The suit is being piloted by Ghost, who disobeyed the Cole Protocol in an effort to help the planet's civilians and his Marines escape. Ghost single-handedly engages the Covenant forces on the ground and in the air, taking out large numbers of their forces easily. In the ensuing battle, Ghost is overwhelmed by ground infantry. The suit's [[Energy Shield|shielding system]] starts to fail, and the suit is completely disabled when a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]] severs its (and Ghost's) left arm.

As Ghost struggles inside the disabled armor, he looks up at the escaping shuttles and flashes back to the female Marine's death. He admits that the moment she died in his arms, a part of him was lost and that he had become a "ghost" -- a shadow surrounded by death. A countdown on the suit's HUD finishes, and the suit's system requests a voice command to activate a self-destruct function. Ghost turns to face the advancing Covenant for one last glance, and gives the voice command: "be human". The prototype suit explodes in a nuclear detonation, killing Ghost and all the surrounding Covenant.

As the evacuees rendezvous with a [[UNSC Frigate]] in orbit of Algolis, Ghost's commanding officer reports that the Cole Protocol has been enforced, and that all navigational data and technology prototypes have been destroyed. He redacts his previous request for Ghost's court-martial, listing him as [[Missing in Action|missing]] during heavy combat on Algolis and further stating that Ghost had demonstrated great conduct as a Marine and human being. He then informs <!-- who? --> of their <!-- who? --> rendezvous with the [[UNSC Heart of Midlothian]].
