== Summary ==
John-117 arrives at ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> crash site to find UNSC forces overwhelmed by the Prometheans. After searching and finding a few squads of dead Marines, John eventually meets Thomas Lasky and Commander Palmer. Captain Andrew Del Rio orders ground teams to return to ''Infinity'' to repel the attackers, but Lasky cannot clear a landing zone. He asks John-117 to clear a landing zone for the UNSC forces in the swamp. John-117 finds an area occupied by the Covenant remnant, who have joined the Promethean forces, and clears it for a landing zone.
John-117 arrives at {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s crash site to find UNSC forces overwhelmed by the Prometheans. After searching and finding a few squads of dead Marines, John eventually meets [[Thomas Lasky]] and Commander [[Sarah Palmer]]. Captain Andrew Del Rio orders ground teams to return to ''Infinity'' to repel the attackers, but Lasky cannot clear a landing zone. He asks John-117 to clear a landing zone for the UNSC forces in the swamp. John-117 finds an area occupied by the Covenant remnant, who have joined the Promethean forces, and clears it for a landing zone.


John-117 is then taken by a Pelican to ''Infinity''{{'}}s crash site, where he, along with several Spartan-IVs, clear a path to ''Infinity''{{'}}s hangar bay. Once he enters the ship, John-117 pilots a Mantis and heads through the service corridor to the top side of ''Infinity'', where the Covenant remnant has set up three jammers to prevent the ship from firing her weapons at the Didact and the Covenant remnant's battlecruisers. John destroys the jammers, and holds out until he can reactivate the ''Infinity's'' MAC cannons. With ''Infinity''{{'}}s weapons all firing at his Cryptum, the Didact retreats after two Covenant {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}s are destroyed.
