After the rest of the Covenant vessels realized the ''Ascendant Justice'' had been captured by the UNSC, they started to fire on it. The [[Associated Intelligence|Covenant AI]] in the ship's systems also blocked Cortana's access to the ship's navigation controls and the slipspace drive, preventing them from escaping. During the engagement, Cortana maneuvered the ship deep into Threshold's [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]], and the other Covenant ships pursued. Meanwhile, John-117 took a [[Huragok]] to fix the ship's power coupling that kept Cortana from accessing the slipspace drive. At the last moment, the creature managed to fix the coupling, and while Cortana had thought a slipspace jump, as deep into the atmosphere as they were, would be impossible, she soon realized that the extent of Covenant slipspace technology was far greater than she had imagined and managed to perform an in-atmosphere slipspace jump away from Threshold.{{Ref/Reuse|fs}} | After the rest of the Covenant vessels realized the ''Ascendant Justice'' had been captured by the UNSC, they started to fire on it.

The ''Ascendant Justice'' would arrive at Reach in a matter of hours. From there, the human survivors were joined by the other surviving Spartan-IIs and [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]]. | The ''Ascendant Justice'' would arrive at Reach in a matter of hours.
