''John-117 quickly finds the crashed dropship sending the message. There are weapons and supplies piled nearby, but no signs of life.  An explosion in the distance catches his attention.  He heads off to investigate and finds a crashed Covenant [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|Spirit]]. The bodies of its passengers are strewn around it.''

''The Chief also encounters a small group of Unggoy and Kig-yar, which he quickly eliminates, before crossing a log bridge. As he moves across the bridge, he sees several [[Flood combat form|shadowy figures]] running around on the top of the cliff to the right. Also, his [[motion tracker]] shows seemingly friendly units in the swamp not too far from his location, but they suddenly disappear off radar.''

''When he reaches the other side, he hears [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] fire nearby. He investigates and sees a mob of Unggoy and Kig-yar fleeing from a large entrance. A [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade|frag grenade]] explosion throws a [[Type-29 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|Shade]] turret around. The fleeing Covenant attack him out of fear.''

''John-117 kills the Covenant and hurries to the entrance, but finds no one there. A lift arrives for him. He takes the lift down into the depths of the structure.''

''John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Grunts, Jackals, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant. In some rooms, Jackals and Grunts gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.''
''John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Unggoy, Kig-Yar, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant.  Curiously there is no sign of any [[Sangheili]], alive or dead. In some rooms, Kig-Yar and Unggoy gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.''

''John-117 leaves him, and finds a way to the second floor. An Assault Rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open. The Chief goes in, passes a dead Marine, and walks down a ramp.''
''John-117 leaves him, and makes his way into the room, which is covered in dead Covenant bodies, blood, bullet holes and plasma scoring.  Some areas of the floor are darkened with blasts from explosions. In some areas, small flecks of a greenish substance are found on the floor.  The Chief finds a partially shattered walkway and ascends to the second floor. An Assault Rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open.

''The Chief comes down one of two ramps on either side of a doorway, which has been recently been forced open by a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[spoofer]].''

''John-117 approaches the door cautiously and listens for any movement inside. Just as he is about to type a command into the spoofer, there is a noise behind him. He turns around, gun ready to shoot, but sees nothing. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder and opens the door. When it opens, the body of [[Manuel Mendoza]] falls into his arms. He advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently while making sure nobody follows him through. He sweeps his Assault Rifle about the room.''

''The floor is covered in blood. Discarded UNSC weapons litter the floor. John-117 also notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once there, he surveys the room one more time, places his rifle on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name "JENKINS" is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The Master Chief shakes his head. He then examines the helmet more closely and notices that the [[Helmet Recorder]], near the [[Heads-up display]], is still intact. He retrieves the [[Recorder Chip]] and inserts it into a socket in his helmet.''
