When the Covenant succeeded in recovering the Conduit, they | When the Covenant succeeded in recovering the Conduit, they sought to bring the device to the [[Altar]] on Installation 03. There, the Covenant intended to use the Conduit to open slipspace portals for Prometheans to invade Gamma Halo and give themselves control over the installation.<ref name="opc"/> To prevent the UNSC from finding the Conduit's exact location, the Covenant jammed the device's signal frequency. The Spartan was deployed to a jungle on Gamma Halo via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|HEV]], where he battled his way through Covenant forces and destroyed the five signal jammers.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 7: Gamma Halo|Gamma Halo]]''</ref> Afterwards, the Spartan wiped out Covenant forces in the area to allow the UNSC to deploy three signal beacons that boosted the signal transmitted from the Conduit. The Conduit's signal was soon traced to a nearby Forerunner structure, though its entrance was blocked by a Promethean-designed gate.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 8: Signal Fires|Signal Fires]]''</ref> A squad of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] captured a Covenant [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]], and the Spartan was directed to their position.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 9: Lockout|Lockout]]''</ref> Manning the Wraith, the Spartan returned to the gate and deactivated it by destroying its power core with the Wraith's [[Plasma mortar|cannon]].<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 10: Knockin' on a Forerunner Door|Knockin' on a Forerunner Door]]''</ref> When the Spartan arrived at the structure, he was attacked by a [[Promethean Knight]]. It soon became apparent that the Covenant had established a relay station to create false signal to distract the UNSC. However, Kwon determined that the relay station's database could still be used to pinpoint the current location of the Conduit. After the Spartan activated three transmitters, the UNSC was able to discover the Conduit's whereabouts. Fighting past Promethean forces, the Spartan regrouped with a squad of Marines.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', campaign level ''[[Mission 11: Dormant|Dormant]]''</ref> Operating a [[AV-30 Kestrel|Kestrel]], the Spartan fled the area, while the Marines held off oncoming Prometheans. The Spartan eventually managed to escape aboard a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] [[dropship]].<ref name="ss12"/> Meanwhile, the Covenant discovered the Altar and prepared to release their Promethean allies upon the installation, certain that victory was theirs. However, the Spartan was sent to stop them.<ref name="opc"/> | ||

After returning to Ivanoff Station in a Pelican dropship with the Conduit, the Spartan received an emergency distress call from an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] facility in [[New Phoenix]] on Earth. The researchers at the facility were studying a Forerunner artifact at the time of the battle. When the Covenant used the Conduit at the Altar, Forerunner portals were activated throughout the galaxy. One of the portals opened up in the ONI facility in New Phoenix, and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces attacked the base. It was determined that the only way to close the portals was to bring the Conduit to New Phoenix. The Spartan traveled to the city with the Conduit, as the [[Battle of New Phoenix]] begun.<ref name="opd">'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', ''[[Operation D: Adamantine Shield]]''</ref> | After returning to Ivanoff Station in a Pelican dropship with the Conduit, the Spartan received an emergency distress call from an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] facility in [[New Phoenix]] on Earth.
