As Scott pulled himself up from the rubble his side and chest protested, sending white hot searing pain through his spine. He screamed in pain "Ah, i broke my ribs". He cursed under his breath. He pulled himself up, taking short and shallow breathes. Scott noticed that the floor was very hot. He saw a shimmering near the left side of the bridge. He also noticed he was on of if not he only survivor of the bridge. He walked briskly over to the shimmering, and saw what was casting the light. "I-*pained groan* need of the bridge". "C-captain" Scott turned around and noticed an officer had been crushed in two, and there was a large amount of blood pooling under him. "C-c-captain, *cough* father." It dawned on Scott that his 22 year old son was the one crushed in half from the waist down. His son coughed again, and out came a substantial amount of blood.

"Y-yes son!?" He said before running over to his son "Fathe-r h-help me." "Yes soldier, anything." His son reached his free arm around and pulled off his dog-tags off and held out his hand."Give these to mother". Scott now tears welling up in his eyes, took his sons tags. His son, Kazuma then started to breathe very shallowly,"It's b-been an honor serving with you sir". He said as he saluted his father with one hand, and in his other, a service pistol. "Likewise s-son. I love you son" " You t-too dad" his son said.

His father left the bridge and halfway down the hallway leading to the observation deck 30 feet away, he heard the loud BANG of a gun followed by a sickening thud.
He continued walking, and when he looked out of the veiwport, he almost fell over in shock. "Oh my-" He stared in horror as he saw his ship had been cut in half, and he saw bodies, frozen while others were charred and missing limbs. He saw blood, and gore floating in space. He choked down his own vomit, looking away. He turned into the main corridor, And started walking towards the secondary bridge. On his way there he heard the alarms blaring seeing people, both wounded, and in body bags on stretcher. Time seemed to move in slow motion as he walked forward. A large, and echoing BOOM rock the ship. Someone walked in a dazed way out of a room 50 feet up on fire, and fell down in the hallway.

He made it to the secondary bridge and told the ships A.I. to relay a distress call. "Yes sir. All ships, repeat all ships, Human, and Sangheli alike, This is the UNSC Eclipse we have been fired upon by an unknown and extremely powerful vessel, we request immediate assistance." Scott left the secondary bridge leaving the A.I. to repeat the message until someone responds. He went to the medbay, and gasped when he walked in. He walked forward seeing a man who had been near one of the explosions

The man's left side had been charred and some parts of his arm had his clothes burnt onto him, glowing red. his right side leg had been blown of by shrapnel, and was bleeding profusely, the doctor attempting to amputate it. "Captain to bridge, repeat captain to bridge." The captain practically sprinted to the bridge." "What is it ice" "Well sir we are picking up a slipsace rupture".
