The two teams were deployed on the planet more than twenty miles away from enemy lines. While this gave them a greater chance of not being noticed by the enemy upon arrival, it also meant that Spartans had to trek for [[seven]] days to reach their target. Jonah and Roland's team eventually encountered their first hostile, a [[Kig-Yar sniper]] perched on a treetop platform. Uncertain about killing him immediately and possible missing or setting off an alarm, the two Spartans hide explosive charges at the base of the lookout tree then proceeded sneaking to the dig site. | The two teams were deployed on the planet more than twenty miles away from enemy lines.

Thirty minutes later, Team One had their first visual of a base camp, three hundred meters away and below them in a wide valley.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 167-168''</ref> Jonah and Roland surveyed the site, estimating that there were roughly twenty to thirty infantry in the camp and that it was being led by [[Sangheili | Thirty minutes later, Team One had their first visual of a base camp, three hundred meters away and below them in a wide valley.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 167-168''</ref> Jonah and Roland surveyed the site, estimating that there were roughly twenty to thirty infantry in the camp and that it was being led by [[Sangheili]], who were smart but predictable, rather than [[Jiralhanae]], who could be too chaotic to outsmart. They continued to observe the base for the next two days, identifying patrol routes, high-ranking enemies, and important control sites.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 173''</ref> | ||
On the third day, the two initiated their attack. Roland went into active camouflage, giving him roughly four minutes to plant charges around the base's four reactor cores. When he gave a signal (the explosives at the base of the sniper lookout), Jonah used an [[energy disruptor]] and flares to storm the Covenant barracks, singlehandedly wiping out all the enemy troops inside.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 175''</ref> During the battle, Roland noticed an explosion across the valley and considered it might've been Team Two, also responding to his go-signal by initiating their own attack.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 177''</ref> Team One's attack took only ten minutes before they had seemingly wiped out all of the base's crew.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 174''</ref> | On the third day, the two initiated their attack.
