"Grace, Linda, and Sergeant Johnson: Get that Covenant
drop-ship ready for its last flight. Reinforce the hull for a
Slipspace-to-normal-space transition.
"And I'll take this plan to Admiral Whitcomb—make him see
that it's the only way. We're going to take this fight to the Cove-
nant. We're going to launch a first strike."
