Just then, a Covenant [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]] appeared out of the fog and began firing at John, who managed to kill its [[Jiralhanae]] driver with his MA5B's [[M301 grenade launcher|underbarrel grenade launcher]]. Shortly after that was handled, he noticed more Ghosts entering the quarry, so John ordered Green and Gold Teams to deal with them as Blue Team went to handle the prowler. At this point, the looming intrusion corvette had begun deploying EVA-equipped [[Sangheili]], Jiralhanae, and [[Kig-Yar]] warriors via gravity lift, with the first already looking for a way inside the ship. Another corvette crested the edge of the quarry, firing its main cannon on the Spartans. With the situation quickly deteriorating and Nyeto's support still setting up, John realized that immediate action was necessary. While Solomon and the others were still dealing with the Ghosts, John ordered Blue Team to simultaneously fire on the avalanche just below the ''Starry Night'' with their grenade launchers to cause the vessel to fall to quarry floor and prevent the Covenant from gaining entrance. Despite Fred and Kelly's warnings that such an action could bring the whole slope down on top of them, each member of the team acknowledged and followed his order. As they has feared, the volley of [[grenade]]s worked a bit too well, bringing the avalanche down on top of all twelve Spartans, but successfully delaying the Covenant in their boarding attempt.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}}

Solomon and five other Spartans became buried under the ice, with he and [[Naomi-010]] becoming completely incapacitated. John-117 was also buried, but not totally immobilized. While he worked on freeing himself, John gave Fred command of the mission to board and destroy the ''Starry Night''. Fred-104, Linda-058, and [[Malcolm-059]] boarded the prowler as available members of Green and Gold Teams coordinated attacks on the seemingly endless stream of enemy ground vehicles, supported by at least three Covenant corvettes. John freed himself from the ice flow and began helping repel would-be boarders while Fred's team prepared the vessel's [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon]]. Meanwhile, Nyeto's support finally arrived the form of strafing runs that destroyed two of the intrusion corvettes assaulting Green and Gold Teams. Just as the nuke was finished arming, the looming Covenant corvette finally made its move and began levitating the ''Starry Night'' up and into its hold using a [[gravity lift]]. John ordered Fred's team to activate the nuke and flee from the prowler with the surviving crew, doing so via escape pod. He also warned the others that the nuke would detonate in thirty seconds, urging them to escape the blast radius immediately. By this point, Solomon had been extricated from the ice flow, either by his own doing or with help from a teammate. Each of the Spartans made it to safety before the nuke detonated and Colonel Crowther extracted them after the resulting [[electromagnetic pulse]] had dissipated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS15|HSS|Chapter=15}}
