Escharum taunted Griffin, letting him know that he'd sent most of his forces to assault the ''Reverie''.

Two barricades were established in the pass towards the ''Reverie'', with additional fortifications set up at key positions around the exterior of the ship, where there were ammo and resupply runners at the ready. All support staff teams were stationed with an experienced squad. The secondary barricade—the one closer towards the ''Reverie''—consisted of two mixed units of marines, army troopers, ODSTs, and six Spartans, including Spartans Makovich and [[Theodore Sorel]]. Two [[M9 Wolverine]]s were stationed in front of the barricade. The primary barricade was composed of a similar force, albeit including a larger Spartan presence with three Spartan teams of four. A minefield was deployed beyond the primary barricade. Additional units, including Spartans, a handful of Warthogs, and Scorpions occupied the ridgelines along the pass. Gunners manned what remained of the ship's [[Rampart point defense gun#M870 Rampart|M870 Rampart 50mm point defense guns]] to provide air support.{{Ref/Reuse|rp16}} The UNSC was aware that the survivors at the ''Mortal Reverie'' were ill-prepared, but the crash site served as a solid foothold for the survivors, and the alternative—running away from the ''Reverie'' and surviving in small groups in the wilderness—was not a viable option.{{Ref/Reuse|rp15}} | Two barricades were established in the pass towards the ''Reverie'', with additional fortifications set up at key positions around the exterior of the ship, where there were ammo and resupply runners at the ready.
