[[Captain]] [[Andrew Del Rio]] dispatches the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Commander]] [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[Spartan-IV]] [[Gypsy Company]] to destroy the [[particle cannon]] network preventing the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} from reaching and destroying the [[gravity well]] generator. The Master Chief and [[Cortana]] are less than pleased to learn that Del Rio has failed to send Force Recon to check out the terrain, instead opting for a "blowthrough op." Aided by a [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth]] and his fellow Spartans, the Master Chief presses towards the control center for the particle cannon network. After three Pelicans are shot down by the particle cannons, the Master Chief retrieves the [[H-295 target designator|target designator]] from one to paint the particle cannon for destruction by the Mammoth's [[Mark 2547 heavy railgun|Mini-MAC]]. The UNSC forces come across a shielded blockade preventing access to the second particle cannon, forcing the Master Chief to disembark and disable the shield generators. After destroying the second particle cannon, the Mammoth comes under attack by a Covenant [[Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich|Lich]], disabling the vehicle. The Master Chief is forced to eliminate the Covenant forces in the surrounding area and then board the Lich to destroy it by overloading its power core while Cortana's [[rampancy]] gets steadily worse.

With the Mammoth operational but heavily damaged, the UNSC forces push on to the control center before being forced to stop due to a landslide. The Master Chief proceeds on foot alone, fighting off heavy enemy forces including several [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s and [[Promethean]]s. Finally, the Chief reaches to control center where Cortana causes the two remaining cannons to destroy each other. However, Cortana vanishes from the system and the Master Chief chases her to a meeting with [[mind transfer|an imprint]] of the [[Librarian]]. The Librarian explains some of the history of the [[Forerunner]]s, [[ancient humanity]] and the [[Flood]] and reveals that the Prometheans are ancient humans digitized by the [[Composer]], a device that [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]] now seeks in order to do the same to the entire human race. After stating that the Master Chief's evolution is "the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning," the Librarian accelerates his evolution with the Chief's agreement to grant the Master Chief an immunity to the Composer.

The Master Chief proceeds on foot alone, fighting off heavy enemy forces including several [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s and [[Promethean]]s.

Retrieving Cortana and heading back outside through a [[teleportation grid|portal]], the Chief discovers that ''Infinity'' has not been able to destroy the gravity well. Fighting his way to a nearby cliffside with the help of Marines and several vehicles, including [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tanks]], the Chief paints the gravity well for ''Infinity'' with a target designator, allowing the ship to destroy it and set itself free from Requiem's influence.
