While en route to the Altar, the Pelican was shot down by the Covenant. However, the Spartan survived the crash.

However, the presence of numerous [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraiths]] prevented the UNSC from delivering the tank via Pelican. After destroying three AA Wraiths, the Spartan traveled to the [[landing zone]], where the Pelican dropped off the Scorpion.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 14: Up in the Air|Up in the Air]]''</ref> Fighting past Covenant forces in the Scorpion, the Spartan traveled over a [[light bridge]] and reached the Altar. The Covenant attempted to stop his advance by setting up [[hard light]] barriers. After disabling the barriers, the Spartan engaged the Covenant forces within the area.

With the light bridges now shut down by the Covenant, Kwon directed the Spartan to a deactivated portal nearby.
