Solving One

CCS-class Cruiser.

In the enormous hangar at the center of the ship, on the left side of its belly.

The space was vast, filled with countless small carrier-based aircraft and U-shaped transports.

All the craft were dark purple, light purple, or pink.

The 'pilots' operating these carrier-based aircraft were an elite species clad in blue sealed armor.

The 'ground crew' consisted of Grunts and Gnolls. They drove hover vehicles resembling human forklifts, loading energy canisters onto the carrier-based aircraft.

After all, the Covenant's technology was mainly based on plasma and energy weapons. Only the Brutes liked using ballistic weapons, so this hangar stored a huge number of energy canisters.

More importantly, the two entrances on the left bulkhead of the hangar were 'membranes' that offered a clear view of the Space Sector outside and emitted a faint glow.

Carrier-based aircraft leaving or returning to the ship passed smoothly through these 'membranes' to enter or leave the CCS-class Cruiser's hangar.

Yet the hangar did not lose pressure, as if those faintly glowing 'membranes' could perfectly replace human decompression chambers.

"Boom~--!"

An explosion interrupted the Grunts, Gnolls, and elite 'pilots' who had been busily, and somewhat comically, loading energy canisters onto the Covenant carrier-based aircraft.

Ten Blood Ravens, dragging their 'mangled' bodies, blasted open the doors blocking their path and reached the enormous hangar.

A large number of Covenant pursuers followed close behind, crowding into the not particularly spacious corridor along the deck.

The Blood Raven who had previously suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head had already regained consciousness.

But he swayed as he ran and could barely keep his balance, showing that his head had sustained serious damage.

Apparently realizing that he would drag his brothers down, the injured Blood Raven stumbled and fell to the ground.
