At some point after retrieving John-117, Keyes took the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to the [[Asźod|Asźod ship breaking yards]] on the ground to retrieve a fragment of [[Cortana]] from [[SPARTAN-B312]]. This fragment held valuable navigation data that would lead the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to [[Installation 04]]. As he met with Noble Six to receive the Cortana fragment, Keyes noted that Dr. Halsey's judgement in choosing the package's carrier had been correct. Noble Six reminded the Captain that the mission's success was thanks to the efforts of the whole of [[Noble Team]], to which Keyes replied that their sacrifice would be remembered. Noble Six gave covering fire against a Covenant {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} and waves of other Covenant aircraft with a ground-based [[Onager|mass driver]] as the ''Autumn'' took off and withdrew from the system.<ref name="TPoA">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> | At some point after retrieving John-117, Keyes took the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to the [[Asźod|Asźod ship breaking yards]] on the ground to retrieve a fragment of [[Cortana]] from [[SPARTAN-B312]].
