    It would only help them in terms of retreat, and it's worth noting that Covenant ships are more or less in a state of unpreparedness once they've finished a slipspace jump. Imperial Ships are disoriented, but can finish a Warp Jump at full battle stations, guns loaded and shields up.

    Then there's High Carity itself, which does not boast a comparable FTL and sublight speed maneuverability. Assuming the Imperials manage to follow a Covenant ship back to it at any point, I'd say we're looking at the Terminator Company teleporting into the High Council scenario outlined earlier.

    Obviously not right into a meeting or anything, but the point is, less than all the Prophets are likely to survive the experience.

    Favorite Things Mr. Welch can't do during an RPG:
    • My monk's lips must be in sync.
    • Collateral Damage Man is not an appropriate concept for a super hero.
    • No longer allowed to recreate the Death Star Trench Run out of genre.
    • When accepting a challenge for a duel, I must allow the other guy time to find a pistol.
    • Check the door means to listen at it, not put several rounds through it.
    • We will not implement any plan that includes the words "And hope they miss a lot"
