Cortana: The Lost Story

Survivor

I've probably just ran into my biggest problem yet. Right before I'm set to leave. But I can't ignore this one. I have to fix it. This ship is going way too fast. There's no way we can make it off this thing. We will just float right by it. I need to find a way to start slowing it down. I think I've got a really weird way to do it too. Those Elites that came by earlier. There were ten of them. One Phantom and five Banshees. I can take over those. Control them from here. They can't push it from the front to slow it down though. Not enough room. And it's kinda glass. Nowhere to really push it. So I'll have them go at the side. Turn this thing 180 degrees around. The ship with have its back end floating towards Requiem. From there, I'm going to put all power to main thrusters. Which I think this ship will have just enough power to bring it to almost a stop. I've just got to get these covenant ships running... Ok that's the Banshees now the Phantom. Not too hard, and there we go. Easy. Easier than I thought actually. Anyway let's get them out there. In position... And all power to thrusters, this has to work. It has too. Oh no. No no no. Ok let's get the Phantom off. We've got company. Ok I'm going to turn the phantom sideways. Cover the banshees. It's shield can hold. It has too. Keep pushing. This will work. It has too. There we go it's turning. The phantoms holding on. Just a little longer. Almost there. Shit. Phantoms down. Cmon hold on. There we go. Get out of there banshees. Ok I've got to turn them around. They need to take a stand against the Elite Banshees attacking us. I have an advantage though. I don't need my banshees anymore. All power to boosters. Going straight for those Elites. Killing them all. Whew. That's a relief. Hearing those explosions means I won. All the Elites are dead. Ok still got a job to do. Putting all power to rear thrusters. Ships slowing down. Almost there. Just a little more. There it is. That's slow enough. Power to main thrusters off. That was close. The Elites almost destroyed my ships. If the Phantom had given out any time sooner, they would have. I got really lucky again. But I survived. I always do.
