When the shield was deactivated by a joint UNSC-Sangheili strike team, led by the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and the Arbiter, ''Shadow of Intent'' moved in to destroy the Citadel. Before the carrier could get into position, however, the Flood-infested [[High Charity]] arrived via [[slipspace]] and crashed onto the surface of the Ark, shedding debris as it fell. A large fragment smashed through ''Shadow of Intent'' amidships and inflicted severe damage, knocking out all of the carrier's weapon systems. Despite the damage, the ship remained operational. Following Truth's assassination by the Arbiter ''Shadow of Intent'' evacuated the surviving Sangheili and human forces; only the Arbiter, John-117, the AI [[Cortana]], and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] remained behind to activate the newly discovered Halo [[Installation 08]], thereby defeating the Flood.<ref name="The Covenant"/> | When the shield was deactivated by a joint UNSC-Sangheili strike team, led by the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and the Arbiter, ''Shadow of Intent'' moved in to destroy the Citadel.
