Project: Last Chance
Earth was in shatters as the covenant landed. Only the covenant weren't prepared for a new breed of SPARTAN's. Younger and more numerous than the SPARTAN II's they made the Covenant who landed regret it. But the Battle in the sky was different. One hundred human ships and only a hand few of Super MAC guns against a thousand Covenant war ships it was a little lopsided and the Covenant knew it. In secret the humans built a secret research lab in the core of the moon. Completely shielded from the Covenant onslaught looking for the key to victory the key to HALO.
Defense Zone 15 Time to attack: 1.2 min U.N.S.C. Trader Vessel Nightingale

The captain often wondered what 85 human warships and fifteen trading ships would do against that many covenant, and why his ship, a trade ship was given an A.I. as powerful as Sparticus
"Ever heard of sugar coating the bad stuff" retorted the captain.
"No I hav" but before he could finish the covenant attacked
"Sir, all covenant forces advancing at full speed, and charging weapons" an ensign said at almost the same time as the A.I.
The only thing the captain could think of saying was "Alert H.Q. and start shooting. We can't win but I doubt we could have won anyways. But we can at least keep them away from the moon."
Before any one could ask why the moon, one thousand nineteen covenant war ships opened fire on the small trade craft turning it and its crew to molten metal, plastic among other things.
