===Reach and Death===

Joshua was then on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, in complete brevity until [[Covenant]] forces appeared above [[Reach]]. During the [[~~Battle~~ of Reach]], Joshua was assigned to Fred's team and designated as Red Three. As he and Fred descended to the surface of Reach, their Pelican, [[Bravo 001]], was shot down by air artillery. Joshua attempted to activate the auto pilot of the Pelican, but all of its computer systems had been destroyed<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 9</ref>. Joshua was, however, able to slow the vessel down enough so that the Spartans could make a "hard landing"; or jump out of the Pelican and land directly on the ground<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], pages 9-10</ref>.

Once he landed, Joshua found a [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and was the first Spartan to arrive at [[ODG Facility A-331]], and spot [[Charlie Company]]. He then radioed Fred and the Spartans were able to regroup at the facility. Fred then ordered Joshua to recon the area. Joshua was the Spartan who spotted a Covenant landing zone and patched the image through to Fred using his [[COM]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 21</ref>. Joshua, Fred, and [[Kelly-087|Kelly]] then piloted [[Banshees]] toward the [[Gravity Lift]] of the Covenant cruiser and threw a [[Fury Tactical Nukes|Fury Tac Nuke]] into it. However, as the Banshees neared the lift, Covenant fired their [[Plasma Cannon]]s at the Banshees, hitting Joshua's Banshee. He was last seen trailing smoke and losing altitude just before the Fury Tactical Nuke destroyed the area<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 29</ref>.
