As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Sangheili corvette|Covenant starships]] exiting slipspace. With no chance of reclaiming ''Argent Moon'' against a massively outnumbering alien force, Blue Leader John changed the team's objective from capture to asset denial. Their plan now was to head to the ship's reactor and shut off its safeties so the reactor would overheat and detonate, destroying the ship, the Covenant aboard, and any Covenant warships surrounding it. | As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Sangheili corvette|Covenant starships]] exiting slipspace.

Blue Team continued lower in the ship to reach the reactor, and on the way encountered the Hunters ambushing them in a lab. Many more Covenant troopers had also taking defense of the reactor. After fighting and killing them all, Blue Team | Blue Team continued lower in the ship to reach the reactor, and on the way encountered the Hunters ambushing them in a lab. Many more Covenant troopers had also taking defense of the reactor. After fighting and killing them all, Blue Team deactivated the reactor's failsafe for its overload. However, ''Argent Moon'' responded with automatic safeties, moving the reactor to a cooling center where it could be contained. Needing to ensure its overload, Blue Team followed the reactor to the cooling center in vacuum, using [[Type-54 Banshee|Banshees]] to destroy its coolant pipes. With their interference, the cooling system failed and the reactor began overheating, prepping ''Argent Moon'''s destruction. | ||
