I hear NOVA-1, as in one of the two lieutenants leading Charlie Company (the second lieutenant would be NOVA-2) to retrieve the NOVA bomb, but repurposed to defend the generators. The man asking for NOVA-1 would thus be an admiral of some sort, since they need the marines to defend the generators so that the fight can keep going in space... but NOVA-1 was dead and Fred was talking to Whitcomb when they reached the generators, so Spartan-259 could have answered: This is Sierra-259. You've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere.
The flaw in this theory is that if C-Company was "Nova 1" they wouldn't be "in that fight" because they are after the Battle of Reach, in the aftermath. No?No... they were there before Reach fell (Reach fell when the generators did, in First Strike). He needed them in the fight to defend the generators, so the fight in space could continue (with the help of the MAC Cannons).
My info isn't recent, it's been about 2 years since I read FOR and FS. I still think it's Noble 1, but if it is Nova 1 your theory about C company is probably correct.
