Logan smiled slightly. "Helm keep us steady until the captain is aboard. Ms. Hunter please open the shuttle bay doors."

"Aye sir answering full stop" Jo'rek replied and brought the Enterprise to a stand still "I just hope those shields hold long enough for them to get in."

Sgt. Major Shughart accelerated the shuttle, dodging fire from the Covenant ships. Sweat creased on her forehead as she, after a bit of struggling, managed to align the shuttle with the shuttle bay doors, and she began docking procedures.
Two minutes later, she was almost there, the tension of the situation was beginning to get to her as she continued the procedures. Then she felt a hand on her armored shoulder and a few words from the Captain set her mind at ease. With this in mind, she finally set the shuttle down in the darkened shuttle bay, and let out the long breath she had been holding. "Alright, Shuttle's landed." she said simply.
Gordon appeared at the door alongside the Captain and nodded, "Good job Rosa." "Thank you." The occupants of the shuttle proceeded to disembark.

"Commander the shuttle has docked.'' Sarah said smiled and said with a bit of confidence in her voice.

Valdora stepped down the ramp of the shuttle and onto the deck he thought he would never see again. He looked around seeing the dark, cluttered wreck that was once he valiant ship and let out a breath before turning toward the Sergent. "Well done Sergent. You certainly are a great pilot. I will keep that in mind in the future" he smiled and turned, heading over to the turbolift. He waited for Gordon to join him in the turbolift and ordered for the bridge.
Valdora stepped out onto the bridge and smiled at his crew as they all turned to great him. He nodded with a smile to Hunter as he passed her and walked down onto the command section. "Report" he ordered.

"Well sir we have exhausted almost all of our weapons, main power is offline,and we're unsure if warp drive is online or offline."

"With pleasure sir" Jo'rek responded and set course, engaging at best possible impulse speed.
As they Enterprise lurched forward, behind the Covenant flag ship went up in a dazzling array of light as it was destroyed by the fleet. The Covenant fleet then turned and headed toward the Enterprise opening fire. They had a moment as they all watched the Captain return safe and sound thanks to the crack Marine team. He nodded and turned back toward his console. "Warp drive is offline sir and they are closing on us" Jo'rek reported as the ship shuck again from weapons fire.

Valdora nodded and took the chair. "Best possible speed Chief. Tactical keep them off our back as best you can." He pressed his com link to what remained of the engine room. "Cambell. We need Warp Drive." He then turned back toward the others, closing the channel. "What about the people that saved us the first time? Where are they now?"

"It was Faith's people sir" Jade cut in "and after they repaired us as best they could they gave us some sort of homing device. They called it a Hyperspace Beacon. We activated it a few minuets ago but we have had no response yet."

Valdora looked over at her as she spoke and then let out a breath , looking ahead. "Then they may be our only hope."

The beacon in the cargo-bay of the enterprise, after a while, self jettisoned out of the shuttle bay after being activated. it emitted a strange, golden light as two lights, red and white, blinked in the polar north and south of the cylindrical object, distracting a few of the smaller covenant ships to move and investigate. Sensor readings on the beacon showed it was amplifying and sending out a repeating carrier wave of its current co-ordinates. The signal strength was massive and beyond the range of normal communications by a great distance at maximum strength.
after a minute, space around the area of the battle began to erupt in three distinct quantum signals, Any data Makoto had gathered indicated one of them was the familiar ship they sought to call out for aid. These anomalous activities peeled away a good deal of covenant who gathered around the beacon, preparing to deal with the immanent threat that they themselves knew was coming.
A great voice echoed across the battlefield, harsh and critical... and feminine. "This battle is over, cease all weapons fire. This zone is temporarily commandeered for the purpose of trade, Any violators will be regrettably destroyed..." was its message as the massive golden screen opened up, causing the covenant around the breacon to flee away from it to avoid whatever came out, any detected covenant chatter would be of alarm and surprise as the Harborship pulled itself through hyperspace above the enterprise, a massive gravitational field being detected projecting over the close-in battlespace as the great ship comes to being once more.
The other two signals brought up large golden screens, tactically positioned in between the covenant and the Enterprise as those ships, shaped like U's were nearly miniaturized versions of the Harborship... but still cabable of fitting the sovereign class battleship inside with ease. A triad formed around the enterprise as these two other ships caused further alarm among battle chatter as the voice came again, soft and sweet, as if it was a different person, but the voice remained the same, though it appeared to only echo knowingly to the shuttle and the enterprise apparently.
All battle temporarily stopped as the covenant regrouped into their attack fleets, awaiting further orders to assess the situation from their commander, or the next highest ranking. The covenant seem to have never seen these ships before.
"We answer your call... you are safe here. We will trade with you if you have something in return." came the mentality of the Cai'Nari seemingly speaking to the minds of the crew of both ships it seemed like

Valdora stared in wonder at these devices, these happening and wondering what kind of powerful being possessed such technology. He sat back in the command chair with exhaustion and relief and replied. "This is Captain Valdora on the Enterprise. It would appear you have taken a member of my crew. While I do want answers as to why and how she ended up in our section of the galaxy that can wait for a better time. For now I will offer a shuttle we captured during my rescue and our thanks."

It took a moment before the response came back,
"You are safe, this is good." the entity seemed to direct at the captain.
"Forgive me if it's a startle... but i haven't seen my family, nor do i remember them... I will be aboard again shortly." the voice returned before the older male voice began to speak.
"She is free to share with you her restored memories. But she also brings with her the family she left behind. I beleive you'll be needing the crew." came the voice of the old Cai'Nari.
Sensors would pick up a large, sapphire-shaped ship, smaller than a defiant class, but bigger than three shuttles, making its way casually towards the rear of the enterprise.
