After rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped repel the Covenant invasion force and escorted the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} in commandeering the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', a [[Covenant corvette]].<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> ''Savannah'' diverted the corvette's fire, allowing Noble Six and a team of boarders to infiltrate the ship's hull and to allow a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] carrying Jorge, the bomb, and UNSC reinforcements inside the ship. Jorge and Six then used the hijacked corvette, which was on course toward the supercarrier to refuel, to transport the the slipspace device within range of the supercarrier.<ref name="lnos"/> After Covenant forces were defeated, Jorge discovered that they were not only cut off from their Sabres, but that the thrusters on the Pelican were damaged during the firefight, and that in order for them to return to Reach, the SPARTANs would have to free-fall back to the planet's surface. He had also found that the timing device that would have been used to activate the slipspace drive was damaged, and that the only alternative would be to trigger it manually. | After rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped repel the Covenant invasion force and escorted the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} in commandeering the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', a [[Covenant corvette]].<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> ''Savannah'' diverted the corvette's fire, allowing Noble Six and a team of boarders to infiltrate the ship's hull and to allow a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] carrying Jorge, the bomb, and UNSC reinforcements inside the ship.

Jorge resolved that he would stay to activate the slipspace device himself, and, realizing that doing so would cost him his life, entrusted Noble Six with his dog tags before forcing his fellow SPARTAN off the ''Ardent Prayer''. He left Six with the words, ''"Tell them to make it count."'' As SPARTAN-B312 drifted away from the ship, Jorge activated the bomb, opening a slipspace rupture that enveloped the ''Ardent Prayer'' and a large portion of the ''Long Night of Solace''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mid-section, sending it into the slipstream with no way out. Operation: UPPER CUT was a success, though it resulted in Jorge's death.<ref name="lnos"/> | Jorge resolved that he would stay to activate the slipspace device himself, and, realizing that doing so would cost him his life, entrusted Noble Six with his dog tags before forcing his fellow SPARTAN off the ''Ardent Prayer''.
