Could the UNSC Savannah been saved?

Think about it... That ship could have just left after the bomb was on the corvette. No other fighter patrols were coming in, because the one that came back was destroyed. Did the frigate stay to mop up fighters? Because I think that ship could have just left as soon as the team was on and all the covenant fighters were destroyed no?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cheeto666 I don't think it was on a refueling course before, I thought it was just on patrol. Besides, coms would have been restored when the Savannah was destroyed. If nothing else, the Carrier should have at least tried to reestablish contact with their ship. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] StealthSlasher2 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cheeto666 It's entirely possible that the Covenant, who are well known for their arrogance, didn't think the frigate was a threat, and decided to let the Corvette handle the [i]Savannah[/i]. The only real problem I see with the Carrier was that when you set it on a refueling course, they should have attempted to make some sort of contact with the Corvette. They should have been able to discover pretty quickly that humans had taken control of the ship, and blasted it to pieces well before it arrived. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Arbiter8282 I also thought that... The frigate and the corvette should have and would have been visible to the carrier. [/quote][/quote] The Corvette was already on its way to refuel prior to the attack was it not? Without comms there wouldn't have been any way of knowing that the Corvette was boarded and taken over. As far as the super carrier would be concerned the only thing they would know is that the human vessel was utterly destroyed, and the corvette then proceeded to limp back for refueling as it was originally supposed to.[/quote][/quote] To quote Holland "We've flagged a Corvette-class vessel on a predicted docking track with our target." Regardless of whether it was going back to dock for fuel or other supplies doesn't matter in the end. What does is the fact that the Corvette was already heading in the direction of the LNoS. As for comms they wouldn't be restored because you clear out the comm room personally. The Savannah was no longer jamming the ship by the time you enter the hanger as there was no need to. So while the LNoS may not be able to contact the Ardent Prayer all it had to work with was what could be seen visually. That said, the Savannah getting destroyed by doesn't clearly if at all convey the state of the Prayer's interior. If anything it just reinforces the notion/impression (for LNoS) that the Ardent Prayer was fine and had the situation under control with the lack of comms being chalked up to the damage it took from the Savannah and Sabers. With the situation looking fine and dandy on the exterior of the ship there would be no reason for the carrier to be suspicious of the corvette's approach given how it was originally heading to the carrier before fighting broke out.
