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 engages the Covenant on the ground and in the air, taking out large numbers of their forces with the armor's built-in weaponry. However, Ghost is eventually overwhelmed by Covenant infantry and the suit's [[Energy Shield|shielding system]] starts to fail. The ADS ends up completely disabled when a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] severs its (and Ghost's) left arm. | 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.

As Ghost struggles to move 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 as well. He became a "ghost"—a shadow surrounded by death. A countdown on the suit's HUD finishes, and the onboard computer requests a voice command to activate the self-destruct function. Ghost turns to face the advancing Covenant for one last glance, and gives the command: "Be Human". The prototype suit explodes in a nuclear detonation, killing Ghost and all of the surrounding Covenant. | As Ghost struggles to move inside the disabled armor, he looks up at the escaping shuttles and flashes back to the female Marine's death.

As the evacuees rendezvous with a [[UNSC frigate]] in orbit of Algolis, Ghost's commanding officer reports that the Cole Protocol has been successfully enforced; all navigational data and technology prototypes have been destroyed. He rescinds 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 demonstrated great conduct as a Marine and human being. He then informs of their planned rendezvous with the {{UNSCShip|Heart of Midlothian}}. | As the evacuees rendezvous with a [[UNSC frigate]] in orbit of Algolis, Ghost's commanding officer reports that the Cole Protocol has been successfully enforced; all navigational data and technology prototypes have been destroyed.
