Jonah and Roland were assigned to destroy six of the ten identified Covenant bases located on an remote, [[Unidentified moon (Headhunters)|unidentified moon]], while another Headhunter team would destroy the remaining bases.

As Roland placed demolition charges in the base's reactors, Jonah eliminated several targets in the camp barracks by using energy disruptors and [[flashbang grenade]]s to confuse his enemies. Jonah began to taunt his enemies with a [[Sangheili]]'s severed head and laughed as he watched their anger grow. He flung the severed head at the remaining Covenant and then killed them all. | ||

Before Roland died, he managed to say the word ''"Clear"''. After briefly fighting the energy sword-wielding Sangheili, which was a member from the Covenant Operations group known as the [[Silent Shadow]], Jonah discovered that the alien was not traveling alone, and had brought five other Silent Shadow warrior Sangheili along with him. | ||

Jonah then realized why his fallen friend had said ''"Clear"''. Roland had told him with his dying act that the charges were set. He detonated the charges shortly after, taking the six Sangheili warriors with him, and incinerating Roland's corpse. | ||

The Sangheili in charge grabbed Jonah, dislocating his shoulder, using his energy sword to slowly slice a gash into Jonah's faceplate, destroying his eye in the process. Another Sangheili grabbed Jonah by the neck, but not before Jonah declared that his life for the six Sangheili' was a fair trade.

Jonah, as compared to his comrade Roland, was arrogant, cocky, and carefree. He fed off the heat of battle and taunted his enemies before he killed them, often mutilating their corpses in some fashion. Roland said that the only reason he received the active camo was that Jonah would use it to give a [[Unggoy]] a wedgie. Jonah often regarded his missions as a sort of game, with little regard for the possibility of his death. Roland called his teammate a sociopath because of the joy he took in killing Covenant, a trait the Spartan did not dispute. | Jonah, as compared to his comrade Roland, was arrogant, cocky, and carefree.
