===Investigating suspicious activity===
[[Noble Team]] flew in to [[Visegrád]] using two [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcons]], but quickly discovered that their comms with command were being jammed by an unknown source. Detecting a [[distress beacon]] and spotting smoke, Noble landed near some houses a distance from the relay with [[Jun-A266]] ordered to remain in the Falcons to provide aerial overwatch. Investigating, Noble found the beacon hidden under a broken wooden pallet, a wrecked Warthog, blood smears and some possible plasma burns, but no sign of whoever set off the beacon or destroyed the Warthog or even explosives residue.
Noble continued their mission by pushing on towards the nearby smoke. Pushing through a house, the team made contact with a [[Hungarian]] farmer who [[Jorge-052]] questioned. The man revealed that he had heard screaming from his neighbors and gunshots which had ended around sunrise and that something in the fields had killed his son. As Noble tried to understand what the farmer had meant by "something" instead of "someone," Jun called in with news of picking up heat signatures in the structure east of them. Jorge ordered the farmer back inside while Noble continued on to investigate.<ref name="Winter" />
===A terrible discovery===
Entering the structure, the team found several corpses, including Army troopers who had been tortured to death for information. Detecting movement, Noble continued on, only to discover that the enemy was [[Covenant]] and not [[Insurrectionist]]s as they had believed. Noble engaged the Covenant troops around the structure while ''[[Charlie 1]]'' shot down attacking [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]]. As Noble cleared out the enemy, a [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit dropship]] deployed more troops across a bridge that were also taken out by the Spartans.
After winning the skirmish, Commander [[Carter-A259]] stated that they needed Kat at the relay immediately in order to warn [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland|Holland]] of the Covenant threat. With Jun detecting more Covenant activity to the east, Noble crossed a creek and took out a squad of [[Sangheili Ultra]]s. Once the Covenant were cleared out, Carter ordered Kat and [[Emile-A239]] to leave for the relay in a Falcon with Jun while he, Jorge and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] investigated more Covenant activity to the northeast.<ref name="Winter" />

==Aftermath==
After killing the last of the [[Covenant]], [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] reset a junction at the request of [[Kat-B320]] who determined that the plasma damage to the relay would cause it to need at least two weeks of repairs to get back online. However, by splicing into the main overland bundle, Kat was able to get [[Carter-A259]] a connection to [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] while [[Jorge-052]] attempted to get answers from [[Sára Sorvad]] without success. Carter reported the presence of the Covenant on [[Reach]] to a horrified Holland and that the [[WINTER CONTINGENCY]] was now in effect.<ref name="Winter">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref>
