@Burning Kitty@DriveEMOut@datadogie@Patient 43DeltaHey guys, still working on the OOC but here's a timeline to sum up what's happened so far.
November 7th 255721:59 Three unidentified human vessels enter from slipspace into the New Horizon system. All attempts to communicate are met with failure.
22:27 Vessels break through orbital defences and freefall to the surface, crashing in three separate continents.
23:24 Reports of violence spread planet-wide. Security forces maintain boarders.
November 9th 255709:00 ONI confirms biological outbreak. The UNSC begin full evacuation of New Horizon.
09:37 Sangheili and other alien races begin to evacuate from their embassies using human transport.
11:22 City of Titania is the first city to go completely dark. Reports indicate that there is still movement and heat signatures.
13:15 ONI confirms that the biohazard is the parasite known as the Flood.
13:15 Planet-wide quarantine is issued. All ships, whether civilian, diplomatic or military are grounded. Any vessel attempting to break quarantine are to be shot down without warning.
15:55 Director Michael Knight of Section I assumes command of operations in the New Horizon sector.
16:22 Councillor Radumee demands planetary glassing to ensure Flood infection does not spread to sister systems. – Knight refutes the purposely.
November 11th 255709:00 Seventy-Two of the One Hundred and Thirty-Two cities are summed deadzones. Those still alive flee to Malduwee, the only continent that doesn’t join onto any landmass that had initial outbreaks on.
10:00 Director Knight informs the UNSC Defence Council that the New Horizon is secure and that it would be foolish to waste this opportunity to further study the Flood.
13:30 Knight begins to contact surviving forces both human and otherwise. He offers rewards and vital resources, and in return task forces will complete assignments given.
14:25 Sangheili and other alien races issue an official complaint, informing the New Horizon was and still is a diplomatic zone and thus should have equal footing as to the fate of the planet.
November 13th 255708:00 After many meetings, the UNSCDC agree that due to the diplomatic importance of the planet – Sangheili Councillor Radumee – whom had been monitoring the situations from his battle cruiser may lead his own operations against the Flood but was not permitted to glass or directly interfere with Knight’s own operations. Radumee would use Knight’s tactics and rather sending new soldiers, he would use those already planet-side. However, his objectives were more focused on destroying the flood rather than study them.
November 15th 2557All but a few cities now remain. Constantly under siege from the Flood, it is only a matter of time before they fall.
