By nightfall on August 23, the situation had deteriorated further for the UNSC forces, as the Covenant had placed [[Covenant communications jammer|communication jammers]] on numerous buildings throughout the city (including [[New Alexandria Hospital]], [[SinoViet Center]], and [[Vyrant Telecom Tower]]), severing communications between the surviving UNSC troops and HIGHCOM. As a part of the counter-operation led and coordinated by Kat-B320, numerous UNSC military units have been dispatched to search for these jammers. Noble Six was tasked with air support as well as destroying the jammers in spite of the now-overwhelming Covenant air superiority. Noble Six eliminated all jammers and aided other UNSC troops trapped in the ruined city.

As a part of the counter-operation led and coordinated by Kat-B320, numerous UNSC military units have been dispatched to search for these jammers. Noble Six was tasked with air support as well as destroying the jammers in spite of the now-overwhelming Covenant air superiority. Noble Six eliminated all jammers and aided other UNSC troops trapped in the ruined city. However, two {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s arrived during this time and began glassing sections of the city. At the same time, the Covenant has discovered the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s headquarters, the [[Olympic Tower]], as the source of Kat-B320's signal and the command of local UNSC forces. They launched a large aerial attack force on Olympic Tower using [[Is'belox-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] as well as [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]], and even deployed numerous [[Type-26 Shade#Anti-Air Shade|anti-aircraft Shade turrets]] on the surrounding buildings to prevent air evacuations.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=NA}} | ||
With the loss of the city now imminent, Noble Six assisted in the final evacuation of Olympic Tower by destroying the anti-aircraft Shades, allowing the evacuation to proceed and forcing the Covenant attack force to retreat. Noble Six rejoined Noble Team inside the building, where the team had a temporary reprieve while Kat-B320 attempted to link to SATCOM, and Jun-A266 surveyed the city. As discussion moved from [[Jorge-052]]'s sacrifice during UPPER CUT to the deteriorating situation on Reach, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] hailed the team on an open channel. Carter-A259, although risking detection by Covenant, answered the hail and received Holland's orders.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=NA}} | With the loss of the city now imminent, Noble Six assisted in the final evacuation of Olympic Tower by destroying the anti-aircraft Shades, allowing the evacuation to proceed and forcing the Covenant attack force to retreat.
