Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]]. During the [[Fall of Reach]], Joshua was assigned to Red team and designated as ''Red Three''.

He then radioed Fred and the Spartans were able to regroup at the facility. Fred then ordered Joshua to recon the area. Joshua was the Spartan who spotted a Covenant landing zone and patched the image through to Fred using his [[COM]].<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 21''</ref> Joshua, Fred, and [[Kelly-087|Kelly]] then piloted [[Banshees]] toward the [[Gravity Lift]] of the Covenant cruiser and threw a [[Fury Tactical Nukes|Fury Tac Nuke]] into it. However, as the Banshees neared the lift, Covenant fired their [[Plasma Cannon]]s at the Banshees, hitting Joshua's Banshee. He was last seen trailing smoke and losing altitude just before the Fury Tactical Nuke destroyed the area.<ref name="FS29">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 29''</ref>. Fred tried to radio to Joshua, but received no response though this is likely due to the [[EMP]] given off by the nuclear detonation.<ref name="FS29"/> He is [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|listed as MIA]] and is assumed to be dead. | ||
