On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], [[Eposz]], which is under siege by four [[Ceudar-pattern heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]]s. Noble Six then finds their way through the city and links up with [[UNSC Army|Army]] forces to assist in the evacuation of [[Traxus Tower]], while fighting [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] for the first time during the invasion. However, they arrive too late, as one of the corvettes has already moved into position on top of the tower. | ||
Noble Six then acquires a [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]] and joins a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] specialists known as the [[Bullfrogs]], enacting an emergency plan to capture an executive landing pad. Six then proceeds to Traxus Tower, where they, several Army troopers and the ODSTs take the landing pad, allowing a group of civilians to evacuate in a Pelican. | Noble Six then acquires a [[Series 8 jetpack|jetpack]] and joins a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] specialists known as the [[Bullfrogs]], enacting an emergency plan to capture an executive landing pad.

After [[6 Echo 2|an evacuation transport]] is shot down by a corvette, Noble Six assists Army forces in clearing the way to [[M95 Lance|missile batteries]] further in the city. The missile batteries disable the corvette's weaponry, allowing the remaining transports to slip past and escape into orbit. | ||

The Spartan cocks the pistol and turns around to look up at the remains of the [[Long Night of Solace|Covenant Supercarrier]] that [[Jorge-052]] had destroyed, now lying shattered on a nearby mountain. Debris continues to plummet into the atmosphere, creating an artificial meteor shower. Displaying a noticeable limp, Six begins to walk away down the mountain.'' | ||
