John listened to their conversation and decided to speak up. From what he heard, they were violent and needed to be stopped. It was a similar situation to the Insurrectionists in John's time.
"A good option would be to infiltrate their ships. Spartans used to infiltrate entire fleets and take them down from the inside out. Humans are still running the SPARTAN Program, aren't they?", John asked Joe.

"Spartan program? Never heard of it. From what I remember from history class, there was only like... a hundred...or was it fifty... Humans that arrived in Venturia five-hundred some trillion years ago. If none of them knew, then whatever that program was didn't come with them. Also the Galaxy did go through the natural phases of declines of technology. By the end of this war, I think we'll be plunged into the stone ages. Anyway, the way ships are, infiltrating them is possible, but you would have a hell of a time getting anywhere. Besides, a Iupiter Class is designed to handle anything. Internal Defenses can prevent anything from touching the core. Most of the higher class cruisers have that. So you might be able to get rid of the small fry with that tactic, but the big ones...nope. In short, as long as the main four classes remain in a fleet, then that fleet can get back up relatively quickly. These ships are designed to last for an eternity if need be. They're designed to fight this war to the last."

John frowned slightly at Joe's comment. John was used to infiltrating ringworlds and Covenant fleets armed to the teeth with soldiers and weaponry. He was used to fighting impossible odds and completing suicide missions on a daily basis, so to him, a ship that size was his run-of-the-mill target. If he was fighting against humans, then it would be even easier.
"That still wouldn't be enough to stop a Spartan. I've fought worse.", John calmly said to Joe, referencing the Didact and his army of Prometheans and Covenant.
Cortana knew that John felt somewhat offended by being told that he wasn't capable of taking down an Iupiter Class starship. Usually, John was given missions that others would run away from. She figured that it had to do with either pride, or him being confident in his abilities. There was no doubt that he would be able to accomplish that mission, but it always seemed as if he dove in without fear. She simply lightly shook her head at John's comment.
(You really are crazy, John.), Cortana thought.

"What about a small ship? even the best radars have a flaw when the object is too small to detect, the Iupiter class ships make large wave scans from what I have gatheres, and it would need patrol ships to look manually the perimeter. A vessel for a small team can squeeze fast enough between the blindspots of the patroling ships and be too small to be detected by the larger ones. Unless they would look from the windows, the team is practically invisible" Mara suggested to Joe
Then the white haired looked at the spartan "Careful with what you say, confidence can be your ticket for a dead end, Just by seeing you and your armor I can know you are heavily experienced in war tactics, but even a one-man army needs a team"

"So you've destroyed Ships that house innocent Civilians that are simply seeking protection?" Joe smiled wryly. "Call it an underhanded defense, but that's why infiltrators don't really go after the larger ships. They don't want to be the only one to bear the deaths of millions of innocents. Have you seen the City area? It's a massive section of the ship designed to replicate a natural planet along with a large set of cities. Civilians come here to escape the threat of their home being easily annihilated. Emphasis on the word 'easily.'"
Then he addressed Mara. Have you seen the fleet?
Delta Division's main fleet alone has
1 Iupiter Class,
5 Orcus Class,
10 Ares Class,
12 Athena Class,
34 Apollo Class,
50 Kappa Class,
79 Vulcan Class,
And the Iupiter is at the center of the entire fleet which normally is a sphere formation around it. Also, I personally wouldn't want to go up against a fleet where the total number of cannons that could wind up aiming at me is over 1.15 trillion and most of them are manned turrets. Just sayin'."

John was not amused by Joe's little joke and looked at Joe as he spoke.
"Then kill their military. I estimate that they would have at least one to two million soldiers on a ship like that. It's a doable mission. An army like that would take about three days to neutralize.", John said to Joe without emotion.
Cortana was more interested in why so many people would try to seek protection on large ships. What were they running from?
"Why are they afraid of their worlds being destroyed?", Cortana asked Joe.

"I never said "destroy" I said infiltrate. The team would go for information that is hidden from the public eye. There is always someone behind the lines working for another faction" Mara countered to Joe
She then looked at him with serious glowing eyes "I know the fact that there are people who use the ships to escape from this mess. I know it by first hand as even in those so secure cities, someone can blow up a ship killing every single person who was trying to get to safety" with that, the white haired walked forward not looking back

"Billions. This ship alone has 687 Billion personnel. Half of them infantry, a third of them pilots, like myself. And Also There's Fighter patrols within the fleet. If there's about 200 billion pilots in the main flagship, factor in all of the other ships...and you get a lot of fighters. Patrols are typically small of course, but still the total number of fighters out at any given time number in the millions." He then sighed. "It's an ugly truth if you look at it. We're armed to fight this war even though it's impossible to end. But more so each of us is fighting a more...personal war. Take Aion and me for example. Why do we fight? It's personal. More for Aion than me, because of Revere. Revere is our goal. I'm here because Aion is here. He's a brother to me. I fight when he fights. That would never change."
Kiara answered Cortana. "They're simply afraid. The war isn't going to end, and lives are being lost, they don't want to be in the open. The fleets are safer because it's like a giant shield. People feel safer with the shields and armor and knowing there's billions of others willing to protect them."

John was getting annoyed by this time period's attitude. To him, it was no wonder the war had been going on for such a long time. To John, wars had to be ended as soon as possible. The longer a war raged, the more lives that would be lost.
"You have to start somewhere. If you don't bring the fight to the enemy, then they will have time to recuperate and replenish their numbers. the reason why this war has been going on for so long is because everyone is too afraid of getting killed. If you want an easier method to take down their fleet, then kill all the leaders. Without anyone to lead them, they will become disorganized.", John said to Joe in his usual calm tone.
"It seems kind of.. wrong. It's as if the entire galaxy lives in fear.", Cortana said to Kiara.

"Fear him...I can see why..." Nhiome rubbed his throat, remembering what had happened, But I prefer to deal with my fears...like that gang that destroyed my home...
"The shards, if they are so powerful they could end a war that has raged for eternity...No wonder they are able to destroy the galaxy. There is a shard here? Then its probably somewhere in this temple...But if the claims that this is only the main hall, and the entire planet is the temple...that is a lot of ground to search. How do you propose to start off?" Nhiome asked. But how am I going to ensure KuroiKaze's safety...if the temple is that big...could I just fly through the corridors?
