Shortly after arriving in the [[Coelest system]] in pursuit of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} demanded the AI [[Cortana]] provide her with all information from the [[Installation 04|installation]] her father had discovered a month prior.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[ | Shortly after arriving in the [[Coelest system]] in pursuit of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} demanded the AI [[Cortana]] provide her with all information from the [[Installation 04|installation]] her father had discovered a month prior.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref> Keyes was able to locate [[Installation 05]]'s Library, and set out to reach it and secure it's [[Activation Index]] before the Covenant could do so. Marine forces lead by [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] were ordered to extract from their positions on the ring's surface and rendezvous with the ''In Amber Clad'' at the Library while [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] proceeded on his mission to [[Assassination of the Prophet of Regret|assassinate]] the Prophet of Regret.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> | ||
Upon arriving at the [[Sentinel Wall]] surrounding the Library and the [[Containment Shield]] it projected, the In Amber Clad searched for a way around the obstacle.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> After failing to gain access to the Library, the frigate deployed a platoon-sized force of Marines to an entrance in the wall, led by Gunnery Sergeant [[Marcus Stacker]] and Staff Sergeant [[Banks]]. The Marines moved through the outer wall with ease, unmolested by local Sentinel defenses - possibly due to being recognized by the automated guardians as [[Reclaimers]]. As the Marines moved through the inner wall, the outer wall became besieged by [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant forces deployed from the recently arrived [[High Charity]]. Eventually, the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadamee]] was able to deactivate the Containment Shield, and the inner wall quickly became overrun with [[Flood]] from the nearby [[quarantine zone]]. Spread throughout the wall in small [[fireteam]]s and completely unaware of the nature of enemy they were facing, most of the platoon was quickly assimilated by the parasite, proceeding to take up arms against their former comrades. Additionally, the local Sentinel forces became hostile to the surviving Marines, likely due to the immediate presence of the Flood. With his forces decimated, but the Containment Shield now disabled, Stacker radioed ''In Amber Clad'' suggesting Keyes proceed straight to the Library while his troops attempted to hold their position. A short time later, Stacker made contact with Keyes once again, confirming their engagement with non-Covenant hostile lifeforms, while Banks could be heard organizing other Marine survivors as they staged a desperate defense.<ref name="icon"/> | Upon arriving at the [[Sentinel Wall]] surrounding the Library and the [[Containment Shield]] it projected, the In Amber Clad searched for a way around the obstacle.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> After failing to gain access to the Library, the frigate deployed a platoon-sized force of Marines to an entrance in the wall, led by Gunnery Sergeant [[Marcus Stacker]] and Staff Sergeant [[Banks]].
