When the UNSC forces had secured the area, the ''Spirit'' put down close to the surface, to deliver Slipspace drive to the ground. It was attached to two [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]], which were to be used to transport it to the Apex main platform.

After an attempt at airlifting the drive failed, the mission was changed into a ground operation, with the intent of using an [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle|Elephant]] to tow the reactor to the [[teleporter]] on the top of the hill, which was full of Covenant and Flood forces. The UNSC established a [[firebase]] on the bottom of the hill, and gradually ascended the towering hill up to the Apex Base Site, meeting determined resistance from the Covenant. They eventually reached a [[Slipspace translocation|teleporter]] that took [[John Forge|Sergeant John Forge]], a Marine lieutenant, and Red Team to the Apex's control center with the slipspace drive.<ref name="reactor"/>
