Lasky and Ray attacked a mercenary base and destroyed a [[pinch fusion reactor|reactor]], the source of the mercenary jamming signal.

In the redoubt, Scruggs continued to hold Hood hostage. He denied that he was working for the [[Insurrectionist]]s and indicated that he was aware of some of ONI's secrets. Palmer then shot Lord Hood in the leg, tackled Scruggs and, after a brief struggle, killed the rogue Spartan by stabbing him in the throat with a [[combat knife]].
