Solomon-069 and Kelly-087 immediately vectored toward the target. The pair arrived as the cruiser was launching [[Seraph-class Starfighter|fighters]]. Kelly-087 advised waiting for the other Spartans, but Solomon-069 sought to board the ship while the shields were down. Kelly-087 held the shuttle bay while Solomon-069 landed and proceeded on foot. Upon arrival at the signal's location however, Solomon-069 was met with one of the decoys - an [[Antimatter Charge]]. The charge detonated, and Solomon was instantly vaporized, along the entire cruiser. John-117 thought it suspicious the scan had returned a positive match so easily but arrived only in time to warn and save Kelly-087. With scans now returning multiple decoy signatures, John-117 deduced Halsey was on the fleet's flagship. | Solomon-069 and Kelly-087 immediately vectored toward the target.

The Covenant [[Supreme Commander]] [[Luro 'Taralumee]] initially believed all three Spartans, instead of one, had been killed by the trap and was confident the remainder would soon follow, but [[Major | The Covenant [[Supreme Commander]] [[Luro 'Taralumee]] initially believed all three Spartans, instead of one, had been killed by the trap and was confident the remainder would soon follow, but [[Sangheili Major|Major]] [[Thel 'Lodamee]] expressed the need for caution. 'Taralumee thought 'Lodamee's reputation tarnished by a previous inauspicious episode and was not receptive to the Major's counsel. Contrary to the Supreme Commander's optimism, 'Lodamee believed the Spartans would manage to board the flagship and prepared to face the enemy in close combat.<ref name="Pack"/> | ||
As the remaining four Spartans headed for the assault carrier, they were intercepted by multiple Seraph squadrons. Kelly-087's craft was severely damaged; Arthur-079 pulled back to cover them but he scraped hulls with two closely flying cruisers, lost control, and crashed. Kelly-087 abandoned her craft and took up the rear turret on Fred-104's booster frame. | As the remaining four Spartans headed for the assault carrier, they were intercepted by multiple Seraph squadrons.

John-117 moved through the ship, found Halsey's cryo-tube, and enjoyed a brief reunion after thawing her out. 'Lodamee intercepted the pair as they made to leave the ship. The Major | John-117 moved through the ship, found Halsey's cryo-tube, and enjoyed a brief reunion after thawing her out. 'Lodamee intercepted the pair as they made to leave the ship. The Major gave the Spartan an energy sword and they duelled, with the Sangheili disarming his opponent after several seconds. However, at the same time, the fleet had cleared the stellar magnetic field and the Fleet Master was eager to jump immediately, assuming that 'Lodamee had failed his task. The Fleet Master detached and set the self-destruct for the entire ventral aft section of the ship, hoping to kill John and Halsey in the process. An incensed 'Lodamee was involuntarily lifted to safety by [[gravity lift]] before he could kill the Spartan. | ||
John-117 and Halsey abandoned ship in an [[Covenant Escape Pod|escape pod]]. Seraphs appeared to pursue the slow and unarmed pod. Kelly-087 and Fred-104 escaped in commandeered Seraphs and covered the pod. The ONI stealth ship returned to drive off the remaining pursuers and recover Halsey and the Spartans.<ref name="Pack"/> | John-117 and Halsey abandoned ship in an [[Covenant Escape Pod|escape pod]].
