The UNSC assault team, travelling in five Pelican dropships, along with a pair of Sangheili Phantoms began their attack on a trio of [[Barrier tower|towers]] that, once disabled, would drop a section of the barrier protecting the Citadel in which the Prophet of Truth was located. As the assault force closed in, they split up. Two Pelicans, including [[Kilo 023]] containing the Master Chief and a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] would hit the first tower. The Phantoms, which carried [[Thel 'Vadam]] and his [[Sangheili]], would assault the second and the other Pelicans, ferrying Sergeant Johnson and his squad would disable the third tower. As Kilo-023 and her wingman approached the first tower, they started to take fire from an [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraith]] stationed on a beachhead near the tower. Kilo-023's wingman was struck in her right wing by AA fire, which rocketed her forward into Kilo-023, crushing the Warthog that was slung underneath before she spiraled into the ground. Kilo-23 was able to continue forward and landed on the beach nearby. John-117, carrying a [[M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser]], lead the ODSTs against a large Covenant force that was protecting the AA Wraith. Fighting their way past the crashed Pelican, the team was able to take down a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]] and his entourage before the Master Chief neutralized the Wraith. With the beachhead secure, [[Miranda Keyes|Commander Keyes]] arrived in her Pelican to deliver a [[M12 Warthog LRV|Warthog]] and [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] for the team to use in their assault on the tower. At the same time, the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' began a diversionary bombardment against the barrier, firing [[plasma torpedo]]es at the barrier shield.
