However, the Covenant were ultimately unsuccessful. The UNSC, after clearing out the last ruins, were able to secure a landing zone for a [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] to air-drop resupply canisters and a team of Marines, who aided SPARTAN-117 in the final push towards the main temple. The UNSC forces commandeered a gondola they found on a tower. Despite being attacked by Covenant [[Banshee]]s and [[Ranger]]s, they were able to gain access to the temple. After destroying several defense turrets, they entered the Temple as the Prophet of Regret was finishing his sermon.

After docking, ''High Charity'' reverted from Slipspace over Installation 05, with hundreds of warships, including those of the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]]. Responding to a distress signal from Regret, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] planned to storm the temple by Phantom dropships in an urgent measure to kill SPARTAN-117 and defend the Prophet leader. However, the treacherous [[Prophet of Truth]] diverted the Phantoms, deliberately allowing the [[SPARTAN-II]] to kill Regret as part of his socio-political plans for the Covenant.

A large contingent of Sangheili Honor Guards and Unggoy defended the Prophet, but SPARTAN-117 was able to board the Prophet's levitating gravity chair and beat the Prophet to death. During the fray, all the remaining Marines were presumably killed. Shortly thereafter, a Covenant Assault Carrier repositioned over the main temple, and destroyed it with its [[energy projector]], but SPARTAN-117 fell into the lake with seconds to spare and was grasped by the tentacles of the [[Gravemind]], a Flood central intelligence, and taken prisoner.
