Exodus is the seventh level in the campaign of Halo: Reach.

Summary

The level opens with Noble Six, having fallen from orbit in the conclusion of the previous level, waking up on a mountain range and beginning their journey to link up with UNSC forces. On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at New Alexandria, Eposz, which is under siege by four Covenant corvettes. Noble Six then finds their way through the city and links up with Army forces to assist in the evacuation of Traxus Tower, while fighting Brutes for the first time during the invasion. However, they arrive too late, as one of the corvettes has already moved into position on top of the tower.

Noble Six then acquires a jetpack and joins a group of ODST specialists known as the Bullfrogs, enacting an emergency plan to capture an executive landing pad. Six then proceeds to Traxus Tower, where they, several Army troopers and the ODSTs take the landing pad, allowing a group of civilians to evacuate in a Pelican.

Noble Six then rides in a Falcon to provide air cover for evacuation crafts leaving the city. They take an alternate route to avoid the Covenant forces clustered in the middle of the city. After an evacuation transport is shot down by a corvette, Noble Six assists Army forces in clearing the way to missile batteries further in the city. The missile batteries disable the corvette's weaponry, allowing the remaining transports to slip past and escape into orbit.

Kat contacts Noble Six, and instructs the Lieutenant to rejoin the rest of Noble Team. During the exchange, Noble Six alerts the team to Jorge's sacrifice during Operation: UPPER CUT.

Transcript

{Cutscene}

Noble Six is alone on a snowy mountain range, holding their injured left arm. They slowly limp back to the discarded Reentry Unit to acquire a pistol. The Spartan cocks the pistol and turns around to look up at the remains of the Covenant Supercarrier that Jorge-052 had destroyed, now lying shattered on a nearby mountain. Debris continues to plummet into the atmosphere, creating an artificial meteor shower. Displaying a noticeable limp, Six begins to walk away down the mountain.

Fade out.

Six arrives at New Alexandria.

Fades in. Noble Six, now in a more temperate landscape, jogs up a hill, having recovered from the limp. They stop at the top, and the city of New Alexandria comes into view. Three Covenant Corvettes dominate the skyline of the burning city. Smatterings of anti-aircraft fire and explosions fill the sky, and the sound of intense combat is heard in the distance.

New Alexandria, Eposz

August 23, 2552 15:34 Hours

Six lets Jorge's dog tags slip slightly from their hand and places them in a chest pouch.

Cut to a building's rooftop. Occasional turret fire can be heard in the background. Six, still holding the pistol, creeps beside the edge, jumps down, and staggers slightly on their injured leg. The Spartan walks past plasma scarring on the wall and readies the pistol. They jump down again onto a walkway.

Switches to Six's point of view: They land safely on the Boardwalk and looks toward the road up ahead.

{Gameplay}

The Devil His Due

You've crash landed near New Alexandria. Link up with UNSC forces defending the city.

Two Falcons and a Longsword fly overhead, towards Traxus Tower.

• Kilo Dispatch (COM): "This is Kilo Dispatch: all available teams, advance to Traxus Tower. Evacuation will commence ASAP."

• Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Stacker (COM): "Copy, Dispatch. What's the status of the tower pad?"

• Kilo Dispatch (COM): "Tower pad is green. Let's move these civilians before it changes."

• Stacker (COM): "Copy, Dispatch. Four-Zero out."

A Navigation point appears on Traxus Tower. After walking past numerous dead civilians in a square and disturbing several birds, Noble Six enters a damaged building, and exits from the other side, engaging a small group of Skirmishers, then enters another building nearby.

• Sergeant Major Duvall (COM): "Romeo Company, be advised: we have reports of Covenant suicide squads."

• Army Trooper (COM): "You gotta be kidding me..."

• Duvall (COM): "That's a negative. Keep your eyes open, troopers."

A squad of Suicide Grunts prepare their plasma grenades.

A group of suicide Grunts attack Noble Six inside the building, but Six eliminates them.

• Stacker (COM): "Kilo 26, this is Kilo 40. Covenant corvette is raining hell on us! Final protective fire - 1, danger close, on my command, over!"

• Kilo 26 (COM): "Copy, Kilo 40. Firing FPF-1 at your command."

• Stacker (COM): "Fire FPF-1, over."

• Kilo 26 (COM): "Firing FPF-1... Shot."

• Stacker (COM): "Hold on to your helmets!"

The ground shakes violently, accompanied by noticeable metallic creaking.

• Kilo 26 (COM): "Kilo 40: request FPF sit-rep."

• Stacker (COM): "Negative, 26! Corvette still coming!"

• Kilo 26 (COM): "Copy, 40. Firing FPF-2... Shot."

The ground shakes violently again with yet more creaking.

• Stacker (COM): "Damn! How do you stop that thing?"

Noble Six takes on Jiralhanae Minors.

Six enters the basement and engages more suicide Grunts. The Spartan easily dispatches them and exits the building. Outside, a Spirit dropship opens its troop bay, revealing Brutes inside. The Brutes fire their Spikers at the civilians and at the UNSC forces before being carried away on the Spirit.

• Civilian #1: "Help! Somebody help us!"

• Civilian #2: "They're coming! They're after us!"

• Trooper #1: "Come on! Let's go!"

• Trooper #2: "What are those things?!"

• Trooper #1: "Brutes! Move to cover!"

The Troopers notice Six.

• Trooper #2: "Picked up a friendly!"

• Trooper #3: "A Spartan? Where the hell did they come from?"

• Trooper #1: "Who cares? Spartan, assist!"

• Trooper #4: "Evac Team 7 to Kilo 26, we have eyes on Traxus Tower."

• Kilo 26 (COM): "Copy, Evac Team 7. Move to assist the evac. Over."

Brutes engage the Troopers and accompanying civilians. Six and the Troopers defeat the Brutes.

• Trooper #3: "How do we get to the tower?"

• Trooper #1: "Elevator in the atrium goes down to the cargo port. Cargo port goes to the tower."

• Trooper #3: "Got to get in there!"

• Trooper #1: "Contacts, to the west!"
