Mission 2: The Mirror Mantle Counter-Assault: Difference between revisions

[[Sarah Palmer|Spartan Sarah Palmer]] and two [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] are deployed to the Mirror Mantle Ridge by a [[AV-14 Hornet]]. Shortly after, the Hornet flies away and leaves the area. On [[Mirror Flats]] below, UNSC [[M808 Scorpion]] tanks are locked in battle with Covenant [[Type-26 Wraith]]s and [[Type-32 Ghost]]s. Several [[Type-26 Banshee]]s fly overhead. As Palmer and the Marines move through the ridge, they encounter a [[Type-29 Shade]]. An [[Unggoy Minor]] desperately runs for the Shade in an attempt to use it against the Spartan and Marines, but nonetheless Palmer eliminates the Unggoy, along with the rest of its lance consisting of two more [[Unggoy]] Minors and a [[Sangheili Minor]]. As the Marines and Palmer continue through the ridge, they discover the first [[Covenant automated plasma turret|fuel rod turret]] guarded by a Sangheili Minor and three Unggoy. A [[Type-52 Phantom]] drops off several Unggoy before it takes off and leaves the engagement. Palmer and the Marines succeed in destroying the turret, along with the surrounding Covenant forces.
