Regret's assault carrier took position over the installation, establishing a solid ground presence with armor and patrols of [[Banshee]]s, and also companies of infantry by means of [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|dropships]]. The Covenant ground forces fortified themselves in a series of Forerunner ruins and temple structures, establishing [[Shade|anti-air defenses]].<ref name="deltahalo"/>

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]]s and [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] to establish a landing zone near a series of ruins and temples on Installation 05 to allow [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] to bring in two flights of [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] to further expand the UNSC presence. The frigate made a quick pass-over of a segment of the ringworld, deploying a dozen [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV pods]]. Six survived the atmosphere of the ring, and only four personnel eventually survived the impact - SPARTAN-117 and three ODSTs. However, before they could land in the ruins, they were detected by the Covenant. Upon landing, SPARTAN-117 led the ODSTs in eliminating Covenant Shades and holding their position against waves of Covenant troops until a Pelican could drop off an [[M12 Warthog LRV|Warthog]] and a pair of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]].<ref name="deltahalo"/>
