In [[2552]], while still serving aboard the ''Archimedes'', he detected the silhouette of [[Covenant]] ships headed for the Sigma Octanus. While he did not positively identify the silhouette as such <ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 137-138''</ref>, his report allowed UNSC forces to converge in defense of the system in time to win the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. Lovell was reassigned to the {{UNSCShip|Iroquois}} under Captain Jacob Keyes, replacing [[Lieutenant]] [[Jaggers]] as navigation officer. There he participated more actively in the latter stage of the battle <ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 188''</ref>.

Shortly afterward, Lovell was transferred with the rest of the command crew to Keyes' new ship, the cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was to be sent on [[Operation: RED FLAG]], which was postponed due to the [[Fall of Reach]]. Despite his low rank, and the surprise it caused among the bridge crew, Lovell performed skillfully, even under pressure. He and [[Cortana]] successfully extracted the ship from the disaster. When the ship was abandoned during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], Lovell piloted and landed his [[Bumblebee]] lifepod ([[Kilo Tango Victor 17]]) containing Keyes, the command crew, and the [[Covenant]] spy [[Isna 'Nosolee]].

As the ''Autumn'' sat in stationary orbit on the far side of the planet, Lovell detected unusual EM readings bouncing off [[Turul]] and contacted [[Casimir Station]] looking for an explanation. Unbeknownst to the crew of the ship, which was being kept ignorant of the Covenant invasion, the readings were actually a result of battles occurring on the other side of the planet.<ref name="Drop"/>
