By the time John-117 arrived at High Charity, the [[High Charity defense fleet]] was in chaos. Sangheili and Jiralhanae-controlled ships engaged one another among the vast number of ships protecting the city. Unrest had begun within the city, with numerous [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] rioters attempting to access the [[Council Chamber]] while being held back by [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsmen]]. Within the Council Chamber, Truth, with Mercy next to him, was giving a speech to the Covenant acknowledging the release of the Flood and announcing Tartarus' successful acquisition of the "sacred icon". As Truth's speech drew to a close, John-117 was teleported into the room by the Gravemind, appearing right beside the Unggoy who was filming the speech. He acquired the Unggoy's [[Type-33 needler|Needler]] and aimed it at the Hierarchs, but the Honor Guardsmen protected the Prophets in order for them to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|gm}} | By the time John-117 arrived at High Charity, the [[High Charity defense fleet]] was in chaos.

John-117 soon eliminated the Honor Guardsmen in the room. Tartarus publicly announced to the city that the "demon" had infiltrated the Council Chamber, and promptly sealed the exits. Multiple [[lance]]s of Unggoy and Jiralhanae soon entered in an attempt to kill the intruder but the Spartan prevailed. After clearing out the Covenant in the chamber, John-117 inserted [[Cortana]] into High Charity's security systems so she could open the doors to the room. She then opted to remain in the system as she felt it would provide her the greatest opportunity to aid him. With the Index clearly in the possession of the Prophet of Truth, the Spartan chased after the fleeing Prophet.

With the Index clearly in the possession of the Prophet of Truth, the Spartan chased after the fleeing Prophet. He fought his way out onto the balcony formerly used to torture [[Thel 'Vadamee]], engaging many Covenant troops and defenses including [[Type-42 plasma cannon|plasma cannons]] and a [[Jiralhanae Captain]]. Cortana used her access to High Charity's systems to reverse a [[gravity lift]] on the balcony which allowed the Spartan to travel to a lower level of the tower. As the Master Chief traversed a series of corridors, Cortana informed him that there were Marine [[Identification friend or foe|transponders]] somewhere below his position. After clearing out a two-tiered room of a [[pack]] of Jiralhanae, Cortana activated another gravity lift. The Spartan was carried downwards into a large prison area. After a prolonged battle that saw the Master Chief defeating waves of Covenant entering from various doors, the Spartan was successful in rescuing five Marines who joined him in his hunt for the Prophet. The Covenant refused to give up the prison without a fight, however; more troops, including Unggoy [[Unggoy Heavy|Heavies]] with plasma cannons, descended from the gravity lift the Chief used to enter the prison. The UNSC force was successful in repelling the attack, and left the prison.{{Ref/Reuse|gm}} | ||
