[[Higgins]] and [[Campbell (ODST)|Campbell]] investigated the motor pool, where they were caught by surprise and killed by several [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]]. Meanwhile, Dutch and Romeo were suddenly engaged by massive numbers of Grunts and some Elites, who cut off the troopers' exit route. Romeo managed to collapse a platform, killing two Elites.

Unbeknownst to the other Marines, Dutch and Romeo survived the explosion, and sought to regroup with the rest of the ODSTs.<ref>'''Halo: Helljumper''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 3|Issue 3]]''</ref> After finding their way to a higher ground, they noticed a large Covenant ground force amassing behind the other ODSTs, still on their way to their destination. The two decided to lure the Covenant away from their compatriots, detonating several explosives jammed into a fissure and burying numerous Covenant under a collapsing canyon. Dutch and Romeo then escaped, planting traps for their pursuers as they went. They then came across a lightly-guarded [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]], captured it and used its weapons to take down a large number of Covenant foot soldiers. However, the ship was soon hit and crashed near the other archaeological dig site.<ref>'''Halo: Helljumper''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>

While the rest of the Marines were still on their way to the site, Dutch and Romeo discovered the colony's civilians. They were being held prisoner by Covenant forces, who had used them to unearth [[Ariel Forerunner complex|a Forerunner complex]], and were currently making the humans spring traps in the entrance to the facility. The two ODSTs took down the Covenant in the building, and avoiding the traps, made their way inside the alien complex. In the inner chamber, they encountered [[the Knowing]], which told them that it possessed an unimaginable amount of knowledge. The ODSTs decided that the AI had to be destroyed to prevent the Covenant from gaining access to the data, against ONI's [[Xeno orders]]. Romeo told the Knowing to [[self-destruct]], and the AI complied with his request with [[Reclaimer|no hesitation]]. The two ODSTs escaped the underground complex just in time before the explosion. Meanwhile, the rest of the ODSTs arrived outside the dig site and noticed more Covenant forces inbound.<ref name="is5">'''Halo: Helljumper''', ''[[Halo: Helljumper Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref>
