Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point and collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for, as well as a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva nuclear device]], then flew away from the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], he was "accidentally" shot down by ODSTs who knew of his betrayal. | Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back.

Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[the Rookie|a Rookie ODST]] | Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[the Rookie|a Rookie ODST]] who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements. Gage, who knew he was dying, told the Rookie his life story, right up until he crashed the Pelican. The Rookie, who had listened intently, promised to remember Gage and do whatever he could against the Covenant. Gage then told the Rookie that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs were on their way to the crash site, and warned the Rookie to get as far away as possible, as Gage was going to detonate the Shiva, killing them all. The Rookie ditched most of his gear and ran for his life until he reached the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonated the nuke, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. The Rookie, being the only survivor, hailed a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] and was informed that [[Reach]] had just been attacked<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 198''</ref>, and that the survivors of New Jerusalem were retreating to [[Earth]]. They escaped as the planet was glassed, but the Rookie would not forget Gage Yevgenny, and his long and tragic life.<ref name="Dirt"/><ref group="note">It has been confirmed in a comment by [[Tobias Buckell]] [http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2010/03/examination-of-female-characters-part-3.html here] that the rookie in ''Dirt'' is the same character as The Rookie from ''Halo 3: ODST''. Thus, the battle depicted in the story has to be the Battle of New Jerusalem, as it was the last battle in which The Rookie participated before the [[Battle of Earth]].</ref> | ||
