==Boarding the ''Unrelenting''==

The Spartans boarded a [[Pelican]] and took off into space. They strapped the Pelican's [[ANVIL-II ASM]] warheads to themselves and donned thruster packs to ~~manoeuvre~~ through space in order to board the ''Unrelenting''. Only three Spartans, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Sam-034]] successfully landed on the ship and entered through the hole that the MAC had torn in the ship's hull. They fought through a handful of [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]s, reached the ship's reactor, placed their warheads inside, and escaped the blast radius.

Unfortunately, Sam was hit by [[plasma]] fire from a [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] breaching his armor, making it impossible for him to escape from the ship with his comrades, as he would die from decompression. He was forced to stay behind, holding off the Covenant while John and Kelly escaped. The warheads detonated and the ''Unrelenting'' was destroyed, taking Sam with it. He was the first SPARTAN-II to die in combat<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 127-130</ref>.
