Regret's assault carrier hovered over the installation, deploying [[Wraiths]], [[Ghosts]], [[Banshees]], and also companies of [[Elites]], [[Jackals]], [[Yanme'e|Drones]], and [[Grunts]] by means of [[Phantom]] dropships. The Covenant ground forces fortified themselves in a series of Forerunner ruins and temple structures, even establishing [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]]s for further defense.

Meanwhile, the ''In Amber Clad'' trailed behind, and after the Assault Carrier moved off, [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]], captain of the ''In Amber Clad'', ordered a [[platoon]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] (special forces commandos) and [[SPARTAN-117]] to establish a landing zone near a series of ruins and temples on Installation 05 to allow [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] to bring in two flights of [[Pelicans]] and further expand the UNSC presence. The frigate made a quick pass-over of a segment of the ringworld, deploying a dozen [[Human Entry Vehicle]]s (HEV). Six survived the atmosphere of the ring, and only four personnel eventually survived the impact - SPARTAN-117 and three "Helljumpers". However, before they could land in the small ruins, they were detected by the Covenant, and SPARTAN-117 led the commandos in eliminating Covenant [[plasma]] turrets and holding their position against waves of Covenant troops until a Pelican could drop off an [[M12 Warthog LRV]] and a pair of [[Marines]].
