B312's former superior allegedly used the Spartan as "his own private grim reaper"; because of this he was reluctant to have B312 assigned to NOBLE Team. Several of NOBLE were also resistant to receiving a new teammate, due to the recent loss of the previous Noble Six [[Thom-A293]] [[Battle of Fumirole|just two months earlier]]. Regardless, the Spartan's reassignment went forward, and on [[2552#July|July 24, 2552]], SPARTAN-B312 was presented to NOBLE Team under the callsign "Noble Six".{{Ref/Reuse|profile}} | B312's former superior allegedly used the Spartan as "his own private grim reaper"; because of this he was reluctant to have B312 assigned to NOBLE Team.

As the plan, codenamed [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], was put in motion on August 14, NOBLE Team first helped UNSC ground forces repel Covenant invaders from the secret [[Sabre Program Launch/Research Range]], then launched Six and Jorge into orbit aboard a Sabre. The pair joined UNSC forces in defending the repair and refit station ''[[Anchor 9]]'' from [[Type-27 Banshee|Banshee]] and [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraph fighters]]. After the station's defenses were brought back online and the Covenant attackers retreated, 312 and the other Sabres in the group followed the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}}, whose crew had committed their slipspace drive to the operation, toward ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', a Covenant corvette that was scheduled to refuel with the supercarrier. Soon, 312 and several other boarders infiltrated the craft, proceeding toward the vessel's bridge. | ||
During the operation, the makeshift slipspace bomb was damaged and became incapable of automatic activation. Jorge, volunteering to activate the bomb manually and thus sacrifice his life, forced B312 off the corvette just before it docked with the supercarrier. At first, the operation was a success, as ''Ardent Prayer'' was completely destroyed and ''Long Night of Solace'' was split amidships, crashing to into a mountain range on the planet below. Unfortunately, a far larger Covenant fleet arrived moments after both ships' destruction, and promptly resumed the Covenant invasion.{{Ref/Reuse|Lnos}} | During the operation, the makeshift slipspace bomb was damaged and became incapable of automatic activation.
