On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], [[John-117]] received the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI armor]] in the ''Cairo'' armory prior to attending an awards ceremony on the station's command center. The ceremony was interrupted by the start of the battle for Earth when a [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|fleet]] of thirteen [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s and two {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s attacked Earth. They tried to break through the ''Cairo''{{'}}s battle cluster by sending boarding craft to plant bombs on the stations to destroy them. [[Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Hood]] commanded the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces from the station during the attack. Unlike the ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and the ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'', ''Cairo'' survived the Covenant attempt to detonate an [[antimatter charge]] on board. In an ironic twist, the bomb was located and used by John-117 to destroy a Covenant assault carrier, ''[[Day of Jubilation]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}} | On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], [[John-117]] received the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI armor]] in the ''Cairo'' armory prior to attending an awards ceremony on the station's command center.
