In the first strike when the admiral and lieutenant take the convent flag ship and go near the space station to attract the convent warships to come closer, was it necessary for the admiral and lieutenant to actually be on that ship. I mean I know he was talking about the Alamo and how it was a strategic defeat but I don’t think they needed to be on the ship to get all the other war ships to come closer. Shouldn’t they have just copied cortana put her in the convent ship and have let her take the beating instead of losing the Admiral who was the head of all the UNSC navy and a lieutenant of the intelligence department. It would have just made more sense to me because the admiral had information that he needed to give and he could have easily been saved. And it’s an admiral how could he not have thought about it at the time.

Any answers to this?

i know that but you don't find it stupid that they made him die off like that? I mean think about it, it doesn't make sense just to kill him for no good reason.

They were on the ship because he deliberatly broadcasted himself to the rest of the fleet with a hologram of the slipspace crystal or "holy light". He needed to be there to make them think it wasnt a trick and also to make them think he had the artifact.

So what they couldn't have set up a video camera and taped a dummy tape and let cortana broadcast it. There were definitely ways around dieing.
