However, Buck declined the aid as he believed that the appearance of Spartans would lead to the Rookie's execution. As a stand-off ensued, the URF soldiers were positioned safely on the presidential balcony, which was protected with [[energy shielding]]. Buck signaled for Dutch and Mickey to sneak up to the balcony, while he and Romeo distracted Ingridson.

In the ensuing firefight, Buck was shot in the arm. Realizing she was out of options, Ingridson executed the Rookie.

After the funeral, Buck returned to his former city of residence, Karnak. While he was at [[Leeward's]], Jun visited him and the two shared ''[[Wikipedia:Baijiu|baijiu]]'' together to honor the Rookie.
