A bit unexpected of an update, but writing my book is taking longer than expected (I’m at 71k out of 100k planned words for my first draft). Didn’t get into that trade program, I’m in college now. Finished First Strike, almost done with Ghosts of Onyx (man that is just straight HEAT from Nylund). I also need to edit some of the previous chapters heavily (any discrepancies you see now will be fixed later, probably).
Special shoutout to Thecustodie on Wattpad for doing the Spanish translation, Los Pecados de un Imperio Galáctico.

Subject: Suggested Revisions To General Order 098831A-1 ("The Cole Protocol")
Classification: EYES ONLY TOP SECRET
Lord Hood,
As you’re well aware, unlike the war against the Covenant and despite the unfortunate turn of events at the Battle of Alpha Rendara’s conclusion, the current war against the Galactic Republic is no longer an existential threat to the continued survival of Humanity.
Despite this important difference, the continued secrecy of the location of the colonies remains paramount. Not one staff officer with half a brain would disagree with that assessment.
Additionally like the war against the Covenant, however, there are technologies which we cannot let fall into enemy hands.
It remains in our interest to not let Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engines of any model fall into enemy hands, or allied, for that matter.
It is my belief that the possible capture and study of our slipspace technologies would lead to the loss of our tactical and strategic advantages. It's only a matter of time before some scientist of theirs cracks the quantum calculations needed for the particle accelerators. I’d bet good money they already have some of their alleged Givin physicists on it.
For the purposes of the war in Andromeda and, God forbid, any further engagements in the Milky Way against the forces of the Galactic Republic, I propose the following amendments to General Order 098831A-1 as requested, attached below, major changes bolded:
/Start Draft/
The Cole Protocol (Revised Draft, Andromeda Campaign)
To safeguard and protect the Earth and her colonies, all UNSC vessels or stations must not be captured with intact navigation databases that may lead hostile forces to civilian population centers.
If any hostile forces are detected:
1. Activate selective purge of databases on all ship-based and planetary data networks.
2. Initiate triple-screen check to ensure all data has been erased and all backups neutralized.
3. Execute viral data scavengers.
4. If retreating from Covenant forces, all ships must enter Slipstream space with randomized vectors NOT directed toward Earth, the Colonies, or any other human population center.
Subsection 10 (I’d dub this the ‘Iroquois Clause,’ ask Keyes what he thinks of that one): All retreating ships must be screened for tracking devices before final arrival at human population centers whenever possible.
5. In case of imminent capture by hostile forces and boarders, all UNSC ships MUST self-destruct.
Subsection 8: All slipspace drives in danger of capture MUST be destroyed, or retrieved if possible
Violation of this directive will be considered an act of TREASON and pursuant to UNSC Military law articles JAG 845-P and JAG 7556-L, such violations are punishable by life imprisonment or execution.
/End Draft/
I understand that there are certain strategic considerations with regards to transportation of Confederate forces aboard UNSC ships. After all, I am not one predisposed to paranoia. SUCKERPUNCH was as much of a political victory as a strategic one, UNSC forces blazing a path through Andromeda for our Confederate allies, striking at systems long-deemed ‘safe’ from enemy incursion, but we were lucky. The ground op could’ve gone wrong more ways than I can count. I must admit that it might be necessary in the future to ferry their combat robots and fighter drones into battle, risk of espionage be damned.
Regardless of my proposed changes, there are still unavoidable OPSEC challenges. Within the Milky Way, there are over three dozen sizable pirate and splinter groups operating in the remnants of the Covenant empire with the profit incentive to turn over slipspace technology and/or colonial coordinates. Not to mention Earth, an open secret at this point.
Counterintelligence efforts should be undertaken to prevent Republic AND Separatist procurement feelers alike from operating within the Milky Way.
The Milky Way’s more unknown to us than known. It’s fully conceivable the Republic could even now be creating listening posts and forward staging areas for actions in UEG territory anywhere in the galaxy. As you know, GUARDIAN isn’t infallible and space is massive. Not to mention the peculiarities with their ‘hyperdrives.’ For all we know, there could be a navigational route straight from 23 Librae to Sol.
I’ll leave it up to your discretion to modify this draft, particularly the penalties contained within, and anything else as you see fit, but as far as the fleets under my command are concerned, we will not let slipspace drives fall into foreign hands.
Godspeed,
Cole
We can’t seem to bust the encrypt scheme on this carrier wave, if it’s UNSC, it’s just barely.
A COM probe? Don’t we have Waypoint now? Where’d it come from?
Maybe get Section I on that?
And let the eggheads ruin our fun?
Let’s crack it open, then.

