Tillson starts the elevator down and the Master Chief explains that the Forerunner artifact the Ivanoff scientists excavated is a weapon that the Didact wants back. Tillson warns the Master Chief that the Composer can't be moved, it having taken three months and "the biggest starship the UNSC could throw at it" to move the Composer to Ivanoff Station in the first place. Recognizing this, the Master Chief has Tillson give Cortana access to the station's supply manifests so they can find a way to destroy the Composer and deny it to the Didact. Cortana locates seven excavation grade [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s in the station's manifest and Tillson protests using them to destroy the Composer due to the years of work the scientists have invested in studying it. When the Master Chief refuses to relent, Tillson reluctantly agrees to have the nukes primed for remote detonation and to continue the evacuation. | Tillson starts the elevator down and the Master Chief explains that the Forerunner artifact the Ivanoff scientists excavated is a weapon that the Didact wants back.

The Master Chief makes his way to the atrium where the Composer is stored only to be informed that the Covenant shot down the station's first evac shuttle. Recognizing that the station has outer turrets, Cortana instructs the Master Chief to take her to the controls so she can reprogram the turrets to cover the station's evacuation. The Master Chief reenters the main parts of the station and resumes fighting through the various corridors, facing Covenant boarding parties at two sets of airlocks as the Didact keeps scanning the station for the Composer.

Finally, the Master Chief reaches the control area and after eliminating the two cloaked [[Sangheili Zealot]]s located there, inserts Cortana into the control systems. Cortana, despite her rampancy growing ever worse, is able to activate Ivanoff Station's [[Mark 2488 Onager|Onager cannons]] and have them fire on the Covenant ships besieging the station. The Master Chief alerts Tillson who promises to issue the final evac orders and instructs him to meet her and her crew back on the upper platform where they will help the Master Chief get their nuke to the Composer. | ||
Fighting his way back to the atrium, the Master Chief discovers that Covenant forces have found the Composer. To keep the Covenant from warning the Didact, the Master Chief takes control of a nearby [[Mantis]] and engages Covenant forces made up of [[Ghost]]s, [[Wraith]]s, [[Banshee]]s, Phantoms and ground troops dropped by the Phantoms. The Master Chief contacts Tillson for his nuke, but is warned that its not ready yet. After multiple waves of enemies, the surviving Covenant forces retreat from the atrium. Unable to raise Tillson, the Master Chief makes his way to a nearby elevator to find her. As the elevator takes him higher into the station, the Didact finally locates the Composer and uses ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'s'' tractor beam to remove it from the station, removing the roof of the atrium entirely and stunning Cortana so much in her rampant state that the Master Chief has to help her focus again to get her to find Tillson. | Fighting his way back to the atrium, the Master Chief discovers that Covenant forces have found the Composer.
