook with a MAC round leaving the ship. The MAC round impacted the cruiser with great effect instantly taking down the shield of the ship due to it being a SSAK-79 grade weapon. "Destroyers in firing range now sir." Tiffany reported to Frazer as he moved over to the holo table. The MAC rounds that fired from the destroyers impacted the battlecruiser with a loud thud, the Covenant battlecruiser shook like a earthquake and then it started to rip apart. The Battlecruiser managed to fire one more plasma round. It flew and took out one of the destroyers bridge. The destroyer started to drift towards the planet out of control. "Sir they have taken out the UNSCS Pelican, it is uncontrollably plummeting to the planet. The Covenant battlecruiser is ripping in half as we speak. What are our orders?" Tiffany asked Frazer as he looked in respect for his fallen comrades.

"We will remember you." Frazer said in a whisper to himself then he looked back up at his crew and turned his head to Tiffany. "Fire the second MAC cannon, lets take this ship out for good! Whats the report on the evacuation proceedings Tiff?"

"Firing now sir and the evacuation is seventy percent complete." As Tiffany finished the ship again shook with a MAC round leaving the cannon below. The MAC round flew into the Covenant battlecruiser and a massive flame erupted from the cruiser, the Covenant ship broke off into many pieces and hurtled towards the planet below. The Preston's bridge crew erupted in a raw of victory.

"We did it sir! The Covenant ship has been totally destroyed and evacuations are coming to a close." Tony said to Frazer as he put his arm on his shoulder.

"Aye we did. Well done everyone. Tiffany bring the ship..." Frazer was interrupted by Tiffany.

"Sir a Covenant heavy corvette has jumped into the system and we cannot slip space out after the damage we received. The expected arrival of the corvette is five minutes and ticking, orders?"

"Keep the ship at red alert, prime the MAC cannons and have archer missiles ready on my mark. After we have destroyed this ship contact command as we will need to get out here fast just in case they bring reinforcements. Also contact me once the evacuations are complete. Trayner take the ship to the port side of the station and be ready for aversive manoeuvres on my mark. Dean contact the station they have twelve minutes to get all the scientists off the station. Tiffany get me a line with the UNSCS Antelope." The crew nodded and then Tiffany spoke.

"Sir your live with Antelope. Make it short though not sure if we want to be messing around." As Tiffany finished Frazer moved over to the comm table and spoke through the microphone.

"UNSCS Antelope this is the UNSCS Preston. A heavy Covenant corvette has slip spaced into the area and is approaching quite fast. Maybe we they are scouting us out before they send in the big fleet but I am not waiting till that moment. Your orders are to stay to the starboard side of the station and then when you see the opportunity attack with both MAC cannons. I am counting on you. York out." Frazer then moved back over to the captains chair and looked over to the holo table where he saw the heavy Covenant corvette come into visual range. The Covenant ship deployed boarding craft and they were sent hurting towards the Preston. A noise screeched from below. Covenant troops started to board the Preston. "ACTION STATIONS, ACTION STATIONS." Frazer repeated over the microphone.

"Sir enemy Covenant troops have boarded the lower decks. Should I send the marines to deal with them and give a general warning to the crew?"

"Yes Tiffany. Make it so, I want the Covenant off my dam ship now." Frazer moved over to the microphone. "Attention to all crew members. Enemy troops have boarded in the lower decks. Be wary of we're you go and always have a weapon on you. Captain out." Frazer then came to the captains chair. "Dean tell the commanding officer of the UNSCS Antelope to engage the corvette. After we have taken down their shields have them engage with the MAC cannons. Tiffany fire the archer pods on anymore boarding craft coming to us. Trayner half-ahead turn so we are facing the Covenant ship. Lets send these Fu***r home."

"Yes sir." The bridge crew replied. The Preston moved in orbit of the corvette and as this was happening more boarding craft were heading towards the ship. Some archer missiles took out a lot of the craft but some of them got through. The marines thought and held the main decks and ship and slowly pushed them back due to the marines having more man power. The last pelican that was evacuating the scientists left the station and landed on the Preston. "Sir all civilians encountered for, orders?"

"Excellent! Fire the a MAC round at the heavy corvette now. Keep the archer missiles taking out the boarding craft, I don't want a single covie left on this ship."

"Alright firing." Tiffany said as a round left the ship once more. As it did so the UNSCS Antelope moved so they could get their shots in on the ship. The MAC round impacted the corvette and straight away the ship started to crumble and plummeted towards the planet in many pieces. Too many to count. "Sir enemy corvette destroyed and the UNSCS Antelope is standing down. All decks are pretty much clear but we have suffered heavy marine causalities. Evacuation complete awaiting your orders." The Bridge crew of the Preston clapped and cheered and sat back down as Frazer stood up.

"Well done each everyone of you. Due to everyone on this ship and the other ships, dead or alive, we have managed to keep important ONI scientists alive. I wouldn't been able to do this without any of you thank you. Dean send my thanks to the Antelope and tell them to follow us staying in formation. Trayner set a bearing of 313 and half ahead. We are going home. Tony you have the deck."

"Yes sir. Right Tiffany send a message to..." Frazer walked out as Tony gave orders to Tiffany. It had been a very long day and Frazer was very tired. Frazer made his way towards his captains cabin. The door to the cabin opened and Frazer walked in. He went straight to the bathroom and splashed water on his face and looked in the mirror. Frazer was surprised he survived but didn't complain. He undressed, hung up his uniform and collapsed on his bed. He looked up towards the ceiling and closed his eyes. The Preston and Antelope moved into a UNSC system and docked at a dry dock for repairs and the scientists were taken off the ship to a ONI facility. It would take weeks for the Preston to be active again but the crew deserved some time off they relaxed and awaited there next orders.
