The level begins with the [[Master Chief]], the [[Arbiter (rank)|Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Sergeant Major|Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] landing in an underground [[Crow's Nest (Base)|UNSC base]]. When they disembark, several Marines are amazed to see a [[Spartan II]]. As they walk through hallways littered with wounded [[UNSC]] soldiers, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes|Keyes]] informs the Chief and Johnson that [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] has almost destroyed the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], and only a few ships are left. They soon reach the command center and speak with [[Lord Hood]], discussing a plan for an all out attack on Truth's army.

Unfortunately, the Covenant then jams the [[Human]] communications network along with the rest of the base, shutting off the power. Truth appears on the main view screen, telling the Humans that their world will [[Glassing|burn]]. The base is then attacked by a large contingent of&nbsp;[[Covenant Loyalists]]. The Master Chief helps rescue and evacuate as many marines as possible from the base. Unable to fight off the invaders, Keyes orders a [[Crow's Nest Bomb|bomb]] placed in the operations center. Covenant troops, however, overrun the operations center and manage to defuse the bomb. The Master Chief retakes the ops center by force and rearms the main charge. All remaining troops, including the [[Master Chief]], escape into the base's hangar, where they enter an elevator to attempt to escape the explosion.

*The third part of this level (Last One Out, Get The Lights) could be a reference to the Season One finale of Red vs Blue (Last One Out, Hit The Lights). It is seen in the [[Halo 3]] ViDoc ''[[ViDoc: Et Tu Brute|Et Tu Brute]]'' around the 5 minute mark.

*When Truth says: ''"...your destruction is the will of the gods. And I... I am their instrument!"'' is the same line an [[Elite]] says in [[The Fall of Reach]], [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer]], and [[Halo Wars: Genesis]]. This quote is the last lines of [[Contact Harvest]].

*On the boxes in the part of the room farthest from the monitors is the number 2401, the number of [[Installation 05]]'s [[2401 Penitent Tangent|Monitor]], and factors [[7]]. Similarly, in the first hangar, there is a generator under the floor that has the number 2401, like [[Installation 05]]'s [[2401 Penitent Tangent|Monitor]].

Similarly, in the first hangar, there is a generator under the floor marked with the [[EMG 2401]] logo, likely in reference to the said Monitor.
*The "Seventh Column" icon appears in the opening cinematic. Immediately after [[Commander Keyes]] says "Give the order, we're closing shop," the screen cuts to a bearded [[marine]] who says "Ma'am?" The screen behind him reveals a map of the base, with the Seven Pillars icon appearing in the middle of the lower-right quadrant.
