Despite now having this strategic foothold, Silva still had a great deal of problems. The ODSTs were equipped with enough food and supplies to last 2 weeks. However, that was not the case with the 63 crewmen that the Master Chief was able to rescue. Also, the dropships were running low on fuel and the base was not adequately prepared for a massive counter-attack. Therefore, Silva ordered McKay to go to the downed Autumn and recover whatever supplies that she could. The raid was a success and only a minimum of UNSC casualties occurred, while several [[Ghosts]] and a [[Spirit]] dropship were destroyed. The Marines and ODSTs were able to secure a sufficient amount of fuel, food, and munitions. Also, two 50 cal. turrets were recovered, a contingent of LRV Warthogs, and 4 Scorpion Tanks. Unfortunately, there was no ammo or rockets for the Pelicans, limiting their usage to transport only. Some of the supplies, LRVs, and Marines were lost in the return trip due to Covenant resistance.

It was later discovered that the [[Flood]] had been attempting to break into the base and were only impeded by a single metal grate leading to an unnoticed group of caverns. The entrances to these caverns were successfully sealed, and the Flood were delayed from overtaking the base. By the time they managed to break through, the [[UNSC]] forces had abandoned the base in hopes of leaving the installation aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.

It was later discovered that the [[Flood]] had been attempting to break into the base and were only impeded by a single metal grate leading(Which they had already used hundreds of Plasma Weapons on)to an unnoticed group of caverns.
