While my transport was 97% full, the tower control sadly informed the pilots that the Reapers had already breached the gate and parking lot of the facility and were literally banding on our front doors.

"Alright! All passengers aboard." One of the crewmen told me from the video screen.

"Ok. I'll alert the Spartans across the bay." I told him. I put on my headset and turned on the comm connection. "This is Evac Transport Delta 1-5. my engines are green and awaiting your go." I said, putting engine chargers at maximum.
"Copy, we only have two more batteries to arm now." A UNSC Spartan said on the com. Before I could answer I saw Reapers attacking The tower inside while some started to run up to my transport ship.
"Sir, I've got Reapers banging on my bay doors.." I said with a sigh.

"I've got families and wounded on board, I gotta get airborne." An adult pilot said in a frightened tone.

"Easy Delta 1-5. The Spartans will clear the skies. The soldier reassured him.
"The reapers had taken over the tower!"' A controller said in a panicked rush.

The Reaper had made it up to the transports ship docking pad and started firing at us.
"Computer, intensify deflector shields," I said.
"Command confirmed." The system responded.
"Ok transports. The missiles guns should fire at The Reapers and their ship by you guys in a few seconds." Alex said.
"Commander the Reapers are almost through my shields!" Another pilot said on a transport ship a few rows down the docks.
"That's it! they breached my shields!" I said looking at my shield indicators.
"Almost.... THEIR!! Ray gun batteries and missile defenses, online. All evac transports, you are cleared for takeoff, repeat you are CLEARED for taking off, go NOW!"

Holding the yoke with one hand I gripped the center throttle with the other and pushed it forward, igniting the fusion engines. Like the other transport ships, I lifted quickly off the ground, my gear retracting, turning the ship around as I did so with blue lines of energy bullets firing at the Reaper ship above me I headed the transport ship toward open water. Flying through the port I saw the missiles lunch at the Reaper ship above me, it lost all power and started falling in flames. With the other transport ships in front of me I flew by the bullet shot ray gun batteries and looked at the Spartans through the window of the flight deck.

"Civilian transports are away." I smirked. "You saved a lot of lives today Spartans." I said, climbing up past the clouds and into space as I followed the other ships.

With Nation 1 growing smaller behind me I flew through space, following the other ships to the orbiting Civilian Safe Space Station. Setting the transport ship on auto I pulled out my G4, getting a visual call from Siobhan and Grace.

"Hey guys... Looks like I got a little off track on my way to the Mountain lunch bay starship hangars." I said with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of my head.
"I'll say." Grace replied, a sigh in her voice.
"So how's it going down there?" I asked.
"Not good I'm afraid. We made it to the launch bay hangars and finally got control of the place. But when we started the initialization of sequencing to open the doors, 3 massive Reaper ships began a bombardment of firing their death rays at the mountain bay doors. If we lunch, even with full shields up, under so much fire all of them will get destroyed." Siobhan explained.
I sighed, narrowing my eyes as the ship neared the station. They just can't give up can they.

"Well I just talked to admiral Pixy and he said the main fleet of the u.n.s.c is finally here. They are on standby because they are coordinating with the army unites on the ground for a mass take down." I said tapping onto the control touch pad.
"Well they better hurry. I don't know how much longer the blast doors can hold."
"Operative Grace! The ships above us have started firing at our satellites!" A person yelled in the background, the noise endless fire power became a lot louder.
"Connection failure... Connection compromised."
