However, before the Spartans could be extracted, Murphy warned that they had Phantoms in the area which dropped more reinforcements, including more Hunters and a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]]. Miller had [[Robert Dalton]] drop them supplies to help take out the Covenant reinforcements with [[Promethean Watcher]]s also translocating in to help the Covenant forces. A Covenant Phantom made an attack run, resulting in it accidentally or on purpose crashing into a canyon wall near Crimson and Kodiak's position, destroying the enemy dropship but causing no harm to the Spartans. Finally, Crimson and Kodiak succeeded in clearing out all of the Covenant forces in the area. | However, before the Spartans could be extracted, Murphy warned that they had Phantoms in the area which dropped more reinforcements, including more Hunters and a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]].
