The fourth issue opens with the crew of the UNSC Iroquois intercepting the Covenant transmission from the Museum of Natural History in Côte d'Azur. Meanwhile inside the Museum, Blue Team engages in a massive firefight with the two Hunters. The Spartans are victorious and manage to retrieve the artifact. With the artifact secured and remaining civilians rescued from the city, everyone at Alpha HQ is evacuated. Once in orbit, the HAVOK nuke is detonated underneath the city streets. With the Covenant wiped out and defeated, all remaining UNSC ships plot a course back to [[Reach]]. The story arc ends with the UNSC ''Iroquois'' entering [[Slipstream space|slipspace]], unwittingly bringing a Covenant [[spy probe]] along with it that will inevitably lead the Covenant to Reach. | The fourth issue opens with the crew of the UNSC ''Iroquois'' intercepting the Covenant transmission from the Museum of Natural History in Côte d'Azur.
