"Yes Halo, that was the last of them there retreating. And no, the hive wasn't destroyed. Now if you'll excuse me, there's business on the homeplanet I must attend to."
Pat's ship leaves.
"Heh, so we are just gonna let them escape? I've sent my longsword fighters to mop up the retreating ships. I'l head to the swarm planet, get my remaining troops off the planet, and figure out what to do with that swarm hive." From the docking bay, he sees his longsword fighters jet into the distance after the escaping swarm ships.
He boards his dropship, and heads towards the swarm planet, but as it comes into view he sees a bright blue rippling throughout the planet from an unseen ship, then suddenly explodes in a massive array of dust. Who would order such an attack? The swarm wouldn't destroy their own planet like that. There were still hundreds of soldiers on the surface. Halo had 114 soldiers, pilots and crew on that planet.
Halo opens a com link to all allies,"This is Halo, to lieut pat, cannon, Kensai, and Blue Elite. Some unknown ship just completely obliterated the swarm planet. There were still allies and troops there. This couldn't have been the swarm. I recommend we find whoever did this."
