However, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} had arrived at Earth to warn UNSC forces of the attack. Soon after ''Mantle's Approach'' exited slipspace Battle Group Dakota was ordered to [[New Phoenix Incident|engage the ship]]. The battle group was unable to seriously damage the ship, but after learning that the [[John-117|Master Chief]] was trying to board the ship in an [[F-41 Broadsword]] armed with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], they aided him in entering the ship, with ''Infinity'' blasting a hole into the Composer once the Chief took down ''Mantle's Approach's'' point-defense guns. The fleet lost several vessels in the engagement, but maintained their station while the Master Chief carried out his objective.{{Ref/Reuse|midnight}} | ||
