Battle of Algolis

The Battle of Algolis was a skirmish that took place in the Algolis System at an unknown point int he Human-Covenant War. The Covenant forces boarded the UNSC destroyer Heart of Midlothian and killed the crew in their entirety save on ODST, Michael Baird. Baird was in the surgery unit and was informed by the ship's A.I., Mo Ye, that she was unable to self-destruct as per the Cole Protocol due to a restriction placed on her by the first of Asmiov's Laws of Robotics. Mo Ye guided Baird to the bridge of Midlothian whereupon an Elite was "tricked" into killing Baird so as to allow Mo Ye to destroy the ship. As a result of Midlothian's self-destruction the Covenant battle group that surrounded it was completely destroyed.
