-UAC Everest-

The command bridge was bustling with high ranking UAC officials, after the incident in Utah, with Admiral Cole departing the Everest to retrieve his family, and just before a group of IRF Shock Troops arrived. Over hte past few days, Cole was at ONI being questioned about his actions, and what made him make the move he did, and had done a few checks of his mental stability, making sure it was not declining. It was not like ONI could do anything better. Removing Cole, one of the most widely known officials in the UAC, and the world would cause a large morale loss in the UAC, and no other official in the UAC could run the forces just like him, not even Admiral Whitcomb, commander of UACHIGHCOM.

To prevent any dangers to them, Cole's family was immediately moved to New Carthage, mainly to explain what had occurred over the past few years, and the recent Federation takeover.

Currently, while Cole was under questioning and examinations, Admiral Whitcomb assumed position as commander of the UAC forces for a while until Cole could be returned to duty.

One bold move the UAC had chosen to do, was to reveal the SPARTAN Program during the US operations, mainly to increase morale amongst soldiers, and to try and demoralize the Federation Forces with the super soldiers on the front lines. Due to the SPARTAN-IIs being difficult to come by, Alpha Company, consisting of 300 SPARTAN-IIIs were deployed to combat the Federation, while the SPARTAN-IIs continued their war on the IRF.

Though there would be some better news during this, the Department of Technology had finished making an optical cloaking device, capable of camouflaging a corvette sized vessel, and would be applied to UAC prowlers, along with the already implanted stealth systems.

Soon an notice came up on the bridge, and the Everest was ordered to an orbital dock for fitting new sets of magnetic coils on its MK-3 MACs, the vessel had been in service for years, and it was time to replace the coils, as reports during test firing said the charge wasn't as strong as it used to be. This was leading to new developments in magnetic accelerator cannon technology, with the UAC deciding to improve on them, with a goal to reduce recharging time by first 25%, and then 50%, allowing much better effectiveness in combat, and the tests would be commenced on the Everest, though it would be a while before the improved models reached ships. The plan was to do refits for most vessels, mainly new ships coming into service, and gradually replacing older models when the 50% reduction of charge came into service. The ship then settled into dock, for a week of refitting, and adding more modern equipment, as well as relieving the crew.
