The convoy of UNSC vehicles continued down the Tsavo Highway until they reached the entrance to [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]], which had been heavily occupied by Covenant forces in the preceding hours. After dismounting from his [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog|vehicle]], John and a group of Marines made their way inside, ambushing Covenant troops listening to a holographic sermon from the Prophet of Truth and opening several doors allowing their supporting [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Chaingun Warthog]] to advance. After killing a large group of Covenant in the next tunnel, John proceeded into the first of several lake beds, where an [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraith]] was attacking several [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] that were engaged in aerial dogfights with [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] above the factory. Eventually clearing out the AA Wraith and its accompanying unit of [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], John re-entered the factory, assisting a group of Marines in flushing out Covenant troops in a nearby office. Once the way was clear, the Marines opened the doors into the next section of the factory for the Spartan. In the next room, a [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] deployed a swarm of [[Yanme'e]] through a shattered glass roof, which failed to halt the UNSC advance. John met up with a Marine anti-tank unit in the tunnel leading to the second lake bed. Mounting up on a [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] with a [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]]-armed passenger, John entered the second lake bed, where more Ghosts and [[Type-25 Chopper|Choppers]] defended a pair of Anti-Aircraft Wraiths. Despite the heavy Covenant presence, the anti-tank unit was able to make short work of them, as well as several waves of reinforcements brought in by Phantoms. The Covenant made a last-ditch attempt to retake the lake bed, deploying a [[~~Type~~-~~47B~~ Scarab|Scarab]] into the area. The human forces were able to weaken the Scarab by attacking it's vulnerable leg joints and allowing John to board the walker. The Spartan engaged the crew in close quarters before destroying the Scarab's power core, completely destroying the assault platform. With the lake bed clear, more Pelicans arrived to drop off reinforcements, including [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]].{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}

The victorious UNSC forces re-entered the factory, passing through an aid-station that had been set up to deal with injured Marines and [[civilian]] factory workers. Reports coming in revealed that the Covenant fleet was pulling back to the portal as well as the presence of a [[Indulgence of Conviction|single]] Covenant ship that had arrived in-system. John and Thel entered the warehouse section of the factory complex, where Jiralhanae forces were attacking scattered Marines and slaughtering civilian workers. After clearing out several sections of warehouse and recruiting a number of Marines and armed civilians to their side, the group proceeded to the other side of the factory, killing a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair that had just wiped out a group of fleeing civilians. A Jiralhanae [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] and an assortment of other Covenant troops defended the path to the nearby [[Type-27 Mantis|Mantis]] anti-aircraft emplacement while the Prophet of Truth gave encouragement from a nearby [[holotank]]. Despite this, they failed to stop John and his forces. The group moved forward towards their objective as UNSC [[Battle Group Victory]] began their approach. With their time running out, the group launched an attack on the heavily-defended plateau that the cannon was stationed on. After a furious battle, they emerged victorious and John destroyed the anti-aircraft cannon's rapidly overheating core, neutralizing the battery. With a hole now punched in the Covenant defenses, the battle group approached, bombarding the Prophet's [[Anodyne Spirit|vessel]] sitting in the center of the portal. Their attack failed to damage the [[Forerunner]] [[keyship]], and the portal was activated. The ''Anodyne Spirit'' ascended into the portal to the Ark, with the rest of the Covenant fleet following. As Admiral Hood ordered the UNSC forces to regroup, the [[Flood]]-infested {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} ''[[Indulgence of Conviction]]'' exited slipspace over Voi and crashed into the opposite side of the Traxus factory complex. As Thel pondered the arrival of the ship as more Covenant reinforcements, John knew that it was [[Flood|something even worse]].{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}
