By nightfall on August 23, the situation had deteriorated further for the UNSC forces, as the Covenant had placed [[Covenant communications jammer|communication jammers]] on numerous buildings throughout the city (including [[New Alexandria Hospital]], [[SinoViet Center]], and [[Vyrant Telecom Tower]]), severing communications between the surviving UNSC troops and HIGHCOM. As a part of the counter-operation led and coordinated by Kat-B320, numerous UNSC military units have been dispatched to search for these jammers. Noble Six was tasked with air support as well as destroying the jammers in spite of the now-overwhelming Covenant air superiority. Noble Six eliminated all jammers and aided other UNSC troops trapped in the ruined city. However, two [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]s arrived during this time and began glassing sections of the city. At the same time, the Covenant has discovered the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s headquarters, the [[Olympic Tower]], as the source of Kat-B320's signal and the command of local UNSC forces. They launched a large aerial attack force on Olympic Tower using [[Is'belox-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] as well as [[ | By nightfall on August 23, the situation had deteriorated further for the UNSC forces, as the Covenant had placed [[Covenant communications jammer|communication jammers]] on numerous buildings throughout the city (including [[New Alexandria Hospital]], [[SinoViet Center]], and [[Vyrant Telecom Tower]]), severing communications between the surviving UNSC troops and HIGHCOM.

With the loss of the city now imminent, Noble Six assisted in the final evacuation of Olympic Tower by destroying the anti-aircraft Shades, allowing the evacuation to proceed and forcing the Covenant attack force to retreat. Noble Six rejoined Noble Team inside the building, where the team had a temporary reprieve while Kat-B320 attempted to link to SATCOM, and Jun-A266 surveyed the city. As discussion moved from [[Jorge-052]]'s sacrifice during UPPER CUT to the deteriorating situation on Reach, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] hailed the team on an open channel. Carter-A259, although risking detection by Covenant, answered the hail and received Holland's orders.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=NA}} | With the loss of the city now imminent, Noble Six assisted in the final evacuation of Olympic Tower by destroying the anti-aircraft Shades, allowing the evacuation to proceed and forcing the Covenant attack force to retreat.
