SEPTEMBER 17TH 2528
UWN (United World News)

Reporter Elizibeth Carlsburg on scene.
"It is frantic on the scene here Jack. From what we have been able to figure it it appears that there has been a terrorist bombing at the UNSC Admiralty Summet. From what we can tell, Admirals Rich, Hood, Simmons, Daniel, and Generals Kits, McDeen, and Anderson are all dead. Several more officers have been wounded."
"Turn that off." Vice Admiral Parangotsky told the junior officer standing at attention near the door to the room.
"So what does this mean for me?" asked the Rear Admiral.
"You are next in line to take command."she stated bluntly.
"Of...everything?"he asked bewildered.
"Your record is clean Michael, and right now we need the best. That is you,"she said pointing a finger at his chest.
Inside his chest the now Admiral Michael Peterson's heart beat faster.
"Well then,"he said "I'd better get to FLEETCOM on Reach and get started...I never did like the wall paper in there. I guess now is the chance for a new decor."
With that Michael took one last look out the window of the 70 story appartment. He stepped out of the room where the two MPs who were guarding the room allowed him to pass, after another search.
Felt the slight tug of gravity as the elevator quickly decended the 70 floors in seconds. Got in his black Cadillac and began a drive in the dark night to FLEETCOM.
It was a quiet night for all the blood that had been spilled.
Police, Planetary Guard, Army, Marines, even a few ODSTs were all on the scene of one of the biggest assassinations in history. They were all looking for answers, and likely would never find any.
All of the big names of the UNSC were in one room, for one meeting, with 2 big purposes. How to deal with the Insurectionalist threat, and what to do about the Covenant. They hadn't talked for 7 minutes before explosives placed below each of their chairs blew up:Killing anyone sitting down.
The only Admirals apparently NOT killed were the retired Vice Admiral Cole, and Michael. Michael hadn't commanded anything after Sigma Octulous. Even after 5 years the scene was still fresh in his mind...now he was supposed to command the entire UNSC?
Michael was pulled out of his thoughts when he realized he was at his destination. Fleet Com HQ. Olympus Tower.
This is one of my first fan fictions with a very broad goal and story. The main premise is the entireity of the Admiralty of the UNSC was killed in a terrorist attack. Very few Admirals survived. The few that did were Vice Admiral Cole, and Rear Admiral Michael Peterson. As Peterson is the only on duty Admiral remaining. He is now in command of the UNSC. This will drasically affect the outcome of the Human Covenant war. And the tactics and weapons the UNSC will use.
