After [[John-117|Spartan-117]] and his allies repelled several waves of Covenant including a pair of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], a Pelican found the group and gave them coordinates of an extraction point. [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] ordered Johnson to regroup with the ''In Amber Clad'' so that he could coordinate further deployment of infantry and armor units while the Spartan continued on foot through the city to find the second squad. <ref name="outskirts"/> | After [[John-117|Spartan-117]] and his allies repelled several waves of Covenant including a pair of [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]], a Pelican found the group and gave them coordinates of an extraction point.

John-117 and his makeshift Marine unit entered a blown-out hole in a tunnel and destroyed a Covenant convoy.

Along the way they engaged and neutralized several barricades the Covenant had assembled to fortify the tunnel network.
