''Miranda walks up the stairs and draws her [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|pistol]]. She pulls the slide back.''

*'''Technician''': "No, ma'am. Wait, Overwatch has contacts. [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]], closing in on our position."

*'''[[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Reynolds]]''': "Get those [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|turret]]s up. You watch your fields of fire!"

''The Chief grabs some [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Fragmentation Grenades]] from a weapons case near the door, then opens it, and lets the Marines lead the way.''

''The Marines find the vehicle access. A [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] is in battle with many Covenant soldiers. [[Unggoy]] lob [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenades]] and destroy it. The Chief and accompanying Marines engage and defeat the Covenant. A Jiralhanae wielding a [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|brute shot]] enters the vehicle access with a group of Unggoy. The team eliminate the Covenant troops and push onward. They go through the open door and defeat the Covenant there, which consists of many Unggoy and [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. Proceeding, the Chief and Marines reach the hangar.''

''The Chief and Marines go on the offense and secure the deck. Multiple Phantom dropships enter the hangar, delivering groups of infantry in an effort to re-take the stategically important room. From a distance, [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] are seen engaged in an aerial fight near a [[CCS-class battlecruiser|Cruiser]] which keeps sending Covenant reinforcements to the base. The Chief and Marines make use of several turrets and defend the hangar. The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces eventually prevail and the Phantoms retreat.''

''The Pelican hanging on a crane in one of the docks slides out and is released. The Dropship lands to evac the Marines in the hangar, while the Master Chief restocks on weapons and ammo.''

''The Marines open fire on the swarm. The Chief finds a [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|turret]] and unloads on them. The swarm eventually falls. Several stragglers scurry about on the ground. The Chief easily dispatches them.''

''The Chief heads through the corridor to the Motor Pool. While down there, he spots a large [[pack]] of Jiralhanae, led by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] with a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|gravity hammer]].''

''The Master Chief and 'Vadam enter the barracks. They see a captive Marine thrown hard into a pillar, where multiple Marine corpses lie. The Marine dies and falls limply to the ground, and the Chief and 'Vadam rush in. One Marine being held by a Jiralhanae begs for mercy as it decides to kill him, too.''

''After taking out the Brutes, the surviving Marines grab weapons from more piles of corpses, taking a second to grieve for their comrades while the Chief and 'Vadam resupply and reload. They continue their rescue throughout the barracks, defeating the remaining Jiralhanae, including a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain]] with a detached [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma turret]], and rescuing (a maximum of) seven Marines.''

''Kilo 23 takes off, getting out of the Jiralhanae's reach. Noticing the Chief and 'Vadam, the [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s attack them. Reinforcements enter from above the observation room as well as from another door. The Chief, along with his allies ultimately defeat the Jiralhanae and secure the flight deck, a door at the road below opens. Johnson arrives, holding an [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and leading a group of surviving Marines. The squad is under fire from a group of Yanme'e.''

''The Chief walks on through to another roadway, with Covenant [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma cannons]] set up. Using the Plasma Cannons and/or using all available cover, he clears out a large contingent of Unggoy and Kig-Yar along with a pair of [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. The Chief soon gets back to the Motor Pool next door to the Ops Center.''  

''As the Unggoy and Jiralhanae Captains get busy, the Chief takes them by surprise and defeats them. The War Chieftain opens fire on the Spartan with a [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod gun]] but the Chief manages to overcome him, taking back the Ops Center and the bomb.''

''The Chief gets to the hangar, where [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]s flee, abandoning many Unggoy and Kig-Yar to their fates. The doomed Covenant run around in panic, some trying to catch the fleeing Phantoms.''
