Unbeknown to the other ODSTs, Dutch and Romeo are saved by the reactor's explosion by using Elite bodies as shields. Before the explosion, Dutch tells Romeo that he put in for a transfer to be with his wife. Afterward, Romeo starts angrily asking Dutch why didn't he tell him about the transfer earlier. Dutch only replies that they'll discuss it further later, and the two move out. They soon come across a wounded Grunt and interrogate it, learning only that the Covenant are after something called "Knowing". The two then decide to head to higher ground to locate the rest of the ODSTs. Once there, they find that a massive Covenant ground force is massing behind the other Marines, and decide to create a diversion to draw the Covenant away from their compatriots. | Unbeknown to the other ODSTs, Dutch and Romeo are saved by the reactor's explosion by using Elite bodies as shields.

After setting more traps for pursuing Covenant, they commandeer a lightly-guarded [[Type-52 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 [[Type-33 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. | ||
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 [[xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaeological]] findings. They make their escape as the Knowing willingly [[self-destruct]]s. 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. | The ODSTs assault the chamber where the Covenant are rounding up the civilians, and after eliminating the opposition, tell the humans to evacuate.
