Romeo and Dutch plant explosive charges into a canyon and detonate them, killing numerous Covenant and attracting the attention of the rest. After setting more traps for pursuing Covenant, they commandeer a lightly-guarded [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] dropship and rain death down on the rest of the Covenant infantry in the area. However, the craft is severely damaged by a stray [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod]]. Dutch manages to fly the craft to the other dig site and bring it crashing down on a group of Covenant, while the ODSTs bail out. They discover the missing civilians, held prisoner by the Covenant in a building. They learn from a researcher that the Covenant have been using the humans to spring booby traps in an ancient underground complex. | Romeo and Dutch plant explosive charges into a canyon and detonate them, killing numerous Covenant and attracting the attention of the rest.

The ODSTs assault the chamber where the Covenant are rounding up the civilians, and after eliminating the opposition, tell the humans to evacuate. They then decide to investigate the underground complex. After evading a laser trap, they find themselves in a large chamber, with a [[Monitor]]-like construct suspended in the ceiling. It identifies itself as "[[the Knowing]]", and tells the ODSTs its function: to collect and archive information. After learning that the Covenant could use this information against humanity, the ODSTs decide that the construct must be destroyed, despite standing orders to preserve and record [[ | The ODSTs assault the chamber where the Covenant are rounding up the civilians, and after eliminating the opposition, tell the humans to evacuate.

They make their escape as the Knowing willingly self-destructs. After its destruction, the [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]] leading the Covenant forces orders them to leave the planet at once and return to [[High Charity]]. Romeo and Dutch move back up to the surface from the underground tunnels, regrouping with the rest of the ODST squad. | ||
Back aboard the frigate, Romeo is recovering from a broken ankle on an infirmary bed. He tells Dutch that he, too, requested a transfer for a planetside assignment to be with Dutch. Dutch, on the other hand, tells that he withdrew his transfer request. They have a game of rock-paper-scissors, and decide to go with the winner's decision. The story ends with Romeo winning, with scissors over paper. | Back aboard the frigate, Romeo is recovering from a broken ankle on an infirmary bed.
