After battling through an assembly bay, Blue Team was almost at Central Control's location, but were ambushed by a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pair, who broke the catwalk they were on and sent down to the maintenance tunnels several stories below. At the bottom, Blue Leader [[John-117]] had a vision of a seemingly-alive [[Cortana]], urging him to follow her to [[Meridian]]. When he came to, he informed Blue Team of the vision and they resolved to discuss it afterward. The Spartans followed their map's directions to an elevator that would take them back to the top decks. But reaching it required going four levels even lower in the ship, and Blue Team encountered numerous [[Suicide attack|suicide attack]] Grunts and [[Active camouflage|cloaked Elites]] along the way. Worse, the Hunters were following them in the tunnels, hoping to cut off and confront the Spartans sooner or later. | After battling through an assembly bay, Blue Team was almost at Central Control's location, but were ambushed by a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pair, who broke the catwalk they were on and sent down to the maintenance tunnels several stories below.

As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Sangheili corvette|Covenant starships]] exiting slipspace. With no chance of reclaiming ''Argent Moon'' against a massively outnumbering alien force, Blue Leader John changed the team's objective from capture to asset denial. Their plan now was to head to the ship's reactor and shut off its safeties so the reactor would overheat and detonate, destroying the ship, the Covenant aboard, and any Covenant warships surrounding it. | As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Sangheili corvette|Covenant starships]] exiting slipspace.