Subject: UNSC Flagword ‘MAGICIAN’
Classification: RESTRICTED (BGX DIRECTIVE)
Flagword MAGICIAN is a UNSC flagword to be declared following confirmation of a Jedi presence on the battlefield at the brigade/regiment level of command, pending the immediate priority deployment of all available non-nuclear tactical and strategic assets for the purpose of neutralizing aforementioned confirmed hostile Jedi presences on the battlefield.
For protocols regarding the use of flagword MAGICIAN in the field, see attached field manual.

1. Strauss: With the distinct likelihood of joint UNSC/CIS coalition forces encountering Jedi on the battlefield, proactive measures must be taken to ensure our personnel know how to handle them.
Leveraging all available tactical, and even strategic, munitions will ensure that the force multiplication (no pun intended) afforded to Republic formations by Jedi can be negated.
It is likely in the event flagword MAGICIAN is declared, this indicates an imminent collapse of the frontlines. Like a call for final protective fires, a verified request for a MAGICIAN declaration takes priority over anything else until the threat is neutralized.
Thoughts on this, General Hogan?
1. Hogan: Makes sense to me. Push it up to NAVCOM and the rest of the Security Council will go over it.

3. Osman: True enough, MGEN, but let’s make sure our combined intel can prevent something like that from having a chance of happening again. We were fortunate NAVSPECWEP got wind of it before UPPER CUT happened. Had they not, perhaps Reach would’ve been a disaster. Compromise?
4. Hogan: Let’s hear it, shall we?

Re: Foerost Siege
On 15:5:12, atypical increased activity within the Foerost Shipyards Cordon Zone was noted by multiple picket ships.
Conglomerated data transcript of irregular events in Galactic Standard Time is as follows:
0455: Trace bursts of black-body radiation detected by the instruments of RAS Gravitel, RAS Spichne, & RSD Lysanna in high orbit of Foerost
0500: Increased encrypted comms chatter between Separatist forces (decryption still underway)
0633: Increased movement noted between the shipyards and surface of Foerost by resource hauler vessels
0658: Resource hauler vessels now in a frenzied state, multiple near-collisions observed by scout vessels
0727: Trace bursts of black-body radiation detected by multiple Republic vessels coinciding with the anomalous readings near the terminator line of Foerost by the crystal gravfield trap sensor array of the RSD Opticon
1138: Visual confirmation of increased activity on Foerost’s orbital ring stardocks by light cruiser Arbetain
1139: Light cruiser Arbetain attempts sensor-focus scan of previously identified blindspots
1140: Enemy electronic countermeasures intensify, Arbetain retreats back to main cordon line
Relevant data attached.
As of 15:5:13 1200 Galactic Standard Time, the Foerost Shipyards remain in an increased state of activity. Republic forces are remaining in position to maintain the comms blackout around the planet. Orbital screens erected around the shipyards hamper further monitoring efforts, long-range scans inconclusive.
Based upon the attacks conducted by UNSC stealth ships from 15:5:2 to 15:5:4 and the intelligence gleaned therefrom, my analysts have concluded that the UNSC have managed to penetrate the blockade of Foerost utilizing a ‘slipspace’ drive to relay orders to the shipyards, the exact content of which likely contains instructions to prepare a breakout.
Recommended course of action:
Tighten the blockade.

