After fending off several waves of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops, the surviving militia led the two Spartans down a dried up riverbed to a [[Ütközet hydroelectric power plant|power plant]] that was occupied by the Covenant who had placed a [[Stealth Pylon]] there. The militia helped the Spartans eliminate the troops around the pylon, and defended Jun while he placed a charge on one of the pylon's legs. After the charge was placed, they followed the Spartans into enemy territory and helped them discover a Covenant landing zone. | |||
