Despite being outnumbered 3-to-1 in space, the separatist fleet makes short work of the Covenant space forces. After locating Truth, the separatist-UNSC alliance launches an assault on the Ark's [[Forerunner Citadel|Citadel]] where Truth intends to activate the Halo Array. At the same time the former Covenant city ship ''High Charity'' arrives from slipspace and crashes on the Ark. Debris spread from the city-ship helps spread a new Flood infestation on the Ark. | ||
*Truth is killed after John-117 and the Arbiter successfully attack the Citadel. Soon after, it is discovered that the Ark's foundry has created [[Installation 04B|a replacement]] for the destroyed Installation 04. Realizing that the ring could be used to fire a tactical pulse which would eliminate the Flood infestation, John-117 decides to light it. In order to do so, he enters the ruins of ''High Charity'' and recover Cortana, who still possesses the Activation Index from the original Installation 04. ''High Charity'' is destroyed in the process. | *Truth is killed after John-117 and the Arbiter successfully attack the Citadel.

In the control room, Johnson is killed as 343 Guilty Spark attempts to prevent him from activating the ring prematurely, as doing so would destroy the ring. John-117 destroys the monitor and begins the firing sequence for the Halo ring. SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter then escape the control room by taking Johnson's Warthog to the ''Forward Unto Dawn'', which is holding position nearby. | ||
*Due to the unstable, incomplete nature of the ring as it fires, the slipspace portal collapses as the ''Dawn'' enters it, causing it to be sheared in two. The forward half with the Arbiter makes it to Earth, crashing into the Indian Ocean.