Speaker For The Dead
Mrs. Alejandra Feng,
We regret to inform you that your son, Danny Feng, was killed in action on the world of Taris at 1:03PM Tantalus Standard Time, May 4th, 2561.
Unfortunately, he and his squad had been pinned down in the ruins of an apartment complex during the final hours of the battle. I, alongside the rest of the men of 2nd Platoon, were unable to reach his position under heavy fire from enemy forces. From across the city block, I saw him brave enemy fire to single-handedly destroy over seven enemy vehicles while the rest of his squad was incapacitated. At this point, he had been severely wounded by enemy fire on two separate occasions during the course of the battle.
He later succumbed to plasma burns after receiving last rites in a field hospital. The 105th has lost one of its best.
He bravely discharged his duties in protecting his brothers in arms, going above and beyond in his fulfillment of what every man should aspire to be. He selflessly laid down his life to hold off the enemy advance, saving the countless lives of his fellows.
If it is any consolation, I have submitted a citation up the chain of command for your son to be awarded the Colonial Cross alongside his promotion to Lance Corporal. Such bravery under fire should never be forgotten.
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.
First Lieutenant Alvin Murphy, 2nd Platoon, B Company, 2nd Battalion, 105th Shock Troops Division

A Tattered Envelope
To His Holiness Pius XV,
Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of Vatican City, Servant of the Servants of God.
Most Holy Father,
I pray that this letter finds you, and I pray yet further still that it finds you well.
News, as always, has been slow to reach us. I was horrified to learn of the destruction of one of the UEG’s colonies, how terrible an act! One not seen since the alien heathens tried to exterminate the very human race! How bitter this war will make so many.
As to your other queries, it becomes more and more difficult to exchange our correspondences, the Republic’s Senate Bureau of Intelligence and their Military Intelligence have become more adept, unfortunately, at apprehending our couriers.
I suspect this is in response to your recent exhortation for both sides in this conflict to come to the peace table, to end this slaughter over a question of sovereignty, if not for the Church’s long-standing condemnation of Human cloning.
The Church is no stranger to difficulty in times of war, yet I worry this difficulty in communication will expand to a much greater problem. We are both well enough versed in the history of the Church to know that these transgressions of the rights of the Church, in the name of governmental security or not, which seem so minor to the eyes of worldlings, can easily become something far worse.
I worry much about my flock, Holy Father. I worry that the limiting of Church activity will go beyond treating our couriers as spies. I worry it will go beyond even the unjust seizure of Church property and the detainment of priests calling for an end to the war in their homilies. I worry it will become something far more diabolical.
I foresee catacombs in the future, Holy Father. Catacombs like the early Christians in Rome, the Kakure Kirishitan, the English recusants and the other unfortunate souls stuck in protestant territory, those under the rule of the revolutionary governments of the Spanish and French, the Soviets, and the Koslovics.
I foresee that, as always, the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
Perhaps I speak foolishly and prematurely about the future that only God knows, yet I cannot help but feel this way, no matter how much I bid our Lord to take this thorn away.
Despite my worries, I urge you, Your Holiness, to continue your cries for peace. I fear for the fate of incalculable souls within this new galaxy to which I have come as a stranger in a strange land. The sooner God sees fit to grant us peace, the sooner I believe I will be able to execute more fully the mission handed to me by our most gracious Lord through the noble office given to me as successor to His Apostles.
Before the conflict between the United Earth Government and the Republic began, countless souls throughout both Republic and Confederate territories joined our Lord’s Mystical Body, receiving the exhortation of doctrine and Baptism, and partaking in the rest of the sacraments in a manner no doubt most pleasing to our Lord.
This galaxy is a fertile field, but as our Lord has said, the harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. There is much work to be done, Your Holiness. The sooner priests and bishops can freely move about the galaxy to carry out the work of God unhindered, the better.
As always, I have the hope of God within my soul.
Truly, my heart tells me that from here, many dominions will be converted, for here is the capital wherein the devil has his main seat, in this planet where it seems the fruitful hand of God has been so opposed by the vain artifices and pinnacles erected in imitation of Babel.
Once this planet has been subdued and mastered, the rest of this pagan galaxy will be easy.
Your son in holy obedience,
Archbishop Christophe Marie Joseph Bernard
