Nova Covert Oops is the Nova Covert Ops-based episode in the 5th season of StarCrafts.
Plot[]
Nova Terra wakes up, looking exhausted in the sleep, and finds herself on the workbench. An intercom is shown talking to her and addressing a welcome message with "concentration camp" which suspiciously cuts to "ghost academy camp" instead. It then tells her to lower her visor. When she does so, Nova reads a hidden message through her vision:
Get out. Deyz gonna mess you right up. We can come pick you up. Just bring $5 for gas.
As she realizes she is in danger, she activates cloaking device. Watching the effect, the intercom then asks her to confirm if the device is working, but no response is given. It is revealed that Stone had been contacting her, but without reply from Nova, he says he didn't bring detection. Nova then snaps Stone's neck.
A sound of alarm is triggered and three marines roam around, without touching cloaked stationary Nova who simply breaks their necks on hallway. She goes inside the "Well-hidden room of prisoner weapons" to retrieve her C-20A rifle back.
She shoots at Defender ghost who gets hurt by a shot on his knee, but two patrolling marines doesn't care what's happening. After several shots are fired, she rolls her eyes by unsuccessful ranged attack. She rushes to crunch his neck instead and flees. The marine appears and looks at ghost's corpse, but resumes patrolling like nothing.
