The ODST squad proceeded to take down several waves of Phantoms and Banshees before a new threat appeared - the {{Pattern|Kmiro'sish|Lich}} ''[[Upright Chalice]]''. The large shuttle would hover near the base, allowing its infantry to fire down onto the mesa, though the majority of the onboard complement would be killed by return fire thanks to Fireteam Raven, including a [[Sangheili Zealot]]. The fireteam dismounted and were ordered to get to the base's landing pad, as they were needed elsewhere on the ring. They engaged more [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] wielding ultras, Hunters and [[Suicide Unggoy]] before finally reaching their Falcon and extracting off the Mesa as the battle continued.{{Ref/Reuse|HFR}} | The ODST squad proceeded to take down several waves of Phantoms and Banshees before a new threat appeared - the {{Pattern|Kmiro'sish|Lich}} ''[[Upright Chalice]]''.

Wellsley utilized a [[point-defense gun|50mm Autocannon]] and shot down one of the Spirits before they could get out of range. The 5 remaining Covenant ships touched down on the mesa and unloaded the main attack force, as well as [[Field Master]] [[Noga 'Putumee]]. Meanwhile, Zuka 'Zamamee and five of the remaining Stealth Sangheili descended into the underground level of the base, slaughtering all the humans that they came across. Finally, they entered the Control Room and massacred technicians [[Cho (Navy technician)|Cho]], [[Pauley]], and [[Mary Murphy|Murphy]]. However, they were seen by Wellsley, who promptly warned Silva. Soon, six teams of three Marines were sent out to halt the Stealth Sangheili; to counter the active camouflage, the Marines had special equipment which allowed them to read the thermal heat given off by the active camo. The Sangheili questioned everyone they came across in an attempt to learn the Master Chief's whereabouts. Eventually they came across Yayap and three other Unggoy in a prison cell. The Unggoy convinced Zuka that the Spartan was guarding a group of captured [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] on the other side of the base, and led the group toward there. A three-man Marine fireteam surprised them, killing the five Stealth Sangheili and the three Unggoy before being taken out by a [[ | Wellsley utilized a [[point-defense gun|50mm Autocannon]] and shot down one of the Spirits before they could get out of range.

Upon reaching the Banshees, Yayap pointed a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] at 'Zamamee's head to get Zuka to fly them both to safety.{{Ref/Reuse|flood8}} | ||
Meanwhile, McKay was tasked with halting the Covenant forces on the plateau. The primary Covenant attack force had been thoroughly destroyed. First, the snipers attempted to kill the majority of the enemy ground forces. 'Putumee, unable to land on the pads as originally planned, alternatively landed on the area up-spin of the Forerunner complex. Despite having the remaining Spirit dropships strafing the Marine defenders, they were caught unaware by the pair of entrenched [[M808B Scorpion]]s and prepared defenses on the plateau. Not only did the Scorpions obliterate the majority of the Covenant forces, but also deprived the Covenant forces of their leadership when 'Putumee was killed. However, the assault moved onward, albeit slowly, as the lower-ranked Sangheili assumed command and attempted to rally the troops without much success. Soon, the strafing Spirits picked up the few surviving Covenant troops and retreated.{{Ref/Reuse|flood8}} | Meanwhile, McKay was tasked with halting the Covenant forces on the plateau.
